The Realm War

Chpt VI DEMONS OF THE TEMPLES

"We've been searching for almost an hour in here, when are we going to find it?" King Edmond whined.

"Oh stop your whining and keep looking, I know it's here, it has to be," said King Fullerton.

"What are we searching for anyway?"

"The Crystal of Iron."

"Let's just find this stupid thing and get out, it's hot in here."

"That 'stupid thing' is the ticket to becoming the King of Ultimate Power. Now let's move!"

And suddenly, out of nowere, something hit King Edmond to the ground, knocking him unconscious.

"What the...? Who's there? Show yourself, now!" Fullerton shouted. Then, out of nowere, a man appeared in front of him.

"What do you want?" he asked in a ghastly voice.

"Who are you?" Fullerton asked. But the man didn't answer, instead, he just disappeared.

"Hey! come back here! You coward!" Fullerton said angrily. Then the man appeared again, but this time, with backup.

"So," said the man, "you think I'm a coward? I'll show you whose the coward! Get him! One of you let Lord Valdenar know about this."

And then they came after him. But just then, King Edmond woke up. "Took you long enough," Fullerton complained.

"You try getting hit in the head like that! And besides, who are they?"

"Let's just say, their not friends."

"Run, or fight?"

"Fight."

So they got out their swords and started fighting. But while they were fighting, one of the men blasted them into the wall. And after the kings got back onto their feet, more men showed up.

"Now do we fight?" Edmond asked.

"He who fights and runs away, lives to fight another day. RUN FOR IT!!!" Fullerton shouted.

"But what about the crystal?"

"What do you care more about? Your life, or the crystal?"

"Good point."

But while they were running, they stumbled upon the Crystal of Iron. "Grab the crystal!" Fullerton yelled from behind.

After King Edmond grabbed the crystal, they started for the entrance. But then they felt something. Shaking? The entrance was closing, and the small army was still chasing them!

The kings ran with everything they had, but it wasn't enough, the doors were nearly shut! Legs burning, feet aching, doors closing, there was no chance of escaping. But then Fullerton had an idea. "Give me the crystal! Now!" he yelled.

"Why?"

"Just trust me!"

So King Edmond threw the Crystal of Iron to King Fullerton. And when Fullerton caught it, he threw it at the entrance. "What was that for? We needed that!" Edmond said angrily.

"Don't worry, I've got it all under control."

And then the Crystal of Iron landed on the ground right below the entrance. The crystal held the entrance open just enough to lift it back open.

"Hurry! That thing can't hold forever!" Fullerton shouted. When they got there, they started to lift the entrance enough to squeeze through.

"Go Edmond! I can't keep this up!" said Fullerton.

"But what about you? I'll hold the door, you're the one who started this thing, and you're going to finish it."

"Go on without me. Take the crystal and run, and don't look back!"

And then King Edmond squeezed out of the temple's entrance and ran for his life. But before he was out of earshot, the entrance to the temple collapsed.

"King Fullerton!" he shouted, running back to the temple. And when he got there, all he saw was King Fullerton's hand sticking out from under the collapsed entrance.

"Don't worry King Fullerton. You will be evenged."

"Weston! I think I found it!" shouted King Luxembourg shouted from behind a mountain of diamonds. And then King Weston walked over to see what Luxembourg had found.

"You found the Crystal of Diamonds?" Weston asked.

"Yup. But there's one small problem. Look," said Luxembourg, pointing to a cliff that had diamond platforms going across it, with sharp crystals at the bottom.

"You call that small? That could cost us our lives," said Weston.

"Not for this king, watch this," said Luxembourg. And then King Luxembourg backed away from the cliff, and then getting a running start towards the cliff.

"What are you trying to do, get your self killed?"

But right when Weston finished his sentence, King Luxembourg jumped from platform to platform. when he reached the other side, he grabbed the Crystal of Diamonds. "What did you say?" Luxembourg asked, jumping back to where Weston was.

"Never mind," Weston replied. "And how do you know this?"

"Now, to the Temple of Emeralds."

And when they got outside, King Edmond was standing there.

"King Edmond? What are you doing here?" they both asked.

"It's King Fullerton, he's dead."

"What happened?" Weston asked.

"While we were looking for the Crystal of Iron, a man and his small army attacked us. But the strangest thing is that we didn't do anything wrong, so it doesn't make sense of why they attacked us," Edmond explained.

"I don't think they were coming after you because you did something wrong, I think they were trying to get the crystal from you," said Luxembourg.

"But why? Why would they want the crystal?" Edmond questioned. "I'm not sure, but I think that..."

"Wait," Weston interrupted, "remember when we were sitting at Fullerton's table? Did you notice the holes that went around it? There were eight of them, just like there's eight crystals."

"What are you trying to get at?" Edmond asked.

"What I'm trying to get at is that all of the crystals go in it, but I have no clue of what will happen."

"But there's one more thing, one of the men mentioned some guy named Lord Valdenar. Do you have any clue of who that may be?"

"Lord Valdenar? No, I haven't a clue. But whoever he is, he's not good."

"I don't know, but I think those men are at all of the temples, so we better be careful."
