Spellbound by a Woodfairy

Chapter 5

It made a halt in the throne room where the king and some royal officials were having a meeting.

"Your Highness, do we have to submit to their authority?!" Asked an older blurb in distress, whose lantern(for that was how they address their physical body) had turned orange color as he was sad.

##The blurbs are a bulb-like creatures who emanate light from their lantern. They have an oval-shaped body, almost like that of the bot in the movie 'Big Hero Six' (this is to aid imagination). On their lantern body, was a baseball-like object floating which served their head. They do not possess legs or arms but move about levitating. The bulb inside their lantern changed its color in accordance to their mood- yellow means they are in a happy mood, red means anger, blue means peace and feeling of ecstasy, orange means frustration, distress, sadness and worry, and so on. They have a lifespan of seven years which they fade away after procreation.

All the blurbs except King Blobbing Guo were emitting orange color, he was filled with rage so he was emitting red rays. Hiscrown which was on his floating head, emitted red as well. Hisqueen sat beside him lamenting.

"It is all over!" She exclaimed sobbing.

"Keep shut woman!"

The mindless barging of the door was what drew the attention of the assembly to the two guards who ran inside like they were been chased breathing heavily. They stood silent, trying to catch their breath, exhausted from trying to catch the robotic drone hovering about the chandelier.

"And what is wrong with the both of you morons?!" King Guo lashed out, he had not noticed the flying robot.

"We are sorry your Highness, we were trying to catch that thing", said one of the guards pointing to the robotic drone above which had already begun to project a hologram.

"That is a drone", Said the Queen smartly.

"Yes, but I do not recognize this particular one. It does not have the wood fairies peace seal rather-" he was caught short by the playing hologram.

King Yìchèn and King Mùchèn, sent messages through to the blurbs using the anti-ultra vires-ray-shield protected robot drone, which would be able to resist the heat in the globe and not melt.

"Greetings KingGuo of the blurbs." Said King Yìchèn.

"Let me formally introduce myself, I am King Yìchèn of the Witcher globe, the newly ordained ruler of the Cosmos, and, beside me is my king Mùchèn."

"Fool" King Guo muttered as he watched with impatience.

"We sure know, you all know who's in charge now. Without much Ado, surrender or face our wrath. I'm sure you don't choose the latter, going from what you must have heard happened to those pesty woodfairies. We Witchers love to solve things amicably with you. No blood spilling, just sign the peace pact. Be the first to lead this treaty. When the others sign, you know what it means. The ball is in your court." King Yìchèn said, the hologram became a bit shaky, it made his image not to be mirrored properly.

"Here see, the orb is in our possession now" King Mùchèn pushed Yìchèn aside softly, then showed off the orb which he held with his hands. It was looking sick, emitting more black cloudy smoke which frightened the blurb assembly watching.

"You better sign that treaty-" the hologram stopped playing and the drone pulled out a reheat-protected sheet and a pen for the signing. This treaty is a formal agreement for all globes to be legally bound by the Witcher's authority otherwise, their rulership would be incomplete. They had colonized the blurbs earlier, but they compelled them by force and they obeyed ,grudgingly but this time it was different.

"I refuse to sign such a bloody pact," said the King Guo.

"Thank you for your feedback" the robot drone responded, rolling up its paper preparing for flight back to the Witchers globe.

"What is going to happen now?"asked another elderly blurb from the assembly. He is the royal sword-bearer.

"We wait and see" KingGuo said confidently as he leaned backward in his chair.

"We wait and see," King Guo said confidently as he leaned backward in his chair.

"We wait??!"

They refused us" King Mùchèn said with rage as he bit his fingers nervously.

"Let them be," said King Yìchèn with a lot of chill and confidence.

"Make preparations to convince the rest of the globes in the galaxy to sign that damned treaty!"

They proceed to visit the Aqua's next. King Yìchèn volunteered to go himself, and as he prepared to go, he bagged a poison, this was his plan B if they resisted him. He'd poison their waters. Their globe is emersed with water. The seven kingdoms had rulers who answered to the center which is headed by a King.

"Long time no see my friend" King Aquinas exclaimed as he ascended the throne to meet King Yìchèn who had stormed in with a protective magical bubble impenetrable by water as he did not possess the ability to breathe underwater like the Aquas.

"You should have summoned me instead," King Aquinas said worried.

King Yìchèn stood watching him without uttering a single word.

"You know why I am here, right?" King Yìchèn finally spoke up. "There's no time for petty talks Aquinas, here you go" he hands over the treaty's scroll.

King Aquinas takes a step backward.

"Wait, wait… I must confess, I am indeed perplexed. I feel so special to have the king of the legendary witchers himself deliver this scroll, offering me the privilege to sign before his presence" he stretched his scaly hands to take the scroll, King Yìchèn eyed him, he rolled his eyes. His childhood friend never repented from using flattering words. This king had a tongue of sweet jelly, no wonder he was able to woo the great Queen Alfina of the East and made her his wife within one night of meeting her.

King Yìchèn eyed King Aquinas again. The half-fish, half-man was crowned king at the young age of thirteen after his grandfather King Aquinas the Thirty-first instead of his father. His father had gone into exile.
