The Apogian War

Chapter 18

"Ahu, Ahu, Ahu Clover almost choked on his platter as he saw "acting king Poseidon" as the weird man had announced,

"Long long ago, when the Domains where United and there was strife for the throne there arose an uproar for the head of the throne,,,,,,,," The Rebel chief had started to speak in his proverbial manner,

"Blah blah blah, a rebel exclaimed to the other,

The room became silent, 'Finally' the two rebels remarks to each other,

"Finally' the chief said, listen oh ye plebes of Vandartha, there's more that ye ought to know than thou hast heard,

"The Apogian is thine lord of light"the chief spoke with a resigned manner which he usually did when he knew the crowd would oppose,,

"Impossible, a rebel shouted, impossible , impossible impossible the crowd continued their chanting, when suddenly the echelon spoke, they which disagrees pls step forward, no one dared stepped, cause they knew, stepping out would mean their death,

Everyone regained back their positions and prepared to listen to the worst,

The Apogian had done it ones before and it has decided to again,

"Whispers" done what, what again, wha,,,, what was the APOGIAN going to do the rebels wondered, they have served the Apogian over the centuries, what has he to do kill them? A task? What has happened, what will happen, they all wondered, then the chief spoke:'''''

"THE APOGIANS TIME"

It is said in ancient times that when the Apogian wakes, the time shall be reversed to the Dark ages,

"Does that mean,,,,, the echelon spoke again, 'yes it is what it is, the chief replied,

The Rebels shrieked, screamed and finally, realized what they had done,

They had awakened an ancient curse, but more like changing their

Reality, they would be trapped in bodies which were not their own, minds which spoke for themselves, they would be awere but unaware, they would return to be children of Vankok,

"When, how, why, who will be who, 'noo,, ooo,,, o,, ooo, oooooo more screams from the Rebels of the cathedral, for they knew what had befallen them thier whole reality was to be changed in the twinkle of an eye, but when will it happen to them,

THE REBELS CHORUS

The Rebel all chorused in unison "WHEN"

The chief was perplexed, why had they all asked when, not how, not can it be stopped, not, can the Apogian be killed, not can we escape not even can it be stopped, BUT They had asked When and again all in UNISON,

The rebels Where known to be betrayals, backbiters and even killed themselves, most times to protect and keep a finding all to themselves, the chief realized They had been POSSESSED BY THE APOGIAN,

The chief had no opinion of his own as he answered,,,,,,

Poseidon looked towards his guests from atop where he stood, as the acting king of the Hardias domain, he wore a dark ferment bath with silver stones which gave off a cringy sound as he stepped towards where Clover which he hadn't noticed yet and the three damsels,

He strooled majestically, as the king had bid him do so,

The king had also told him a bit about the damsels himself, that they where his adopted children, from before his wife was to be alive,

As he made his way down to the table, lo and behold

"Lord of light, why hast thou been Found here, Clover I have been searching for you all night long, " you certainly are one to talk, my king, the damsels giggled, said acting king looks ridiculous in the custume, Clover and Poseidon argued, almost forever that night, till the breaking of day, "when whilst thou recover from thy sickness, and drunkenness oh father, whilst thou continue to suffer and bleed at the unending tunnels,

Will thou notay thy strength and weaknesses at our bosom, so that we may help thee bear thy heavy burden, Delilah said, " we art but for you and by your side, that thou may rely on us" the daughters always spake in that manner, as their mother the queen had thought them,

Clover and Poseidon had agreed to go back to Darkovan tomorrow and bring him news, little had they known of the calamity the Apogian had awakened and the time leap to the Dark ages was at hand,

Darkovan woke with a start, 'where hast they gone' he wandered, I have Hardly seen Clover within the past day, and Poseidon had been gone far too long, hath they gotten into trouble cause it wasn't far at all for most specially Clover, he had recalled the incident between the tusunder brothers,,,,,

But most importantly what was this feeling, that ached at him like his consciousness has been slowly leaving him and he was changing into a new person, and straight way it came right into his mind, the tale his father hath ones told him,

THE APOGIAN'S TALE,

A myth, a legend, a time Where the struggle for peace creates war,

A man arose, a far and forgotten legend, among the lot as a grain in a field, and was determined to by the uncorrupt, the lot turned against him and sent him afield, banished, a cast away he found other outcasts, and were united as a whole,

The lot had heard of the cast aways , now united, so they set fought for their destruction to protect their peace, creating war, after the fall of the outcasts, a survivor arose, and sought the lot destruction for peace, therefore creating yet again war, ye the odds were against the survivor,

He yet ought be determined to arose a way to the lots downfall, by confining injectable subjects against the lot,

The battle had begone, each aiming for the others head, arrows flew, swords glittered and stuck the wielders enemy, the lot fell and behold a new regime, to be led by the survivor,

A ruler he was for a few, and the latter years, a fool in corniving armour, spoils of war, wealth fartold he dwelled, the people's trust he lost.

A messenger untold strooled, and told of the trust he ought behold, untending, unhering, the survivor pleas no more, 'behold my soul enough till my little enternity extinguishes, fill till ye want no more, little had ye known, of the APOGIANS WRATH.

A morning had come, the survivor had awakened, unrecognised by the environment, he never knew as a slave he woke, a king was I, he doubted.

For the Apogian had sent him years back in time, when the survivor was yet a slave, to attain,,,,,,,,,,,,,, Darkovan could not remember the last words, but he knew the Apogian had been revived,

"The walpurgis must hold,'(the gathering of the Apogians) Darkovan shouted out loud, 'my lord art thou alright, pharhaps our absence has not brought thou dismay' Poseidon said 'we are but sorry my lord, we wished not this of our own' if Posiedon hadn't turned himself into a name king, I would have been back sonner' really hw about u eh,,,,,o,,

"Quite!! there's something I must tell you!" Clover and Poseidon fell silent immediately, 'we shall invite all the Domains to host walpurgis,

"Wal,,,pur,,gis!!! , Clover exclaimed, that hasn't been held since like forever,,,, why would you call for such, which could instigate the upcoming war faster,,' Poseidon said

'quite! Darkovan shouted yet again, ' what's happening he never raises his voice to us' Clover thought, ' they must know why just, we need to move fast,

"We will each go to the Domains, I will take three, Ausburn, Faltron and Coltus, you two shall take golden, and of cause Hardias has already been taken care of,, right Posiedon?

'Yes my lord, Poseidon answered, by all means my lord, it is Heard that only you had made contact with Darwin in years, might you not inform him of this development,

"He already knows just like I do, Darkovan replied,

"Wow the rumours are true!' Clover said with an exclaming look,

'Well that would be all we head out at the breaking of day.
