Born to be Queen

6. c***k in black crystal.

He was ready to leave for Oea town If they had just left, they would have to spend the whole night in the Forest. In such a stormy weather, crossing the Oea mountains range or resting there in camp would have been much more dangerous for king and for those who are loyals and keepers of king.

Augustus was also desperate to visit his friends place for his funeral as well as for gathering traces and evidence how his friend died, as Thomas Artino was one of the finest in their kind it’s a hard task to murder him.

But he forbade King Albert to leave at that time. “Thomas was a kind of man who was close to everyone. Many people wants to go there with you. And the place which we have to cross is full of dangers, This time is difficult for all of us and we are not ready to get into war with darkness directly. We need to wait till morning Albert .” Augustus said in serious tone.

“I don’t care whether it is difficult or impossible, I want to reach there as soon as possible. In light or in dark doesn’t matter.” Albert said raising his one eyebrow towards Augustus in annoyance.

“My lord, you are a great king and You vowed to save your people. I know what we have lost but we also have to keep in mind what else we can lose because of your stubbornness. I hope you remember your oath as the king of Ellipso.” Augustus said fixing his eyes on the king Albert.

As always King Albert knew that no one can win with Augustus and somehow he is right too, he choose not to speak in that matter but he was restless and can’t seat idle there, So he thought that a ceremony should be held in castle to pay tribute to those who have murdered. He told Roy to make all the arrangements for the ceremony.

Everyone gathered in there holy place crystal chamber and prayed for all those who have died. When everyone was gone, only King, Saint and Roy were left there. They saw change in the appearance of crystal which scares as well as amazed them. It seems cloudy in the huge crystal once it was transparent and shiny now, it’s turning cloudy and the black crystal inside it was melting because of which a little black colour started spreading inside the supreme power crystal, It seemed as if the demonic power was rising to change light into dark.

Of course that’s not a good thing to discover. Even Augustus could not find anything, but he knew thing that only one person can answer all these things and Right now he was in Oea town. He just have to wait one more day to know more about what exactly is happening in nature and crystal.

“Albert only Sir Nicolsan Loyal one keeper of all historical knowledge about our kind can answer our questions and he is in Oea because of some urgency.” Augustus said touching the crystal again.

“ Than we will leave early in the morning, After coming back from there we have to meet all those whom we can trust to execute a secret plan.” King Albert said to both of them in firm tone.

Augustus being Albert’s friend as well as court member of his court, He knows he's gonna do something sooner.

They left for their respective chambers to get some sleep.

****

In farmhouse Oea town, the Myrons were a little relaxed, as now they have Akira's custody. She’s now one of them Akira Myron. They promise with each other to try their best to save their only child with their life.

As a mother Mrs Myron taking care of her daughter which is still lifeless and pale. Sometimes she coughs blood or Vomits the liquid food out of her system. And she’s completely okay with it, for her she’s just a little girl who needs her mother by her side. With wet towel she cleans her and also change her diapers. Feed her food and medicines on time. She was asleep but still Mrs Myron talks to her trying to soothe her whenever she was tensed up in bed sweating heavily. She rubs her sweaty face repeatedly to clean her and make her look fresh.

She even decorate Akira’s room in farmhouse with flowers and scented candles to serene her anxious soul. As prescribed by Dr. Star, she gave her foot and hair massage therapy to ease her stress. Every night since she was unconscious she used to tell her bed time stories about worries, fairy tale story and story about her as well as royal family.

Her body is slowly returning to normal but Trauma caused by the execution of her loved once is still fresh in her mind. She was struggling hard to control her anger and Mrs Myron can easily feels it as in her unconscious state she used to call her Mibo (brother Milson) and her mother father as well as Riko. She indeed was a sweet loving girl and it’s tough or one can say impossible for her to accept the thing which happened in front of her, She can only possibly live in peace if she forgets all those horrible events.

Today is another day where Mrs Myrons waits for her little angel to wake up, it’s nearly evening and that little girl was again wet in sweat and her body was twisting and twitching unusually. There were sudden black marks on her right leg.

Mrs Myron ran outside to get Dr Star, as everyone else was in Artino mansion taking care of other things. The doctor was terrified to see her all twisted as If is doesn’t have bones but only flash and black mark on her leg seems like it was melting and spreading in her body. The weather had changed too, All of sudden Cyclone also started rising with storm. It seemed like Akira's body was conveying something valuable to the earth.

Being a good doctor Mr Star tried everything but failed in stabilizing her health, And anyway, can simple medicines win in over of power. It’s impossible to treat her with medicines, He was having a strange feeling at that time. Without thinking twice, he started exercising his powers on her tiny body. He knew it was dangerous but it was necessary to do it now. He mobilized all his strength to save Akira. There was a bright light in that room, brighter than before Akira's powers far stronger than expected. It seemed as if the powers of that little girl were absorbing the powers of the doctor which he usually use to nourish and nurture wounds.

Her body was back to normal but with a strong jolt his body slammed into the wall and he fainted.

“Ha...... Hel... Hello , please honey come back soon. I.....I need you here, Something strange happened and please ask Sir Nicolsan with you.” She called Mr Myron in said all of it in one breath anxiously in trembling voice. She some how manage to pick Doctor Star up from the floor and settled him in nearby sofa. She didn't know much but she checked the pulse of Dr Star. She was awfully disturbed and even forgot to disconnect the call.

“ What’s wrong, hello......hello honey, you sound scared, what’s wrong” Mr Myron asked in worried tone.

“ I don’t know, please come back soon” Mrs Myron said crying hysterically after few minutes realising that her husband was still on call asking her about the situation at home. She Disconnect the call after that.

While waiting she was checking both of them, Akira now sleeping sound in her bed but her leg seems odd. And doctor lying in sofa breathing heavily his forehead covers in sweat as if he was having a nightmare. She put a wet towel over his head which relax his body straight away.

After half an hour Mr Myron and Sir Nicolsan reached there. And saw Mrs Myron setting next to bed and doctor Star lying on sofa with wet towel on his forehead.

“What happened here.....??”Sir Nicolsan asked and Mr Myron looks towards his wife for answers.

She started telling all the things step by step, Then she also showed Akira's leg to explain what she’s talking about.

Sir Nicolsan was quiet and staring for the whole moment when he saw black mark was settling in her skin. He knew far much than anyone else and he was not sure whether to reveal it or not. He was thinking of and ask himself what if this mark spread and settle permanently in her body. No Artino’s is left except her what will happen in future. It is easy to kill her now when she was merely a small child but it’s impossible to kill her when she’s all empty and dark in her heart. He knew one thing that without taking risk, they or even prince himself will unable to stop the Master of Darkness.

We was their in front of everyone but his mind was off-track from the current situation.

“Sir Nicolsan what is it, Please speak up I want to know everything related to my daughter.” Mr Myron said, he look exhausted with messy hairs.

“It’s not the time, First we have to bring the doctor to consciousness. I have to talk to him first than will decide to what to do.” Sir Nicolsan said rubbing his temples, And he looked tensed.

“BUT........” before Mr Myron can say anything further, Mrs Myron stopped him and asked him to come with her to another room. Both of them force a tiny smile and left that room.

“I don’t think that Sir Nicolsan was going to reveal anything sooner. You remember honey Dr Star told us about a secret room of ARTINO’S mansion. You need to find that and gather important information of ARTINO’S history, we can’t risk our little girls life.” Mrs Myron said to her husband waiting for proper response.

“ Yes you are right, I will go there early in the morning And will try to find all the things that help us in unfolding truth. We can not let those things fall on our enemies hands.” Mr Myron said giving her meaningful look understanding what his wife told him was correct and essential for them.

Come on let’s go, I need to check on my daughter. As they stood near the door, Sir Nicholson is examining carefully the mark on Akira’s leg. That's when he called Augustus to confirm is theory.

“Hello, Saint Augustus. Sorry for disturbing you at this time, but it’s essential for me to know about something.” Said Sir Nicolsan in same serious Voice.

“It's fine. We are coming to Oea tomorrow, We wants to be for Thomas burial ceremony.” Saint Augustus said in same serious tone.

“Yes, Last rites are held in the evening. Is there anything you wants to talk about.” Sir Nicolsan asked, he can sense that for which he called him already happened in Sidon Ellipso.

“hmmm.... , There is something wrong with crystal it’s turning blur and cloudy and black crystal slightly melting. Can you advise why this is happening, Should we worry about it...?????” Saint Augustus asked again in low tone.

“It’s......., We’ll talk about it tomorrow onwards Augustus. We just need to be more cautious. Whatever happened didn't turn out well at all, And we are late in implementing as well as saving important living beings. Each of our decisions will affect future and this is the beginning of it. “Sir Nicolsan said in tensed voice.

“As always you know something no one knows, isn’t it Nicolsan.....????” Saint Augustus said hesitantly in probing manner.

“Hmmm..... Augustus you know me well, will meet you first don’t let anyone know what we’ve discussed today.” Sir Nicolsan said in low voice making Augustus cautious.

“Okay Nicolsan, Get some sleep. Good night Bye”. Augustus disconnect the call after wishing him good night.

What he doesn’t know that Sir Nicolsan can’t get any sleep, because he has to decide soon what to do next. First he needs to figure out what to tell Augustus and Myrons, And how to deal with situation, And in whose favour.
