WORDS OF WEOSS

Stylx moved gradually into the cave as his name kept resounding on the walls due to the persistent calling of it by Weoss. He was scared because he knew that no one had seen Weoss and live, it was eithed the mystic lion was in its floating form or He speaks through intermediaries in order to pass His message across. As he approached the place where the name calling was coming from, he began to feel the heating effect of Weoss presence as he made to continue, he heard a voice that order him to stop, remove his sandals and proceed carefully in as Weoss hated the sound of footwears when in His presence as He felt the sounds were like impurities to His hearing. Stylx walked in carefully as he could hear the little rumbling sound of Weoss breathings. Then for the first time in his life, Stylx saw the figure of the Mystic Lion through the shadow it casted on the wall with its image, he knew best not to pry further in order to discover the full viee of Weoss as he knelt down, bowed his head and remained still. The shadow of the Mystic Lion was now upon him

Nephla was becoming uneasy as she paced round about the room where King Stylx had left him before walking out the door in a bizarre manner. What was really going on, she knew he was a typical example of a mood swing gury but this was kind of extreme. King Stylx had made sure that she knew little or nothing about the whole running and governing of Onyx, according to him he didn't want her being involved directly or indirectly with matters in the courtroom but as far as she was concerned, she wasn't happy about it. How would she be able to assist in case he needed her help, now if she had an idea of recent happenings, won't she be able to figure out what was wrong. She had been hearing discussion and rumours of some kind of supernatural attack and creatures among the palace workers each time they were going about their duties, she had resisted urges to ask them what it was all about knowing that it will be quite surprising that she being the queen had no idea of what was befalling Onyx. It wasn't her fault though as King Stylx had given strict orders that she should never be allowed near the courtroom or outside the palace fo any reason. He claimed he wasn't ready to mix up his family affairs with that of the city. Nephla knew that she initially agreed to this in submission to her husband's authority as the head and also as her king but now she wasn't going to accept this again. Her oaces round the room were now becoming quicker and more hurried as she was beginning to feel some form of anger in her. King Stylx was practically denying her of her freedom even though he thinks he is doing it in her best interest. Should she go to the courtroom? But what if she was caught? Well a little spying won't hurt anyone she thought to herself as she headed for the door. But wait she knew King Stylx could have made provisions to ensure that the order of her staying back in the royal quarters was maintained. What if she falls into the trap of one of these provisions.? She stood at a spot for sometime, have deep thoughts and concluded that she would be careful as not to be caught. After all it is only the person that was caught that can be questioned or interrogated. She made to open the door quietly.

The courtroom was getting heated up as the whole room was divided. The king was yet to ahow up and all the librarian could say is that they should simply wait for the king's final resolution and order in the mentioned case. The royal messenger still stood his ground of not going against the king's order by walking to the royal quarters in order to get him even as pressure was being mounted on him to do so. No one dared venture into the quarters except the messenger so much calls were made for him to make the move but he remained adamant and simply stood unconcerned. The eldest among the Eeries was having a hard time controlling the upsurging voices of those that were displeased with the king's attitude in a time like this. Some made moves of leaving the courtroom but the eldest Eeries ordered that the guards should shut the doors and deny anyone that wanted to leave that opportunity. According to him, he won't allow anyone disrespect the value and intergrity of the courtroom no matter whomever it was. This was greeted with loud shouts and mumurings in the entire courtroom. Most elites began to rain curses on the King even as those who never supported the idea of him ruling them. Soon a punch was dealt in the midst of the chaos and confusion. Apparently there were two divisions in the room, the king Stylx's party and those against Him. Retaliating punches were made as the room soon turned to a semi battle field. Soon the starlights soldiers walked in and after some holdings, whippings, pushing and cautioning, the sanity of the room was restored as many nursed their wounds both emotionally and physically.

"Welcome Stylx, I have been trying to arrange a meeting time with you ever since you became king, thankfully you are here now. Don't worry you can sit up as I would allow you to only see my back because if you were to see my face, you will surely die" Weoss said as His shadow was still upon Stylx who was now shivering for some unknown reasons. "My Lord, permit me to remaij in this way and hear your instructions, I won't want to disrespect you by casting a glance at you" Stylx said slowly as he maintained his gaze on the ground. "First lesson son, you should always learn to look up to He who is greater than you when it comes to hearing from him, I might be your master, king and Lord, I might possess all the powers in the Sunero but I am still a father. In as much as I am the fearsome Lion of Sunero, I still have a aoft spot for my people and would always let down my authority and supremacy because of them. Sorry that you can't see my face due to the fact that you are mortal but I want you to cast your glance at ny back and my shadow as I reveal things to you" Weoss said compassionately as Stylx slowly raised his pale face to behold the Mystic Lion's back and also the shadow that His being casted on the ground where he knelt. "Ruling Onyxis never going to be easy Stylx, not to mention the fact that you are still young and have never tasted the role of being a king. A lot of people are against you, they feel that yo don't have what it takes to rule them owing to the fact that your lineage is the weakest in the entire province but I want you to know that you have my support so if I be for you, nothing or no one can be against you and succeed so fear not for I am with thee" Weoss said as the cave illumination increased. "Thank you my leader, you are all I can ever ask for, since I have you, I am more than a conqueror already" Stylx said as he began to feel some form of strength after Weoss words. "Now mind you, you should not go against those that are against you but rather you are to carry them along with those who are loyal to you, it is up to you to win them over by proving yourself fit for that throne, ensure that you show them unequal love, rights and considerations. Now Onyx is like a light that will always attract all manner of things but always remember that light is always powerful than the darkness and as long as you remain in the light, you will always have upper hand over any form of darkness that may confront you or the city" Weoss said as Stylx nodded and bowed trice to the ground. "Now finally Stylx, I want you to always remember that whenever you feel weak, lack answers to questions or feel confused and uncertain about certain things, there is a well of inspirations that is around you, a spring formed by true love and feelings. Your backbone and inbuilt strength through which you can always be enriched, empowered and inspired. You are to ensure that you never sideline, underestimate or restrict the importance of the source as it will be the major factor for your successful ruling. Weoss said as He got up to leave " What or who is that my Lord?" Stylx said hurriedly as he noticed Weoss shadow leaving. "It is up to you to figure it out Stylx for it is always beside you. Just llisten to your heart and it will tell you who" the mystic Lion said as the last of His shadows was now leaving the cave. Stylx wanted to ask forward but noticed that he couldn't speak again. The eagles were now inside the cave as they now carried him out againat his will even though he struggled in vain to loosen their grip on him.
