2022-12-15 00:04:46The bird returned to Zussorader and stood on his hand. Zussorader looked into the eyes of the bird and saw all that the bird has seen and heard.
Zussorader smiled and said to the bird ''you have done a great job my dear'', then he kissed the bird. Zussorader faced the mercenaries and said to them ''the bird has located where the mind crystal will be because that is where the light army is guarding which means that is where the mind crystal will be. We will be going into Lythridite and finding a way to infiltrate the palace, and in that meantime I want everyone should be on their best behavior. No one should act without any order from me or Philip. Sooner or later we will be facing the light army, don't underestimate them they are more powerful than what you see and can only be killed in the heart. Is that clear?''. ''Yes'' said the mercenaries (in union). LYTHRIDITE King James continued ''then the five crystals were given to each kingdom to protect and Marcelos was put to an eternal sleep. The reason why I told you all of this is because you have come of age to know about all this, and every royal blood in each kingdom knows about this story even the wizards. And again you will be my successor one day'' said King James. ''Thanks for trusting me father'' said Princess Tracy with a smile. ''You are the only daughter and child I have, if I don't believe in you or trust you, my princess, then who should I trust then'' said King James with a smile. ''Thank you, Father. There is something I need to ask you father'' said princess Tracy. ''What that?'' asked King James. ''Who are those guards that are outside, have never seen them before and they look different to the other guards'' said princess Tracy. King James smiled and said '' that is why I love you, you never let anything get past you. They are no guards they are called the Light army''. ''I heard you mentioning them before'' said princess Tracy. ''Yes. They were created by King Hope from a powerful stone which was created by King Hope and the wizards of then, but the stone now lies in a crystal and is called the light crystal. They were once human like us before they volunteer to be made immortal so they can protect the kingdoms against evil forces that may rise against the kingdoms'' said King James. ''How old do you think they are?'' asked princess Tracy. ''I have no idea, but they are very old. Back then, before the reign of King Damon, the light army can only be seen in Axrax because that is where the first king reside, but after Marcelos was defeated and the five crystals were given to the four Kingdoms. King Damon commanded five light army soldiers to each kingdom to guard and protect the crystal from falling into the hands of evil. One more thing, the light army can only be controlled and commanded by the king of Axrax'' said King James. ''Why can the light army only be controlled and commanded by the kings of Axrax, not other kings?'' asked princess Tracy. ''The kings of Axrax are from the bloodline of magic, magic runs in their blood just like their forefather King Hope but other kings don't, that's why we also call them the great king. After the light army was created, King Hope created a ring and link it to the soul of the light army, and whosoever wore the ring will have control over the light army, they will also be linked to the light army and the ring has been passed down through generations. If you were to wear the ring, you must have magic or else you will be enslaved by the ring'' said King James. ''So everything with power has a negative and positive side'' said princess Tracy. ''I guess so. That will be enough for today, let's return" said King James. NIGHT Zussorender and the two royal princes got to Zussorender's house, and they all came down from the wagon. The two royal princes were confused and surprised upon seeing Zussorender's house, a small house. ''How come you live in this kind house, master?'' Noah asked Zussorender as Zussorender was busy packing his things from the wagon. ''Get your things and meet me inside now'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes and made his way in. The two royal princes entered the Zussorender's house with their belongings and saw Zussorender, his wife (Lythia), and a 9-year-old kid (Gabriel) sited at the dining table. ''Show them their room so they can drop their belongings and don't take their belongings from them'' said Zussorender to his wife. ''Drop your things and come back to eat'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes. Lythia stood up and said to the two royal princes ''follow me'', then they followed her. The two royal princes returned to the dining table and met Zussorender and his family waiting for their return so they could all eat. The two royal princes sat down and were served food. As they were all eating, Lythia asked the two prince ''am sorry to ask this, what are your names?''. ''Why sorry, we will gladly tell you our name. we are the princes of Axrax'' said Noah. ''I know you both are the prince of Axrax'' said Lythia. ''Okay. My name is Noah and my brother's name is Ramsay'' said Noah. ''Master sorry to ask this, you are the wizard of Axrax which makes you the greatest wizard of all wizards, but I don't get why you will be living in this place and this small house'' said Noah to Zussorender. Zussorender and Lythia looked at each other, then Zussorender looked at Noah and said to the two royal princes ''First lesson boys, don't ask questions from strangers''. ''But you are not a stranger, you are our master'' said Noah. ''Then don't ask me a question that doesn't relate to your training'' said Zussorender (annoyed). ''there is something I need to ask master'' said Ramsay to Zussorender. ''What's that I hope it relates to your training'' said Zussorender. ''Ever since we arrived in your home, I haven't seen anyone that comes in or out. I thought wizards teach someone with the magical power to become wizards like them, but I haven't seen any apprentice of yours around or do you send them on an errand'' said Ramsay. ''I don't have any apprentice and no more questions'' said Zussorender (now angry). ''But....'' said Noah. Noah was cut short of words as Zussorender cut in ''dinner is over'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes. ''But we are not done eating'' said Noah. Zussorender made the two royal princes' food rotten with his magic and said ''now you are done eating, go to your room''. The two royal princes couldn't say anything but looked at Zussorender like someone crazy. ''Come your highnesses'' said Lythia to the two royal princes. ''This is my home, your title, and power do not exist here, and Lythia you shall address them by their name'' said Zussorender, then the two princes followed Lythia. King of James of Lythridite sent a letter to King Raynold saying that he will like his permission to raise more army and improve the standard of the armies. Zussorader, Philip, and the mercenaries entered Lythridite dressed as merchants, Zussorader changed his staff to just an ordinary stick. They began to live in Lythridite as a merchant who sells drugs and clothing, at the same time getting information about Lythridite's palace. Zussorader also sent the bird to get a clear view of everything and the security of the palace.

CAN SHE BE?
Esther tightened her grip on the sword, the crystal’s light faintly reflecting off its blade. Across from her, the conjured lady stood poised, calm and confident, her stance unshakable. The chamber seemed to shrink around them, the air thick with tension, as if the walls themselves were holding their breath.The lady struck first, lunging with a speed that made the air hiss. Esther barely parried in time, feeling the shock of the blow vibrate through her arms. Each swing of the conjured lady sword was precise, deadly, and designed to test her skill, not merely to kill.Esther countered, stepping lightly, her movements fluid despite the lack of magic. Every clash of steel sent sparks flying, illuminating the fear and determination in the eyes of her friends watching from behind. They could only observe, powerless to interfere, and the crystal had sealed off magic.The conjured lady pressed the attack, forcing Esther backward, testing her reflexes, her timing, and her will. Esther’s str
THE TRIAL OF THE CHOSEN ONE II
All of them could not believe what they had just heard. It sounded like their ears were having a fault, which made Hawk ask Esther to confirm if they all heard him right. He said, "Did you just say that any one of us could be the chosen one?".However, it was Ramsay who answered, "Yes. Esther is right. I being the Great King doesn’t make me the chosen one. The power inside the crystal was not made for royal blood, but for the chosen one. It was meant for whoever the crystal itself chooses.""And how did both of you suddenly know that, after we all believed that only Ramsay could be the chosen one?" asked Kylie, looking at both Ramsay and Esther.It was also the way the others were looking at them, which meant one of them had to reply. Esther said, "It became obvious. There’s no way the chosen one would have to go through so much to get to the crystal. The crystal wouldn’t make the one it has chosen fail multiple times as a test to reach it.""So you’re saying there was no test?", aske
THE DOUBT WITHIN
After breakfast that morning, the group gathered to discuss what had happened. The conversation quickly turned to Ramsay’s fight with the figure — and more specifically, what had caused his skill to fall apart during the battle.Ramsay, however, could not tell them the truth about his sword. He had to keep that secret buried. So instead, he told them a lie. He said his faltering had nothing to do with his skills — that the figure was simply stronger, faster, and far beyond his expectations.The others weren’t convinced. Only Esther and Dah remained silent, while the rest questioned his words openly. They reminded Ramsay that they had all seen him fight five of those same figures — and he had defeated them with skill that seemed almost divine. Yet against a single opponent, he had struggled and barely survived. They wanted to know why.Ramsay held his ground. He said coolly, “Maybe it’s because you weren’t the ones fighting it. That figure carried the strength of the five combined — ma
THE CHOSEN ONE TRAIL
Esther was confused by the sword soul’s words. She couldn’t understand why it had said that the power within the Light Crystal did not belong to Ramsay. The very idea felt absurd to her — Ramsay was the Great King, the only person capable of defeating the magical beings guarding the path to the crystal. That alone proved he was meant for it.But Ramsay’s reaction was completely different from hers. Instead of anger or disbelief, he suddenly burst into laughter. Both Esther and the sword soul turned toward him, puzzled. Nothing was amusing about what the soul had just said, yet Ramsay laughed freely, his voice echoing through the vast, silent chamber.They let him laugh until he finally calmed down. Then Esther, still uncertain, asked him what was so funny. Ramsay replied with a grin, still half-laughing, “Don’t tell me you actually believe what he said?”.Esther gave him a questioning look, silently asking why she shouldn’t. Ramsay straightened, his tone turning sharp as he said, “Bec
THE SOUL HOME
Esther tried to understand what was wrong with the sword, but all her efforts were in vain. She could still feel the soul within it and called out to it again and again — yet no matter what she did, the sword gave no response.She tried to draw the soul into the mortal world, but it refused to appear. The sword remained silent. Even when she attempted to reach into its subconscious, there was nothing — only an empty stillness.Esther couldn’t help but wonder what had happened to it. Why had the sword gone completely silent? Why had it chosen not to answer either her or Ramsay, even though they could both still sense its presence?There was nothing more she could do. But before giving up entirely, Esther decided to try one last thing — to go to Ramsay.It felt like electricity surging through his body, and then Ramsay opened his eyes to find himself in a place he never could have imagined.Ramsay was seated on his father’s chair, in front of the great table surrounded by chairs. Ramsay
THE SILENCE OF THE SWORD II
It didn’t go as Ramsay had planned. He’d intended to end the fight using the skills he’d learned while the sword’s soul had been in control — the flawless rhythm, the effortless precision, the way his body had once moved like the sword itself.However, without the soul guiding him, Ramsay couldn’t replicate that flow. He fell short — and that wasn’t his only problem.Ramsay's defenses began to crumble. The dark figure’s speed suddenly increased, its strikes sharper, heavier, and far more calculated than before. Ramsay could barely keep up.Then came the hit — a brutal left fist to his face. The blow sent blood spraying from his mouth, a tooth flying, his nose cracking under the force. Pain exploded through his head, and for the first time, Ramsay truly understood: the strength behind that punch wasn’t ordinary.The figure’s power… was the combined might of all five men he had already defeated.Ramsay now knew what he had to do. It wasn’t enough to just avoid and block the figure’s swo
