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).LYTHRIDITEKing 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.NIGHTZussorender 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.

THE MOUNTAIN SOUL
It had already been decided—there was no turning back. If they wanted to leave this cursed mountain alive, they would have to go straight to its heart.Noah, Redrick, Ramsay, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, Camelia, and Kylie all drew their swords. The metallic rasp of steel echoed faintly in the room, like the mountain itself was listening.Tracy, with only her golden arrow remaining, gripped the two long knives strapped to her thighs. She flexed her fingers as though preparing herself for the close-quarters fight to come. Ragmus, broad and imposing, needed no weapon at all—his claws, his pointy tails, and raw strength were more dangerous than any blade. Still, they all knew what awaited them: the soul of the mountain, a living force that would not let them pass unchallenged.Before they set out, Mike crouched beside the unconscious Esther. Her breathing was steady, but she looked pale and fragile in the cold glow of the cavern. Mike brushed off the dust of Esther's hair
THE WAY OUT
The Sa’ers explained that their power no longer worked on Esther the way it once had. Her soul itself had blocked them from exerting full control. But that didn’t sever their bond—she was still linked to them, just as they were to her. The only change was that now, there were limits: only specific things could reach her, and putting her to sleep against her will happened to be one of them.When Esther suddenly fell to her knees, it wasn’t weakness or sudden pain—it was the Sa’ers forcing her into unconsciousness. They wanted to fulfill a promise: to show her what they had done in creating the new reality, and to reveal pieces of the old reality she had missed. For that, she had to be asleep.However, even while unconscious, Esther remained aware of her surroundings. She could feel the danger closing in on her family in the mountain. She refused to let anything happen to them. Twice, she shattered her connection with the Sa’ers to intervene in the fight, and twice she rejoined them to
FRUITS?
Noah, Ragmus, Redrick, Ramsay, Camelia, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Tracy, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie walked through the narrow passage into a hollowed chamber deep within the mountain. The air inside was cool and still, with a faint mineral tang, as though the mountain itself were holding its breath.Ragmus knew this place well. It was one of his hidden retreats, a room carved out of sight whenever he slipped away from the mountain’s watch. No one really understood how such rooms existed—whether they were part of the mountain’s body or something older buried inside it—but they were real enough.The room was bare except for a single leather bag in the corner. Whatever lay inside was unknown, but no one had asked questions yet. Without a word, they all sank to the ground, dropping their weapons to the ground- too exhausted from the constant climbing and fighting to care about the cold stone floor.Esther remained unconscious, her weight cradled carefully in Redrick’s arms even after he s
ESTHER AGAIN
The mountain could only watch as its minions fell one after another, their black ichor painting the ground. Noah’s wings cut through the air like a living shield, Ragmus’ tails shattered bones with every strike, and Ramsay’s blade moved so fast it blurred, severing Syrics’ heads as if they were made of paper. Redrick’s sword crushed skulls, Camelia’s twin swords cut through heads like a butcher, and Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie fought back-to-back, leaving no opening. Overhead, Tracy’s golden arrow wove in and out of the swarm, drilling through Syrics’ skulls before looping back for another strike.Whatever Esther had done to them, it was working. Their movements were sharper, faster, stronger—too much for the Syrics to handle. The mountain felt its control slipping. Rage trembled through the cavern walls."Enough!", the mountain decided, "If my minions can’t kill them, I’ll bury them all".With a guttural rumble, massive slabs of stone ripped free from the ce
ANCHOR OF SURVIVOR
The battle inside the mountain raged on without end, the air thick with the stench of blood and scorched stone. The Syrics hurled themselves forward in wave after wave, their speed climbing to a maddening level — yet still, they managed to land no decisive blow on their targets.Noah, Ragmus, Esther, Redrick, Ramsay, Camelia, Ryn, Lilia, Kinsley, Tracy, Benjamin, Mike, Hawk, and Kylie fought without pause, their movements a brutal rhythm of death. Mercy had no place here — each strike was meant to kill.Ragmus circled the others like a living fortress, his claws, teeth, and barbed tails severing heads with savage efficiency. Noah, wings half-unfurled, moved between swordplay and magic, every motion deadly, every burst of power carving through the enemy ranks. Ramsay’s blade-work was unmatched, his movements as precise as they were lethal, his own magic shielding allies alongside Noah.Tracy was the battlefield’s watchful eye, her golden arrow weaving and diving through the enemy swarm
WE GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT
As countless Syrics crawled down from above toward them, everyone saw Mike courageously step back into the middle, his sword unsheathed. His expression was that of a man fully prepared for what was coming.Upon reaching the center, Mike said bluntly, “Stop staring at the Syrics and gather around me.”It was almost as if his words carried an enchantment—everyone moved toward him without hesitation, forming a tight circle around him. Mike continued, his voice unwavering.“You all heard the mountain after it blocked the paths. It wants to kill us here. This is where it wants us—an arena of blood. Blood is what it wants, so we’re going to give it exactly that.”Then Mike turned to Ramsay and said to him, “We need more starlight surrounding the entire area. Our sight must be sharp, and we must see everything if we’re going to survive the Syrics. Vision and speed will be our lifeline".Everyone was taken aback—not just by what Mike said, but by the way he reacted the moment he saw the Syric
