6 Castle Burn

Apollo takes Blizz, Arc, and Leduke to the Prominence Point the central of Salavan.

Apollo:"So please go more into detail about this attack and its commander" He walks with his hands behind his back, Salavain Soldiers surrounded him and the 3 Glacians So there's no sudden moves.

Leduke:"The commander of the the attack was Commander Heat, like we said" He glares, Apollo looks back while walking.

Apollo:"I don't have an recollection of a soldier by that name, nor was I told of such an order"

Blizz:"They didn't seem to to have the Glacian right of passage to enter Glacia, So how'd they cross the dividing canyon without taking the path?"

Apollo:"Very Curious, We have arrived"

They arrive at Prominence Point, Capital of Salavan, it was City with a giant castle in the center.

Blizz and Arc:"Woah, cool"

They head to the castle walking pass many Salavains, entering the castle they are met by a buff Tiger with a scar over his left eye in a tuxedo.

Enzo(End-zoe):"Welcome back Apollo, who are them?" He looks at 3 Glacians. Apollo dismissed the soldiers.

Blizz:"Who are you?" Enzo bows.

Enzo:"I am Enzo, butler of the royal family"

Apollo:"They wish to speak to the king, about an attack though I have knowledge of this"

Enzo gives a look for a bit, but then coughs.

Enzo:"Alright follow me" He heads into the main part of the castle, as the 4 follow him Apollo leaves to group.

Leduke:"Where's he going" he glared not sure of any of this. Blizz and Arc were just in pure shock of being the castle of another nation.

Enzo:"Here we are" He opens the door to the throne there sat the king, queen, and prince. All were Foxes

King Pyrus:"Enzo, Who are these.....Glacians"

He leered.

Queen Flambé:"One of the soldiers must've found these trespassers" She lays in her throne.

Arc:"Actually we came here to ask a few questions"

He said shyly. Enzo looks to him then the king and nods.

King Pyrus:"Very well, ask away"

Blizz:"Well we came here because one of our villages was attacked and almost completely destroyed by an attack from Salavain Soliders, we wanted to know why we were attacked"

King Pyrus sits up

King Pyrus:"We have no knowledge of this, why would we attack Glacia"

Leduke:"Well you did by a commander named Heat"

Enzo perks up and looks at Leduke.

Enzo:"First;Watch your tone, Second;You know Heat?"

Blizz:"He was the commander of the attack"

Enzo:"Heat was a friend of mine, I haven't seen him is quite awhile we had a falling out"

Leduke:"He's dead, he died trying to destroy one of our villages"

The prince wore shade and has had enough he erupted.

Prince Laval:"GRRRR FATHER DON'T LISTEN TO THESE FROSTARDS, THIS ALL A BIG LIE WHY SHOULD WE TRUST THEM??????!!!!!! LETS JUST KILL THEM NOW!!!!!!!"

Blizz and Arc step back, as Leduke glares back at the raging Prince.

King Pyrus:"Son, no we will not execute them for now it's late get some rest, Enzo take them to the guest room"

Enzo bows

Enzo:"Yes sire, come along"

As they Go the prince gives a look of disgust, we transition to Apollo who was traveling into the depth of the castle. He had a fireball in his palm heading down stairs

Apollo:"...If I don't know about this attack, I doubt the king will too, there's only one last reliable source for information, the Recorder the one who records all history or info in Salavan"

As he arrives at the bottom of there stairs and at the door to the recorder's chamber, a dragon with scales like Obsidian, horns that jetted up and in armor leaves the room.

Igneel:"Oh hello captain" he smiles.

Apollo:"Vice Captain Igneel, What are you doing here?" He squinted suspicious of Igneel.

Igneel:"Just checking on the Recorder, to make sure she's ok I must be going now, bye" He smirks walking up the stairs. Apollo opens the door and enters, the Recorder's chamber was a massive room of bookcases holding the history of all of Salavan the room was made of an alloy that could withstand almost any damage to keep the history safe.

Apollo:"Recorder are you here" he look around seeing a caldron in an wood burning oven seemingly making a soup dinner.

Recorder:"Yes Yes I'm here dearly" a kind small old cat lady in a robe walks out of her bedroom with a cane

Recorder:"My my good evening Captain Apollo"

She quivers as she makes herself dinner and sets it on a table, she made Apollo have a bowl. "Please have a seat"

Apollo sits and eats

Apollo:"Thank you ma'am, but I'm in urge need of information, oh this is good" He lightens up eating more.

Recorder:"Oh what is it? Also thank you"

Apollo:"Is there any info of an attack on Glacia a few days of ago?"

Recorder:"Oh!? My this is unexpected I was not aware of this, usually I am told before some happens and how it ends I have no info of this"

Apollo:"Then do you know of a man named Heat?"

The Recorder goes to the dictionary of all soldiers that have served Salavan.

Recorder:"Ah here we are Heat, it says he was a great soldiers but one day he was caught being a dirty soldier and was fired he apparently went into hiding"

Apollo:"When did this happen?" He was getting more and more curious.

Recorder:"A month before you joined the guard"

Apollo:"That's why, but why would the soldiers not have said anything"

Recorder places the book back

Recorder:"That I do not know, it's late please get some rest"

Apollo:"Thank you Recorder, have a good night"

Recorder:"Same to you"

As Apollo heads out he stops

Apollo:"May I ask what Igneel was doing here?"

The recorder paused and tells him something that makes his eye widen and leave in a hurry

In the guest room Blizz and Arc were sitting on beds.

Blizz was looking at the staff Pendras gave him before he died, and reminded how he killed a person

(See Chapter 3)

Arc:"Maybe Heat was just a rouge and somehow got troops to obey him"

Leduke looked serious.

Leduke:"No, they're hiding something it's because we forgot to mention the Hero's Relic, and that prince.....he was too fast to kill us on the spot"

He grabs his sword and heads out.

"I'm going to get answer, you two stay here"

Blizz:"But What if you get spotted and outnumbered?! I'm coming with!" Arc grabs his shoulder.

Arc:"Let him do this, Cousin has always been a lone soldier" Blizz sighs and agrees

Leduke:"Here" He gives Arc his necklace.

Leduke traverses the castle hiding from guards knowing he couldn't just take down all the guards, but as he head towards the prince's quarters there was no guards

Leduke:"What's going on?" The prince walks down the hall.

Prince Laval:"I've expecting you, but I'm disappointed that it's just you, I'm gonna get rid of you once and for all" the Fox roars "Glacians and any other race is nothing but trouble!"

Leduke:"I'm not one for hitting kids but you're going down brat!" He draws his broadsword.

Prince Laval sends a fireball at him, He uses his sword to block it and he jumps up sends a wave of ice spears.

Laval rolls to the side to dodge and fires lava rock hitting Leduke dead in the chest.

Leduke:"Argh, dame brat so you can fight"

Laval:"Die!" He sends a wave of molten lava.

Leduke chuckles

Leduke:"Hehe I knew royal blood had this much power and you're just a kid, well I'm strong too"

He glows at the walls freeze

Leduke:"Ice Age!!!!!!" He slams the ground making walls of repeatedly generating ice walls to stop the lava.

Laval:"Fool, just burn up and die!...WHAT!?" Leduke was running along the wall and jumps doing a downwards aerial slash, slicing the princes chest.

But in mid jump Laval shot molten rock spears that stabbed Leduke in the legs

Laval roars in pain, his HP was low and draining from the blood loss.

Laval:"If I'm gonna die so are you!"

He makes an orb in his hand and eats it and starts to inflate.

Leduke coughs up blood

Leduke:"He's gonna self destruct....I won't be able to escape with my injuries...I guess this my end...hehehe" He starts to cry

"Blizz you're a punk....but a good one, Arc....stay strong dear cousin and remember the memento I gave you.....and family I will always watch from above"

The prince detonates there's a ringing as from the outside view a side of the castle is consumed by a white hot explosion.

Blizz and Arc were chilling, the staff started to glow and absorb the necklace without anyone knowing, but when the explosion happened the guest room part of castle was starting to crack and fall off.

Blizz:"Ahhhh what's happening!!!"

Arc:"No Cousin! Don't be dead please!!!!"

As they fall, the people from the city stare up in horror, Azar was in the midst of the crowd.

Apollo:"What is going on!?"

He sees the the castle was missing a large chunk.

The guest room lands on the ground with a loud boom!!!!
