39 Chapter 30: We must prepare!!!

King: Cassan, let us (turning towards Eddy) have a moment for ourselves.

Cassan: Yes, my king. (Gave a deep bow before retreating out of the throne room)

Commands could be heard outside the throne room and heavy footsteps slowly reverberated into the distance.

Eddy: You called, my king?

King: I've told you many times, take the etiquette to where there is an audience. Just call me Aaron, like the old times.

Eddy: (relaxed, placed his hand on the adjacent shoulder and gave a bow) Yes, if Aaron the king commands.

Aaron: (amused) Haha, you always make conversations interesting.

Eddy: (a straight face {author: what do you expect? A gay face?!}) You must be eager for the news.

Aaron: Don't make me wait any longer.

Eddy: The team you had requested me to study seems normal...

Aaron: (his eyes turned wide as if a revelation had just unfold itself in front of him.) Was I wronged?

Eddy: Not quite, everyone seemed fine, except for the leader.

Aaron: (interjected) Ho...elaborate.

Eddy: Right, let's just describe him as unfathomable.

?: Who's unfathomable?

Aaron's eyes shot towards the origins of the sound. He scanned the shadowy figure as it stepped closer. The king, Aaron, sliding his hand like a snake, to grab a scroll of some sort, behind the throne. He pulled the scroll out and was ready to chant, darting his eye at every slight movement it made.

As the figure inched closer, it was apparent that he was no ordinary person, the scroll Aaron was holding is an SSSR rank scroll, some say it's on par with a legendary scroll but without a doubt it's one of a kind. Any ordinary being would be petrified by the scroll's aura, even the bravest soul would kneel before it.

The man has a wolf style silvery white hair that even the moon pales in comparison to its illumination, a pair of sharp bladed eyes that could tear through the mystical embodiment of a void. Millions of jam packed stars clusters in his bright shining eyes, only a fool would not see the terror that those eyes could bring. Sharp face and a perfectly muscular body, yet so simple, so ordinary. You wouldn't even notice a speck of difference in this man compared to other random stranger if you lack a keen eye.

Aaron had terror but Eddy gave a smile on the contrary.

Aaron: who-

Eddy: Speaking of the devil.

Aaron: (In complete shock) Wait, that's the leader?!

Emyrs: I presume you are talking about me, then yes. It matters not, I went to investigate the source of the problem.

Eddy: (spoke up instead) What did you find?

Emyrs: A floating hive of somesort, spewing out black goo that turns to demonic monsters that floats will walk the land, or seems so at least. I destroyed it so problems solved.

Aaron: (returned from shock) Are you talking about the demonic core?

Emyrs: If that's what you call it, then yeah.

Aaron: Those are the sources that create an infinite supply of demons through the infection of dark element that infest in the mind! It is said to be undestroyable, how did you destroy it?! (he was in disbelief yet almost believe every word the man said)

Emyrs: (teasing smile) We all have our own secrets.

Eddy: (mumble to himself) It's that same smile that hides a profound secrets...

Aaron: (literary going crazy) That's not the point! Demons are about to raid us again! With a higher strength from the demonic core, the demon king is bound to make a move.

Emyrs: But I destroyed it...

Aaron: (Starting to sweat balls {it's not what it sounds like!!!}) You don't understand, there are more than one in this world maybe even a dozen, I don't know?! What's sure is that once one becomes active, the rest would be active as well. The demon king, is sure to rise again! (a thundering blast) CASSON!!!

In but a few seconds, Casson came rushing in, he too, had a flowing river pre-made on his face.

Casson: (chugging air in his throat, as he is deprived of oxygen) You called my king?

Aaron: Go tell our allied nations that the demon king is going to rise once again!

Casson: Where did you get that information from?

Aaron: This man. (points at Emyrs)

Casson: But-

Aaron: just do as I said!

Casson: Do we need to tell the Kist kingdom? The have the best chance of-

Aaron: Are they our allies? NO, now scram!

Casson: (notices he has enraged a tiger {about time..}) Y-Yes!

The king hugged his own knees, shivering, no one better than he knew the consequences of the revival of a demonic core. The pain and suffering, long forgotten by his prosperous people. He terror and tragedy that was lost on people's mind, it was about to become reality; along with it, famine would rise once more.
