King of the former dynasty

In the twilight of a fallen kingdom, where crowns crumble and shadows dance, a young prince ascends the throne. His coronation, a bitter symphony of loss, echoes through the marble halls. For the rebellion has painted the palace walls with blood, leaving no trace of kin but whispers of survival. And then there's Teri—the weaver child, half-ghost, half-mortal. His existence, a riddle etched in crimson threads.Born lifeless,buried alive, he clawed his way back from the abyss, the scarlet filaments clinging to his tiny fingers like secrets whispered by the earth itself. Teri's became the third ghostweaver in centuries. His mother, eyes wide with wonder and fear, cradled him in her arms, defying death's decree. The others fled, abandoning the babe and his spectral companions. The great general, Teri's father, defied the usurper king. In a hidden chamber, he revealed a box—an enigma of destiny. Three artifacts nestled within, each pulsing with purpose. "Find their owners," the general urged, entrusting the box to his daughter, Darlene. "Escape," he whispered to his wife, urging her to flee with their children. The constables hunted, but the family eluded their grasp. Days turned to weeks, and news of the great general's demise reached Teri's mother. Alone, penniless, she remarried—a fragile alliance that would soon shatter. Teri's stepfather despised the weaver's gift—the communion with ghosts. A poisoned pastry stole Teri's sight, but not his resolve. When his mother's screams pierced the night, Selena, his spectral sister, whispered the truth. Fury ignited within him, and the stepfather met his end. The mansion crumbled, and Teri fled with his sisters—Selena's ghost, Darlene, and Elley, the five-year-old. Now, seventeen,Teri try to find the box that was taken away. As the sun kisses distant horizons, Teri embarks on a quest: to find the rightful owners, to unravel the tapestry of fate or perhaps,just perhaps,to weave a new dynasty fromthe strands of the past.

The young master is mysterious

IN THE MORNING,BANDITS VILLAGE

It was a small place, hidden well in the mountain.men,women and their children lived there,they were all bandits.

It was ruled by the bandit lord.He had a left hand man and a right hand man.His right hand man was the one that stayed behind to protect him while the left hand man,who was Teri was sent on missions.

Teri will find out the financial status of a particular family,their residence and very information about them before they carry out their mission.

The others that followed Teri were already back. Teri came later.

Teri walked in through the gateway when suddenly.

"Teri!",elley, Teri's little sister,15 years of age jumped and ran to Teri.

She hugged him and frowned at him,"why didn't you wake me up last night to tag along.That's bad",she crossed her arms across her chest.

Teri pats her head,"you should sleep more, little sister".

She smacked his hand,"am not happy.youre taking me to the town's market today.But first,tell me about yesterday night.others were saying that it was too easy yesterday night".

She held his hand as they walked to their house.Their beds were bamboo beds and was not heavily covered with feathers inside a garments as of that of the nobles.

Teri's bed was beside the open window.He sat on the bed as his sister gave him a cup of water.

He collected the cup and drank from it,"thank you",he said after drinking.

"Tell me now!",she said excitedly as she sat beside him

"They were obedient to their young master.Those darn imbeciles actually thought that they could kill me",he smiled at her.

"They were not even able to come near me"he smirked.

She stood up and demonstrates,"who dares to touch the ghost weaver.Touch me and you will immediately be in hell because that's the only place you belong to".

He chuckled,"sit down".

"You dare tell the ghost weaver to sit?,you seek death!",she said and Teri dragged her back to sit down.

"But",Teri muttered.

"But what?",she asked.

"The young master", Selena's ghost, Teri's first elder sister said as she appeared beside Teri at his other side.

Teri heard her voice and smiled,"first elder sister is here,beside me".

She stood up,"oh...oh,welcome elder sister".

Selena,their first elder sister, was supposed to be 23 but she died when she was 11 so she is in the form of a 11 year old.she has been with Teri as a ghost since she died.From when he was able to see to when he became blind,all through the years.

"The one that brings smiles to our faces",she said with a smile.

"First elder sister said you bring smiles to our faces",Teri said with a smile.

"Of course,I bring smiles to everyone's faces,I am elley.and don't forget I can also be dangerous",she pouted.

"So,the young master",Teri continued,"something baffles me".

"What?",elley asked.

"It seems like he knows you",Selena said.

"Yes,it seems like he knows me.He asked if am Teri".

"Huh?,are we in danger?,is he from delmos kingdom?",elley asked curiously.

"No.i don't think so .I ran a background check.He's the second son of lord melvor.he was born here in ARILRIT kingdom.but I wonder what made him to ask if am Teri".

"He seems familiar but let's avoid him.I don't feel good about his knowledge of you.We've never met this person in our lives.From our father's land,delmos kingdom or throughout our journey,to this kingdom or even in this kingdom",Selena said concerningly.

"If he's dangerous,I will slit his throat and feed him to forest beasts and watch it from up the tree with a smile of satisfaction on my face",elley said with a frown.

"You shouldn't stain your pretty hands with blood.let big brother do that for you but only if he's dangerous",Teri said.

"What was elder sister opinion?",elley asked.

"She said is best if we avoid him",Teri said to elley.

IN THE MELVOR RESIDENCE

Lord melvor was back from the palace court.

Still dressed in his Ministerial outfit,he sat in his study after he summoned for the second young master,mizak.

"Father",mizak greeted as he entered his study and sat across his father's long table.

A servant brought two cups of tea and served them after taking a sip from it.

"What happened yesterday night with the badge of silver,mizak?".

"Bandits",mizak muttered.

Lord melvor sipped from his cup and dropped it back on the table,"The guards that escorted you said they were led by a demon,Is this true,mizak?".

"It wasn't a demon",mizak muttered.

"Then what was it?",lord melvor asked as he looked at mizak.

"Weaver.The ghost weaver.One of the guardians of the last king of the former dynasty of the delmos kingdom.

"Oh.what made you so sure that it's him.Years has passed.The last time anyone heard of the ghost weaver is when he was 8 years old.He might be dead",lord melvor sipped from his cup.

"Am sure,father.17 years ago in delmos kingdom,a boy was born in the great general residence but died soon after birth and was buried but soon after,the mother heard his cries underneath the ground and dug the box up.The boy was alive but his hair became silver and red threads were attached to his fingers.

There was an ancestor in their family who was also a ghost weaver.He was to enter the palace when he was of age and could have full control of his powers".

"Father,I saw him manifest his power yesterday night.Also he didn't have wings but he could fly and he was fast.His hair was silver but one thing I couldn't understand was his blindfold but am sure it's him.I felt it,father".

Lord melvor slammed the table with satisfaction,"good.make various paintings of him and distribute it everywhere in the kingdom.I'll send people from different parts of the kingdom to search for him".

Mizak looked away as he placed his elbow on the table and rested his face on his hand.

He remembered the ghost weaver appearance from last night and smiled,"There's no need for that father.I don't think the ghost weaver want to be found We might chase him away if we use that method".

Mizak stood up,"I'll find him with my own ways and I'll act alone.Thank you father",he bowed to him and walked out of the study room.
