28 CHAPTER 28

"Alex is awake!" As soon as we heard those words, we immediately ran out of the classroom and ran like our lives depended on it. The light coming from the sun was now very dim and I was barely able to see where I was going.

The temperature lowered even more making the body hair raise. Something about today is not right. Alex waking up is a good thing but for that to happen during a blood moon, I don't think so. Something must've caused this and we must find out.

A blood moon is never a good sign as it signifies something bad coming. As soon as we got into the room, we were immediately blocked by Archean guards.

"Our apologies, the Captain ordered than no one must enter the room without his permission."

"Well I don't care what the Captain says." I said as I felt very agitated. Who the fuck does he think he is!?

"I'm sorry but I can't let you in-"

"Let them pass." Nate emerged from behind us. He looked paler and very sleepy.

"The Captain gave us order not to-"

"And I gave you orders to let them pass through. That or I'll drown you. I can easily deprive you with your water rations and you'll die easily" The Archean guards gulped, and they looked conflicted. Nate sounded scary to say the least.

Imagine being drowned, just the thought of it makes me shivers. A moment passed, and the guards let us through. Upon entering the room, Captain Elevi immediately saw us. He raised his spear and pointed it towards us.

"What is the meaning of this Nathaniel!? I gave strict orders!"

"And I don't acknowledge your orders as much as I respect you. The King tasked me to be the one to help Alex while we are in the academia so needless to say, in these grounds, I am superior than you. I don't need you stopping me right now because the Prince is physically awake but is mentally not and these heirs might know something about it. I'd rather have you stay quiet and do your job as a soldier, not as a parent." Our mouths hang open after what just happened.

Nate, I mean Nathaniel, the aid of Alex just retorted on the scariest captain there is. Nate started to walk ahead, and we immediately followed. The minute we arrived where Alexander was confined for about two weeks now was in chaos.

As we stepped in the room, the air was vibrating, and it was very prickly, it was hard to breathe and it felt like something bad was in the room. That was until I turned my head and saw Alex on the bed, eyes open and his hands were gripping the fabric of the bed that they started to tear apart.

"Your majesties, we do not know what is happening to the Prince, he woke up and started to be like that. We did every research we could as to what is happening to him but found no information." We all looked at Alex who looked like a machine that was malfunctioning. We jumped lightly when a series of lightning hit the academias' ground.

"That's not him." Hade appeared from behind us and walked immediately to where Alex was. Me and the others weren't able to say anything because truth be told, our mind is chaos. Hade looked at Nate as if asking for permission to which Nate agreed to give hesitantly.

A loud grumble of thunder sent the window glass to shatter and soon enough, chaotic wind was circulating in the room. Hade was about to approach Alex but another blast from outside sent all of us flying to the ground.

Soon enough a blaring siren was echoing throughout every corner. It was signal that every student should proceed to the main hall with precaution and in an orderly manner as danger is present within the academia.

Outside the room we are in, the students started to pile up in the hallways and no protocols were followed, the glass were already broken, and some shards plunged into the unfortunate bodies near them. Then another blast was felt that made the ground shake. The surrounding was now very dim making the situation worst. It all felt very apocalyptic that it felt and seem really scary.

We looked back to Alex who was griping the bed tightly as if he did not want to let go of it. The air was like electric on our skin and his presence was overwhelming us. We heard a zap and we turned to look at the headmaster looking at Alex with what seems to be fearful eyes.

"Follow me to the chambers, he must be stopped."

As he disappeared, Alex went along with him. I looked at those who were with me who was mute at the moment. This was really happening, Alex was key to the prophecy we were too blind to see and believe!

______________________________________

In the golden age of the empires ruled five kings who were friends with each other. Ruled over one land, all of the people lived in harmony and peace. What they needed where there and no one could even dare to ask for more, no one but Abigor, the ruler of war.

He stood on the throne with Leo the god of the greats. Guinevere, the mistress of magic. Raven the woman of mystique and Eroguar the lord of the skies. These people were the rulers of what originated the kingdoms divided by time and eons.

As much as how satisfied the other gods were, Abigor was very ambitious. He possessed a look that no one could compare to another, he had dark hair, dark eyes and a mysterious aura around him. He would seem to be quiet, but his words means life or death.

He was the youngest of them all and yet he was just as capable as them. The other gods made a treaty that their people should live together for the greater good of the land they ruled to which Abigor agreed upon.

He thought it was right for the people to live harmoniously but as the time went by he became somewhat bored at a sense. He looked down on the people from his pedestal. He saw that war was no longer evident and he thought that it deemed him worthless as he was the god of war.

He was supposed to lead people into war. He gave them the thirst of bloodlust, the feel of killing and the taste of victory. But with everything in order, he couldn't do that. He felt that his purpose was now lost, and he grew weary of everything.

He proposed to the other gods a friendly duel between groups that shall be held once every year, but the others refused.

They reasoned that it was not needed as everyone seemed content and that it would only open a chance of negativity in the land. Abigor sat on his pedestal gripping his chair so hard that it cracked.

His eyes burned bright red. Meanwhile the people on the land looked up on the pedestal that went through the sky. Each pedestal always glowed bright even in the morning but now, it struck them odd how the pedestal on the far left started to dim. The golden shade of ray that came from it started to disappear as if light was getting sucked out from it.

The Imperian (the people of the united land governed by the gods) started to gather around the pedestal in curiosity. They looked to what seemed as a never-ending pillar of light that was now losing its illumination.

Unaware of Abigor's anger, the went closer and just by then did lightning strike from the heavens and a loud voice of anger rang across the land. Those who were far deep in the mountains felt the ground tremble and a voice rang in their ears.

It sounded like the sound of death and before they knew what was happening, the shining sun was covered by the moon and red rays from the two bodies illuminated the land they were upon. It looked like everything was covered in blood and it was. Those who were hit by the lightning were killed on the spot.

Chaos started to spread from the heart and the brink of the united land. The Imperians felt the feeling they never thought they'd feel again. The feeling of fear.

An Imperian beneath the pedestal stood frozen under the bloody moon, every limb trembling and feet ice cold. He stood there looking at the people he spent his life with flat dead. The other pedestal suddenly went dim and went crumbling on the ground.

The once solid and unwavering pillars turned into gravel in the blink of an eye. He kept still amidst chaos. Four heads fell on the ground and his throat went dry, eyes went wide and veins blood dry. Rolled on the ground were the heads of the other gods that once stood unwavering and ruled over the land.

A shadow loomed over him and when he looked up, he came face to face with The Ruler of Wars in a form that made the hairs in his body raise and made his soul depart.

A serpent with fangs that dripped blood on the heads of the late gods. Abigor slithered closer to the boy and the smell of death coated his existence.

"You shall be the witness of my greatness and the witness of the demise of these stupid gods. Die and resurrect within the brink of an eon from now and I will still be there. Stand still when I face you then. When I claim these. Stand still."

The boy looked at his palm and what rested on them where the orbs that once belonged to the gods. The orbs that held the powers they had as the gods that ruled over the lands.

What he wondered was how did they get to him and why can't Abigor get them from him. He looked back to the serpent who slithered even closer.

"When I claim your body, only then will I be able to taste the demise of the land." A pair of fangs dug deep into his neck and he could only gasp for air as the pain splattered on his body like his own blood.

His veins felt being ripped out and his throat closed on him. He looked at the serpent who returned to his human form, bare naked. He looked like heaven yet felt like hell. Abigor kneeled down to look at the boy before speaking.

"Slumber will dawn upon you and morning in the brink of eon will await you. The power of the gods will lie with you but when you rise from the ocean of blue, I shall take you. The sky will be red bloody, and your body will feel like it was somebody's.

Then I will meet you in darkness and savor your body in the taste of hellish fetish. Alexander, son of the gods. My tongue shall roam over you and you shall squirm over me and thy powers will be set free as you will give them to me. That is your story."

Alexander cried silently as he looked at Abigor who moved his face towards his and kissed his throat where his Adam's apple lied and left him on the ground where he died.
