90 days

The next morning was unexpectedly busy, earlier Urien had a meeting with the council and they had given their full support for Razar and Herdis to go in search of the chronicles of the dead, Urien and the council had just finished the meeting with the towns people, although it was hard to convince them at first but the fear of having to suffer another years of starvation and famine, got to them. After Queen Marquince death the people of Olcia had to suffer for years, many had lost their lives due to starvation, the rate of stealing increased and the rate of sickness increased because of malnourishment and the intake of unhealthy food. The past eight months after the King decided to make changes has been fruitful but eight months isn't enough to cover up for the lost years, the fear of having to starve and fall sick made the people to agree to Razar and Herdis's journey.

Although they were some people who had issues with the idea but Urien had given them his reassurance that once the chronicles of the dead was found the law against the practice of resurrection would be abolished and the people would be able to revive their dead relatives. This idea 💡 moved the people so they decided to give their support on letting the chronicles of the dead.

The meeting was concluded and Urien had inform Darloc to supervise the arrangement of everything that would be needed for the journey.

Six horses were arranged for Razar, Herdis, Darloc, Gryuh, Nelkhain and Buohlk.

Two horses and a giant carriage were arranged for Orlax and Cerxes. Orlax was a chef and Cerxes was farmer the carriage contained dried fruits, rice liquor, fresh grape wine, oil, flour, salt, grains, wheat, corn, and barrels of blood enough to last for 100 days. The carriage also contained cook wares for cooking and utensils.

While Darloc was busy with his supervision, Urien excused himself to the King's room, there he met Tyrian and King Hysander in the wide veranda, that gave them a beautiful site of the garden that was beneath.

The King's room was made with fine marble throughout, the room was decorated with fine blood red robes,his king sized bed was laid with black sheets, that had the name RYONVIG boldly written on it, the furnitures were made of fresh Mahogany wood. The veranda and the room were divided with white curtain.

Urien made his way to the King and Tyrian, to join in the conversation.

"Good day Lord Hysander, and doctor Tyrian", Urien greeted.

"Good day, Urien, how was the meeting", Hysander asked.

Urien replied, "The meeting with the council went well my Lord, the council also assisted me to inform the people about the journey and Darloc us supervising the arrangements made for the journey, I wanted to know if there was any progress with the Kagfenite crystal".

Instead of the King this time around Tyrian replied, "Well that's what I was about to inform the King before you stepped in, actually there has been progress on my research about the Kagfenite, the person has to be alive before being placed on the grave, and at the rate at which the princess's body is weakening she might not live to the. day after tomorrow, and we don't have time, so I suggest we do it today, My Lord".

"That's alright with me Tyrian, go and make arrangements of everything you need I and Urien will meet you at the garden", Hysander replied sadly.

As soon as Tyrian left, the King made his way to the study table and sat on the chair, letters from Queen Marquince and paintings of the Queen were scattered on the table. Urien made his way to the other chair and sat down directly opposite the King. When Urien saw the letters and paintings he said.

"Your at this again Hysander, you need to stop beating yourself up about this, it had too happen, she shouldn't have gone there and she shouldn't have seen. it".

"You know she loved me a lot, she waiting patiently for me when I was years ago, she almost killed herself thinking I was dead, and you sit here telling me to my face that it had to happen, you know I never wanted this I just wanted a simple and happy life", Hysander blurted out in pain.

"No one wanted this, I didn't want all this too happen, but I accepted my destiny and embraced my fate years ago, and you need to do same, this was why we were born, I was born to assist you while you rule Olcia, so you need to accept your fate or else we would all be doomed",. Urien said in anger.

"I don't know what I am anymore, Urien, an so confused", Hysander said sadly.

"This environment has affected you too much, my Lord but you need to always remind yourself who you truly are, you are LORD RYONVIG, ruler of Olcia, commander of the darkest army, and the controller of Tri-Ghy, get yourself ready we need to leave for the garden, Tyrian must be waiting for us". Urien lashed out .

"How many days do you think the Kagfenite would give Azrath". Hysander questioned.

Urien replied, "90 days".

"Do you think so",. Hysander asked.

"I don't think so I know so", Urien replied while standing making his way to the door,and Hysander follows.
