Story of Chancia 1.5

"Enough!"

The king boomed, which made Aadrika flinch and Gale to go silent. The hall again filled with a heavy tension, which could easily be cut with a knife. But king's voice changed this tension into fear as he said: "Make both traitors pay for the invasion."

Everyone was stunned by the king's sudden reaction. The queen, the royals, the people and even princes and princesses too were in shock. They wanted Aadrika to die, not Gale. But King's word made them think otherwise, which was shocking for anyone as they still considered him as one of them. Commander, just to confirm his doubt, in a very low voice, being careful of king's situation, asked "B-but my lord-" Before he could finish his sentence, king's cold glare made him nod in approval. He said, "Guards, kill both the traitors."

Hearing this queen cried "NO! Please, please king you can't do this, please, he is your son..." King made a scowling face and said, "If he would have been my son then he would have given up on that corrupted dark being."

Gale looked at them in pure disgust and said: "You are no better than living animal. I thought you as a great king but you are nothing better than a pirate." This made queen leak more tears and she fell on her knees for pleading the king. The king sat back on the Thrown and he looked at guards and nodded. At his approval guards begin to move.

There, the guards encircled Gale. He looked at Aadrika which was still on the floor, but this time her eyes were having the worry of her brother. He passed her a cheeky smile again, first Aadrika tried to smile but soon her face become more worried. At this Gale sensed a guard coming to him from the back with his sword ready to pierce through him. But he dodged it and looked at Aadrika and give her smile again like he used to do before during their practice. Even this time Aadrika was worried for Gale like those times at practice. He was given back a small approving smile from Aadrika. He smiled at the thought of Aadrika being small and their happy moments together. This made him more determined to set her free from all this.

He took out his magic swords which were made of sharp air. Some guards approached him, he, with one swing made two of them fall on the ground and with another swing made three of them to fly through the hall and hit the wall. He continues to fight. But the guards started towards Aadrika.

Gale noticed this and with his full force of air, he created a wall around Aadrika to keep her safe. This made Myra and Ximena join the fight as they started to attack shield in order to make it weak. And being attacked by such powerful spells the weakening in air-shield, weekend Gale's powers.

Myra smiled to herself and used her night fury (most powerful beam attack) on the shield, which made the shield weak to its very limit of breaking. Gale knew that if the shield got broke he wouldn't be able to save Aadrika even if he tries his hardest. So, he thought the best. He radiated air out of his body which made the guards, which were surrounding him, to fall back.

He stood straight and chanted "Pravaham shaktim" With that his airpower gets collected in an energy ball. It left his body and entered in the shield.

Using the opportunity a guard holds his sword on Gale's throat and that made him froze to his place. At this whole hall went quiet and everyone started to watch him. There was much quietness then in the emptiness itself. Everything seemed to happen in very slow motion for Aadrika. She looked at his brother. He passed her a small smile, a parting smile...
