CHAPTER 4 "Fire and Rain"

"I'm The Only Fire That Can Live In Rain"

I took my position with my hips backwards and hands in the air with my sword pointed towards me. Thick air was passing through the night... we ran at each other...The clashing of steel filled the air as we engaged in combat. The old man deftly parried every attack I had thrown in his way. He started thrusting his sword forward in quick movements as he danced around me. I thought of feinting a high attack and then quickly switched a to low attack. Unfortunately, he saw through my tactics and reacted quickly. The old man executed a riposte that left me lying on the ground...he was off guard then...with a deft move, I lunged at him in a determined counterattack.

The old man lost control of his sword...and the quick slicing of my sword through the air left his face with a new scar. The whole army started to run towards me after seeing that.

"Attention! Everyone! I will now introduce to you... Your 6th King, The Fire King... KING KARALOS!" the General announced. 

The General started to introduce from the left side "This is King Fotis, the King of Light...The 1st King. 

The 2nd King, The King of Strength, King Vis. 

The 3rd King, The King of Order, King Kosmas

The 4th King, The First Queen... The Queen of Golden, Queen Sidra.

The 5th King, The King of Fiery, King Serafim" 

"We all welcome you to the kingdom of Wardranet" All the kings and queens shouted as they stood up from their thrones.

I sat on my throne and became the one with fire. The Fire King...
