Chapter 3:  King Julius 

Julis castle is 5 stories, and his chamber resides on the 5th floor. Its takes them a little while before they reach Julius 

It's not not long before they reach king Julius' castle and reach his Royale chambers. 

"My lord" the guard says, we have Dark Knight Henry here, he wanted a word with you.

"The famous Knight of Demons…. Let him in." Julius tells the guard.

"Yey, my lord at once the guard says." He then signals for The Dark knight to enter. 

"I guess, that's my que." He says as he enters king Julius' Royale chambers. 

Among meeting the king. Henry goes to introduce himself, but is stopped by king Julius.

"Stop, there's no need for an interdiction for I already knowest of ye." Julius says to Henry as he stands up and walk towards Henry. "Your the legendary knight who was known to have slayed over a hundred giants and over 5 dragons. He says as he circles the knight. "The man who killed the demon witch that bounded ye with a demon. The demon and monster slayer, the unholy st. Dark Knight Henry"

Henry laughs my reputation follows me, Now let's just get straight to business then. I'm here because I'd heard your daughter was taken by the dragon Orak. I'm here to bring her back…. for a fee

Yey I figured as much Julius says to him. Yey ye has an impressive reputation. But does ye have the skill? Julius asks him. Hundreds of brave knights have tried to rescue my daughter,  but none never returned. For I sent 2 campaigns consisting of 1000 soldiers each. Not one soldier returned. 

Not only is Orak a Massive dragon,  but hast become a master of Draconian Magic as well; What makes you think ye shall rescue my daughter from such a monster as Orak?

 2 reasons, 1 because I have a sword that doesn't bend nor break and was forged to cut through anything.   Secondly he says as he grabs his gourd and begins to drink from it... because I have the demon of wrath he says as he smiles. 

King Julius stares at The Dark Knight for a brief second….. You know Knight of Demons,  for ye just may be the man for the job. He says as he turns his back to the Dark Knight and walks back to his throne. For If ye can return home with the princess,  then I will make ye a very rich man, I will give ye' 333 talents of gold.(17.5 tons) that's half of my annual income.

That sounds fine to me, now where do I find This dragon of wonders?

 Oraks castle lies on an island located in a lake of lava.

Lake of lava eh? Ha and here I thought it was going to be easy. The Dark says sarcastically. 

There's only one way to Orak's castle, to get there, ye must first travel to the valley of Battle/elah, then next ye must trench through the valley of Darkness/Death. 

Doesn't sound to bad, and I get to do a little traveling.  I'll tell you what king;  give me four days and I will have returned with the princess. 

Only four days king Julius says as he rubs his chin. Those are some pretty bold words I can only hope that you can live up to them knight of demons. Godspeed to ye Dark knight Henry, may the spirit guide ye on thys travels.

Thanks henri says as he turns around, a king wishing luck for a man of demons… isn't that a sight he says he walks out the room.

Yes Knight of demons for ye are quite right he says to henri as he exits. 

After leaving king Julius orders his men to leave and shut the doors to his chambers; once shut, he grabs his crystal ball

Orak Julius says talking to his crystal ball.....Orak! He says repeating himself this time yelling into the ball Orak! are you there? 

What is Julius, what is your reason for disturbed me? 

Apologizes all powerful Dragon of wonders, I was reaching out to you to inform you that you have a visitor on his way to come for my daughter, and j believe your going to enjoy this one. He says with a devilish grin.

Ahh,  is that so Orak says, for ye are to kind. Who is this special mortal?

For it is Dark Knight Henry, the legendary Knight of Demons. Julius says to Orak. 

Dark knight Henri. Humm, I believe I've heard of this human. Hes the mortal knight bonded with the Demon sin of Wrath done by one of the witch queens. He's also the wielder of the legendary Slayer sword as well! 

Slayer sword? Julius asks in a confused tone, what's that? He asks Orak.

Fool! Orak shouts. It's said that the Slayer sword was crafted from divine blacksmiths, in order for arch angels to slay even the mightiest monster or strongest Arch Demon. . Its said that the sword cant bend nor break, and never dulls. The sword also has the ability to absorb on coming magik, which can be stored and casted back at the opponent . Orak says to Julius. Excellent, I cant wait I'll crush his bones and eat him alive, ahaha

That's only if he survives his journey, I sent him through the valley of battle where the demon lion Rath dwells with his legion of 20,000 lion men. If he defeats them then he must then travel through the valley of death and slay the demon hond Rabdos., only then he can get to you Orak .

How cruel Julius, no man can survive that route alone, not even the best knight. Orak says 

I guess we will see Orak, but we both know that Sir Henry is no ordinary man, not to mention that sword he wields If his reputation precedes him, then it should be nothing. 

You better be right Julius, bOrak roars as he leaves from the crystal ball. 

It then cuts to back Dark Knight Henry, he's just exited the kingdom and in now on his way.
