Impossible

Kyle turned to the others, before asking….

“where is Levi?”

“He was just right here with us” replied Quince.

Bernice started to panic thinking what caught Levi was that creature with blood red eyes, while deep within Allegra’s mind she wished Levi was dead.

“We should head out to look for Levi or else Elena would think we conspired to murder her husband” said Quince.

“Or worse the supreme house would hold us guilty” added Gerald.

Even though Kings and Queens had absolute power, the supreme house was higher and it was all because of Levi.

When Levi became king, he had decided to look for people whose judgement were always fair so that they could tell the kings and queens where they were going wrong and if any case of unjustified murder they were subjected to capital punishment same as death.

King Levi supported this people strongly that was why they were this powerful, and also why Allegra could no longer kill on a whim.

Back in forest Levi was tied up with a kind of chain that was making him spill every truth he had in his head even the about the things he did during his youth and most of his debauchery, of course this creature didn’t expect him to be a saint he thought.

The creature with red eyes came towards him and gabbled what sounded like gibberish to him.

“I do not understand you” said Levi to the creature.

Then suddenly the creature switched and spoke…

“Do not worry I speak your language and by the way, my name is Magnus”.

“I told you my name not because I like you, but because you mortal creatures keep calling me red eyed creature even the mortal woman who shot me an arrow" said Magnus.

“I’m sorry about that and my name is….” Levi was saying, when Magnus cut in saying....

“I know your name already Levi”.

“So what are you?, and why have you picked my kingdom for your domain?” asked Levi to Magnus.

“I don’t need your kingdom, Master sent me to check on his descendant that is why I am here. About the deer I drank from, I just wanted to check my taste buds” said Magnus.

“Would you be kind enough to tell me whom this descendant is?” asked Levi to Magnus.

“Maybe some other time and besides I like you because you’re polite the others are just insolent not knowing it is an honor to speak to a top ranking demi god vampire as myself” said Magnus.

“Just take care of my master and you will be rewarded greatly. I need to go now your friends are almost here, until then” said Magnus, and just like that he vanished.

Allegra and the others found Levi so they rushed towards him, then Allegra handed him a bottle of water which Levi drank not caring if she had poisoned it because he was still feeling lost after what he just saw and heard, from that red eyed creature.

After the very eventful hunting, every one was back at the castle. Levi didn’t talk much, he just walked towards Elena and Agatha who were in the garden enjoying the weather all the while admiring Arishem as he slept.

“King Levi” greeted Agatha immediately she noticed him.

“Queen Agatha” greeted back Levi.

“How was your hunting today Love” asked Elena to her husband Levi.

“It was well dear” replied Levi to his wife Elena.

“I think I should go welcome the others from hunting”, said Agatha and with that she excused herself.

“You don’t look well” said Elena to Levi. Levi took hold of his wife’s hands and kissed them saying……

“no need to worry wife, I am just stressed out probably because of the hunting session”.

Elena gave him an understanding smile, then the both of them looked over at Arishem and Levi carried him gently so as not to wake him, then he whispered saying ..,…

“Papa’s home son” and as if on track Arishem awoke and stared at his father and mother then he smiled out of bliss.

Levi and Elena were surprised to see Arishem awake just after the whisper of his father but nevertheless they still watched him and after they saw him smile, they had a smile of their own full of happiness and the love for their child.

In king Quince’s room he was in deep thoughts after he came back from hunting.

His wife Agatha was asleep on the bed with their unborn baby.

He had a feeling that the creature they had seen today had something to do with the king’s son Arishem, he had known since the start that Arishem was not of this world and today’s strange event just confirmed that.

His head was muddled, so with that he decided to retire to bed before the time of dinner.

At the dining table of King Levi, all the Kings and Queens of the five kingdoms were having dinner while discussing about trivial matters.

“I guess there will be no lands to be gifted because of our very eventful hunting” said Allegra, while Agatha and Elena gave confused looks at their husbands.

“Yes there won’t be any land giftings today maybe some other time when we gather like this again we could make up for today” answered Levi.

“That would be in like two thousand years to come” joked Gerald.

“That’s true Gerald, we rarely gather like this” said Quince.

“And I’m afraid we’ll all have to go our separate ways tomorrow” said Priscilla.

“Farewell friends for tomorrow, there’s a new day ahead”, they all chorused and cheered to it with their glasses held high.

With that, dinner ended and they all returned to their respective chambers to surrender themselves to the irresistible temptation, sleep.

When everyone retired to bed, Allegra set out to inform her personal witch of what had happened today during hunting, and also to ask questions she had no answers to.

She took the secret underground pathway that led directly to the forest which no one knew about.

Quince had been trying to recall something when he finally remembered the mad words of his grand mother which she called prophecy , it always went like this….

‘the red eyed creature would come for him ‘celestial ruler of all existence’.

Could it be Arishem, and when he thought of the meaning of Arishem his mind screamed impossible!!! because the meaning matched the mad words of his grandmother.
