Curtain

You fool! said Darticus to Archimedes. Archimedes still could not believe the betrayal that had happened to him. "I always wanted you behind bars, where I can see your face succumbed to sorrow" he said to him. Darticus came closer, the last thing that I wanted was to see your face triumph in honor, he said to him. Archimedes still could not utter a word. He was more troubled than the mountains burning than his own personal sorrow. " You think I would let you be free outside when you and that old dead man plot against the demise of our kingdom? asked Darticus. Archimedes knew that he could easily break out of here, if he wanted to. But he has come here in his own accordance and escaping would only make him a fugitive. A traitor? a murderer? a Fugitive? that was more than one cross to bear for him. Is my wife alive? he asked the king. At last you speak, said Darticus. " She is alive, but not for long" he said to Archimedes. The weight of your life would prove too costly for her, said Darticus. My uncle Zeno? asked Archimedes. The king laughed "I do not know if he is your uncle after all" I doubt if he is even a being or an animal, replied Darticus. King Darticus! roared Archimedes and the winds all collapsed together in the kingdom. The metals clanked together and the walls slanted as it came collapsing towards the king. Darticus was flown one side to another as he tried to get control of himself. After long, finally the apocalypse that dawned upon the king came to an end. He regained his composure and left the presence of the warrior. "Archimedes sat down and he was deciding what his next step would be!". Darticus had then told Alguran to keep watch over him. "The giant came and stood before the iron bars" much like he done guarded Plato a while ago. Well into the night Alguran spoke " I do not believe that you could have done such a terrible crime" said Alguran. I'm capable of very bad things my old friend, said Archimedes. Do not speak to me further, said Archimedes. Alguran had kept quiet there on after!

"Seronn was in a far away corner of the planet" where no one could be seen. He stood there in front of the craft in the plain old desert and wondered what it all meant. The stars above and the ground below and everything else in between. What would be his directive next? he thought as the desert storms picked up. "The mountains burn and Archimedes is in prison" this should be the end of my story, he concluded. As the sands swirled even further, his mind had started to play games. He looked up at the sky thinking that the dark lord was upon him. But there was no one. He could not stay still and do nothing. He needed to hunt, he was well aware of that. Killing and mystery was in his nature. " Stay here" whispered the desert to him. And do what? he asked the desert back. There was no reply. He wandered again in a rather distasteful manner. As the night grew longer, "Archimedes cannot be killed" but the others can be killed. Someone important perhaps, someone like the king himself!?. Yes, killing the king would be a ploy that would interest me. Seronn got in the craft and left the desert.

Wily, Myrdin and Zeno reached the kingdom and it was almost daylight by then. The three of them were happy to see them. Alex too was happy to see his siblings. Glad you are all alive! said Hana. Yes, we too are, replied Wily. Zeno still did not speak and maintained his silence. Glad you are back uncle, said Hera. He smiled at her and walked away. Reya was there and said it was time for her to leave. "Hope to see you soon" said Hana as she thank her yet again for saving them. Don't thank me, thank the dragon, she replied to Hana. Are they dead? asked Hana to Wily and Myrdin. Yes, they are dead, replied Myrdin. So were the others, said Myrdin. The others? asked Hana as she was confused by the words of Myrdin. Yes, the others. The soldiers who had followed us , he said. But they were not Marakese, he said with a slight confusion on his face. I could not see their faces clearly, but I do agree they were not Marakese, agreed Wily. It wasn't us who sent them, said Hana "They must be someone else" she said. They attacked them with equal furor and they stood up for us, said Myrdin. They even rushed past us and protected us, said Wily. I do not who they are, said Hana again. They are all dead, said Myrdin. Yes, they died in the hands of that witch, said Wily. If it was not for uncle Zeno, we would be dead too! said Wily. Do not talk such words, said Myrdin. Who must they be? wondered Hera!
