Chapter forty seven

weeks later

Since zila left the palace the king and muzak has grown fond of each other, they were always seen discussing and eating or drinking. Jazzer wasn't really happy about this but the king was just being a father to his son so no one complained. They got to hold more discussion than usual although the king kept few boundaries he didn't mind Muzak crossing it.

Camp

Zila decided to go for a stroll around town and today he went to the market side he was strolling when he saw a familiar figure, zila turned to see Bianca who was selecting some meat from the butcher's table. Zila was very surprised at first and it later changed to angry "I will surely punish you." he said to himself as he strolled towards her but was stopped by zike who just arrived "your highness."

"What is it?."

"Your presence is requested."

"Not now."

"My prince is urgent they have been an emergency at the camp."

Zila pondered for a while he looked at Bianca and back at zike before choosing to leave he turned around to see Bianca was now talking to a young man and this aggregated him "Go on zike I'll join you soon."

"alright my prince." zike said as he left. Zila watched Bianca and the young man who spoke to her smiling brightly.

"What are you doing here?." mark asked as he was to see Bianca at the market place today since the News of her courting Fred became known Bianca was hardly seen.

"Oh mark umm I came to get some things."

"Ahh that's nice how have you been?."

"I'm very well and you?."

"never the better dear you barely come to see my father anymore he really asks about you."

"I've been really busy lately."

"I understand but could you at least make out time to do so."

"I'm not sure mark I've moved out from the house."

"Oh I heard but the new house isn't that far now is it?."

"I don't live in the new house either."

"Oh is that so, where do you live now?."

"I stay with grandma now."

"Oh ok ...I-."

"Mark I think I have to leave now grandma might be worried about me and I wouldn't want to make her worry."

"Oh it ok bye then lady Bianca we will see again."

"hm." Bianca said as she made her way out, zila followed her silently until he found where she stayed once he saw her enter the door he turned and left to the camp base, once he arrived he saw the whole place looking scattered, at the camp the air looked jammed with a scene of urgency.

"What's going on?." zila asked one solider who was passing by with a box filled with silver powder.

"the wolf has attacked the west region from lekon down to the hedge portal and down to the village that we had supplied grocery last season."

"That's strange..."

"indeed my prince the wolves are aiming at something."

"it fine you may leave." the solider bowed and left, zila thought about it as it seemed rather strange "What are the wolves planning?." soon before noon the king was informed and a royal seal was sent to them from the palace it stated that "it's very sad to hear of this news. general commander, I expected so much more from you, spread out your solider to every region and ensure the wolves get no entrance and subdued them if come what may." the commander read it to the soliders and the king orders where followed, that day lots of soliders were sent to different base camps that was close to the attacked region and zila happened to be one of them, he was sent to guard one of the region with few other members to ensure they don't get invaded again. The soliders camped there for days and one night they were attacked. It was late at night when the soliders return to there camp nest. Tonight, zila and few others will be guarding the night, they stayed up watching the area while the rest went to sleep.

"Check the rouge borders while I, Timothy and McVeigh go towards that way." one of the solider order Zilla,zike and another guy.

"Alright." they all spread out as they guarded each part of the forest these has been all they did through out this week, tonight they felt it was going to be the same so they all decided to take a rest since it seemed that the wolves were just playing tag and run. Zila kept working around scrutinizing the place with the help of zike, they went past the border line as they checked each and every suspicious place.

"I think we should head back my prince." Zike offered as they were a bit far from there stationed camp.

"I don't know why I have a strange feeling tonight." zila said as he checked one last time.

"Why is that my prince? it's been days I don't think they will return." the solider who was teamed up with the prince and zike said.

"hmm alright let's head back." Zila said as they turned back to leave but suddenly zila heard a voice from within "They are coming." Zila stopped walking "What is it my prince?."

"I heard something did you?." the place became quiet as they both listened but zike said "I don't hear anything." Zila knew who had spoken within him and he knew it was the demons but apart from that he had picked up sounds from a distance. "Let head back to inform the rest they are coming." Zila said as he ran swiftly zike on the other hand was confused as he didn't see or hear anything. they went straight to the camp and tried to announce to the soldiers but most of them just laughed it off, they thought it was just a prank

"Oh please My prince haven't you caused enough problems at home that caused your punishment do not attracted extra punishment." said one of the guard who was dusting his shoes.

"don't speak to the prince that way." zike reprimanded.

"Here there isn't any rank apart from the commander, so do well to shut up I know how spoilt the prince must be and I'm sure he would be the first to die if danger was to approach that why you were assigned to protect such weakling."

zike charged towards the solider but was stopped by zila "it's ok you don't have to answer to them when the time comes they will all regret it come let find a safe spot to fight."

The soliders laughed "poor prince was sent to his first real battle."

"HAHA he looks so fragile you know and too pale."

"I bet he can't even swing a sword."

"swing? I bet he can't pull a sword hahaha." another rage of laughter was heard. zila and zike who had gotten to a point could still hear there laughter

"I'm sorry my prince."

"It's ok I do not mind it a bit, they are just silly humans if only they had any idea."

"So where do we stay to attack?."

"we stay above that tree above from there we can see the whole region we ain't and watch." and so they did they remained on the tree for hours zila began to wonder if he had heard wrongly and he could also hear the soliders saying mean things as they saw no sign of threat zila gave up as he said to his men "let's head back down."

"are you sure my prince?." zike asked

"hmm." they began to get down from the tree when they heard a suddenly bolt strike at the camp the heard screams as most of the soliders where hit by the massive blast and wolf snarls accompanied the attacked, they were screams and cries for help as lot of men were left injured in the bolt attack.

"They are here!!." they was a loud shout, zila looked towards zike and said "Are you prepared?."

"Yes my prince." zike said with high admiration for his prince. Down below a lot of soliders where slashed by the wolves who invaded the camp, zila and zike took charge as they began to fire arrows at the wolves, these arrows where made of silver so it easily pierced and killed the wolves giving the soliders and edge to prepare for battle. The wolves became alert as they had lost most of there men the leader sighted where the attack was coming from and immediately gave sign to the others to go kill who it was, zila was quick to understand what was being told and he immediately grabbed zike and they fell off the tree at the same time a whooshing sound past the tree cutting it in half, once zila and zike landed on the floor they flipped twice before they began to run, all the other soliders began to fight back protecting the prince who was the major person killing the wolves soon after Zila's arrows got finished so he drew his sword and slashed every and any threat that came forward. They battle for long, dawn began to emerge seeing this the wolves had to retreat and the victory belonged to the soliders and one of the wolf was caught and locked up where he was tortured. This was a big victory for them and they decide to celebrate they drank through out the afternoon as they sent the report of there victory to the palace in the morning and once evening came they all retired to their main camp, when they arrive all those who had spoken ill about the prince bowed their head in shame as the prince had saved them all. Once zila got back he felt so restless so he decided to go visit a disobedient lad.
