A Dangerous mind

Seronn had not slept for days , he wandered around his spaceship like a ghost at night. The thought of Archimedes shooting a bullet right through his skull has kept him awake all these nights. And if anyone asked him why he was so restless, he would simply respond with "The thought of my parents have been keeping me awake", which clearly was a lie and everyone knew it. Sifon the elder finally approached him " What is troubling you" he asked the commander of the spaceship. And Seronn knew that any lie of his would eventually be caught by the elder, so he was very careful with his answer. It is nothing Sifon, the thought of death of mine and the ones before me haunt me , and they keep me awake, Seronn confided with the elder. Seronn, only two people have truly been able defeat you . And they are the ones they can really scare the wits out of you , said Sifon with his pupils dilating. The devil himself , and Archimedes, said Sifon. This has nothing to do with the one who owns our soul, replied Seronn. Then it has to be Archimedes, said Sifon. Have you heard from Horkin ? Sifon asked the Immortal commander. No , I have not heard from him in ages . He has hid himself , that foolish man . replied Seronn. What else choice does he have? most of his army has been turned into ash, said Sifon. And I have a big part in that , that makes me foolish as well , said Seronn. We do not have the luxury to be foolish or wise , we simply adhere to the commands of the dark lord himself. Why does the dark lord not kill Archimedes Sifon , lamented Seronn. I do not know that son, that could be beyond his powers , replied Sifon . Beyond his powers? beyond the powers of the dark lord? Seronn scoffed. You know much Seronn, and there is much you do not know , replied Sifon. Is it why we are truly not able to capture Archimedes . That he is a powerful man himself , asked Seronn. Sifon grinned and left Seronn to himself. Seronn was quite irritated by the demeanor of Sifon. All you people ever do is give me more questions than I had originally had , shouted Seronn. The biggest mistake I had ever done is join you and the others. I should have stayed back at Xenon . Sifon did not bother to reply or even acknowledge the concerns of Seronn. Sifon leaves the room. Horkin Horkin is hidden inside the caves , having not seen the sunlight for months. He sits in his thrones a broken man who has lost everything that he had valued in his life. He sat there all day in his cave chambers and had no time for no one. The only thing that he had in his mind was revenge. He wanted his revenge on the Marakese and more specifically he wanted the head of Archimedes. The young Marakese warrior who blazed the lands with his horse has remained elusive. No matter how many times Horkin had attempted to catch him , it always deemed to be impossible to do so. Now Horkin , the leader of the barbarians all he does is throws his hammer at the face of Archimedes, whose face is drawn in the cave chambers. The painting of Archimedes in the chambers of Horkin was full of wounds and scars, yet in real life Archimedes had not a single scratch on his body. One day , when Horkin was throwing his axe at Archimedes, Durovin entered his chambers. What brings you here? asked Horkin as he threw the axe with all his might. I have some news for you , replied Durovin. And Durovin was one of the few people who got to speak to Horkin these days. What news? bad or worse? asked Horkin. It is not all that bad? replied Durovin. Horkin had an evil laughter on him as he went and picked up the axe from the cave walls. Does his head roll? asked Horkin pointing at the mural of Archimedes. No sir , replied Durovin who was regretting his choice to come on speak to his leader. Then it is bad news, said Horkin. But I have some news that may be of interest to you , said Durovin. What? asked Horkin . We know the location of Zeno, he is a prisoner now , said Durovin. Horkin was starting to show some interest in the conversation as he stopped throwing his axe around. He is a prisoner in the planet 111 , continued Durovin. He is a prisoner to the humans. And his cellmate is that fool Plato. Get the warriors ready Durovin, commanded Horkin. We fly there tomorrow. Very well , I will do the necessary preparations , he said and took leave from his leader.
