Chapter 22 : The Grandmasters Betrayal

The feast had begun as people from from all round Avalon where enjoying the celebration the music was vibrant as jolly people danced happily the atmosphere was good and jolly when Grandmaster Garcias stood up with a glass full of wine in his hands for a toast to the royal family.

"i would like to give a toast to the royal family at this delightful hour "he said raising the cup causing the hall to go dead silent before he continued

"On His Majesty's twentieth birthday i was there an what a beautiful celebration it was a grand one indeed" he said smiling before continuing "and when he picked Her Majesty as his maiden of honor i knew she was going to be his queen" he said raising his glass towards the Queen "i was also a moral support of king Edward on the day Princess Natasha was to be born and trust me he was put in a difficult position because she was his first child" he said "but the day Alex was born i saw the perfect gift of all the star and it wasn't just a gift fir the royal palace it was also a gift for the whole if Avalon and beyond the borders and that is why honoured guests from across and beyond Avalon are here to celebrate you on your twentieth birthday and i am pleased that i was given the honor to foretell your birth and prophecy" he said before raising the glass to Alex and everyone drank their wine .

"thank you Garcias for the lovely toast you have always been a part of our history" the king said raising his glass for Garcias

"well if you don't mind i would like to present a gift for the royal family" he said as he clapped his hands and four a men stepped in each holding a golden gauntlet walking towards the royal family they placed it in front of the royals before bowing and stepping out.

"Your Majesties i present the gauntlet of Shamba forged from the steel sheild of Khataka with pure trolls gold and a piece of dwarven steel and elvin magic this gauntlet is a great protection tool an a strong weapon" he said smiling as he watched them wear it. Although the king felt a little suspicious of Garcias at that moment because Garcias was a very stingy person he never spent his money on anything that wasn't going to heavily benefit him the king didn't over think it and discarded the thought as soon as it entered and wore the gauntlets before the rest of the royals wore theirs. As they wore it a satisfied gaze was seen on Garcias face which made Damien suspicious of Garcias as he prepped a disattaching spell as he felt something was going to happen

"thank you Garcias for the gift but may i ask why you decided to give us all gifts " the queen asked qith a calm face

"well because i felt like doing something grand for you all before your sad demise" he replied as he frowned

"what how dare you insult us " the king said as he stood up angrily. noticing what Garcias said Damien shot the blue light glowing on his hands at Alex gauntlets destroying it.

"ow i ain't insulting you i am going to make you watch as i become the emperor of Avalon before i kill you all" he said. Hearing what he just said the king jumped at him as he tried to use his magic but to no avail even without magic he didn't stop as he threw his fist towards the face of the Grandmaster but his fist was caught by him before he twisted his hands as he blew the king's stomach before throwing him back as the queen drew a sword and swung it at him he dodged it before catching the sword as he used his winds cage to hold her up in the air but before he could finish what he started and strangle her he saw a bolt of lightning fly towards his as Damien and Alex attacked him Alex used his strength spell as he aimed his fist at Garcias face and Damien threw several bolts of lightning towards him seeing the co-ordinated attack coming for him his figure flickered as he teleported away and appeared behind Alex hitting him hard on the head making him loose balance as he fell seeing the swift movement of the Grandmaster Damien used another spell he turned invincible making the Grandmaster loose track of his location he ran towards him as he reappeared and hit him as the fight between the Grandmaster and Damien ensued Damien conjured thousands of lightning bolts all aimed at the Grandmaster as he used his winds to support their swift movement boosting their speed before he used the earth to pull the Grandmaster closer to him but the Grandmaster didn't flinch as he remained in his position Alex stood up and attacked him but he was stronger than Alex and Damien put together and he had already weakened the king and queen so it was quite easy for him to take out Damien and Alex as they bombarded him with their attacks but the strangest thing was that no one at the event moved all through their fight it was like they where glued to their sits or expected the take down of the royal family of Avalon and where just enjoying the show.

Defeating Damien and Alex he then then muttered

"mias ale lous voiden-am" he said in a low voice as he kept repeating the incantation as his voice got louder soon there was a huge dark circle on the ground as five demon soldiers came out they were dawning armours like they where here to battle. Garcias was now floating above the ground as he laughed and continued chanting as more and more demon soldiers were summoned round the castle the royal guards that didn't know what was happening began to battle this demons but where losing for a lost cause and suffered a huge drop in their numbers. Garcias didn't stop as he continued to summon more and more demon soldiers vefore finally he had exhausted his energy and now needed another dose of magic to be able to summon his demon General.
