Hell bent

The fierce war between zealot and Zainrald begins and it is obvious that none of them wants to give up in any way. They seem to be putting up a good show for Zuma who in his heart had chosen the winner but still want to see who he could likely tame among his sons

Zealot seems be be at the loosing end of things.. people could only see the warrior part of Zainrald and nothing more.

"Forget about ever winning brother"

"It's not over yet is it?"

" Do you really which to go against me?"

"You got it all wrong... we are all pieces of the chess game and we must play according to the rules...are you too daft to see that?"

"Just in few weeks you have grown wings... Sylvester was right about you... you act all nice and naive to win the court with your useless knowledge tactics.... you knew right from the beginning that I wanted the throne but now you are going against me "

"If that's what you think well it won't be bad if you are dancing near the pit they made for you. It would be better not to make an enemy of me because it's not favourable, I hope Sylvester told you that too"

"Well... anyone who wins doesn't matter. if you win I'll support you and if I win I know that you'll treat me like an enemy"

"The throne is mine zealot... keep your hands off!"

"He really thinks with his butt" he scoffed

***********

Zainrald seems to be at an advantage over his brother... but it's a pity that someone has weak as that gets the throne..like father like son.

"You have to be prepared for any strike attack... Zainrald is merciless on the battle field" Raven's voice felt like a sting in my head...' merciless' definitely he can kill on the battle field if he had to... such monstrous behavior.

"Take a break... I'll come by tomorrow again.." Raven is a man of few words..he left without turning back.. it's a pity his fate is tied with mine.

"Your highness... there is a problem!"

"What is it?" " Letters can't cross the borders for now as ordered by the king..so our plan is forfeited"

Zuma is really a calculating bastard...how can he do such a thing... "Send it through a piegon instead..at least he won't ban a bird from flying"

"You are really wise"

"Am just like all of them.. using this royale to my advantage. What about the pills I gave you to check"

"Thank goodness you didn't give it to your uncle... it's poison..more poisonous that won't show itself fast but a slow version of death"

He is not only a coward but a wicked murder..how can he do this to a man that supported his reign all through this years

"Go check on him.. I hope they didn't feed it to him" " That's what I fear princess"

I'll definitely count all the deaths,pain that Zuma is involved in and make him pay dearly for it even with his life.

"Princess.. your mother request your presence"

it's been weeks since I last saw her.. I rarely have the time to go sit dilly-dally with my mom all day lamenting about her dear husband...

"You sent for me mother?!"

" If I didn't call you here will you really abandon me?" an obvious question..the answer is known already..even if I plan to take her with me she'll never let go of her dear husband... will she?

"You made your choice... I made mine"

"You have really grown some few wings...but tread carefully because they might want to clip it for you"

"Then it would grow again that a flap will stair the Earth's core"

"Am really proud of what you have become... fight for what's yours"

"What's mine doesn't belong here... nothing here is worth fighting for...but since am to fight I'll fight for my freedom"

she looks at me with such a keen eyes that were ready to shed tears any time soon... speaking of time..it already fell!

"Nothing here is worth fighting for... including me?" misinterpretation is one problem my mother has and still has until now

"No.. I'll fight our way out of here..but the choice is yours if you want to leave or stay next to your dear husband" the words sting where it hurts but only with pain can your eyes be clear at this point

" Your King doesn't want me anymore..he has locked me here and soon he can strip me out of my royal right..so before I suffer that disgrace I'll leave this place" her face redden with sadness and her eyes restrict the tears form dropping

"It's good that you have made up your mind. Don't sit here all day..learn to fight for your freedom..you used to be an archer... continue to practice because he won't let us leave easily. I'll tell Leon to watch over you and send you some refreshing pills... you need all your energy for this"

********

"How is that monkey's uncle doing in the dungeon?"

"He lost all energy and looks so pale..he can die anytime soon"

"Well... you know what to do with him... I don't have to remind you do I?"

"of course not your majesty"

"Get on with it"

"This will teach all those who oppose me to hide in their closet and not make me find them".

*******

Down the smelly dungeon Tarius fate is sealed like a tight gate and it's key is in the hands of the king...Zuma!

"Here...take this!" " I refused to take anything form that king of yours"

"Including the antidote..." his eyes full of suprises.. could Zuma really be kind enough to give him the antidote...or did....

His eyes widen in disbelief " Yes .. you guessed right! The queen already admit to her sins and she is under house arrest... and might be punished right after violet gets banished. Tsk tsk tsk tsk....from grace to grass...what a pity"

"Give me the antidote..." hesitation seem to flee at that moment...he knew he had to save his sister and his niece..what a cruel man that have encountered.

"I'll administer it to you every day..in the next three day you'll be fine and all your worries of death will disappear"

"When do I get released...?" " That's for his Majesty to decide but I prefer you rot in here "

"I'll remember your face... I promise" he muttered under his breath and sigh...not knowing what has kicked off in Zuma's head.
