The Light side

Chapter Three

The Light Side

Gates were dismantled, it seemed like a break in attempt, people were crowded by the gate chattering. "Come with me", Kadma said. "There's been an attack at the entrance, the gates are broken down but the suspects evaded away" "No,...fetch some of the gaurds and head there, report back the situation,...", Gin said. "Understood my Lord", Kadma departed. "Paller, get George the treasurer here", Gin ordered. "As you wish", Paller left. "Mmmmm", Gin rubbed his hair rapidly. "This is, too much!! Either, way, I have to do this,...Niva...I miss y-" "My Lord!", George arrived as he bowed, Gin cleared his throat. "George,...how are our finances looking?" "Surprisingly normal, with the previous King dead it was clear as day that this kingdom would reach a high rate of inflation and people might've started to go bersek and refuse to pay taxes,...but, things went otherwise, and that's a good thing, regarding during this dilemma", George explained. "Mm, that's good,...keep an eye on the finances", Gin said. "Understood my Lord", he bowed as he was dismissed. "My Lord,... there's a prophesy, you should know about", Paller said. "Prophesy?" "Yes,...", she sighed afterwards. "whenever a new King or Queen is appointed, a new prophesy is formed....sometimes it may contain riddles that no one will even understand, some may be straight forward, and some, might not be. The last one had complicated riddles, no one managed to crack it resulting insufficient knowledge of the final battle", Paller elaborated. "And the current prophesy?", he asked. Paller paused for a moment. "It is said,...that the King of darkness faces his own color,....I think you already know what that means right?", she questioned. "Yes,...faces his own color,....black, darkness, death, which means the one who's going to make that happen is the queen of light, during our final battle", Gin said, he clenched his fists. Paller saw it. "Prophesy huh? I don't give a shit about the damn prophesy! I'm going to decapitate the queen of light! Whatever it takes,...I don't give a damn if I have to eat shit to do it!!", Gin snarled. "Language my Lord", Paller said. "Uh-uh, oh yes, ehmm, get Kadma here now" "Yes my Lord", she departed. She arrived back after a while with Kadma. "My Lord", Kadma bowed. "Kadma, you mentioned a mage ability that resides in you correct?", Gin asked. "Precisely my Lord" "Mm, I need you to, make me invisible, I don't want the kingdom of light to know who's ruling the this dark kingdom", Gin said. "Yes my Lord,...if you can be so kind and step closer", Kadma said. Gin did so. Kadma raised his hand towards Gin's face. He closed his eyes and his hand began to glow red. Gin's aura activated and started mimicking Kadma's hand aura. "Done", Kadma said. "Mmm" "No one will be able to tell who you are, even seers, their vision of you will be just a shadow,..", Kadma said. "Good, nicely done Kadma" "You're most welcome my Lord", he bowed. "Mmm, concealed as darkness, but everywhere like madness", Gin said. "Mmm? My Lord, was that a poem phrase?", Kadma asked. "Well, yes, it is" "Whoah, which book is it from?", Kadma asked in turn. "Well I wrote it myself", Gin said. "What?", Kadma said surprisingly. "You're a poet my Lord?", Paller asked. "Yes" "That's impressive!", Kadma said. "Oh?You know, you two are the first ones that just complimented my poetry", he said. "Really? I would love to read them my Lord!", Paller said. "Me too,...uh,...my Lord!", he quickly bowed. Gin paused for a moment while a little shocked. It was surely the first time someone had took interest into reading his poems, he later on smiled with content.

Meanwhile at the Kingdom of Light

"Still no sign your highness", Liam said, he was a mage. white cloak, blonde shot hair. "What?Why?Any explaination for this?", Gwen asked. She was sitting on her throne. "I believe it has something to do with dark magic your highness", Liam replied. "Dark,..magic,..huh,..why is the king of darkness concealing his self?", she questioned as she widened her eyes a bit,...she smiled afterwards. "concealed as darkness, but everywhere like madness", she said while smiling. "It reminds me of Gin's favorite phrase from his own made poems,....I can't believe I'm actually thinking of him as of now,.....that idiot", she said as she chuckled lightly. "You just sit home tight Gin,...and let your big sister handle this,...I'll show you how reliable and dependable I can be", she said in her head. "So,...the bandits", Liam said. "I suggest we launch an attack to the dark side!", Sydney said by the entrance, her arms folded, one of Gwen's closest friends from school. "Don't you have any respect towards the queen?!", Liam exclaimed. "Let her be, Liam, Sydney? What do you mean?", Gwen asked. "Well, since their gates were attacked by some bandits, I guess we ought to make a move, kind of a way to show them what the new light kingdom is capable of", Sydney said. "I agree", Cassy, another one of Gwen's friends intercepted the conversation as she stood beside Sydney, she too was a warrior. "This is madness!!", Liam said. "Perhaps not", Gwen said. "Elaborate thoroughly your highness", Liam said while bowing. "We'll get to meet what our new foes are like, that might be beneficial", she replied. "Well, its offical then", Sydney said. "Cassy, since you're appointed general of army, you'll be in charge. I on the other hand, will act as if I'm a warrior, with my face concealed, I really need to see the dark side up close", Gwen said as she smiled. "Mf, absolutely,.....your highness!", Cassy bowed and Sydney departed after. "Liam? I know you're against this,...but rest assured, I surely have a spy in the dark side", Gwen said. "What?! A spy? Who?!", Liam questioned. "Well that would ruin the surprise wouldn't it? Hahaha, get switched on, we're heading out" "Yes your highness", he departed. The light army gathered outside. Gwen stood out, wearing her white warrior clothing, her ability was swordsman also, she had her silver sword on her back, her face covered together with her hair. She pulled down the disguise and everyone went silent. "My warriors, this is the new era of both the light and the dark kingdom,...since both of the kings are dead, we ought to take action as soon as possible, when they're still unprepared. It sounds rational? I know it might sound like that but, we will also have the great opportunity to study how our opponents fight, so that in the final battle and actually the upcoming one before that, we will be prepared. This,...is not a full attack,...this,..is just a small peek and disappear,....so,..with that all being said,...let's roll", Gwen said as the army started to prepare as the gates were opening. "Alright, warriors, keep your eyes sharp,...and stay frosty,..on me!!", Cassy said leading them out. Cassy's weapon was a huge axe and Sydney's was a spear. They traveled through the forest. It was 11am, the sky was clear. They arrived and posted a distance apart. The dark kingdom, its walls were pure black together with its palace and was surrounded by a dark aura like it was overcast there. The sight was heavy and intimidating. "Such aura", Cassy said. Gwen narrowed her brows while in the midst among the warriors. "Umm hello!! This is where you come in numbskull", Sydney said. "Yeah I know, you prick!!", a girl came up front, she was covering her face. She took her bow and arrows and aimed at the top at one of the guards. "Don't miss", Sydney said with a small smile as the girl scoffed. She shot and it stabbed the guards neck and he fell outside. "Mmm, not bad", Sydney said then the gates barged open with the dark warriors flooding out. "What?! They knew?They knew we were coming", Cassy said. "Either way, we're here, attack", Gwen said at the back. "Ooouu, you heard her! Let's freaking go!!", Cassy said and they appeared out of the forest charging on ahead. Cassy drew out her axe, while she walked with a smile on her face. She massively threw it as it hit her foe's face and he dropped dead. Another one came from behind with his sword and swang across and she ducked then she swang up for an uppercut and hit him with an elbow on the chest then she reached out to her axe which had stabbed her first kill's face and it flew back to her hand as she sliced her foe apart. "Yes baby", she said. The archer girl, aimed at Paller who was by the gate. She shot as Paller tilted her head and caught the arrow. She glared back at the girl with her cold blue eyes. "My Lord, I'm heading in", she said with Gin on her side who also had his disguise on. "Very well", he said and she removed her cloak, revealing her battle outfit. Gin widened his eyes a bit, she looked glorious in his eyes, white long hair being blown by the wind as she walked. she drew out her large blade. A light warrior charged against her as he halted halfway and started to dash around from side to side and began circling her with intense speed while Paller just stood there at the midst. "Hahaha, can't see me? Too bad,...I'm gonna kill you right here, you dark fiend!", he pounced and within a second Paller was stabbed by his huge blade. "Wh-NO!!", Gin yelled out. "Hahaha, it actually is painful that I have to kill a pretty woman like yourself,....or...I might take you back to our kingdom, have you treated and become my plaything until the day you take your last breath hahahaha!", he said while Paller was facing down bleeding. She coughed out blood. "Shit!!", Gin attempted to go as Kadma grabbed him. "Apologies my Lord, but you mustn't", he said. "What?! Why?", Gin asked and Kadma just shook his head. "Hahahaha, now,....you're mine!", he said and Paller clasped his neck and he froze with a little shock. "Huh? Ohhh??Still struggling until the end? I really might use someone like you in bed hehe", he laughed and Paller raised her head and faced him with her dead eyes. Then smiled afterwards,...and suddenly started to absorb him. "What-the what is,what?No what are you-haaaaa stop!!!!!Ahhhhhhhggghhh", Gin widened his eyes watching Paller absorb him and left alone there like she wasn't attacked at all, her wound had disappeared. "What?! Just, happened?", Gin asked. "Mimick", Kadma said. "Mimick?", Gin asked again as Paller pounced with great speed dashing like the one she absorbed. "Does that mean?-" "Yes my Lord, she can absorb anyone after she gets attacked by that someone up close and then she absorbs them together with their abilities", Kadma said. "What? That's impressive", Gin said. "Line up! Get ready!!", the dark warriors at the top stood there with their bows ready to fire. Archers. "Shit! Support unit!! Get to work!!", Cassy yelled and their support unit lined up as well at the front as they fell back a bit. The dark warriors fired their arrows as the light support unit made shields and blocked them. They removed the shields as the light girl ,the archer charged forward on her own with speed, charging ahead. "Shoot her!!", one of the dark warriors said at the top and all of them started to shoot their arrows. She dodged a couple of them, another one shot then she caught it and inserted it on her bow and shot it back and hit the dark archer. "Fire!!", the dark warrior at the top yelled and the archers fired in unison, a thousand arrows coming down on her. She glared at them while still running ahead, she glared up at the arrows, her eyes glew orange and counted them all at once with her eyes in a second with her pupils moving with unimaginable speed. Then she launched up like a bullet and grabbed all the arrows in the air in a flash then she landed. "What the, hell", Gin shockingly said. She opened her eyes as her aura began to charge, the thousand arrows starting to float around her. She drew out her bow and swang it as it became bigger, a length of three people. The arrows got attached on her enormous bow, then she pulled it and aimed at the top. The arrows started to glow in orange and the ground started to shake. "Get down my Lord!", Kadma warned and she shot massively and the arrows hit all the archers at the top and some of the brick stones fell as Gin and Kadma jumped away. "Mmf show off", Sydney said. "Are you really done showboating?", Cassy yelled from the back. The archer girl didn't respond, Paller was gone, she looked around cautiously, all she could see was the dust which was pervaded all over and the battle bewteen the warriors. She felt a shadow dashed by behind her and she quickly looked back. There was nothing. Another one dashed beside her and she stood back. Out of the blue she felt a massive kick at the side of her head and she fell and quickly stood up. It was Paller,...the archer girl put her bow at her back and stood a fighting stance. "Uh, wasn't she an archer?", Kadma asked himself. "That stance,...martial arts? Hell she's strong", a dark warrior said beside him. Paller pointed her with her blade standing a distance apart from her, the archer girl blinked and the next thing she knew Paller was in front of her and swang her blade and she quickly ducked and aimed for an uppercut against Paller then Paller tilted her head and grabbed her wrist and pulled her and hit her with a head butt and the archer girl almost fell due to the diziness. She drew out her dagger and launched against Paller. She was like a fox hungry for battle, the both of them exchanging blows. Weirdly the archer girl was keeping up even though she was using a only just a dagger against Paller's huge blade. "She's not blocking my attacks directly, she's deflecting my attacks by grazing my blade to a direction of her desire,...impressive", Paller said in her mind. "How about this then", Paller said and started dashing from side to side getting closer. The archer girl's eyes turned orange. Paller got close with intense speed and swang her blade and the archer girl quickly ducked and punched Paller massively in her stomach and fell a distance apart. She grunted while getting up, she stood her stance. "Who's that girl?She's going toe to toe with Paller?This is the first time I'm witnessing this", a random dark warrior said beside the other. Paller launched against her and the archer girl did too and they collided halfway then Paller swang down aiming to cut her in two and the girl bent slightly to the left and elbowed the side of Paller's blade as it flew a distance apart. "What? Such perfect timing, if she hadn't timed that accurately she would have gotten cut by my blade,...", Paller thought so and the archer girl slashed across Paller's stomach as she groaned. Paller grabbed her hand and faced her sharply. The archer girl pulled away but she couldn't evade. Paller smiled. Cassy gasped,"Uh that again!" The archer girl slashed Paller's arm and she let go and stood back. "Haha, what? You don't wanna get absorbed?", Paller said. The archer girl narrowed her brows glaring back at her. something came down forcefully as it landed beside the archer girl. The dust pervaded all over. "What the ,who's that?", one of the dark warriors questioned. The dust settled. It was Gwen, her aura was heavy and dominating. "Such power, who the hell is that?", Paller said to herself. It was now two against one. Gin saw and he took off and launched and landed beside Paller with force too and the rest of the light warriors chattered. Gin's aura was dark ,heavy and intimidating, with him staring back at Gwen with his cold eyes. Both of them had their disguises on, but Gin knew it was Gwen his big sister, due to her posture and body shape. "What is this heavy power? ....Are you the King of darkness?", Gwen questioned. Gin didn't reply, just glared back. "Hey!! Archer girl!! Thought you'd finish that white haired dark slut but I guess that's all you got", Sydney yelled as she mocked. The archer girl took off her disguise and looked back at Sydney. "Would you shut the hell up already!!", she yelled and Gin widened his eyes. He was entirely shocked. The archer girl faced back. It was Niva. "Niva", Gin spoke shockingly. "Huh?", Niva was confused. She later on froze with her eyes wide. "Is that you? Gi-" "Well!! We'll take our departion for now, this was surely interesting, the dark side sure is interesting ,...until next time", Gwen and the rest started heading back. Niva looked back at Gin while she was running,"Its,...not possible". She said as they completely evaded.
