In the quiet hush of a rainy night,
A shadow lingers, ethereal light.
Beneath the canopy of clouds and mist,
A spirit of a king, long dismissed.
The rain falls gently, a whispered tale,
Of battles fought, where heroes prevail.
Through drops of silver, he treads unseen,
A figure regal, in robes of serene. A sight to be seen , as tears flow with the rain .
His crown of gold, a memory's gleam,
In the silent night, he weaves a dream.
His footsteps echo on ancient stone,
Through the crowded streets, with his people.
The people embrace, a mournful sigh,
As thunder rumbles, the spirits cry.
The king once mighty, now walks in peace,
In the veil of night, he finds release.
He recalls the days of glory bright,
When his kingdom thrived, a wondrous sight.
With wisdom's grace, he ruled with care,
His people's hearts, his love laid bare.
But the sight of war, has took what was once his,
The sands of fate, beyond control.
Now in the rain, he finds his rest,
A spirit free, in twilight's quest.
The drops of rain, a soothing balm,
To the king's soul, now calm, now calm.
He wanders through the hallowed halls,
Where once he stood, beneath grand walls.
The whispers of the past entwine,
With every step, a distant time.
He watches o'er his land so dear,
In the rain's embrace, he sheds a tear.
For though he's gone, his legacy stays,
In the hearts of those who walk his ways.
The spirit of the king, forever bright,
Guides his people through the night.
The rain, a song of sorrow sweet,
As he roams the ancient streets.
A presence felt but never seen,
In the raindrops' gentle sheen.
The night grows deeper, shadows blend,
The king's journey nears its end.
He fades into the mist once more,
A spirit's tale on time's old shore.
But in the hearts of those who reign,
His spirit lives, in sun and rain.
For every drop of rain that falls,
A king's spirit, forever calls.
So when the night is cloaked in gray,
And raindrops dance in solemn play,
Remember well the king who roams,
In the rain's soft song, he finds his home.
Among the people, Standing in the king funeral, witnessing his casket being lowered, a woman dressed in animal skin, Sings a different language while in tears "Ndzhunisani Hosi , Hosi ya hina ya rirhandzu, Haku rhadza , Tlela hikurhula." She repeatedly sings this words so loud that her voice echoes everywhere, One guard behind her grabs her by the clothes ,"what are you saying? " as he ask this question he feels a strong grip on his shoulder " This woman means no harm or disrespect ." He turns his head towards the voice and he finds it was prince Zane. Shocked by his presence he quickly bows " She is praising him (Praise the king ,Our king with love,We love you, Rest in peace. ) this are her exact words." The people around turn their attention to him.
Prince Zane with an intense look on his face he rises up and face the people, Mole watching and all kings gathered on the same place turn their attention on him" I have always admired what my father has done , For him being king was a gift, thats what he told me , the reason it was a gift was because of you all, Thank you all ...Today the reign of king Aren , My father had ended and a new era shall begin , With me on the Throne of Ignisia. As from today i am your king and your all my people .Each and everyone of you have a role to play , for me to be a greate king i must lead great people . I trust that your all the best . As my father use to say ( A king is his people) .Help me carry the legacy of Ignisia!! And lead it to the very end!!"
Prince Zane raises his sword and the people around him drop their weapons and lean on one knee , They bow their heads to acknowledge a new king ...King Arin of Ignisia.
Old kings die and new kings are born , A continuous circle that seeks no end. In this world being born in royalty brings nothing but question and mystery. No king has ever known freedom . But one king was considered free . King Arin will be missed. Rest in peace.
2 days later...
Mole is walking around Ignisia not recognizing any of his surroundings, as he sees everything has changed , because of war, " Huh , everything is so isolated." Mole walks around the giant tower " this tall tower , why is it destroyed up there." Mole looks at the tip top of the tower from right below. " This is the scars that war bing , Kingdoms are destroyed, innocent people die and peace is lost ...Thats why i need to be the strongest, maybe then , just maybe ..."
As Mole fantasies he hears footsteps coming toward him , he turns around and face the direction of the sound. " Hello Mole " it was Oarkborn , Mole with excitement he runs toward him . " you finally made it Oarkborn!!" Mole so excited he actually trips and falls face down. "Are you oky Mole??" Oarkborn seemed worried at the time he ask . But then Mole just gets up and walks towards him." Im glad you came Oarkborn " They both sit down and have a conversation.
Oarkborn: Do you remember what i said about Terri?
Mole: Yes , You said i should avoid using her alort in battle.
Oarkborn: Yes i have said that ,but now things seem to have taken a great turn. If she looses control in battle ,you alone can tame her power , You must find a way to help her and yourself.
Mole: How did you get that information?
Oarkborn: I met Emeralok. He was a great help.
Mole : Ooh yeah , the prophecy giant wood.
Oarkborn: Do you give everyone a nickname?
Mole : its a habit. But anyway im not finding anything out until i find my brothers.
Oarkborn: Be careful Mole , you might be strong but if an army was sent to get you , You might lose.
Mole : I will be careful...
As he talks a stranger come running with a news papers throws them around and one hits Mole in the face . Mole takes the paper and tares it apart . But Oarkborn born grabs one that was laying around.
Word of a new king was spreading around Aerthys, but what brought chills was that , The cursed kid was back , Word of Asher Pierce coming back to Aerthys brought huge surprise to people. And his tale for destroying the HQ of the Luminari brought question to people. But why questions??
The Luminari is a colt that seeks immortality but that is not known around the world , Among people they are famous for their generosity, they have history in giving to the poor and building infrastructure. Those actions and more have build them a great reputation. After hearing of the Luminari HQ was destroyed people started a strike against the Ace worriors.
Oarkborn scratches hes head and say" Why have you returned Asher ? It's not that time yet."
Somewhere in Aerthys in the river side of Eldrid, Aria and Zick are walking in a sturdy pace " How far is Zowe from here ? " Zick ask Aria but she ignores him and keeps walking , Then she reach out on her pocket . She grabbed hold of a glass ball as small as a nut , She takes it and hold it with two fingers and against her eye , she sees through it then images start to form that glass ball , then suddenly it brakes apart . " Hahahahh" a sound of a person laughing deep in the woods . Then Aria and Zick took fighting stance " Woah , wait we don't want to fight." Then from the shadows Mirrow appears . " Mirrow , how did you know where I was ?" Aria ask while holding Zick back . " It was thanks to this tiny dude "
Lucky: My name is Lucky not tiny dude!
He appears from the shadows of the trees . " Here's the deal Aria , you give up Blackwood and nobody will get hurt." Zick steps out and really shows himself " This Blackwood is not , The Luminaries possession, I will not hand him over, even if it kills me ." She reaches to her pocket and brings out a wip" I will not loose today ." Zick seeing that Aria is ready for battle he takes a fight stance , and the Aura start to manifest around him , blue light start to form around his body , then a lightning start to move around his body .
" Hahuhahh, Are you sure you stand a chance against us , what a joke , that's why I will end you Aria" at that moment a dark orb appears on her left shoulder , then she reached out with her hand , putting it in the orb, then she pulled her hand out , when it came out she was holding a sword.
Zick: an Invertory?
Aria grabs Zick by the shoulder " Do not take them head on , fight to escape Zick... "
As she was about to finish, Lucky kicks her in the mouth causing her to collide with Zick and send them flying in different directions, Separating them.
