Everyone was so surprised "What? Rrond? How's that possible?" asked a random guy in the crowd. "I knew there was something wrong with that guy. He had been acting weird since his arrival." said Yozz. "There's a very dark aura erupting from that man and the magic orb he just shot from his hand was too powerful. I can't believe an untrained human being can perform such magic. Who on earth is that man?" asked an archmage. "Rrond? When did you learn magic? And why did you use it against me?" asked Queen Ann.
"Don't just stand there you nitwits, arrest that man!" ordered the chief soldier. Twelve of the soldiers rushed towards Rrond with their knives. Rrond stretched forth his left hand and wiggled his fingers. The soldiers started to float. The soldiers were screaming, they felt helpless. "Help us arch mages. Help!" They screamed but everyone just froze like a newly made mannequin. As they got to a particular point above the ground level, Rrond made a fist and the soldiers were squashed and their flesh and blood were scattered throughout the hall.
Everyone panicked. "Who is this man? Please don't kill us" these were the screams coming out of the people's mouths. "I think it's time to fight magic....with magic" said an archmage calmly. Still with their robes on, everywhere covered, one of them raised his staff and tapped it on the ground twice. "Argus Oeruxes" said the mage and a large dark cloud appeared above Rrond and large fire balls rained down on him. Rrond smiled and snapped his fingers and immediately, the fire balls turned to water balloons and splashed on him. "How rude! You just got my clothes wet." said Rrond. Another archmage jumped and twirled his own staff and a portal opened beneath him but Rrond couldn't be sucked into the portal. "Look at his feet sister, he is floating" said another archmage. "I can't believe this! None of the archmages can stop this man! What kind of magic does he have? I single handedly picked up these archmages to protect my family and I from magical threats like this one and they're the best in the kingdom and probably the best in the whole world. This is bad. This is very bad" said King John XII silently with fear written all over him.
"I can't believe that no one can stop me in this kingdom. Not even the overrated archmages. This is the worst I've seen these archmages perform." said Rrond and then he laughed maniacally. "Okay Rrond, you win! what do you want?" asked the king. Rrond gave a smirk. "You cannot give me what I want though" Rrond said standing akimbo. "Don't be stupid Rrond! How can you come here, kill a few people, attempt to assassinate the king and you still can't say what you want?" shouted Yozz. Immediately he said that, blood splashed on the body of the person next to Yozz, he looked and saw Yozz's head falling from his neck. Everyone screamed and tried to run but their legs couldn't carry them due to intense fear and pressure.
"I hate it when mortals shout at me. They're not even worthy to be in my presence." Rrond said, brought out a handkerchief and wiped the blood stain from his cloak. "Okay Rrond, you win! What do you want?" asked King John. "I would have told you what I wanted but the question is: Will you give it to me?" asked Rrond as he puts his handkerchief back in his cloak. "What on Earth does that mean, Rrond? We all know that the king is rich enough to give you anything you desire. Please stop playing games with us and get straight to the point. Please don't hurt anyone else." shouted Queen Ann with a broken voice and with tears rolling down her cheeks hugging Princess Elizabeth and Prince Stanley. "I'm going to let that slide because you said "please" and because I made up my mind not to hurt anyone from the royal family." said Rrond angrily but he didn't shout.
"Rrond please! Tell us what you want. I'm sure I can give it to you. I'll give you anything, money, gold, diamonds, emeralds, fine jewels, I have everything. Just name it!" said King John XII with fear written all over him. "And if you don't?" asked Rrond calmly. Everywhere was silent, neither the king nor his officials could say anything. "I thought so. Well, I'm going to tell you only in one condition." Rrond said. Everyone gasped, "no way he just gave the king a condition!" said a random man silently. "Okay! What is the condition?" asked the king. Rrond raised his left hand again and wiggled them as he did with the soldiers and one man was telekinetically levitated. "No! No! No! Please don't do this! I have children at home waiting for me! Help me! Help me!" the man screamed. "If you don't give me what I want within twenty four seconds, I'll kill a man and that goes on for every twenty four seconds. So, in every twenty four seconds that passed, a man must die and the blood will be in your hands. Do you accept?" Rrond asked.
Everyone looked at the king as if the looks will make the words come out of his mouth. Everyone looked with fear and anxiety writtyall over them. "Yes I accept!" said the King. Everyone gave a sigh of relief. "Now, what is your request?" asked King John. "Well, I want the five stones of the kingdom!" said Rrond. Everyone gasped again. "Those stones.....No way! It's impossible" said an archmage. "I can't....I can't give you the stones even if I wanted to. I don't have magice and the stones are kept in a place reinforced with the greatest sealing magic in this kingdom." said the King. "Yes that's true though but your archmages have the spells to bring down the reinforcement barrier. That's the only thing I need" said Rrond with a smirk on his face. "Do you realise that if we give you the stones, our Kingdom will be in shambles for all eternity. No peace, happiness, joy, tolerance, you name it. Everything will be gone and so will most of our magic." said the King amidst fear.
"Time's up" said Rrond as he made a fist with his hand and immediately, the man already levitated was squashed and his blood and flesh scattered throughout the hall. He raised up another man and left the man hanging in the air. "I can keep killing people you know!" said Rrond and he laughed maniacally. "Please give him the spell" said the king to the archmages. "But my liege! If we..." the archmage tried to explain but the king didn't care at that point. "Just give him the spell" he said.
One of the mages stretched his staff and a piece of paper appeared in Rrond's right hand. He smiled and he tapped his head and let the man he had in the air go. Immediately, the sky turned red. "It has begun" said one of the archmages. The sun disappeared, almost all green plant life turned brown, the butterflies turned to locusts and five of the archmages fainted. Everyone including the royal family couldn't look at what was happening. Everyone was afraid. The king looked at Rrond and found out that he has disappeared and the man he had on the air had died. The chief soldier looked at the man and saw a note on his head, he picked it up and it read "THAT'S FOR WASTING MY TIME!". They looked everywhere and it was giving out dark aura and energy.
