The palace had changed a lot in a short time, the magnificent fortress stood firm with tight guard at every corner. Makes it look like a cattle pen.
From the top of the tree though in the darkness of the night he could see the routine still running behind the wall, the candles were still burning with some people wandering around.
At the main gate he saw a motorcade waiting for approval to enter, making him wonder who the blind night guest was.
Searching for answers while taking advantage of the lightning-fast situation he slipped into the accompaniment, hiding behind disguises as a servant.
Walking slowly following the newly allowed entry he saw the royal symbol in the main tent, apparently Ursula's Allies were about to visit.
When he had entered the palace area he immediately broke away to find another way, as he remembered there was a way to the kitchen that should not have been guarded.
Unfortunately, some waiters were busy cooking there, looking for a way to pass without being caught Damien took a pebble which he then threw towards the wine barrel.
Trunks
The loud noise made the servants startled as he looked towards the wine barrel, quickly taking the few seconds he used to pass.
It is common knowledge that vampires can run fast as if they are moving places, but still if done in front of many people it will attract attention because the wind created is strong enough.
Successfully entering without being discovered he continued walking while watching around, after a turn in the hallway he finally found the stairs leading to the basement used for the holding cells.
So far he was safe but when he got to the basement some of the guards stood guard quite tightly, unable to dodge he decided to take down the guards.
Buccancy
Ah..
One bodyguard immediately collapsed unconscious as soon as he hit a weak spot on his nape.
"Hey!" another guard who saw.
Buk Buk Buk Buk
The battle soon ensues, Damien must take down three other bodyguards, one of which is large.
Of course he was overwhelmed enough that the fight was noisy enough to grab the attention of the prisoners, ten minutes later they finally fell.
Immediately checking in one by one Damien's cell hoping that no other bodyguards would come, most of whom were women and children who cried out for help as he passed by.
But Damien felt he had no interest in them so he passed by, until his steps stopped in front of one of the cells.
He noticed a boy who seemed to have received a lot of torture recently, even the bloodstains on the floor still smelled fragrant in the nostrils.
"Albert," he called slowly.
......................
"Welcome King Thomas" greeted Ursula with a friendly smile that she had trained.
"Ursula, thank you for this great welcome. I'm sorry I came sooner" he said.
"It's okay, I've been waiting for you from yesterday. Let's enter! let me entertain you with a special meal of the Elves."
"Oh I'm really looking forward to it" she replied.
Along with his right hand and a few bodyguards of King Thomas walking Ursula towards the dining room, a sumptuous meal was served a few minutes later.
"Your waiter is really good at cooking, for this fancy dish I have the right drink."
Just by glancing at King Thomas ordered his right hand to give a small pot made of silver, then he poured the drink into a glass.
"This is the best wine I have, please try" he said, handing over the glass.
"You're so good King Thomas, you shouldn't have bothered like this. Now you're making me owe you more" Ursula said.
"Hahahaha we are allies of Ursula, please enjoy."
"Thank you but I'm fasting, sorry I'll drink next time."
"What's? but Ursula I've prepared it for you! can't you just cancel your fast out of respect for me?" king Thomas was offended.
"How is it. My fasting is sacred so I can't cancel it."
"Ursula why are you so hard? it's just one gulp."
Something was not right, explained Ursula felt King Thomas was very adamant. Perhaps in the wine was a poison that he had prepared, unable to take the risk he had to avoid this.
"I'm sorry for my cunning, then would you like to have a drink with me?" tanyakanya.
"No Ursula, this is the gift I brought for you so how can I enjoy it?" sahut King Thomas with bitter tone.
"You just give me a glass, and then you have to take a glass, aren't we allies? how can I enjoy it myself?" reply Ursula.
Staring at the end King Thomas told his right hand to pour the drink, pointing it in front of King Thomas said "For the sake of our alliance".
" Chers." said Ursula, who raised her glass.
With a doubt slowly King Thomas put the glass to his lips, while occasionally glancing at Ursula who was still holding her glass. Waiting for him to swallow up.
Glek Glek
Finally King Thomas took a sip of the drink, and Ursula drank it. He smiled and gestured for King Thomas to continue eating, but his face suddenly paled like a moon with sweaty fur on his forehead.
"The antidote!" king Thomas suddenly.
Quickly his right hand gave a small bottle of green liquid, King Thomas sipped it down quickly. While Ursula regurgitated the drink that had been pounding her mouth, she survived.
"Already expected," he murmured with eyes full of threat.
"The fast guards call them!" his orders.
"Stop or I'll take your life!" sophia exclaimed who was quickly behind Ursula with a dagger threatening her neck.
"Tell them to back off" Sophia ordered.
"Do what she asks" said Ursula who could somehow be so relaxed.
The guards retreated, while King Thomas continued his plan to attack the Elves.
He went with his bodyguards and his right hand to make way for his soldiers out there, letting Sophia take care of Ursula herself as they had planned.
"Go! save the kids and the others!" exciting Ursula.
Doubtfully the Elf bodyguards left, leaving Ursula still in a threatened position.
"You are a wise queen, instead of telling them to help you you are asking them to save your people" Sophia said with a bitter smile.
"You won't hurt me" said Ursula softly.
"Well, where did that belief come from?" sophia asked ridiculing.
"Because you're my daughter."
Stunned Sophia did not expect Ursula to say such a prank.
"Don't make me laugh, we don't even look like how can you brag like that?" ask Sophia.
"Maybe our physiques are not the same, but the blood flowing in your body will never change. Sophia..you are the Rider who was born from the womb of an Elf, has perfect beauty like an Elf, immortal like a vampire, phased like a human, has healthy magic abilities like a witch, has the ability of magic like a witch, he can heal wounds like a fairy. You are the leader of all the peoples who will bring the Elves to glory" Ursula said.
"No! I am the princess of the Meseress kingdom!" Sophia.
"In the war that night Thodor took you from me, he purposely made you the daughter of Meseress so that she could redeem the agreement with Damien. The most important thing is for Albert to pass on the throne without Damien's interference charging the surprise child."
Slowly Sophia's embrace loosened, she needed time to digest all the words that were either just a joke or indeed reality.
"Your age is sixteen years old, there will come a time when the Rider's mark appears on your forehead and then you will not be able to evade destiny."
"lik! Albert is my twin brother and we will take this palace back from you!" sophia is full of emotion.
He let go of Ursula and dashed out fiercely, passing through every passageway without a care for the Elven warriors who were busy fighting against the warrior King Thomas.
His furious steps led him into the basement and came to a halt on the steps when he saw Damien carrying Albert, staring at each other for a while then Sophia walked up to them.
Without a word he made a portal right in front of them, after the portal was created he helped Damien carry Albert out of the place.
Crossing their dimensions out of the portal and finding themselves in the woods, just behind them Sophia sees the Meseress's palace completely muddled in battle.
"Come on!" take him to Damien again to take Albert away from the place.
......................
That night Sophia returned to the room and told King Thomas' plan to the Yarren, they would storm the Meseress palace once Ursula had been crippled with poison.
Without hesitation Yarren offered his help but Sophia refused firmly, instead she asked Yarren to wait for her in front of the cave on the road to the Zimbe tribe.
After rescuing Albert he intended to seek refuge under the Zimbe tribe for some time, because Sophia was so adamant that it was there that she was.
Standing right in front of the mouth of the cave and waiting with gusto the arrival of Sophia who will bring Albert.
A strong wind blows the leaves above the ground, giving a cool feeling under the pressure of the air.
Srek
One voice rang out in her sensitive ears, staring at the bushes that gave rise to the sound she wished it was Sophia. Unfortunately that came out was precisely the animal of the night, exhaling a disappointed breath he looked up at the sky to indulge hope.
"Yarren!" call Sophia who staggered because she made the portal too often.
"Oh Albert!" yarren immediately approached them.
"We have to quickly go in and treat the wound" Sophia said.
Yarren nodded and alternated with Sophia to carry him, passing through the cave they entered into the Zimbe tribal area.
Although Yarren gave up her title as a Zimbe tribe princess but she was still accepted, let alone she brought Albert who was in need of help.
While they were busy with Albert Sophia choosing to breathe free air outside, soothe her heart so that her belief did not waver.
"You good?" asked Damien who was aware of something was disturbing his lover.
"Oh Damien" exclaimed Sophia who immediately threw herself into the arms of a cold vampire.
......................
As King Thomas had predicted, it would be difficult to destroy the Elves even in their own enclosure. The war that spent the night was won by the Elves after King Thomas gave the order to retreat at dawn.
War-induced debris strewn everywhere, the pungent smell of blood tempted the flies to alight. Siphon off any piece of body, be it a foot, hand, head or organ that is peddled along the way.
Ursula stared proudly from the top of the balcony of her palace, although she suffered a loss but her soldiers won with little sacrifice.
Immediately ordered that all the carcasses be cleaned and burned, so that all the corners saw thick black smoke with the smell of roasted ivory.
"Your Majesty, all the people who fled to the earthen burrow are safe. We can rebuild the soldiers to increase guard" Cheet reported on his return from monitoring the situation.
"No need for Cheet, they're not going to attack us anytime soon."
"Then what should we do now?" tanyakanya.
"Enough and wait for the Rider to come here by himself" he said with conviction.
Staring far past the forest before his eyes he was sure that the sign would soon appear, and the time came that the power itself would come out.
Through the depressed heart then a large creature of gallant pus will fly in the air, spreading its majesty until all creatures duck to worship.
Its wings, which have no feathers but scaly gold, will overshadow those who are ready to become servants, it is the day that the dragon comes out of its nest with the Rider on its head.
