The Rising Sun

17

A strong wind blew on me. A moment later, there was a smell of blood. Both of my hands slipped from the grasp of the Soldiers as they fell thumping with their heads apart.

Everything froze. Don't understand what's going on.

Some soldiers looked at each other. I blinked. Both of my hands chopped up my body so as not to collapse. A jolt lifted me into the air. I smell a scent I know well.

"What a creature it is" Shouted the Soldiers flabbergasted. I was on Curly's deck. He grew up to be the size of a polar bear. His eyes were red with saliva dripping between his teeth.

"Curly." I said I don't believe it. Why is he here. He was supposed to be with Lekky to protect Lekky.

Don't-don't...

One by one the soldiers of Commander Aljan collapsed quickly. They immediately sprawled lifelessly as soon as they touched the ground. The soldiers stared at each other. At such a time, Gererou charged forward with his troops.

"It's impossible" Claira said in fear as she realized what had happened.

"Daughter Yuki is Princess okay" Princess Magitha who escaped the check of the Warrior approached me. He helped me not to collapse. Tears filled his face.

"Don't worry. I'm fine"

"What happened ?" Princess Magitha asked confusedly watching the corpses drift apart. The smell of blood made me sick. The soldiers who escaped no one escaped. Everything falls.

"Lekky" I said trying to explain with just one sentence.

"Oh" Princess Magitha said as if not too surprised. There was understanding and relief in his eyes.

Finally, Lekky showed his figure. He's still the same as before. No traces of any injury. Even everything seems normal. It was as if he had never been dying before. Both of his hands were covered in blood. He looked at Claira. Claira retreats. Her lips twitched at Lekky. There was a trace of fear in his eyes. He knew rightly, Lekky's Strength was much greater than it used to be when He still knew him. The pride shown earlier was gone from him.

"I can't believe this" Claira said. "How can you.."

"Your spies aren't good at fooling me. You should have trained him before you fed him to me"

Another army of more soldiers came. Commander Aljan stood at the front. He looked confident that he would win this battle. Princess Magitha bowed to take the sword from the hand of a soldier who had become a corpse.

I followed him later. As powerful as Lekky could not possibly be He could quickly kill them all. We have to defend ourselves.

"Give up, you are all surrounded" Commander Aljan ordered in a loud voice.

Lekky's forward. He attacks. Claira ran to save herself. I chased after her while Princess Magitha was behind me.

There was a cry from the lives lost in this battle.

I kept running, chasing Claira.

Claira turned around abruptly when we were already away from the battle area. He smiled triumphantly. Made me realize. We got into a trap.

Another army showed up. Besieging Us. Me and Princess Magitha turned their backs on each other in a protective manner.

"Pray that the kingdom will kill you quickly so that you do not feel any torment" Princess Magitha replied loudly.

"You were so afraid of us that you had to prepare this many troops to attack Us"

"I assume that's your answer..All kill 'em" Shouted Claira annoyed.

The soldiers advance. I'm paddling my sword. The pain in my back made it hard to move. But I have to fight. I must protect Princess Magitha.

I managed to kill some of the Soldiers. Princess Magitha fell down while fighting a Soldier. I moved to protect her. I don't want any more death to follow me. Quite the last Prince Sera. I don't want to lose anyone anymore.

A slash was felt on my back as I plopped down on Princess Magitha's back.

"Princess Yuki" Princess Magitha immediately hugged me when I collapsed. "Daughter Yuki..."

"Run...Run Princess..." I'm lirih. I don't feel capable enough to protect her. He's gotta get out of here.

Princess Magitha shouted. She holds her hair pulled by Claira. I kicked him to the ground. Princess Magitha was forced to stand away from me. Following the pull of Claira.

"Stop your stupid drama. Guards killed him"

"Princess Claira, but this woman is the future queen of the land Garduete. If we kill him, then there will definitely be a great war with the land of Garduete" said a guard reminded.

"Nobody will know He died because of us. It would have been more helpful, after all, if Garduete had attacked Argueda for thinking he was killed by the kingdom. That way will smooth Prime Minister Borendo's plan to overthrow King Jafar"

The guard seemed doubtful.

"Wait what else" Shouted Claira annoyed. "Quick kill him"

The guard came up to me lying on the ground covered in blood. I stared at the sword that was raised above me. Sharp shiny.

I've been through a lot of things that have kept me safe until now. But will this be my end.

Princess Magitha shouted trying to escape. He kept calling my name. Claira roughly pulled her hair.

Swords swung.

I closed my eyes. Prepare to accept my death.

But...

An arrow shot straight. Throat through the guard.

The guard collapsed near me. Wiggling in pain and then remaining motionless. I glanced at the direction the arrow was coming from and was shocked. Found Queen Warda with Prince Riana and his noble friends. They're bringing troops behind him. The prince holds a bow. He shot the arrow.
