After what seemed like what could have been a few days to him, still not fully able to have full concept on the flow of time here. He had been able to master and have full control over the black fog and the creatures that can be called. Sitting back in his own beast, finding them quite adorable now and shockingly comfy, he talks with Morpheus.
"How long in total have I been away from the castle?"
Morpheus shifts a bit in his own beast,
"Let's see you have been away for just about 5 years, mortal time that is. Here in about 2 more months you will have been away for 5 years."
Cedric leans his head into his beast, contemplating on his plans. Everything has fallen into place. Perfectly into place, letting out a slow sigh.
"So what do I do if I want to leave, or return too, as you call it, our home?"
Chuckling at Cedric he grabs a something out of his pocket, tossing it over to him. Catching it with both hands he opens to reveal a key. It was a heavy metal key; there was a large circler with what looked like a glowing orb in the middle leading down to a three pointed key. Looking back over raising an eyebrow,
"What do I use a key for when we are floating in space?"
"Stand up, picture a door, place that key in the door and unlock it. The gate way will open to where you want to go. To get back place it in any door and picture our lovely home to return simple as that."
Standing up, wanting to test this out, he thought of his parent's cottage door. It appeared in from of him, placing the key in he turned back before opening it nodding over to him, pushing the door open.
Appearing on the other side of his parent's door, a bit confused for the fact he didn't close the door. Just appearing there on the other side, shrugging it off when he noticed both his parent's sitting in their living room now staring at him in shock. Glancing out the window the moon was high already, looking back over at them he smiled.
"Mummy you would be so proud of your little dark child."
Her eyes sparkled running up to him embracing him in a hug, returning the hug she then pulled him over to sit down on the couch.
"Oh Cedykins! Your back, how did everything go? Tell mummy everything!"
Sitting down he turned to look at his very disgruntled father, he returned his gaze with a simple relaxed smirk which made his father shiver. He had gotten so use to his son backing away from him but now, he seems different to him.
"Well mummy, I was at the hall for only 3 years. We will say I had gotten special treatment by some higher ups and well,"
Looking straight at his father when saying this,
"I am a Deity."
The shock on his father face was the best, his mother was hugging him again fully understanding what all happened. Cedric went into more detail though about everything to just rub it in more that he was more powerful than his father would ever be. Than any magic wielder would ever be, his father stood up when he heard the name of the Deity.
"There is no way that the Deity Morpheus would take a shining to you."
Without saying anything Cedric stood walking across the room, ordering them to stay where they were.
"If you do not believe me than father, take a look at my power."
The both stood and walked away farther when they watched the undeniable black fog appears from around his feet, feeling the darkness coming from it.
"Cedric that is enough,"
His father snapped at him, he only glared at his father.
"I take orders from no one, I have the power to rule the world if I wish. No one can stop me, I am a Deity."
Knowing this to be true his father backed down, unable to do anything to stop his son now. Dispersing the black fog he went back over to sit on the couch. His mother sat next to him holding his hands in her own.
"Mummy is so very proud of you; you have proven to be even greater than I already knew you were."
"Thank you mummy, I will be leaving at first light to head back to the castle to start my plans. I will make this world ours."
"Oh Cedykins, mummy already has the world. I have loved and been loved who I am and I have amazing children. Now I have a Deity for a son, I don't think my life could get any more perfect."
He chuckled and hugged her,
"You both should sleep; tomorrow I shall be obtaining my world."
Watching the sky start to change color he turns to look at his parent's house knowing they are still asleep. Walking out of there house he shuts the door not making a sound. Walking away from their retirement home and into the forest he wanted to make sure he was away before porting to the village. Being in the Village now he waited for people to start to stir before sending a letter to the Royal Castle about his return and that he awaited a carriage to bring him back. Even though he was a Deity he had a plan and gaining entrance with permission was crucial to this plan. The morning was in full swing when a flying carriage landed to bring him back to the castle, getting in he sat down across from a young woman. Not sure who this woman was he looked at her as the carriage started to take off, it clicked to him. This woman was, Sofia. His eyes grew wide not understanding why she was here, was she just an illusion again. Her chuckle caught him off guard,
"Are you surprised to see me? I asked father to let me escort you back, I've been learning magic from the students who have come to learn how to work in a castle."
Relaxing knowing that this was the real Sofia, knowing she wouldn't just pounce on him any second. A part of him wanted to frown at the thought of not having her on him anymore but shook his head when she was trying to get his attention.
"Mr. Cedric?"
"Oh yes, sorry I was lost in thought for a moment. What is it you need Princess?"
Giggling she repeated what she had said,
"I said you look different but the same, I am not sure what it is but it's interesting."
He raised an eyebrow and crossed his arms leaning back into the carriage, the way she said that last part made him wonder if she meant something else.
"How may I ask that you find me interesting?"
Shrugging her shoulders she was about to say something but the carriage landed than, the short flight from the village to the castle over. The steward opened the carriage announcing their return. It was only the Royal family and what he assumed was the replacement sorcerer while he was away. Walking up he bowed to them,
"Welcome back Cedric, we can't wait to hear how things went."
King Rolland said in a happy tone, he smirked knowing he wouldn't be happy for much longer. None of them will.
"If you wish we could go to the throne room and I can tell you all about it."
"That sounds marvelous, I know even the children would love to hear about it."
Rolland ushered them all inside, Cedric walked behind them listening to them all making small talk while walking to the throne room. After the family sat down in their seats Cedric stood close up to them, smirking.
"In my years away I have learned a great deal even more so than I originally thought possible."
Rolland beamed at the thought of having the best Royal Sorcerer in the world.
"These powers I have obtained have made what I have worked for possible, now. Rolland, I wish well not wish more like demand that you bow down to your new King."
Rolland happy glow faded fast and he stood up quick,
"How dare you say such things, I am your King!"
"You are no longer my or anyone's King."
"Guards, Sees him, for betrayal to the crown!"
Cedric laughed as the guards came to surround him,
"Oh I so wished that you were going to play it the hard way,"
Looking at all the faces the black fog appeared around his feet again, expanding out just enough to get the guards, hearing to room fill with screams before they all were covered in the fog before silence filled the room before each of the guards made a thud sound to the ground. Hearing the gasps of the Royal family,
"Are, they dead?"
"No they are not Princess Amber, the simply sleep, frozen in time. Like that lovely fairy tale of sleeping beauty, they just don't get to awake like she did."
Taking steps over the bodies that lie on the floor he walks closer.
"Now will you all bow to me or will you join them in their sleep?"
Rolland stiffened looking at his family,
"If I bow to you will my family be safe?"
"Father, you can't be serious?"
"Amber,"
Rolland snapped, knowing that the safety of his family came first. Not knowing what all Cedric had obtained from the years he was gone.
"If you promise me that my family will be safe."
"King's Honor,"
Cedric smirked, watching Rolland walk down from his throne kneeling down on one knee bowing to him.
