The Fate of the First Hero of Light
I am standing next to a heap of dead women. The Knight has the sultan in a chokehold. I kill his wives one by one. The are added to the heap.
"Not this one then." I snap her neck and cast her onto the heap.
"Halfur bring the children." "Yes, Warchief!" "Knight do not kill him by mistake."
"GEIR DO NOT BE ALARMED! HE WILL SUFFER MUCH, BEFORE I GIVE HIM THE MERCY OF DEATH!"
The sultan is a short round man. He has soiled his pants multiple time. I am looking to find the one person he cares for the most. I will kidnap that person, while he is begging for them to be saved, I will force him to comply with my demands. The Knight will leave a part of his forces behind, we will then send the rest of his forces to squash the tribes expansion in the south.
Then finally will we rescue Zelda.
When the war is over I will negotiate terms so ridiculous. The sultan will only own the deserts that are in his domain.
He is sobbing know. I must be getting close. I pick up a little boy. I lift him up with my hand grasping his neck from behind, I squeeze him tightly. He is gasping for air.
"ANYONE EXCEPT HIM! Ugggghhhhhh..." The Knight is choking him. He wet his pants.
"Who is this child? I was going to kill him anyway. You can at least greet him before he dies."
"NOOO! PLEASE HAVE MERC..."
"KNIGHT WAIT!"
The Knight is so angry. He pick up the Sultan and throws him on the floor. I just hear bones break. The Knight has good reason to be as furious as he is. His fellow country men were being sold as slaves. If he kills the Sultan I could not blame him. If the Sultan dies our campaign will take much longer. His forces will be split. They will rally behind each one of the princes. We would have to kill them one by one. We have been fighting for three mooncycles now.
"GEIR I!"
"Knight he was going to die either way. If you avenged your countries men now or later. It would have happened without fail."
"GEIR.."
The Sultan is still twitching.
"Call Ayen!""Yes, Warchief." An elderly Tribes person enters the room.
"Heal the fat man." The other soldiers are laughing at him.
He is healed. I go to and whisper something to him. "NOOOO! I WILL DO ANYTHING. PLEASE DO NOT HARM HIM!" I move so fast between the Knight and the Sultan. The Knight's gauntlet hits me with force. I fly many paces, I disappear into the shadow of the room. The sounds are heard of the many expensive decorations in the throne room breaking into many pieces as I fly into them. He broke two of my ribs. The sultans head would have looked the same as when you dropped a large fruit from the castles tower, if he was punched by the Knight.
"GEIR I APOLOGIZE I WILL BE CALM FROM NOW ON!"
""Calm!" Knight I cannot wait to pull him apart!"
"YES, GEIR YOU ARE RIGHT! FREDERICK."
"YES, SIR!"
"TAKE A QUARTER OF THE MEN. YOU WILL BE STATIONED HERE.""YES, SIR!"
"Sultan if you want your boy to be safe, listen to the shiny men's orders." The soldiers are laughing again.
"Knight what are your plans?"
"SIR RAOLIN!"
"YES, SIR!"
"TAKE OUR TROOPS SUPPRESS THE SOUTHERN TRIBES."
"SIR GEIR AND MYSELF! WILL HAVE TO ATTEND TO A MOST URGENT MATTER!"
"SIR?"
"I CAN SPEAK NO MORE! THIS IS OF GREAT IMPORTANCE TO THE FUTURE OF OUR NATION!"
"YES, SIR WE LEAVE IMMEDIATELY!"
"Sir Hunfrey what should we do?!" asks my Tribes people.
"FOLLOW SIR RAOLIN'S ORDERS AS IF THEY WERE MINE!" "Yes, Sir Hunfrey!"
"Let us go Knight."
We reach a large mountain, we follow the path leading up to the summit.
"Knight where is the Fire Mage?"
"..."
"I see."
We reach the peak. When I see the castle. I starting laughing so hard, I almost have to crawl the last few distances to the top.
"BAHAHAHAHA!" the Knight laughs
The castle is shaped like a giant skull . The wooden drawbridge is inside the skulls mouth.
"Knight could Zelda still use her hand clay. When you saw her last?"
"YES, GEIR WHY DO YOU ASK?"
"Zelda is not the same weak damsel in distress we knew those many suncycles ago. She could have escaped here immediately."
"GEIR WHAT DID YOU SAY!?"
"Knight she knows Dark Magic spells. She can cast a portal spell, she could leave here and return to the Kingdom in one instant."
"GEIR THAT CANNOT BE TRUE!"
"Knight there is one reason that I can give you that it is true."
"WHAT IS IT GEIR?"
"Her hand clay is produced by her body not by magic. Even through my best efforts could I not rid her hands of those dreadful mouths."
"I SEE GEIR WHAT DOES ALL MEAN?"
"We will have to take her by force."
"GEIR I COULD NEVER HARM HER MAJESTY!"
"Knight how many people have suffered because of her furlough? You have seen the slaves at the western kingdom. Who is responsible for their sufferings?"
"YES, GEIR YOU ARE RIGHT! THE QUEEN MUST PROTECT THE PEOPLE!"
"Knight let us first hear her excuses. If she tries to flee, I will incapacitate her."
"INCAPACITATE GEIR!?"
"I will break her legs."
"VERY WELL IF SHE REALLY HAS BEEN HERE, WHILE THE WAR WAS BEING WAGED AND WE DISCOVER THAT SHE DID NOT AID THE PEOPLE. I WILL EXCECUTE HER!"
"I had hoped you would not think so."
"WHY WOULD YOU SAY THAT GEIR!"
"Your code of honour is black and white there is no grey. If Zelda does not give you word for word the answers you seek. Then she is dead."
"GEIR..."
"Knight believe in me please."
"GEIR TELL ME WHEN, THEN I WILL RESTRAIN MYSELF!"
"Thank you Knight."
"Let us enter Castle Brain-Stem!" We move with speed to enter the castle. We reach the closed drawbridge before I can even cast my ice magics. A silver flash and a rusted blade passes me. The wooden bars of the closed gate, shatter into fire wood. The alarm bell is rung.
Many different warriors enter the courtyard, some look like beasts.
"WHERE IS ZELDA!"
Someone exits from one of the tower doors. It is a blue painted man with a skeleton mask. "Myah! She is right there." A wooden door on the ground floor opens. A hooded figure exits. "YOUR MAJESTY IS THAT YOU?" "Yes, sir Hunfrey but I am no longer the Queen. I work for Lord Skeleton!" I kick her so hard on the chest she flies back into the door she came out off. The sounds of broken pottery are heard inside.
"GEIR PLEASE CALM YOURSELF!"
"Knight I apologize."
"MUST I RATHER GO?" I show the Knight my left arm.
"I SEE! COME FIGHT US FIENDS!"
The beasts attack us. I am so angry at recent events, I beat them to death with my fists.
"GEIR IS IT FULL?"
"Yes, Knight I will go now."
"UNDERSTOOD!"
I enter the broken room. She is not here, I walk the castles inside rooms. I freeze the inhabitants and the doors of the rooms I entered through. The servants here are the same type as the Lizards I fought at the Dark Elf's realm. I show them some of the signs I learnt, to try and communicate. They do not respond. They have been badly abused. They avoid making any contact or communication, they do not want to be punished later. I show them my crystals can freeze and break without harming the objects inside. They are still scared I encase them.
"How will Zelda explain all this? What reason will she give me before I enact my cruelties upon her?!
I am almost at the top of the tower where the blue man with the skeleton mask was. I push open the door. A white bird is flying towards me. IT IS A CLAY BIRD!
"KATSU!"
My arm is broken in multiple places. My parka saved me from the explosion's burns. I can barely close my hand. I will not be able to use Great Father Houzmas's curse now. I am kicked with force. I form a ball I am rolling. NOW. I push with my hand on the ground, I turn in the air and land on both feet. The skeleton masked man attacks me with a longsword. I dodge the slash. I touch him on his shoulder, I go to freeze him, my magic cannot be transferred?
"I told him all your secrets." "Do you know of Dafur and the Snake person?" "What if I do?" "Zelda choose how much you want to suffer 3, 4 or 5 days?" "Lord Skeleton is going to kill you now.."
I have never kicked a person as hard as this. The bookcase where Zelda flied into fell over. Luckily for Zelda there was a secret room behind it, otherwise her broken body would have been permanently documented into a large book. "MY QUEEN! FEEL MY WRATH YOU BUMBLING BOOB! MYAH!"
I am so angry. I feel a throbbing on my forehead. "PREPARE YOURSELF SKELETON!" I see his knees become weak out of fear. My right arm burnt my parka off. The magical runes producing black flames at I hit him again and again.
Time passes...
His arms have stopped moving they are hanging limply. Still my rage is compelling me to hit him.
"geir...geir...geir...geir...GEIR!"
"WHAT!?"
"I HAVE HER MAJESTY! GEIR LET US LEAVE!"
"WHERE IS SHE I AM GOING RIP ALL HER LIMBS OFF!"
"EEEEIIIIIII SIR HUNFREY!"
I turn around. I do not even have time for torture. I will just rip out her throat!
A silver gauntlet touches my shoulder. The Knight shakes his head side to side. I unleash my rage on the dead skeleton man's broken body and punch him with all my fury. There is black blood everywhere.
"I feel much better thank you Knight."
"ZELDA?!"
"YES, GEIR!"
"MAKE A PORTAL TO THE DWARVEN REALM NOW!"
"I CANNOT MY MAGICS WERE STOLEN!"
"AAAAAGGHHHHHHH!" I punch a wall so hard the stones are shaking. There is a rumbling the tower is shaking.
IT IS GOING TO COLLAPSE! "RUN!" We run down the spiral staircase I trip and start rolling. I hit the knight he starts falling Zelda is in his arms. She is ejected, she lands on my rolling body and like a toy carriage using me as the wheel rides me till we reach the end. We jump out of the tower and start running as far as we can.
The shaking sounds stop. The tower is only hanging slightly skew and only four stones have fallen down. The mood is ready for one of my silly sayings.
I just move inside, I am so angry. I get the slaves and servants. They are shackled to a chain. We start moving.
"KNIGHT"
"GEIR! WHY ARE YOU UPSET?"
"WHERE IS THE FIRE MAGE?"
"HE WAS BANISHED TO THE EASTERN REALM!"
"No, how ca.."
"BE QUIET!"
"KNIGHT TAKE THESE PEOPLE TO THE DWARVEN REALM AND TAKE THE CHILD BACK TO THE CAPITOL!"
"GEIR WHAT OF THE SOUTHERN CAMPAIGN AND THE SULTAN?!"
"I WILL BE BACK SHORTLY!"
"UNDERSTOOD!"
I am carrying the Fire Mage's unconscious black and blue body. He is tightly bound to a wooden frame of a backpack. I am heading towards the Capitol. I went all the way out there to find him. When I arrived he was back chatting me. I beat him till he was almost dead. Then I beat all his clansmen, the other clans around them was punished as well.
CHILDREN! I leave for only a few mooncycles and then the Kingdom falls apart. I am going to beat Zelda next. Then I will beat each Dwarf as well.
One mooncycle later...
Dwarfs trying to act tough. I beat each and every one. Aunt Hurmihilda and Uncle Thandall tried to fight me back! I beat them even more severely. The Elders can be glad I could not break the massive stone wedge they put in front of the justice halls. I will beat them the next time I see them. I already punished everyone in my House, my father, my mother, Grandmother and the brats as well. Who do I still need to beat?! Maybe I should beat Zelda twice. Getting caught up in an another dimension spell. How stupid can you be!? I should go check if Gerrick is at the castle. He has been hiding from me. I will not forget!
I enter the Royal Castle. People are running everywhere.
"IT IS GEIR FLEE!""HELP ME GOD!""YOUR MAJESTY SAVE US!"
"GEEERRRRIIIICCKKK WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"Please Sir Geir let us be reasonable, they attacked me when I was not looking."
"ENOUGH WITH YOUR EXCUSES BULLSHIT! FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
I drop the blue and black unconscious Knight on the floor.
"ZELDA WHERE ARE YOU?!"
"EEEEEIIIIIIII! GEIR PLEASE YOU ALREADY HIT ME!"
"I ASKED YOU WHERE YOU ARE! NOT YOUR PERSONAL PROBLEMS!"
"GEIR I AM IN THE THRONE ROOM!"
I beat the Royal Guards first. They seem healed. They want to run but their bodies are so sore they cannot move.
I push open the doors to the throne they almost fly free from the hinges.
"WHERE IS BARTEL AND RENFERD!?" "GEIR NOOOOO! DO NOT HURT ME AGAIN!""BE QUIET ZELDA! WHERE ARE THEY!?"
"THEY ARE AT THE BARRACKS!"
"KNIGHT DID I PUNISH YOU ALREADY?!FIRE MAGE WHEN DID I BEAT YOU?"
"YES, SIR GEIR!""YOU HIT ME AT MY HOME. PLEASE GEIR NO MORE!"
"Please Geir see reason. Let us be calm for now."
"REASON! CALM! I AM NOT EVEN GONE FOR A FULL SUNCYCLE! THEN THE KINGDOM DESCENDS INTO CHAOS AND RUIN!"
"IF YOU WANT ZELDA I CAN BEAT YOU CALMLY AND REASONABLY AGAIN IF YOU WANT?"
"NOOOOOOO, GEIR I THINK I SAW RENFERD!"
"WHERE ZELDA?"
"HE RAN DOWN THE OPPOSITE STAIRWAY!"
"WHAT DID YOU SAY!? RENFERD COME HERE FACE YOUR PUNISHMENT"
Geir exits the room kicking the doors free from their hinges.
"YOUR MAJESTY RENFERD WAS NOT THERE..
"Sir Hunfrey I once read a strategy, it said "To fool your enemies, you must first fool your friends." It was a necessary tactic that I had to deploy."
"WHERE IS HE? THE STAFF SAID THEY DID NOT SEE HIM! WHERE ARE YOU HIDING HIM?! KNIGHT WHERE DID HE GO?"
"IT WAS AS HER MAJESTY SAID! HE MUST HAVE GIVEN YOU THE SLIP!"
"REALLY! I AM GOING TO BEAT HIM TWICE AS HARD, AS WHAT I WAS GOING TO WHEN I FIND HIM! ARE YOU LYING TO ME? IF YOU DID I WILL PUNISH YOU AGAIN! WERE YOU LYING TO ME?"
"NO, GEIR!" "NO!" "ABSOLUTELY NOT!"
"I SEE RENFERD SHOW YOURSELF!"
Geir exits the other exit kicking the doors free from the hinges.
"Forgive us Sir Renferd.""Your Highness it was a necessary sacrifice." "Sir Izdryn." "SIR RENFERD I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER YOUR SACRIFICE!"
"Is Geir here?"
"YOUR LADYSHIP!"
"Shhhhhh Sir Hunfrey I fear for my life."
" Your Ladyship what do you mean?"
"At night he twists and turns in his sleep. He is mumbling, making lists in his head counting who he has not yet punished. I fear he might wake up so enraged and then strike me again!"
"Princess Teela is this not going to far. I hear the whole Dwarven Realm has fallen victim to his wrath. Who will he strike next?"
"Sir Izdryn he has almost finished here in the Capitol. There are only a lucky few, who are giving him the slip."
"Teela what has enraged him so?"
"Zelda that we could be ruined so easily."
"But Princess Teela disaster can befall a kingdom at any moment."
"Sir Izdryn you are correct, but that the Minister could fool us was the last straw."
"YOUR LADYSHIP...do you mean by that?"
"Geir would have seen through him, the moment he entered this room."
"Still Teela he cannot be so angry at us?"
"We did not follow the plans that he had laid out for us, in case of a disaster."
"PLANS!"
"Shhhhh be quiet. His plans were hidden from us. To protect us."
"Princess Teela please explain."
"He had distributed plans to the servants of what to do in an emergency. Unluckily the ones he trusted were all captured."
"Do you mean Sir Gerrick?"
"Yes, him and many others."
"Why not tell the other staff?"
"They have no power. A cook cannot fight a great enemy. So he trusted the Knights he deemed worthy."
"Still why hide this from us?"
"Because he cannot trust us."
"Surely that is not true your Ladyship. Geir trusts me."
"Sir Hunfrey look how easily we were defeated."
"Still Princess Teela..."
"In the other world it was the same. He made plans that even if the people of that world would destroy themselves. Someone could save the world itself."
"Teela do you really thinks he does not trust us?
Loud foot steps are heard. Geir enters the room. His face is red there are veins pumping on his forehead.
"GRANDMOTHER! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? WHERE ARE YOU HIDING THE ELDERS?"
"GEIR PLEASE LISTEN! THEY WILL DIE IF YOU STRIKE THEM AGAIN!"
"I WILL PUNISH THEM!"
"ZELDA!"
"GEIR!"
"YOU WERE LYING TO ME! RENFERD WAS AT HOME TODAY! GRIT YOUR TEETH! KNIGHT, FIRE MAGE AND GRANDMOTHER!"
"GEIR""YES"PLEASE GEIR NO!"
"YOU ARE ACCOMPLICES PREPARE TO BE PUNISHED!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
Finish.
