The Fate of the First Hero of Light
It is night time.
My Grandmother has her traditional parka on, it is stained with blood. The white parka is very visible in the full moon.
"Unfortunately." my wife to be Vivi the Dark Elf has escaped.
After much difficulty, I was able to assist her to escape to freedom, without even glancing at each other.
She disappeared.
My Grandmother knows that capturing her in the day time would be a crime.
Also that killing all the police might cause problems for her.
That is why we are tracking her.
My Grandmother had been an exceptional hunter even when young, she could kill even the mightiest beasts with her large butcher sword. First tiring them out, then killing them methodically.
Uncle Thandall said it was a sight to behold, a little girl dragging a mighty snowbeast's corpse.
Unluckily for the Dark Elf my Grandmother is tracking her.
Worst still I have to help!
My Grandmother is moving in and out of the shadows.
As you would feel if you had seen a specter and it disappeared, it feels the same, as if she had not even been there.
We have to cross a great road there are a at least 20 police officers.
After the assassination attempt, the authorities have been deployed. My Grandmother starts walking in to the moonlight. "Grandmother they will see us." I see her waving from the other side of the street. "COME GEIR!" I feel my stomach get upset, I am going to jail for sure.
I look to road, all the police officers are laying on the ground unconscious.
"That is Princess Teela for you!"
"EEEEEEEEHHHHHH" I scream like a child would, when they see a bug that upsets them."
"Geir son, you have to be aware of your surroundings."
"Uncle Thandall!"
"Yes Geir son. Look I'm going to help you. I'm sure you do not want to be married so young?"
I want to start crying "Uncle Thandall."
"But me boy you have to promise me. You will be wary of the ladies from now on?"
"Yes Uncle Thandall I promise."
"Leave everything to me little man."
After much talking had Uncle Thandall calmed down my Grandmother.
We returned and arrived at the estate.
Finally I felt as if my life could return to normal and I would be a school boy again.
This is the worst.
I'm standing on a high podium.
I am wearing my Great-Grandfathers oversized traditional parka jacket AGAIN! Ancient ancestors! Why did the snowbeast headdress have had to been destroyed in the assassin's attack on Queen Zeldalyn!
I am facing a crowd of at least 3000 people. Luckily Uncle Thandall is next to me on my right, unluckily the Dark Elf Vivi is next to me on my left.
Queen Zeldalyn is handling out medals of bravery, to the citizens who had fought in the battle. To protect the people gathered at the coronation of her Majesty the Queen.
As I had been part of the battle, I was recommended for a medal, also The Dwarf, the Dark Elf, two others and of course my Grandmother were chosen.
As my Grandmother had killed 90% of the assassins.
She would have been given an even greater honour. But when my Grandmother had received the letter of invitation. She was laughing so loudly, tears were flowing. She said she had been stressed lately and just needed to blow of some steam.
She tore it up and threw it away.
She was going to tear up mine but Uncle Thandall stopped her. He said It would be a gesture of good faith, if I were to accept the award as the future leader of the Tulok Tribe. After much speculating she agreed.
Now I am here.
The Queen enters she walks past us. I can see she is not a Hume her ears are slightly different. The way she carries herself seems otherworldly, she is beautiful like something you would hear of in a child's fairy tale. Her dress is plain white silk. She has a strange amulet it is shaped like triangle and inside are three more triangles. One is at the top and two at the bottom. They are also forming an inverted triangle in the middle. She is wearing the Kingdom's Crown. I had heard she was coronated in a private ceremony. She is handing out the medals.
She puts one over Uncle Thandall's neck "Thank you your Majesty and congratulations on the coronation."
She smiles and nods, the Mighty Dwarf lets out a hearty laugh.
She reaches me and puts the medal over my neck. She smiles and grabs my hand to shake it, immediately I feel my arm reacting. The rune start to show. I feel bloodlust so intense, I want to run away. The Queens eyes are open wide, I can see she also feels the same.
I see a blade reach over her shoulder.
"Do not try my patience Zelda. Nor test my charity." That voice it is my Grandmothers.
Immediately the guards are on the podium.
The assistant "You will refer to..." He has not even finished speaking, he is totally encased in ice.
The guards move to attack.
My Grandmother lifts her hand. Instantly a solid wall of ice appears they are totally encased.
My Grandmother goes to close her hand.
"PRINCESS TEELA! NO!" Uncle Thandall shouts.
My Grandmother stops, she snaps her fingers the ice disappears, there is some snow left.
"Look at me Zelda." the Queen turns around slowly she is shaking.
"Do not anger me, little girl. I will break you so badly. You will wish the gods, would come and take your life. Do you understand?" The Queen nods.
The Queen puts the medal over my neck.
My Grandmother walks down the podium. The guards are so scared, they drop their weapons and some fall over.
Uncle Thandall lets out a hearty laugh "Just as wild as any snowbeast!" Everyone lets out a nervous laugh.
The Queen composes herself she gives her speech. We are invited to a private meal afterwards.
There are two people I do not know.
The one is a Knight in magnificent silver armor.
The other person has a wide brim pointed hat with the standard clothes of a Rogue and a white cloak with flame patterns on the bottom.
I go to greet them "Greetings my name is Claurilles Descarte Oddmund of House Domintus pleased to meet you. May I ask your names?"
Suddenly I feel the same feeling of disdain that my parents give me when they look at me.
"Was that beast family of yours?"
I snap
"Yes, at least she was fighting in the battle. Knight types like you like to talk tough. You were probably hiding under a table, then happened to pass a heap of assassins my Grandmother had killed and fabricated a story saying you had defeated them.
"YOU DARE IMPUGN MY HONOUR?!"
He moves to grab his sword I kick his knee from the side. He bends backwards, I grab a knife from the table aiming for his neck.
I want to kill him.
I feel embers around me and see sparks. The smell of sulphur. It is the mage he is casting a fire spell.
"HUME DO NOT WORRY HE WONT FINISH HIS SPELL! GET HIM!"
I hear the Dark Elf enchanting a spell.
I hear the cracking and popping in the air coming from where the other Mage is standing. Vivi is going to encase him in crystal.
"WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO SAVE YOUR LIFE OR KILL ME!"
All the while I'm moving to kill the Knight, I see the Knight smirk, he lifts me up and grabs me.
He is going to try and crush me, my body is still small, so it will not take much force.
Suddenly I see a mighty hand grab the Knight's head.
I fall on my head, my vision fades...
I wake up. I see the Dark Elf she looks concerned I know it is not for me. I stand up the room is destroyed. The Knight is in the corner, his body armor is bent inwards and face is completely covered in blood and his jaw is hanging loose. In the opposite corner, is the person who tried to cast the spell on me. He looks even worse! His clothes are ripped, I can see blood coming through them and his face is facing downwards. He looks completely limp. Blood is also dropping from his face to the ground. He has to be dead!
"VIVI WHATS HAPPENING? WHERE IS UNCLE THANDALL?" I think she is going to be upset because I used her name.
She explains that when Uncle Thandall came back from the cloakroom. He saw the Mage trying to cast a spell on me. He picked him up and threw him so hard into a table it shattered, then he grabbed the Knight and beat him so severely his armor bent.
The Queen has called the royal mages to heal them!
"Uncle Thandall where is he?"
The Dark Elf is shaking.
"He has gone to fetch your Grandmother."
"ANCIENT ANCESTORS SAVE US!"
Finish.
