Lost in Unfamiliar worlds

Chapter 10 In the wrong hands

After that fight with the human Hunter wasted no time returning home, he flew through the orange evening sky on top of his staff. His boots hit the ground and the red bird quickly tucked its self away under his hood, Hunter smiled then placed his mask over his face. He headed towards the castle, the guards at the entrance moving there spears aside. Then taking him by surprise, a pink frog snuck behind him and kicked him in the back knocking the golden guard to the ground.

"What the?" Hunter turned around confused as he glared through the mask at the pink frog aiming a sling shot at him.

"Wheres Anne?" The frog asked.

"Who?" Hunter replied, confused and dazed by the strange creatures sudden appearance. The frog didn't like that answer as a small stone bounced of his mask.

"I know you know her, you stole that box of her" the frog accused, pointing at the strange golden box he had taken from the strange girl earlier today. Before Hunter had a chance to question the frog, suddenly it launched its long sticky tongue at the box snatching it out of his hands. Quickly the frog jumped away, fleeing from the scene with Hunter quickly chasing after it.

"Hey! Give that back!" Hunter cried, as he reached out to grab the frog.

Then a burst of purple liquid rushed past the golden guard stopping him in his tracks, sensing the danger the frog paused to look back only to be slammed into the ground by the incoming slime. The frog tried desperately to free himself from his gooey binds but it was a fruitless endeavor and he found himself being dragged to his feet. The caster walked past Hunter, a tall well groomed man, with dark skin, wearing a purple cape over his shoulder. He pushed his hand into the slime holding the frog still and slowly pulled out the music box.

"Darius! I had this under control!" Hunter yelled, annoyed by his sudden interference.

"Of course you did" Darius replied, then threw the box carelessly over his shoulder towards Hunter, to which he struggled to catch it. "I will escort this prisoner to the holding cells, you should bring that to Lord Belos" Darius said, then walked of into the castle dragging the frog behind.

Hunter did as he was told and made his way through the castle to Lord Belos private quarters, it was a place not many were allowed to enter but he was one of the few granted permission. Slowly the large heavy door opened, inside Lord Belos sat in his throne listing to his subordinate. He was a tall figure, he wore a large white cloak and a golden mask in the shape of a dear, his long grey hair hung down over his shoulders. Kikimora stood beside him, a small monster who served as the emperors advisor, her red skin matched her short fuse just like her green hair matched her envy for the golden guard.

"The portal door is nearing 70% completion, it shouldn't take to long now my lord, in other good news the Steve project seems to be going smoothly with only a 40% death ratio."

"That's good to hear Kikimora, Golden guard can I help you?" Lord Belos said, having noticed his presence.

Kikimora turned round glaring at the boy as he slowly entered the room. Hunter kneeled down and presented the box "My lord, I bring with me today a device from another world." Belos stood from his throne slowly accepting the box from Hunter, he looked it over, it had a unique design of amphibian creatures and three dimly lit gems on top. Lord Belos tried to open it but the box wouldn't budge no matter how hard he tried.

"Hmph, did you really think this trinket would please our Lord" Kikimora sniggered.

"I-I don't understand, she said it was used to get her here" Hunter explained, as he began to panic.

"Hunter" Belos said as he placed a firm hand on the boys shoulder "Tell me exactly where you got this from"

"I-I took it from a girl, she said it was used to get her here so I thought maybe you could find some use for it" Hunter explained.

Lord Belos removed his hand as he moved past the two, looking down at the box in his hand a sinister smile crept across his face hidden by the golden deer mask. "You've done well Golden Guard, for now go and rest, I can tell you've taken quite the beating, tomorrow I will require your services"

"You don't need to worry about me my lord, I'm ready to do whatever you need of me"

"You dedication is admirable golden guard but you would be useless to me if you were to pass out on the job due to exhaustion. Get some rest and then report to me in the morning, that is an order" Lord Belos said, in a firm tone which was not to be disobeyed.

"Ah-As you wish Lord Belos" Hunter said, then left the emperors quarters.

"You have something to say Kikimora?" Lord Belos said, retaking his seat on the throne and placing the box beside him.

"Of course not my lord, I would never dare to question your motives" she said, stumbling over her nerves.

"…Please Kikimora I value your opinion, speak freely"

"If you wish so My lord… I don't trust this thing my lord, or perhaps it is better to say, I don't trust not knowing where it came from" Kikimora said, glaring at the box.

"You think it may be dangerous?" Lord Belos asked.

"I think if this thing is from another world like the Golden guard said, then prehaps we should be weary of what could be able to cerate such a device" Kikimora warned.

For just a moment Lord Belos pondered on her words, if this box is able to do what he hoped it could then the question remains. Who created it and for what purpose? While his thoughts began to race a small smile began to spread across his face as he looked to his advisor. "Your words are full of wisdom as always Kikimora and they leave me with much to think about but for now let me reassure you. We have nothing to fear, for If anyone comes knocking on our doors with hostile intention then I will see that they face the titans wrath"
