Chapter 11: Overthrowing the Emperor
The light beam that turned Luz into the titan was seen all across the island. Eda saw the light and knew what was happening. "I sure hope everyone is going to come crawling to me for help after seeing that light," said Eda. Eda did warn everyone about the same light beam that just occurred.
Meanwhile back at the castle, Emperor Belos didn't know what was going on. "Hunter," said Belos. "I know you saw the same light as I did. Can you please find out what caused it and if it's a wild witch, bring them straight to me?"
"Yes uncle," answered Hunter as he went off to the source. He was walking for a while on track to where he thought the light was. He caught up to Luz and Amity but hid so they didn't see him. "Ah ha," said Hunter to himself. "So it was the human and the youngest Blight. But why and how did they do this?" He ran back to the castle knowing he won't be able to win against the two girls. He ran right into the throne room. "Uncle," he shouted. "It was the human."
"why didn't you bring her to me," questioned Belos.
"They looked different," answered Hunter. Belos didn't take the they part in Hunter's answer confidently.
"They," questioned Belos. "What do you mean they?"
"She was not by herself," Hunter replied. "One of the Blights was with her."
Just has Hunter finished, the castle began to shake. "What was that," questioned Belos.
Hunter looked out the window to where he said, "It's the human and the Blight. I heard them say they came to overthrow you."
"Hunter gather the scouts," ordered Belos. "Kikimora, take me to the safe room." Both did as they were told. The scouts lined up like a wall blocking the entrance only for them to be blown away by a powerful spell Luz did. Hunter looked shocked but he was the last line of defense.
"Surrender now, or face petrification human," ordered Hunter.
"I don't think that's necessary," replied Luz. "Also I have a name you know and it's Luz."
"Then it's a fight you want," questioned Hunter.
"Ok," answered Luz. Hunter noticed Amity was gone and for some reason he was winning the fight.
"Oh, where's your friend," questioned Hunter.
Just as he said that, Amity appeared out of nowhere saying, "Right here." She cast an abomination spell and locked Hunter in it. He knew that he was going to lose but had to try.
"Maybe you can be helpful," said Luz. She cast a spell circle that was purple. This indicated oracle magic. The spell hit Hunter which made him escape the abomination trap but was he really free? "Now tell me Hunter," questioned Luz. "Where is Belos?"
Without realizing it, Hunter gave her the answer. Luz thanked his answer and offered him to be her 3rd in command. The 2nd was Amity of course. Hunter agreed because he was now mind controlled. Luz and Amity made there way to the safe room. When they got there Luz said, "Oh Belos. I'm coming in." Just then the safe room door flew open living Kikimora and Belos in horror. Luz cast the same spell that she did to Kikimora. Kikimora then left the room to Luz's orders. "Amity," questioned Luz. "Why don't you sit this one out? I got this." Amity agreed and left the room. "Now it's just you and me," said Luz.
"You can't defeat me," said Belos. "I have the power of the titan."
"The titan was alive yes," said Luz. "But they merged with me. I'm the titan now. Hahahaha." This gave Belos a shock
"It can't be," said Belos.
"That's right Belos," said Luz. "Or should I say Philp?" Another shock from Belos occurred. "Yes, I know who you really are," Luz continued.
"What do you want," questioned Belos.
"I want you to step down as emperor and make me the new one," answered Luz. Both Luz and Belos knew that the other won't agree unless one messes up. Belos was silent. "I can take your silence as a no," said Luz. "Very well, then I will take the title by force." Luz ran right up to Belos and punched him a few feet back. Belos didn't have time to react, so he took another punch but this time was a blast of fire. He quickly stopped the fire but another attack was ready. "What's wrong," questioned Luz sarcastically. "Can't fight back?" Belos finally got up and managed to get a hit on Luz.
"I will take you down," said Belos. "Even if it means death." This gave Luz an idea.
"I won't need to kill you," said Luz. "I just need to weaken you to steal your magic." Belos was weakened by this to where he couldn't stand. Belos was losing the fight. "I'll give you one last chance," said Luz. "Surrender your reign or face death."
"Very well," said Belos. "You may have the throne but I know you will kill me anyway and steal my artificial magic."
"Look at you learning," said Luz as she was going for the finishing blow.
"But there's one thing you don't know about me," said Belos.
"And what might that be," questioned Luz.
"I'm way more advanced then you," replied Belos. He said that as he spun his staff and struck it to the ground. This made him disappear in front of Luz.
"No, exclaimed Luz. "I wanted his magic."
"It's ok," said Amity. "There's still more out there."
"Why are you so right," questioned Luz. Amity blushed by this. "Now come on," Luz continued. "This event was televised just as I intended. We must address the island." Luz made and Amity made their way up to the castle roof. "Citizens of the island," Luz said loudly. "I'm now the empress of the island. The titan you thought was dead is me. If you disobey me, there will be consequences. Thank you." Luz turned away from the crowd and went back inside the castle. "Come Amity," Luz said. "We still have work to do. Hahahaha, hahahaha, hahahaha."
Meanwhile, Eda saw everything at the owl house. She was able to start a rebellion. They began to work on a way to save Luz and Amity. Just then, Belos appeared in front of them. "I've found you owl lady," said Belos. "I'm not here to harm you or your rebellion. I'm here to help. I may know a way to keep everyone safe."
Things are starting to heat up. Luz now in control of the island. Belos helping Eda? What will the rebellion do? Find out in the next chapter.
