AC: Took some time but it's done now thanks to Twitphase who motivate me.

I'll invent the method which a year passes in this story.

Second, minute, hour remain the same. They import it from the humans.

Day (24 hours) = Solar flow.

Week (7 days): Celeste moon.

Month and season is the same (91 days):

Spring = Floral season

Summer = Flame season

Fall = Colorful season

Winter = White season

4 seasons = 1 planetary flow

Planetary flow begins since existence of the creatures.

Story 1: Rescue of the desert king: Episode 2

Chapter 4: kidnaping and engaging pursuit

13 127 361 planetary flows: Floral season: Solar flow day 22, 00h03

3rd POV:

It was late. Ario and Seraphin are guarding the palace with the usual guard. As for now, nothing happen during the 3 days they were guarding. Ario then yawn and look at Seraphin who's still fully awake.

"Do you feel something?" Asks Ario.

"No…Not now." Says Seraphin.

"What do you mean not know?"

"I've feel something but it fade away…I think we must do our round now." Says Seraphin.

"You're right." Says Ario.

00h06

Theeb-Saar POV:

I suddenly open my eyes when I hear a sound. I quickly open my eyes and I saw intruders in my chamber. I didn't know which tribe they are but I knew I was in danger. One of them charges at me. I dodge it to the right.

"Granite ball!" I shout. I hit one of them and he want out cold. The next one hit my stomach with a punch and I grunt in pain. I took a step back and I count the remaining enemy, 3. Dammit, I don't stand a chance.

00h08

Ario POV:

We were moving closer to Theeb-Saar room. I didn't know why but Seraphin thought something happen. A guard was in front of us and he didn't let pass us.

"Sorry but we won't let you disturb Theeb-Saar sleep." Says the guard.

"We?" Says Seraphin. Seraphin was right. The guard was alone. Something is wrong here.

"What's happening?" I ask.

"I'm only here to do my duty." Says the guard.

Seraphin suddenly stand in front of the guard and put his arms on the front of the guard and put his energy at the mipedian mind. He lost consciousness.

"I don't know what happen to him but the king is in danger." Says Seraphin.

"Let's hurry!" I shout. We began to run at Theeb-Saar chamber. "What did you do to him?"

"I just use my energy to break something against him. I think his mind was control by something else. Be careful." Seraphin Says.

"I will." I answer.

When we finally reach his chamber we saw the door open. We enter in it and I shout in rage. We saw the chamber being a battlefield. Sadly, Theeb-Saar was gone. We fail.

00h13

We hurry outside and try to find any trace of the kidnapper. I saw the kidnapper and the king was put in a vehicle.

"Hurry!" I shout. We ran at their direction and I shout:

"Wind Slash!" I hit one of them when Seraphin attack the next one with his sword.

"You little-" He says but I attack him again.

"Come and get me." I say.

"Give up mipedian." Says one of them.

"Wh-." I stay silent at what I see. Seraphin is use as a hostage. The 2 others threaten him. I can saw that they were injured, but they manage to overpower him.

"If you don't want to lose him, you better surrender yourself and I'll let him live...maybe, if you don't take too much time." Says the creature when pointing his claw at my friends neck.

"...I'm sorry...Theeb-Saar." I say. I know Theeb-Saar would want to happen that way. I then say. "Alright, I'll let you go."

"Good." He says. He then throws Seraphin at me. I catch him and they took that time to escape.

"Dammit. Ario...I-"

"It's alright...We lost our king..." I say sadly.

"Maybe not...They can't escape us forever with this." He then shows a...tracer. He already explains to me that permitted humans to follow something anywhere it goes.

"Good. We better warn our princes and Bajar now." I say.

"There's no time to lose. They can find the tracer anytime. Let's do this and begin the pursuit right after this." Says Seraphin. I guess he feels guilty that they escape because of him.

01h30

We were at the throne room. Seraphin explains the situation while I prepare our team for the rescue. Vinta, Siado and Sobtjeck came into the room with me. I also warn the guards about our mission and they began the preparation. We already have our equipment and our mugic, but we need our new vehicle for that mission. The guards will prepare the vehicle.

"So Theeb-Saar his there for now?" Asks Bajar.

"Yes. He's moving to the passage as you call it." Says Seraphin.

"I don't think they'll stay here for long." Comment Tianne.

"Then we must begin the pursuit now." Says Siado.

"...Alright." Says Iflar. "Your squad will track them immediately. As for the rest of us, we must prepare ourselves for anything that might come to us. When the other tribes will know about father absence, they will attack us very fast. We must be ready for anything."

"Before you go, you still didn't say which tribe the attackers came from Ario." Says Bajar.

"That's the problem, I don't know which tribe, but I can clearly say they are not Daniens or Underworlders." Says Ario.

"And if they try and use the Passage, they are not Overworlders either." Says Mudeenu.

"You can go now." Says Iflar.

"We won't let you down." We answer. We move to our ride and prepare to begin our vital mission.

01h33

3rd POV:

"Before we go our separate ways...I have something to discuss." Says a voice.

The nobles, Bajar, Mudeenu and Iflar turn around and saw it was Irlan who was talking.

"Irlan!" Grunt Bajar.

"Sorry Bajar but the truth must be told now." Says Irlan. "It's about you Mudeenu."

None of them know that Peyton was watching them. Peyton was observing them with Seralina, but when she saw Seraphin going on his mission she get out of their secret place.

"What is it?" Asks Mudeenu.

"Did you already forget my warning?" Says Bajar with rage on his eyes.

"Sorry, but the situation requires broking a secret for the sake of the mipedians." Says Irlan.

"Mudeenu, you must already have doubts about it, but..." He looks at Bajar with a dark smile. "You're not the true son of Bajar."

"..." All of the room was silent from this. Then Irlan shows proof of his affirmations.

"Bajar...Mudeenu, I'm sorry but those paper clearly prove that Mudeenu was an orphan before you adopt him." Says sadly Darini.

"I..." Mudeenu couldn't say anything, but he was still aware of what's going on.

"Bajar, you never had any child, when he saw you in that orphanage, he decide to adopt you. The reason his unknown, but that means on thing. You don't have any royal blood in you vein." Says Irlan.

Mudeenu can't help but to look down at the floor, feeling the disgrace he was at the moment.

"Without royal blood or special distinction like Darini, you are not a noble and you have no power over-" Says Irlan.

"That is enough." Shout Peyton. He then presents himself in front of the group.

"WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE HUMAN?" Asks Irlan with anger. He shouts because he didn't expect this.

"What you say isn't important?" Says Peyton with conviction. "He has done more than most of you and you all know this."

The noble mumble among themselves. They knew he was right.

"Even so, he doesn't have the blood of royalty so-" Tries Irlan.

"Blood. It's only useful to live. He doesn't give any distinction about being a noble or not. Every noble here must have an ancestor who distinct themselves and succeed join the nobility." Says Peyton not getting down with Irlan argument.

"Peyton. Whatever you say won't change the rules. If the king was here, he would be able to make him a noble and the question would be useless, but the king has been kidnapped and as long as we think he's alive...we can't crowed a new king." Explains Tianne.

"There's another way." Says Bajar.

All face turn to him. Mudeenu look at his «father» and wonder what on his mind.

"He can do the sacred ritual of royalty." Says Bajar.

"The one I've pass a years ago?" Asks Iflar.

"Exactly." Says Bajar.

"Fool. Only true royalty can pass that ritual and Mudeenu doesn't have royal blood." Says Irlan.

Mudeenu knew he was telling the true. He wasn't sure what to do when Peyton shout:

"Blood isn't important." Says Peyton with a smile. Mudeenu look at him, surprise by his sentence. "It's the soul that counts. I'm sure he can do the ritual. He has the soul of a true king and I'm sure he can do it. You may believe king blood his important, but Mudeenu show he can do more than any of that. He has the quality of a king and that is enough for him."

"He's right." Says Mudeenu. His voice and his eyes show his usual confidence. He talks like that revelation doesn't affect him. In his head, he remembers his father words:

«My son…Whatever Irlan will says…remember I will always love you. »

His father love him for what he was, not his origin. He would have never taken him if he didn't love him. He knows how his father was and he knows what he must do.

"I will do the ritual now and show you who I really am. If I succeed...Irlan...you will lose you're title and your power I assure you." Says Mudeenu. "I'll do the ritual when the sun will climb."

"I shall accompany him...if that's permitted." Says Peyton.

"It is permitted to have a companion." Says Bajar. "If Mudeenu want your presence of course."

"...Since you support me...I'll accept to support you're presence." Says Mudeenu.

"Good, then I'll prepare myself right now." Says Peyton.

"You'll risk big Mudeenu." Says Irlan.

"Not at all. I know what to do and I know than I can do it. This will maybe even approach me from the cothica." Says Mudeenu with a small smile. He then goes and prepare himself.

"I see you fail to hurt my cousin." Says Iflar. "My order remain the same. All of you prepare yourself."

"Alright." Says the nobles. They all goes home and will prepare themselves tomorrow including Irlan.

"Iflar." Says Bajar. "I'm sorry all this happen. All of your supporter will be outside the palace for a while."

"Do not worry uncle. I'm not weak as I use too. It will be difficult with the noble when they will try to oppose me, but I won't back down. Mudeenu, Ario, Seraphin and Peyton didn't back down at the danger. I'm only a crown prince so my influence is smaller than a king, but I'll do anything to protect our tribe." Says Iflar with passion.

"You've grown strong. The future of our tribe is in security with you at his command." Says Bajar. "You can always count me in to help you."

"Thanks uncle...I'll need it." Says Iflar. "A war will soon start...I can feel it."

"This will be the time to prove yourself." Says Bajar. "Just like your father."

"Father...I won't fail you." whispered Iflar.

08h00

Ario POV:

"Is everyone ready?" I ask.

"Yes!" All our squad shout.

"WAIT!" Shout a woman voice.

"Seralina." Says Seraphin surprise. "What are you doing here?" We then saw her gear.

"I'm coming with you." She says. "I have no intention of letting them get the king away. Also, you'll need my help."

"What! But do you know how to fight?" Asks Vinta.

"Of course I know how to fight. I'm a better warrior than Seraphin." She says.

"I'm not so sure." Says Sobtjeck. "I never saw both of you fighting against each other's."

"My spell can also be useful. Since you are few, I can use some of my healing spell to help you." She says.

It was true that some of her spell can heal us. A few of them but it's still better than nothing. Also...our mugic cannot be use very often so we will really need her.

"Alright." I say. "You can come."

"Welcome aboard." Says Seraphin.

"I won't get in your way." She says. I was absolutely not worry about that. She's a cautious girl.

"Alright, let's get in." Says Vinta.

We move to our new transportation. It's a fast vehicle that can transport multiple people, but it use lots of energy so we save it for important moment like this one. It's fast, easily maneuverer and his resistant against assault.

"I'll drive." Says Siado. Not a lot of our tribe can drive it but Siado doesn't have any problem at all.

We enter in the vehicle.

"Ready. I'll start the engine." Says Siado.

The motor began to rumble when water enter in it. Yeah...it's work on water. We don't use it much because we don't have much water and we save it for the tribe.

"Let's go!" Shout Siado. He then press on the pedal and soon, was out of Windale.

"The waterjeep works well." Says Seraphin.

"Where are they now?" Asks Sobtjeck.

"Still in the same position." Says Seraphin. "But I think they'll move soon."

"We better hurry up." Says Vinta.

AC: Here's the end of this chapter. Hope you like it.
