Hello everyone. Here is chapter 2 for Gods against a King. I hope that you will enjoy it. :)
A week has passed since the death of princess Luna, everyone in King Blu's kingdom is still in mourning as they struggled to come to terms with the fact that Luna is dead and there was nothing that they could do about it, except mourn her death in their own way, which is exactly what many of them did.
King Blu and Queen Jewel spent their mourning of princess Luna's death by sitting on their respective thrones, listening to accounts of princess Celestia's brutality after having sent Tomada, Bosco and Marcus to sent letters to every village in the kingdom in an effort to warn them of the upcoming threat.
They weren't the only ones listening to accounts, though, because prince Nightfly and his wife, princess Bia, along with Bia's younger brother Tiago and their older sister, Carla, as well as their youngest adoptive brother, Diaglo, are also listening to the accounts with horrified expressions on their faces.
The royal guards, themselves, have been put on high alert and daily patrols became more frequent as they kept watch for any sign of princess Celestia coming in their direction, which only caused every patrol to become even more nervous as they had heard about Prince Celestia and her battle against her younger sister, princess Luna.
King Blu, himself, was hid his fear well as he had been trained to put on a brave face, though, it didn't stop his wife, Queen Jewel, from noticing how fearful her husband looked, despite his attempt to continue putting on a brave face, which is a subject that she did bring up as she knew that the information wasn't help.
Suddenly, something caught their attention as a wounded male Spix Macaw villager had managed to limp his way into the throne room and he approached the two royals with a fearful expression on his face as it was clear that he had witnessed something horrible happening in his village, which he soon explained.
"My King, Celestia has taken our land, food and homes" said the male Spix Macaw villager as he began to cry. "She even slaughtered our children, please, help us".
"Don't worry, we are going to do everything, we can" assured Queen Jewel as she comforted the villager. "I'll personally see to it, that your village is reinforced, I promise".
The male Spix Macaw smiled, despite his tears that streamed down his cheeks, as he put his head in Queen Jewel's lap, which surprised the latter before she hugged the villager as she understood that she must do everything in her power to make sure that the villagers of that village survive the dreadful ordeal that they are currently going through.
King Blu was about to have his own say on the matter, when a guard ran into the throne room and he was clearly panicking as everyone in the throne room felt a bad feeling grow inside their stomach as they hoped that what the guard is about to say, isn't what they think it is, but, unfortunely, they were proven wrong.
"My King, the city of Minas is being besieged, by Celestia" said the guard which horrified King Blu. "All twenty-thousand of her soldiers, what are we going to do, my King?".
"Send messengers to every corner of the kingdom, quickly" said King Blu as he started giving out orders. "I need men to fight and meet me at Dunharrow in two days".
The guard nodded in understanding as he quickly left to carry out the order, while King Blu could only sigh as he knew that this day was coming and he began to wonder if princess Celestia can truly be defeated, especially when she has King Charles as her ally, before he began to walk in the direction of his bedroom to get ready for war.
After getting to his bedroom, King Blu began to put on his armour as well as putting his sword in it's scabbard and he was nearly finished when he heard knocking on the door of his bedroom and he allowed the unknown bird to enter his bedroom where he saw that the unknown bird is none other than his wife, Queen Jewel, who smiled, sadly, at him.
"Greetings, Jewel, I take it that, you've come to see me off" said King Blu as he smiled at his wife. "Also, I know that, I am taking a big risks in fighting this war".
"We both know that, Blu, we have been through, so much" said Queen Jewel as she stroked Blu's cheek. "I will always love you, Blu, no matter what happens in this war".
"You sure have a way of inspiring me, thanks for that, Jewel" said King Blu as he gave a sad smile at Jewel. "Look after our children, until I return, if I may return that is-".
He was cut off by Queen Jewel, who interrupted him by giving him a kiss on the beak and King Blu allowed himself to enjoy it as he shared his final kiss with his wife before they released each other and King Blu gave his wife a wink as he went to join his men in the war against princess Celestia and King Charles, knowing that he might not survive.
