Chapter 44
Junko kept a hold on Blinx as the Storm Hawks made their escape from the Royal Gardens through the gap in the wall Junko had made.
"Head to the Condor" Aerrow ordered.
All of them were more than happy to oblige, but when they rounded the corner to their beloved ship, they were met with King Agar patiently waiting for them, a mass of sentries stood behind him.
The King's blind eyes seemed to scan over them and came to a stop on their other blue eyed friend.
"I thought I made it perfectly clear what was going to happen" he directed at her.
"Yeah, well, I didn't feel like becoming a baby maker" Blinx returned evenly.
They ignored Finn's comment of 'Wait, what?' save for Stork who sniggered silently…he also quietly made his way over to Blinx and Junko, pulling the book out from somewhere behind him. As the King looked over to his Domo, Stork directed her attention to something within its pages.
"We're not going to allow you to do this. You can't force it on them if they don't want it. It's unethical and unfair" Aerrow put in.
"It is not unethical to our history" the King replied "Though I will agree, it is unfair. But, you must understand, if the prophecy is not fulfilled my people will rebel and chaos will ensue"
"But what if your prophecy was wrong?" Blinx spoke suddenly "What if it had been misinterpreted?"
The King remained quiet as he looked her way, silently asking what she meant.
"Your prophecy is wrong. It wasn't read right. A child was born in battle, for battle. A baby born to change the destiny of The Atoms, a hero to some while a villain to others. A Princess within her own right" Blinx paraphrased "It's a story about a future and a past. It's referring to someone already living, not someone yet to be born. And it mentions a protector…which may or may not be the Domo"
The King thought for a moment, considering her words, then returned his white eyes to her.
"I cannot read the texts of Le Livre des Prophéties, but, if I must, I will take your word for it. Which means, you are free to leave" There seemed to be a twinkle in his eye as he said this, a pleased and happy twinkle.
The guards behind him looked puzzled by his statement, but stepped aside to let the squadron enter their ship.
When they were in the hangar and away from listening ears, Finn turned to the rest of them "I don't know about you guys, but I'm all ready to leave"
"Seconded. Stork, get to the bridge and get us in the air" Aerrow ordered.
Stork saluted and slunk off to his post. Aerrow then turned to Blinx and Junko.
"How are you?" he questioned the girl.
She shrugged "I don't think it's a serious injury. Maybe just stay off it for a while"
He nodded "All the same, Piper go grab your healing crystal and meet them on the Bridge with Stork"
Piper ran off to her room and Junko walked off with Blinx.
Radarr leapt onto his friends shoulder and Aerrow smiled affectionately "Well done Radarr"
Aerrow and Finn smiled happily to each other "We should probably head there too" Aerrow stated.
