His Majesty
Story by: Bunmi B. Gabriel.
Foreword
War, the worse thing that can ever happen to any nation or country because when gods fight, the people suffer for it. The story start from the dark crystal comic, a comic of darkness that went through the merged realm of Zanludan and Naphaledia, two powerful kings and protectors of sacred creatures ruled each. The king of Naphaledia was married to the beloved older sister of the king of Zanludan, it was the perfect peace match. Not until the comic came and ruined everything, the darkness of the comic was too strong for the people to handle, they went into war.
The wh0le kingdoms fell into chaos, a chaos that rose stronger and deeper darkness. The kings and queens tried everything they could to settle everything but the war only increased day by day. Legend has it that the beasts of symbols disappeared, no one knew who or what they look like, if they even exist but they disappeared. The darkness consumed the kings after their Queens died in the war, the only string left and that made everything worst; they killed themselves.
The kingdoms were left with the prince of Naphaledia since the king of Zanludan was yet to bear a child. Queen Aurora hid her son from everyone so no one knew how he looked like or where he was until after his family died. The little prince stopped the darkness on his own, no one knew how he did it since the great kings couldn’t stop it. Legend has it that there was a price to how he stopped it and his coldness was the clue but the people didn’t care much, they were okay and in peace again. However, the tribe that started the war and whose wickedness killed Queen Aurora, was cursed by unknown forces. They became the ugly stains of the new world, Alphedia, the cursed Ostrazians never to be associated with, the filth cast away for irrelevant purposes. The innocent generation suffered for what they knew not but who were they to speak against the bitter king.
Hopefully, everything would be fine.
EXCERPT
My body burst through the wall, creating a h0le as I hit the floor of the other side. I mo-ned in pain, it disappeared as soon as it came, advantage of my healing light. She stepped over the wall with a wicked smirk, her pink sparkles whirling around her and lifting her off the ground, it was her wind powers in manifestation.
‘Magnificent, leave me alone,’ I sobbed.
‘Why can’t you stop me? Don’t you have any powers again?’ She asked mockingly. ‘Oh yes, you just have your healing stupid powers and you’re nothing but a worthless Ostrazian, good for nothing wh-re.’
‘I have done nothing to you….’
‘You existing is enough wrong, by the time I’m done with you, your useless powers won’t be able to save you,’ she spat venomously. ‘You think you can crawl your way out of your h0le and become our Queen! Never! I will kill you first!!!’ She scre-med angrily. The pink in her iris spread to her wh0le eyes, her mouth was a gaping pink h0le. I clutched my throat, struggling for breath. The wind lift me up and pinned my dainty body to the wall as every single breath in my lungs left me.
‘Magnificent please….’ I gasped, the entire building quaked with fury. I fell on the floor wheezing for breath as everyone was thrown into panic and confusion; she had awaken his demon.
‘Magnificent!!!!!’ His voice came with a roar of thunder and rage of lightning. The sky turned black as the wind blew fast and deadly. Everyone dropped to their knees, all mopping the floor with their faces as they trembled. ‘How dare you touch what belongs to me!!! How dare you challenge me!!!! Do you see me as a weakling!!!’
‘No, no, I swear, we were only playing….’
‘Since you love a challenge, I challenge you to stop your own death,’ with that she scre-med out in pain, holding her pineapple head. I cupped my mouth as I watched the horrible scene, her head swelled like a watermelon being pumped with air.
‘No, no, please, please…..’ Her head exploded, every bit of it spluttering to places it could fly to including my body. I sat on the floor shivering with hands over my mouth and knees folded to my torso. He killed her……
Chapter one
Nyx
I stuck my head out of the door and spied to see if dad was there, I looked around the room carefully before tiptoeing out of my hiding s₱0t. Almost at the door, he cleared his throat.
‘Darn it,’ I muttered. I turned around with a nervous grin. ‘Hi dad, what ya doing at this time of the night?’
‘I’m the dad and you’re the daughter, who should be asking the questions?’ I sighed. ‘Nyx, how many times will I warn you to stay indoors? Out there is not safe for you….’
‘Dad, I’m nineteen now, I can take care of myself,’
‘You might think you can but you can’t,’ he walked to me. ‘You being different doesn’t mean you’re indestructible, can’t you see that keeping you hidden is important to the entire Ostrazians?’ I scoffed and looked away. He held my bicep and sighed worriedly. ‘Nyx, you’re all I have left of your mother, please don’t let me lose you.’
‘Whatever,’ I shook myself out of his hold and ran to my room. ‘Stupid law, stupid king, stupid life!’ I grumbled throwing my dress on the bed. ‘Can you imagine Thunderbolt, dad still won’t let me out,’ I nagged to my pet and best friend. I plopped my half unclad self on the bed and cuddled him. ‘I mean I’m no longer a child….’
‘He’s only trying to look out for you, remember that if you’re ever to be discovered, you might be killed.’ He said with his extremely deep baritone.
‘I know but….but….’ I sighed defeatedly and huffed. ‘I just want to live,’
‘Your time will come,’ he smiled and licked my face.
‘Where’s Goldelia?’ I asked looking around for my other friend.
‘She’s still asleep, remember?’
‘Oh,’ I probably should introduce myself to eliminate confusion. My name is Nyx Adalia Leigh, age nineteen and an Ostrazian. Unlike every other Ostrazians who are born with moles, painful boils and fungus allover their green, red or wood color wrinkled skins and bald heads, I was born normal. My pale velvety and supple skin was ivory with a beauty mark under my nose, at my lower lip and ear. I had a half cerulean and azure moon crest on my back, one that glowed and lit my veins every full moon. My hair was long and woolly, sapphire colored with silver highlight and a part of my hair which weird color took the shape of a full moon. I won’t fail to mention my dainty svelte body and long lashes, I was too beautiful and wh0le to be one of them.
Dad and the older men of Ostrazians concluded that I might be their means of liberty so they kept me hidden all my life. Dad was the chief, he was poor just like every Ostrazians but he was the richest amongst them. My mother died when I was three, she was given out as sacrifice to the demon birds that flew by once every three months, a peace offering to keep them away from the Alphedians. Wickedness. We didn’t have a choice, we were all meant to die and that was why our tribe was rapidly reducing.
Now to my best friends, the two strange looking cats that found their way into my room years ago. Thunderbolt’s original name was White but I changed it. His coat was the whitest I’d ever seen, glowing every single minute. He had silver markings allover his body, one that I couldn’t translate. The other was Gold but I called her Goldelia. Her golden fur was her beauty, like real gold with red flames. They were weird but I knew they were powerful creatures, they wouldn’t tell me though.
What I didn’t understand was why did they choose to stay with me and why was I different?
MORNING
‘Why do we lie to elevate
Why can’t we stop and delegate
Don’t you know life is delicate
Why don’t you think and meditate
You think people won’t celebrate
When something bad happens to thee
Everybody will certainly jubilate
When something….’
‘What are you singing?’ Thunder chuckled. I laid on my bed with my back, head dangling down the side of my bed.
‘I don’t know, I’m bored,’
‘Read a book,’
‘I’ve read every single book that can be found within this lame prison, what do you want from me.’ He chuckled again and stood up, he walked to me and licked my face. I giggled. ‘What was that for?’
‘Get dress, let’s go explore.’
‘I thought you were my second dad always telling me to be sweet and obedient,’ I said sarcastically. ‘Stay indoor like your dad says, it’s for your own good or are we going to explore the cracks and h0les in this life frustrating house.’
‘I’m going to leave without you since you’re not interested,’ I turned on my stomach and gasped.
‘You’re serious?’
‘Yup, dead serious.’ I cupped my mouth and shrieked. I flew out of the bed and ran to the wardrobe, I only possess five shirts, four cowgirl p-nts and two shoes. I picked out a tight long sleeve button shirt, blue and white in color, a white cowgirl shorts and brown cowgirl boots. I braided my hair to tight pigtails and wore a patched brown cape over my body to cover my obvious differences. I covered my head with the hood and smiled with satisfaction. It was all I’d got.
‘Ready,’ he smiled and walked through the wall of my room, I followed with bewilderment. I appeared at a half dead forest, it smelt like death. ‘Wow,’ I breathe.
‘Ignore the forest and walk,’ he led me to the village, the place wreaked of poverty and suffering. I walked along with tears in my eyes, coughing, struggling and painful mo-ns was all I heard.
‘Hey! Watch where you going!’ Someone shouted when I stepped on his daughter’s tail. I bowed.
‘I’m so sorry,’ I ran out into the market. ‘This place, Thund….’ I looked around, he wasn’t there anymore. I cupped my mouth as I sobbed quietly, he brought me out intentionally to show me reasons why I must stay safe. I ran back the way I came, tears rolling down my cheeks. I ran back to the house by instinct, a sudden collusion with the ground sent a shock wave that wh¡pped everything and everyone into a state of chaos.
The demons are here again!
Where’s my baby!
Mommy!
Alia, run faster!!!
Hide!!!
Run for your life!
Meteors fell from the sky and landed on houses, people and animals. I tried not to get crushed, I could see dad trying to save some people. A meteor hit our house, destroying it immediately.
‘No!!! Nyx!!!!’ Dad shouted. A meteor was heading my way, I scre-med and covered my eyes but it didn’t hit me, it was like invisible wings covered me. I opened my eyes, the meteor wasn’t there and I was behind my dad. ‘Nyx?’
‘Dad!’ I hugged him and whimpered. ‘What’s happening?!’
‘The red Tyroins are fighting with the army again….’ Red Tyroins were evil breed of fire breathing birds with a similar frequent scre-m to a banshee. The meteors were actually fireballs. The birds were stubborn and attacked whoever and whatever they wish, especially the army.
‘We need to get the people to the new underground shelter,’ I said as we ran towards the forest.
‘I know…’ He couldn’t finish his sentence as a living body landed on the ground a little far away from in a drift with his hand forming a defensive X and blocking the fire blast being hurled at him. My breath caught up in my throat, he was absolutely beautiful. His white hair flew in the wind, his blue eyes glowing with determination. I could only see the side of his face but my heart was already worsh¡ping his glorious beauty. ‘His Majesty!’ Dad gasped, I was too lost to think, he was the face clean man I’d seen and he was perfect. He snarled at the seven birds floating over him. One landed and wh¡pped it tail, a red beam wh¡pping along with it. ‘Get down!’ Dad shouted and pushed me down.
The wh¡p destroyed so many houses which was strange because they weren’t known to have such nuclear beam. He jumped on it back and cut off it head with a flaming golden sword, the legendary sword of King Zander of Zanludan. Dad ran to save a little crying Ostrazian after telling me to get out. One of the bird fired at dad and the girl, I gasped.
‘Dad!’ Before it touched them, the guy ran to them in a flash and shielded them. The rest Tyroins attacked immediately, adding their own dark energy blast. The guy wasn’t going to hold it for long.
‘Nyx,’ Thunderbolt called. I turned around and saw him. ‘The birds have been energized by silver moon crystals, those crystals are very powerful and right now the king is weak,’
‘What am I suppose to do?’
‘Get them to kill themselves or destroy the crystals…’
‘Can I do that? Won’t it kill me?’
‘Moon crystals love, it won’t harm you.’ I nodded and looked at a tall tree, I calculated the gravity and possibility and ran to it. I climbed the tree and crouched, ready to jump. I jumped, landing on one of the bird’s back. It scre-med and shook but I held on to him tight because my life depended on it, I used it horns to control it to fire at the other one, I redirected it attack to another too.
‘Two down, four to go,’ two flew up and fired at me. I jumped out of it back into the other one and the attack killed the one’s whose back I sat on. The two birds fired at the one I saw sitting on, I jumped down in time and fell on the ground. The handsome guy who was free quickly flew up and in a flash, the remaining two’s heads were gone. The guy collapsed immediately.
‘His Majesty,’ dad gasped. ‘Nyx,’ I crawled to them. ‘You have to heal him, he’s weak…’
‘Why would I do that?’ I snorted. ‘He’s the cause of all these….’
‘He saved my life!’
‘And I saved his, case close.’ I stood up and rolled my eyes, everywhere was destroyed, so many injured.
‘You cannot return evil with evil,’ he huffed. ‘You’re the only one whose light is strong enough t….’
‘He’s the all powerful King Of Alphedia, he can heal himself,’ I said stubbornly with arms folded. I looked down at him, his beautiful face filled with so much pain. A sense of compassion hit me, I knelt down again and sighed. ‘Fine,’ I took his hand, his powers was beyond mine and it was depleting me. I closed my eyes and released all the healing light in me, letting it flow out to others too so they could be healed.
Yes, I had healing powers.
I whimpered and dropped his hand, passing out as soon as that.
