ELYRIA

CHAPTER 17

The realm of Evil.........

"Why is that child still alive?!" The kings voice boomed sending vibrations through the spines of General zarin and the demons that carried out the attack with him.

"Forgive me my king, I did carry out the plan and it was successful, unless....."

"Unless what!"

"Unless he had been given the essence of the ancients........ the king threw his sword and it hit General zarin in the chest, piercing through his heart, he fell on his knees and tried pulling out the sword but it wouldn't bulge....

"You incompetent fool! You don't deserve to live".

General zarin lay lifeless on the floor, eyes opened wide and his irises slowly disappearing.

The rest of the demons present were frightened and terrified unsure of what would become of them.

Guards!! The king called

Six guards appeared and he said "take these ones, and throw them into the dark river with their hands and feet bounded together.

The guards did as they were told, but before they could step out, the king said "clear up this mess at once!" Referring to General zarin's lifeless form.

The king stood up from his throne and went through the hallways leading to his chamber, on getting there he slammed the door close in anger.

"Supreme god!, I will never bow to you! The war will never end you'll have no choice but to disappear again, you coward!

Elyria's finest tailors and seamstresses worked tirelessly to craft stunning attire for the nobles and guests, while the royal chefs labored to create a feast fit for the gods. The air was filled with the sweet scent of baking pastries and the sound of music drifting from the palace courtyard, where the royal orchestra rehearsed for the grand performance.

Meanwhile, Alex, now fully embracing his divine role, spent the day in quiet contemplation, preparing himself for the coronation ceremony that would take place during the ball. Elder Lyra and the council of elders sat with him filling him in with informations about the magical realm and how to deal with them.

However, they were quite surprised Alex still doesn't have enough memories about his past life, it was supposed to resurface during the reawakening, but they decided to give It some time

As the sun set on the eve of the ball, the city was aglow with lanterns and torches, casting a magical light over the proceedings. The stage was set for a night of unparalleled joy, celebration, and wonder, as Elyria's people gathered to honor their supreme god and welcome him back to his rightful place among them...
