章 34: CHAPTER 34
I stood in place as I heard a voice inside my head. I would be lying if I said that the voice didn't give me chills. It sounded so full of hate and anger that fear struck me immediately. It ordered me to give heat to Alexander. And out of all things, I thought that that would be the last thing that I would have to do. If we lend our powers to someone, it symbolizes that we lend our hand to another kingdom to form a new treaty and what I just did to Alexander, the son of the person that killed my mother, was a form of treaty towards my kingdom and his.
True that all of the kingdoms in the land already has a treaty but that was something that everyone agreed on. A public treaty that does not weigh that heavy. An exclusive treaty on the other hand means that both kingdoms would lend their hands through the good and the bad times, no matter what happens. I closed my eyes as I knew that if father came to know about this, he would be most outrageous by my reckless action.
"What are you waiting for? Lead us to where they are." My father said in an irritated manner. I looked to him and bowed my head lightly.
"If you would follow me please." I said before turning my back at them. The door of the room opened, and I walked to where the others were. I could feel the uneasiness between us, including the High Majesties. The nature of the air was very much different. I could smell burnt tress and the ground would shake every now and then and we would hear explosions. We turned to a corner and the air got even more static that we could hear the crackling of the electricity.
I looked back at them if they wanted to proceed. King Zergon paused momentarily before waving his hands in a swift motion. A sphere surrounded us and the uneasiness in the air somehow dissipated but the uneasiness that I am feeling inside was still there. I nodded at them before continuing to venture into the hallways. Some corridors were wrecked, and most windows were shattered. I continued to guide them even further until we reach a certain door.
"Prince Hade of the Fire Kingdom." I spoke. The door went still for a few more moments before it opened. I motioned for them to go in first and they complied.
By the moment we walked inside, I noticed the sudden drop of temperature, I could see frozen fractals crawling on the wall and a faint trail of mist that sprawled on the floor. We went even further while observing the surroundings. We were all quite and we could hear some grunting. I could sense that something was wrong and somehow, something inside me wanted to go and check on Alexander but I restrained myself.
The lights were flickering and then a few steps further, the ground shook so drastically that it slammed me and the High Majesties on the walls. I groaned due to the sudden impact while pulling myself together. As I stood up and gained awareness, I noticed that the sphere protecting us was no longer present. I looked over to the High Majesties and saw them dusting themselves.
"Gods of Fire hear my words and give warmth to this room." I heard father command. I looked over to King Zergon and Queen Molina shivering lightly due to the immense cold. I touched the wall and almost jumped when I felt how cold it felt. I channeled my energy to the structure for it to gain warmth.
As I attempted to heat up the place, I couldn't help but wonder as to why was it so cold here. Then I remembered Alex asking for heat. I got even more confused as I realized that he just talked to me directly telepathically and I don't allow such form of conversation to happen in my mind. I shook my head and got rid of the thought as my focus was to bring heat to the place. We waited for a few more minutes but the temperature only got lower. I looked over to my father and I could see the confusion on his face. He's the King of Fire after all and yet he wasn't able to let the gods answer his command.
"Let us move forward. Something may be causing this and we must put a stop to it." Queen Molina spoke. Father was about to retaliate but wasn't able to as the Queen started moving down the corridors.
I sighed and was about to remove my hands from the wall when I realized that I couldn't. My brows furrowed even more when my view came to see that my hands were frozen stuck on the wall. I attempted to grab it out but I wasn't able to. I looked back to where Father was and I saw him moving closer to me. His brows were also furrowed as he looked at my hands which was covered in ice. Bizarre really as I was born and was blessed by the fire element and yet my hands were frozen. I channeled all of my energy into my palm and the ice started to melt.
"For this cold to freeze your hand, something powerful must be causing this." He said before walking away.
I walked behind them when my hand was detached from the wall. It was silent when we heard Queen Molina scream. We scurried to where she was and as soon as we got there, my yes widened at the sight. Kaval, Dianne, Apollo and the Headmaster was enclosed in a sphere while being held down by huge chains of ice. My body felt even colder as I saw the person on the middle whose eyes were white and body as pale as snow. Alexander stood there still floating. His hands held the chains that connected directly to the others. I ran to the sphere immediately and banged it for as hard as I can.
Kaval looked at me and my hands balled into fist as I saw how weak he was. His eyes were barely open and his lips were very dry. He had his hands both on the ground and I could see a faint light pulsing. I looked at everyone else on the sphere and they were positioned like Kaval. Hands on the floor, knees on the floor and head hanged low. A faint surge of energy were pulsing under them and when I followed its trail, it went directly to Alexander. His feet were frozen still on the ground his hair was waving lightly.
He looked like someone else. He wasn't in his older form before. I looked back at the High Majesties and they were still frozen on the spot.
"Your Majesties!" I shouted. They looked at me before it hit them. Queen Molina and King Zergon ran to where their heirs were. Panic was evident from their faces as they banged the sphere. I stood up but before I got to stand on my feet, I was pulled back to the ground and my eyes widened as I saw a chain of ice on my wrists.
"Father!" I exclaimed. He looked at me before his eyes widened at the sight of his heir being held down and captured. I could see the flare of anger in his eyes. He positioned his right hand directly to my wrist and released a blast of fire. I could feel the heat on my skin but it didn't burn me as I was a fire element. He stopped after a few minutes only to find the ice chain untouched. At this point, I was starting to get agitated so I slammed the chains on the floor but nothing happened. Not even a scratch.
"What is this!? We must get that boy!" Father exclaimed. Queen Molina stood up along with King Zergon. All of them looked very much pissed. They held their hands on the air and directed it to the sphere. They released a surge of energy blast together on the sphere and a huge thud was heard. My eyes only got wider as nothing even happened to it as it directly absorbed their powers without a scratch. I looked at my wrist and a sudden realization hit me.
"Father! The chains are getting tighter! It seems like it wants to stop our blood circulation!" I shouted. I looked at Kaval and the others and realized how swollen their wrists have become. I held my hands directly on the floor and started to do the same thing. I could feel my veins starting to burn from the huge release of my magic. We were focused on breaking the barrier that we didn't notice the other person enter the room and before we knew what was happening, we were sent to the floor by a sudden slap of impact. We looked at who the culprit was and my anger rose to greater heights.
"What are you doing to my son." King Archemidius spoke in a low tone while eyeing us down.
"Murderer." I growled in anger.
