25 Farewell, Master Of Ice (1/2)

In the morning, Riku and the others leave the hotel in search of the ancient wizard.as they move through town, they notice that everyone was looking at them.

Wendy said nervously said ”Why they are looking at us so scary?”

Kelcie replied ”I think they figured out who we really are.”

Wendy ”How they figured it out that quickly?”

Kelcie ”We look diffrent from any other person here, we look so serious especially the ice guy and we move as a group.”

Riku gives a horrifying look at Kelcie.

Wendy says sarcastically ”Yeah you are right, he is scary.”

After some silence, town people approaches Riku and others.

They all start to question them ”Are you guys are the group that defeated Hecta?”

Riku says ”We done what we needed to do.”

After Riku's words all the town people got excited and they started to give presents to them.

Riku says ”Thanks for the support but we have to get going.”

But Wendy was so happy about it she was giving people autographs.

While they were about to leave they see the kingdoms army.

All the people moves away to make way the to the soldiers.

The commander of the soldiers shouted, ” You have received an invitation from the king, we will be honored if you come.”

Riku ”So, they won't let us go.” ”sigh” ”Remember, we're not here to have fun, we're leaving as fast as we can.” and then they'll make their way to the castle. They arrived at the castle in a short time.

When they enter the Castle, The King immediately meets them.

The King's name was Micaron.he was a tall,thin,black-haired,orange-eyed,kind, the gentle young king.

When the King sees riku and the others, he approaches them in an exciting way, shakes their hands and introduces himself.

Wendy says ”Nice too meet ya!”

Micaron said, ”That honor belongs to me. I have prepared a feast for you today. please follow me.”

Riku said ”We are not here for fun. I have a couple of questions for you.”

Micaron said ”We can talk about what you want while we eat.”

Wendy ”Actually it is not a bad idea. We should check it out.”

Micaron says ”Thats great, please follow me.”

While they were about to ask questions the other group was continuing their search too.

While they were moving Zen suddenly said ”Stop!”

Kiroy asks ”Whats happening?”

Zen showed the compass,”It shows that he is in this area, we have to continue on foot.”

Kiroy said, ”Dont forget to tie your horses to the trees.”

They continue their search on foot.

They move carefully and slowly because the area they are in is a wooded area.

Gorou said, ”How do you know we are going to find our way in this huge forest?”

Zen said ”While making preparations I examined a lot of maps and the compass was pointing south before entering this region.”

Cuno said, ”I can feel the forest filled with black magic.”

Lara said ”We will not attack until any kind of signal comes, remember that.”

Everybody slowly follows Zen.

After walking for a little bit they reach a huge cave entrance.

Gorou says ”So, what do we do now?”

Kiroy says ”We are going to wait for a signal.”

While they were talking they hear a very loud sound coming from the cave.

Kiroy said, ”Lara and Cuno come with me, the rest of you stay here, the voice may be nothing.”

Zen says ”What about the signal?”

Kiroy said, ”The plan has changed,we will take him prisoner, if he walks freely like this he can contact someone or regain his power,so we go in, you guys hold the door.”

Kiroy, Lara and Cuno enter quickly but quietly.

When they reach deeper into the cave, the environment becomes darker and they feel a different fluid reaching up to their knees.

Lara throws a flaming arrow deeper to get a better view of her surroundings.

Kiroy said: ”I had never seen the liquid on the ground before.”

Cuno ”The liquid state of the curse, Hecta feeds himself on the curse., if it is so much he cannot be powerless.”

After walking a while they see a light. They approach the light and they saw Hecta.

Hecta was waiting while sitting on the throne made out of skeletons.

Kiroy approaches Hecta without hesitation and he frozes Hecta's body except his head.

Hecta was not able to move because of the ice, but because his head wasnt freezed, he was able to talk.
