19 Unexpected (1/2)
''Your majesty, a report has arrived from the village of Sparcia!'' A messenger with plain clothing but a luxurious touch came in front of the rectangle-like table in its sides. He has a cape and a symbol in his chest of a creature like a Lion with tiger marks in its face surrounded by a shield in silver decorations. His hair was long reaching to the shoulders only and had a pony tail of a brown fur.
''What is it this time!'' Asked a grave voice far from the table surrounded by ferocious and calculating stares from the intimidating atmosphere.
''Your majesty, Lord Achils is in trouble and requests the Royal army and the national generals to come immediately. It's a national emergency!'' The messenger flat out said as he put a serious face with his usual bow to a King, while, at the same time looking at the ruler with his silver eyes.
''What!?'' The men in the room were in an uproar. All shouted in disbelief.
''A national emergency?! At this stage of time? If its Achils...The situation does not look good!'' A man sitting down in a golden spiky yet towering throne far from the messenger was pondering deeply as he sat in distress.
He had a cloak surrounding his body of an azure sky color and highlights of golden ornaments of fire. His face old yet young. A man of his mid 30s. A face of a war veteran with a scar in his right eye reaching towards his cheek. His face showed strong power. The power of a king.
''Your, majesty I suggest we should go immediately as Achils is a trusted individual, however, we should leave half of the Royal troops here in case anything happens'' Highlighted a man sitting in the right side along with other men in a cool manner as he put his glasses on after cleaning them and looking at the king in a serious yet relaxed manner through his emerald green eyes.
''I agree with the four eyes'' Another grave voice resounded in the left side, however, he seemed to look down upon the man in the right yet agreed with him with a rising brow trying to maintain eye contact through his fiery red eyes and touching his silver hair in confidence. A robust man and more ripped than most here as it could be seeing through his arms gigantic yet thin muscles showing off from his plain clothing and cloak of a red color.
''What about the rest of you?'' The ruler asked in authoritative voice to all the men in the table. He seemed even more distressed than ever if there was a disagreement in a possible national emergency. He was even touching the back of his head covered in orange hairs in way as if, it was a pain-in-the-ass.
''Let's go!'' A figure covered with a long snow-white cloak and a hoodie covering his face, smoothly and coolly without a care in the world.
The rest of the dark men got up along with him.
''The matter is settled then! We must put a strong front against the other kingdoms in this moment. Artheo you stay here and be guarding the capital. I am going too.'' The King was determined. He didn't get to fight for a long time. Now many citizens might die and a catastrophe was coming. He was wondering what to do and in a conflicting mind attempting to calm himself down as much as he can.But he could not. His heart palpitated with worry and panic. He barely maintained his composure. His never-ending thoughts were flooding him.
The world was in a disaster already. Yet another disaster strikes the world once again. In his world. His kingdom.
''Yes, your majesty'' Another man in the left side with tall bearing said as he got up from the chair. His face invisible and covered by the shadows in the room's corner that he was in.
He was extremely stressed in the meeting regarding the contest of the 'Phantom winter' and he now had to deal with event that could destroy the nation in itself.

Fooooo!
Geroge got out of the attack immediately after the lightning strike from his hand.
'It will cause enough damage I believe to weaken it.' Though George to himself as he was wondering in the sky while the vapor emanating from the strike dissipated into nothingness.
Pewwwwwwww!
!?
George saw it coming at him millimeters close to him.
A red laser penetrated through George in an instant from the supposed damage.
The sky formed halos of clouds around it as it went upwards like a thrusting sword towards the heavens.

''Did you see that master?'' Alize asked in concern towards her master.
Apolion watched with fear as he thought something happened to George.
''Master, I lost the signs of the A.I Melissa and Mr. Welfost's location'' Alize said in a worried manner.
The one thing he feared happened.
'Could George just have. Died? Just like that?'
Apolion was shocked and intrigued. A single attack and a person as strong as George are finished. His heart raced like engine in heat.
The majestic attack left Apolion shaking of fear and despair. His sweat coming like running bullets made it worse for him to concentrate. His mind was chaotic.
They had arrived close to the creature to be able to see the visible monstrosity and terror of hell.
The lakes were evaporating and clouds of magnifying horror filled the atmosphere with darkness of pure white death flags.
No legs or limbs were present below. But could not be seeing for the blinding might of the hellish white smoke.
'What is that?' Apolion was stuck and paralyzed in his place. He looked at its eyes. Magnetic. As if it was going to seduce him to die.
Lorenya looked with awe and panic. This was something she never expected, not even in her nightmares, to exist. She sensed death and danger emanating from the creature.
'What a monstrous magical energy. What kind of magic is that?' Lorenya pondered as she watched with intrigue and fear.
…..
''Master, I got a transfer from George after the incident giving us a map with the instructions to lure it it a certain waterfall in the forest 100 miles away.'' Alize told Apolion with total seriousness and worry for her master in her voice.
!?
Apolion was snapped back to reality from his thoughts by the voice of Alize. But he was calmer as he thought of the emergency features to survive. 'George surely would not die so easily.'
'Alize, then, give me the map! And we shall go and lure it there. It seems to be the place I was before!' Requested Apolion in a hurry with dead serious face.
''Master is right. Mr.Welfost might have survived the incident. But here you go master. I will give you a directive guidance towards the location.'' Alize told Apolion coolly before immediately transferring data and creating holographic map beside Apolion and making the world digital as if it was a videogame. A directive sign in the form of a small arrow. In the left side of him.
All this was visible to Apolion only from his eye.
'Wait! How you know I was thinking of the emergency features?' Asked Apolion as he was preparing to go out and attract its attraction.
But the creature seems to be tired and in a regenerative position as its eyes are closed and red energy was coming to its tails in form of sparkles of red stars form the surroundings. It might even be an attack. They had to prepare.
''I can read your mind. But if you do not wish to, I can activate another feature to only read your mind for commands by saying my name. Or just do voice commands or I can keep the current feature. But to distinguish me I suggest to add another code name next to my name Alize in the mind so I can detect it as a confirmation of giving commands or reading the mind if necessary.'' Said Alize as fast as she could but in a pace Apolion could catch.
''Ah I see, well. Alize zero is the code name for commands and the sorts. Anyway, let's do this. But first I have to get Lorenya out of this.'' Said Apolion determined.
Apolion made gestures for Lorenya to go.
''You go''
Apolion said with seriousness trying to explain her to go.
'He is telling me to go? I won't without you. I feel like he is going to do something crazy if I leave him here, this is not the time to play hero. I have to get him out and run for help I can't just leave him here.' Though Lorenya before forcefully trying to drag Apolion by the arm.
Apolion resisted with determination and was not trying to go.
''Huh?''
Lorenya was confused.

''Lord Achils! I see that the monster. Its grotesque beyond Neroilean imagination.!'' A second in command captain said to lord Achils from ahead as they were running with horses.
But those were horses of a different colors to those of Earth. Some were purple while others green but other had strange tails such as one coming with spikes as sharp as nails.it was part of the body biologically.
They were running from the mountain and descending while the Second in command soldier was going far away to give direction.
''I got it, Guide us quick! Mages be ready!'' Achils wanted to hurry as much as possible to prevent any damage to the citizens and crops. It is plain winter and the snow will fall after few days yet now a disaster strikes. They had to solve this. Otherwise, it will bring heavy consequences to the kingdom and that monster might even annihilate the entire kingdom.
