Chapter 35 - Muthos and Askella (2/2)
Muthos frowned- ”Grundor? you mean that old crazy magic user from old, how is he still alive? Never mind, (realizing his wife was even older than him because of their weird magic ways.), let me ask a different question, is this really a concern?”
Askella berated him- ”I know you haven't been fully invested in all my magic stuff but would you please not forget about your king's secret treasure and the hidden tombs underneath, he is most likely planning something terrible, he cannot be trusted or allowed to run around freely, who knows what he will do.”
Askella taking a breath continued- ”It seems he's also helping Ulik track down your king, he'll be in trouble.”
Muthos gave another snort- ”He's not my king anymore, he deserved to be betrayed by that whore, I no longer care what happens to him.”
Askella- ”It's not just him whos in danger should Grundor be allowed to grow in power, I don't know why he went into seclusion, but having him around isn't good, he's been known to sacrifice and kill thousands in the past for his goals.”
Muthos hearing this grew concerned, he still cared for his people and wished them the best otherwise he would have never become the king's advisor.- ”What can an old man like me do? Why don't you whip up some magic and set things right?”
Askella rolled her eyes- ”That's not how magic works, besides have you not been listening, Grundor can also use magic he will just counter whatever I do, I'm not even sure I can stand with him, he could be older than even I realize and far more advanced in the mystical arts... you wouldn't want your wife to get hurt would you?” she asked blinking her eyes at him.
Muthos huffed- ”Don't give me that girly crap, just say what you want from me.”
Askella grinning- ”Why should we fight our enemies when we can get other enemies to fight for us, there is a small group of Asgardians making their way towards a supply depot, I suggest we recruit them for our goals, they should be more than happy to be led to the capital to kill the usurper and Grundor along with him and if they fail at least the other Asgardians will seek revenge for us.”
Muthos grinned making a move to hug and kiss her- ”I like it, I knew I married you for some reason.”
Askella fighting it- ”Yeah, yeah, why don't you recruit those two guards who were cast out shortly after you and take them with you to get the Asgardians back here where we will make our plans, remember to take them through the old war tunnels so your not seen.”
Muthos agreed as he made his way out of the cave to go find them, leaving an evilly grinning Askella behind.
Askella rubbing her hands together- ”This is the perfect chance for me to get my hands on that treasure and then some, who knows what lies in the tombs, I wonder if Grundor does and that's what he's after, I'll have to plan things carefully for it all to work out.
