They were in some kind of a palace throne room. The whole room,a large hall was made entirely of bronze. On the walls of this room were symbols, not just symbols but some kind of strange symbols that seemed to discharge spiritual energy into the air. Not only symbols could be found in the large room walls, but there were intricate designs. Some of these designs were dragons,snakes, wolves,bats, and other types of magnificent creatures. The designs on the bronze walls plus the strange symbols, gave the extra large room a disturbing appearance.
Apart from the walls of symbols and designs,there were huge pillars. These pillars were seven in number and they were made entirely of brass. They stretched high into the ceiling and they were located in different parts of the room. Bonus to that, designs of marvelous appearances were carved on these brass pillars, giving the brass pillars a more divine look.
The ceiling of this throne room,was quite a lot to take in. It was built from bronze and it stretched far and wide into the sky. From inside the room,one could see the ceiling spiraling up high, the ceiling blending well with the other details of the room. The room also had a large two sided door made from a rare blue gem. The two sided door,both colourful and exquisite added more glamour to the room. Plus, the two sided door made from a blue gem had the face of a majestic Lion carved on both sides of the door.
Apart from all these details, there were other things notable in the room. But the most important detail of this mysterious and magical throne room was actually the fact that,it had no throne. For emphasis, the throne room was absent of any throne. Though, the seven pillars of this extremely large room were really significant.
Looking up and staring intently at their surroundings, Drake and Lucian were both stunned and mesmerized at the awesome divine beauty of the room. In their own opinions, this was by far the most beautiful sight they had ever seen. They looked around taking into record their surroundings, their eyes open wide and their mouths hung open as they continued marveling at the beautiful room they had suddenly found themselves in.
"Wow!!!" Lucian exclaimed, mesmerized and clearly stunned. "It's beautiful. So marvelous, divine and gracious. I can't take my eyes off these walls".
Drake also taking into record the surrounding also commented positively. "You got that right. It's like we are in the abode of a god. What's gonna happen next? A heavenly voice".
Lucian giggled softly, hearing the joke attached to Drake's words. He smacked his red lips as the beautiful sight really got to him,in his heart.
"Where exactly are we?"
Lucian asked, looking up intently at the spiraling high ceiling. But strangely unknown to them,none of them had actually taken a step from where they had stood all along. Maybe it's because of their action of admiring the whole room.
"I clearly don't know. It seems like some kind of god like throne room. Just take a look at these wonderful designs on the pillars".
Drake said, giggling childishly as he eyed the pillars, still not talking a step from where he stood.
"Weren't we just casting a spell to heal Edwin, your bodyguard? Then how did we get here?"

Lucian had just finished getting the words from his mouth when they both heard the footsteps of an approaching person or perhaps, approaching persons. The footsteps were loud and very close, immediately getting the attention of Lucian and Drake. They both looked around, passively trying to locate the origin of the footsteps. Sudden fear and heart renting anticipation crossed their features.
"Drake, I'm scared... Where could those footsteps be coming from?"
Lucian whined as he snapped his gaze at Drake who was close to him.
"I have no idea, Lucian. But don't be scared,we have powers and I'll make sure to protect you". Drake assured while nodding positively at Lucian. "First, let's find somewhere to hide".
Lucian nodded in agreement. But just as Drake and Lucian were about to take a step,they suddenly found out that they couldn't. The inevitable had happened,they couldn't move their legs or any part of their bodies. It was as if they were frozen to one spot.
"I can't move my legs".
Lucian complained, trying tirelessly to move.
"Me neither. It's as if we are frozen to one spot".
Drake said.
"So, what do we do now. The footsteps are getting louder".
Lucian complained.
"We wait for them and hope they don't see us".
Drake said with a sigh, while still trying to move his legs or any part of his body.
The footsteps only got louder and in no time, the two sided blue gem door opened violently. A man, very tall and divinely handsome to the core walked into the large room. The man was flawlessly beautiful with a sharp pointed nose sitting on his face. He was clad in a golden glowing armor, giving him the appearance of a warrior. His golden hair cascaded down beautifully that made Drake and Lucian hold their breaths.
This guy was the most beautiful being they had ever ever never seen in this life of living.
The man, very tall and godly, with gold eyes, walked majestically into the throne room. His boots, making his footsteps loud and piercing. The man stopped when he reached the middle of the room, his eyes looked around as if looking for something or someone. But for some unknown reason, the man didn't seem to notice Drake and Lucian standing a few feet away from him.
"Come out Jaden. I know you're here, somewhere".
The man's voice was surprisingly soft and smooth, leaving both Drake and Lucian clearly mesmerized. They wondered; what kind of man, that looked like a god but having the voice of an Angel.
As if on cue,a small chuckle resounded from behind one of the seven pillars, the chuckle menacing and intimidating. Then out from one of the pillar on the left,a man stepped out. He was also tall, but he didn't wear an armor, instead, he wore a red classic robe. He had red flowing hair with red piercing eyes. He had wings that composed of red with white outlines on it. He seemed to be the Jaden and he had an evil smirk on his face. He stepped out from behind the pillar and strode over to the man clad in golden armor and with golden hair.
"Hi brother. Quite surprising that you came to see me here".
The man with red hair and red robe on, said, that smirk never leaving his face. The other man with golden hair and armor, didn't smile, but only frowned.
"It's been a week, Jaden. I come here for my sword".
The man with golden hair said, his voice commanding and demanding. The other man, identified as Jaden only chuckled,as if he heard the funniest joke.
Drake and Lucian watched as the two mysterious and heavenly men dialogue, one with wings while the other with an armor. For some reason, they couldn't tear their gaze from the two men. But it came to their understanding that the two men couldn't see them,it was as if they were invisible to the two men but,they could see the two men. Drake and Lucian shared a quick glance between each other before turning to look at the two men, listening to their conversation.
"But, I thought you trusted your sword onto me for the mission you assigned to me. You even gave me temporary control over the sword".
Jaden said, his red wings coiling divinely behind him.
"The mission was over a week ago. Ever since then, you haven't returned the Deity sword,now I've come for it. Give it back, it's mine".
The golden haired man said, his voice an embodent of calm and smoothness.
"Yours? Hmph..... Brother, don't tell me you can't even let your younger brother play with your sword for a little bit?"
Jaden mumbled dangerously. He snapped his finger and suddenly, right from the spiraling ceiling,a huge heavenly and chaotic sword emerged. The sword floated obediently right into Jaden's waiting hand, this shows the temporary control over the sword.
The sword in particular was quite huge and large. It was golden and it looked quite heavy. It pulsed with powerful otherworldly golden glow and there were strange runes engraved on the surface of the sword. The sword was a battery of intense spiritual energy, it was overwhelming.
"Don't play games with me, Jaden. Give me back my sword, the mission is over. So it's time you return the sword I trusted you with".
The man in golden armor said,his voice tinged with annoyance.
"Your trust, brother, is your weakness and actually, thanks for the sword".
Jaden's voice was of cunningness and evil menace.
The man with golden hair, slightly taller than the said Jaden,ached his brows in confusion. His golden glowing eyes narrowing as he eyed his supposed brother, Jaden.
"I don't like were this is going, Jaden.... What do you mean?"
The man with golden hair and golden armor asked, quite warily. He released a large amount of spiritual energy in an instant, as if as a warning to Jaden. Jaden only smiled evily.
"You trusted me with your sword and temporary control over it. That's your weakness.... Trust. Now, I'm gonna use it to kill you".
Jaden said in an instant, he swung the golden sword engraved with runes and lunged for the golden haired man.
