With his boots hot on the floors, the sound of the army behind the King there footsteps echoed through the castle and into the victims room.
His feet threw the door open, and his concubine jerked up from the bed.
"I took you in, spared your life gave you shelter and you betrayed me. You are a sorceress."
The Kings words felt like fire in her bones, Zarek hid behind the yellow curtains his purple eyes piercing through trying to get a view.
"Please…"
The King took her to the top of the castle and summoned the people.
"This is the punishment for treason.."
The woman screamed as the King violently thrusted in and out of her before the people.
She bled to death.
The people held there chests with there hands and laid down mourning.
The King took Zarek and showed him his mother's body.
"That my son is how you treat treason learn from me."
As Zarek stood before his mother's body his eyes seemed to glow even more.
King Voss did not notice but an old woman in the crowd did.
The old woman stepped forward, she had never seen a more evil King than the one before her.
" You think you have succeeded in chasing magic away from the kingdom, but right under your nose someone will arise and destroy you."
King Voss wasted no time in ordering the guards the sieze the old lady but she disappeared before they got near her.
Zarek ran into the library and wept, he longer for his mother but the more he cried the more hopeless he felt.
Now that was twelve years ago, Zarek was now eighteen years old.. His father had remarried and his daughter was sixteen years old.
Zarek went into the library once again to study and stay away from the blood shed.
When he heard someone or something call his name, it was a book.
The book did not stop calling out to him until Zarek took it . The cover was a dragon which had purple eyes.
"Come with me.." Zarek felt an energy pull him into the book, and there he met the ancestors of his father's..
"It is not in your destiny to be here, you must leave your father has found out about who you are, any moment from now he will find you."
Meanwhile King Voss was in the bedroom with the royal sorceress when her eyes sparkled and she saw something horrifying.
"Tell me what you saw, you look terrible, I was just in the mood but your facial expression has ruined everything."
King Voss said calmly.
" There is magic in the palace." The sorceress spelt out as obviously as she could.
"Of course, I am magic myself, I am the last sorcerer in the land of Eryndor." The King responded proudly.
"There is another sorcerer in the palace, your son Zarek."
The King remembered what the old woman said, how could he have being so careless. Of course his son would possess powers just as he does.
He needed to find a way to próove the sorceress statement.
"If this is true, you will have your reward, but if this is a lie you will pay dearly for it. I hope for your sake it is true."
The King stepped out and went to Zarek room but he was not there, he would return later to check on him.
"I am sending you back to your room now, remember everything you have seen and heard."
The dragon touched Zareks forehead and he saw himself in his room on his bed.
He sat up and thought about what the dragon said.
Looking at his palms, he said. " I have magic, my magic is special it connected to my mind."
He repeated the dragons words.
King Voss came once again, and saw Zarek sitted on his bed. The King smiled it was time to carry out his plan.
"Ignis Vora.." King Voss called out silently and suddenly fire emerged from the ground taking over Zareks room.
The King hid to watch what would become of him.
Zarek remained calm, he did not yell for help instead he walked towards the fire..
The fire moved according to his hands and then he vanished.
"He did not even need to chant a spell." The King wondered, the King out the fire and went to put on his war boots.
The sound of bells stirred up fear in the hearts of the people.
" Find him and kill him."
As the King ordered the death of his son Zarek, his sister Nyraxa stared in confusion.
Unaware of the fact that her mother would be the next to fall by the sword.
Nyraxa went to her maid and questioned her.
"Why does my father hate magic so much?."
The maid explained to her that her father was afraid of treason, he was afraid that one day someone would be able to stand up against him.
Nyraxa never liked Zerak for some reason, she wanted her father's attention. She was the last child but her father gave him more attention simply because he was the heir.
"You brother has being declared wanted for treason my lady."
The maid informed her, Nyraxa waved her hands and told the maid to leave.
"Finally, I will have my father's love and the throne all to my self. I do not care where he went to I hope he never comes back."
Nyraxa spoke to herself.
On the third day of every month, the humans and magicians came together to celebrate the creation of Eryndor.
But ever since Voss became the king no one stepped out of there tower…
The King killed anyone he saw on the streets that day, it was quite unfortunate that the queen was caught red-handed that very day.
The guards threw her before the King like a commoner.
" Do you plead guilty or not guilty." The King stared at his fingers, what ever her plea was he was going to murder her anyway.
No one cheats on the King and lives to tell the story.
