Dragon King 11 Celina

at the foot of the mountains, near the neighboring village, aglovale overhead the private guards of the lord of gold vein mine whispering to themselves about the ident.i.ty of their unexpected guests and it's authenticity, wondering who is the guests is to get such treatment from their master, but they curiosity was laid to rest after they picked up trace of magic, peculiar to the royal guards, and they presume their guests is truly the Prince and he came with the royal guards as his escort but left them there and they are Waiting for his return

sensing trouble ahead, aglovale turned towards the smiling Fredrick, who is busy thinking of Celina "" hey snap out of it dude, we are in a big mess and you are smiling??""

""what wrong??, are the guards

trying something funny??""

"" no but I overhead one of them talking about some royal guards magic scent he picked up, and they all think the guards came with us and they are waiting for us, but you know what that means"" aglovale replied, still looking around for any escape route in case the guards close up in them""

feeling nervous "" how on earth is it even possible for them to get our current location??""

coming up with an idea ""we have to keep it cool and before we get to the second of the last mountain we will relieve this guards of their duty to escort us and go round the mountain, back to the village, and we go free your love Bird from prison"" aglovale spit out his plan, smiling as he is Savior of the day

""alright I get it, ok listen up every one, you all can go back to your master, as some of you already know my personal convoy are eagerly waiting for my return at the other side of this mountains and is of not use to walk me back to the other side"" speaking with iota of nervousness laced in his voice, hoping his plan to get rid of the guards works

"" but my price, sir bardolph instructed us himself,to ensure we take you safely to the other side of the mountains"" one of the guards said in protest

""if I leave things this way, those Royal brat will get us or will even overhead us if we move 50 feet more, something have to be done quickly"" aglovale thought to himself

"" how dare you, defile the Prince wish??!!, tell me who do you serve??, the throne and who sit on it?? or the lord of gold vein mine??, who is also a loyal subject to the throne"" aglovale yelled with authority laced in his voice and anger

""Am sorry sir, I didn't mean to be rude, please pardon my ignorance"" the guard apologized in fear of aglovale outburst and they all squirt away leaving the duo as they watch the retreating guards, before executing their new plan, heading towards the second last mountains

Aglovale still p.i.s.sed off at the whole scenario ""you are such a weakling, how can a mere guard oppose your order in favour to his master, a subject of your father the king""

trying to defend himself"" am not a weakling bro, am just kind and am going soft on them, you know they are mere guards and are only following orders

""you better wise up boy that throne you see is not for the kind hearted, you already know the politics going on in the palace""

"" that throne, you see gives the illusion of power and authority, but I tell you my friend, power still need the support, if you have been in the royal court meeting and see how helpless my father the mighty king is when the council of ministers turn against him on an issue then you will understand""

"" wake up Fredrick, Lion is the king of the jungle, he didn't earn that t.i.tle by it brute strength or its intelligence, it not the fastest nor the smartest but yet nature favoured him and have him that t.i.tle""

"" yes I know, and that is why you should never abuse the privilege and power placed on you by nature for nature is kind enough to elevate you, you should be kind to others"" fredrick chipped in

""who is your royal Teacher and tutor??, he should be hang on a gallon, for loading you with such rubbish, have you seen the lion feasting before??, because the lion is bestowed upon with royalty he never merit, now means he should starve to death??, nature chosed him among others and him and his fellow cat family don't joke with that position, they don't eat gra.s.s like other animals and they guild their territory fiercely, before you a.s.sume the throne, you should go to the lion for some lectures."""

""stop comparing humans and animals, if I should go by your ideology that means you will be grovelling at my feet every minute of your life, what do you even know about royalty and kings.h.i.+p, you...."""

in a low voice, almost like a whisper "" quiet, we will continue this argument some other time but we right now we have dozens of guards to sneak pa.s.s"" bending down, to avoid being spotted "" you see that end?! at the far East, it has little security, because all their security are concentrated at the north, ahead of us, the west is out of the question as we can't cross the road to the other side,"" already crawling towards the east part of the mountains""

""how many guards are we even talking about??"" Fredrick asked following aglovale behind

"" I see twenty-one of them, I don't know how many are out of view, and one dude with golden armour and hair covering one of his eye""

hurrying past aglovale "" dam it!! that must be sir Jarrett, the hawk eyes""

"" calm down bro, what up with the rush??"", trying to reduce the pace between him and Fredrick "" don't tell me you are afraid of that guy in golden armour, what is his name again?? j.a.pheth?? Jared?? or whatever he calls himself""

""sir Jarrett, that guy is the last person you Wana play hide and seek with, we have approximately 5 minutes to leave this mountains, if we Wana get to Celina, that guy is short tempered and will cast a spell that will fish us out if he doesn't see us sooner than later, I strongly believe those guards are aware of the private guards that escorted us and will be expecting us""

"" this is bad, why don't you give up and go home?? this is suicidal you know....""

cutting him off"" we are about to pa.s.s the last guard, so get ready to run""

Aglovale a.n.a.lyzing the situation, set up the plan "" no, that will only attract the guards to you, you see that man pus.h.i.+ng truck, when he gets to the side, you hide behind the truck behind their view and I will join the man in pus.h.i.+ng the truck, by that we will eliminate any suspicions

debtor's prison

in one corner of the village, is the debtor's prison, a place so dread and feared by all due to it cruelty and brutality, it is rumored that even the strongest of all, is broken and spirit crushed, once inside the jurisdiction of the magistrate, who runs the prison; even the architectural design of the prison is inhumane, the prison is made up of metal and earth building With little or no drainage system, some cells have no window and are devoured of light, some of this prison cell are specifically made for the stubborn inmates, who tend to break free, before sending an inmate to its prison cell, it's magic flow acupoint is blocked, rendering the person useless, and until the requirements for bail are met, the person might die in custody; the prison cell is built side by side forming rows of cells, several of such rows are lined up and fire style user as prison guards patrolling the whole area, if any inmate disturb, they use their fire to heat the metal structure of the prison to bright red thereby burning the inmate inside, some time, the metal will overheat and microwaved the inmate to death

Fredrick and aglovale are walking the rows of the prison cells like other people in search of their love ones, in the third row aglovale spotted Celina and points towards her cell

"" there she is lover boy, go rescue your princess for you are her knight in s.h.i.+ning armor""

both of them walked down to her cell, and they both locked eye, looking at the girl's innocent face, it was as if time stood still and both of them watch at other like they have known each other for age "" am here for you now, you don't have to suffer like this again for I will do everything within my capacity to protect you"" Fredrick though to himself

still in the middle of endless staring "" the air around here is getting emotional and i don't like it"" aglovale behind Fredrick came forward and cleared his throat "" hmm-hmm, hey scaredy cat how are you doing, you need not worry for your prince charming is here to rescue you""

Celina shot him, her dearly eyes capable of x-raying through his body but wish the strange boy is bail her as his companion have said; aglovale is not bothered by the look and he moved back to Fredrick and whisper to his ear, "" are you gonna stand here all day staring at her or you are gonna be her hero and save the day, remember those dam guards are still on our trail""

Fredrick nod in approval"" who is in charge of this debtor's prison?""

the Lord of debtor's prison, a bald head man in his late 50s came running rather slowly as if he will fall to the side "" h.e.l.lo welcome to debtor's prison, who among these inmates is your love one, you look responsible and respectful, I guess you are just a visitor and don't have any body here""

"" actually I do, and am here for her, I wish for her to be transfer to me immediately, as am behind schedule"" Fredrick replied the old man, handing over the letter to him

the old man skim through the letter and ordered his subordinate to unlock the cell

EARTH STYLE:: MICE TUNNEL ( a spell used mainly to pa.s.s through obstacles, just like a nice,)

immediately a hole is drilled through the earthen part of Celina cell, come here my daughter, the old man said in a kind voice and when Celina was close enough, his next action shocked every body present

BLOOD MAGIC:: 16 TRIANGLE PALM ( a spell used to unlock and Lock away the magic ability of the target)

in a split of minutes, he is through with his spell and the pressure and shock from the attack made Celina fall, but she immediately gets up, feeling sudden release of energy as the magic energy is gradually following from its acupoints

""am sorry for the inconveniences but I have to restore your magic essence and energy back"" the old man apologized to her

"" sir can you restore magic energy that have been sealed for years"" recovering from the shock and surprise Aglovale asked the old man, praying for a favourable answer

"' yes of course but it will....""

""everybody stay still in the name of the king""the old man was cut short by the Royal guards who have surrounded the whole debtor's prison

the old man walks out to invite them inside, while some people run away, Aglovale is already on his heels to continue the fleeing but stop halfway when he noticed Fredrick is not following behind, Celina is getting ready to fight off the guards and run away but was stopped by Fredrick

"" by virtue of that contract, I have gained total owners.h.i.+p of you and I order you to stand down"" fredrick spoke to Celina for the first time, after the fight and she wonder who the h.e.l.l is fredrick to order her around

"" Prince Fredrick, this little game of hide and seek is over, I know you are in there and we both know you can't hide from me, so let's save our energy for something else, am begging you come out let go home, don't make me take you out by force"" sir Jarrett shouted from the inside of the guards as he find his way to the front of the guards

""alright you win, stand your ground and don't hurt anybody, I will be out in a jiffy!!"" Fredrick yelled back to sir Jarrett

"" come with me to the palace, we can still snick out again, if you don't like it there"" still watching the encroaching guards

"" am not going anywhere with you, the palace is the last place I want to go"" with that Celina cast a spell

EARTH STYLE:: BUDDHA'S ARMOUR ( layers of rock covered her body and she try to run through the guards))

"" get her"" Fredrick yelled and the guards engage her in a battle

""leave that to me"", stepping out of the front line sir Jarrett motion his boys to stand down as he crack his fingers for battle

SAND STYLE:: GOLD DUST RAIN ( the entire area turns to yellow as gold dust fell from the sky)

the yellow sand that fell on Celina's armour disintegrated into her armour and gradually the armour fell off leaving her vulnerable to attack

on the control of the gold dust, more and more gold dust rest on her and soon she is covered in golden armour unable to move

"" what do you say?? are you coming along"" fredrick turned back to aglovale

"" why not!!, let go experience palace life"" walking back toward fredrick, aglovale gave him a positive reply, thinking of how life inside the palace will be
