The Great Confusion
As a troubled mind can't find peace except a solution is given to the problems threatening his peace, so was the very stands of all the Guests who watched, seeing the drama unfolds before their very eyes...
"Huh"
"What's happening inside the king's castle that kept the crown prince and all the Royals from coming forth to attend to the Guest?"
"Even the elders had gone in for some time now and none have thought it wise to come to speak forth."
"It will be wise if we all be patient for now, I trust the issues will go well as wished."
"Yes, as wished."
"We only pray all is well and hope nothing is wrong."
"If no one comes out soon, I will have to go see things for myself, you all will have to calm the Guest down."
The seven High Princes who are members of the supreme king's lineage who rule the seven parts of the universe with the supreme king being the lord over them had been restless for quite some time now and as such aired their frustration concerning the screams, shout and wailings coming forth from the castle...
Eager to go inside the castle to confirm the situation of things but were hindered by 'Prince Oxi', the oldest prince in their midst...
However, due to the delay of the elders who went in earlier and beholding the restlessness of the Guest, 'Prince Oxi' felt like going in himself...
The eagerness of the Guest that came for the occasion was heightened to the sky...even on the verge of collapsing and this had mounted pressure on the 'seven high princes.'
"Yes, Prince Oxi, it's better to be informed than stand here waiting."
*Nodding his head in acceptance of what the other prince said*
"I have to go now brothers, please try to keep the Guest calm before I return."
***Kriiiiiii***
*The entrance door of the king's court, leading to the castle was pushed opened*
"O! Finally the elders are here.." Prince Oxi spoke upon seeing the elders walked in...
*The appearance of the elders was far from cheerful, the gloom was broadly spelled out and this...this look punched the prince's to the edge of hopelessness..*
"Huh"
"Elder Kios (kingmaker)!!"
"Elder tsuna(youngest elder)!!"
"Elders of the universe, what's wrong?"
"Why are your faces crestfallen?"
Prince Oxi in his wisdom spoke in an almost inaudible tone to the elders to conceal the matter from the Guest if need be and also to be aware first hand of the info brought forth by the elders...
Not knowing how to place the issue relating to the king's death before the seven princes, the elders hesitated...
"Why the hesitation, please speak up, is all well? The curious eyes of the seven princes were fixed intently of the elders in expectation of something good."
"Why the hesitation elder Kios?"
"Elders, you're troubling us with your silence, please speak up.."
Prince Oxi was curious to know what happened...
A prince of his stands can't be scared of bad news even if it is the worst of them all but....not all can be shock absorbed...
*Hesitating for a while, elder Kios spoke up after staring at his fellow elders and finding non who is eager to speak up... it's a shock wave they're still yet to recover from*
*In a low tone*
Beckoning to the prince...
"THE KING IS DEAD.."
A heavy shock wave rushed through the body of the 'seven high princes'...
Reacting as one who's about to experience convulsion...
The eyes of the seven princes were rolled to a ball as they stared intently on elder Kios in disbelief...
Looking at the remaining six elders with their mouth agape to confirm the news they just heard...
"Humm"
The elders gave a nod to confirm the authenticity of the News...
***Boom!!!***
As if hit by a moving train at high speed, the 'seven princes' could feel their souls departing in shock...
A strong aura of silence broke forth between the elders and the princes that created a powerful shock on the guest as they saw the dialogue between both parties...
*Words are spoken in random from the Guest*
"Can anyone please explain to me the reality of things?"
"Since the elders returned from the king's castle, the news they brought has made the 'seven high princes' look pale as if short of blood.."
"I hope things ain't as messy as I behold from the reaction of the princes to what was said to them by the elders.."
"Let's be hopeful it isn't that bad."
The youngest prince in their midst, after much hesitation between them...
*Pant*
"Y..yo...you mean the supreme Gods is dead or what are you insinuating?"
The young prince known as prince Oxa asked in disbelief as if not hearing what was vividly said...
Elder Kios replying with a nod...
"Hum-hum"
It's as if the universe is forever doomed and strange magic that can not be fathom just descended on the supreme ruler of the worlds...
*Sigh*
"How in the world can this be?"
"It's impossible for the supreme Gods to die before the stipulated time for Gods of his caliber and power to pass on."
"This is strange magic, how could this even be happening?"
Elder tsuna, seeing the confusion of the others and not having a clue of explanation to give to the high prince thought it wise to end the drama by accepting reality...
"Prince Oxa, from the look of things, what can we do? We've also thought on these questions of yours and no answer could be put forth to be the cause of this calamity which just befell us, so, instead of dropping in one place, I would advise we accept reality and move on to what can and should be done next..."
The rest six elders agreed to what elder tsuna said...
However, the princes are still in disbelief concerning the king's demise...
Prince Oxi speaking almost inaudibly...
"The supreme Gods ought to live at least twelve million years, how in the worlds could that be halved?"
"This is unacceptable, something is wrong here...some strange magic beyond what can be explained is at work.."
