Chapter 43

Duren captured

Duren entered a chariot and made his way to Oberon kingdom

At Oberon

The team in Oberon kingdom can be seen discussing happily in Alysia's room as there is their main place of meeting

Lydia: My parents approve of our marriage, I am so happy. Although, I haven't known about your dad

Prince Kelly: I am a guy, my dad will easily agree, I'm not even the crowned prince to begin with, so he wouldn't say a word but congratulations (Lydia smiled)

Alysia: Congratulations love birds

Lydia: Thanks Sisi

Prince Kelly: Thanks princess

Lydia: The joy is that my parents will leave here soon. Their presence kind of suffocates me

Postinur: Haha. Crazy girl (They all laugh)

Lydia: But Kelly, when we get married, Are we going to Crystal, your kingdom or we will remain here since Alysia hasn't released you of your being her right hand man

Kelly: Hmm. That depends

First of all, we aren't getting married any sooner, we will do the wedding after this battle, I don't want to wed in war but in peace

Lydia: Agreed

Postinur: Ofcourse

Kelly: Again, if Alysia releases me, we will wed in Lystra and live our lives together with our coming children (Lydia coughs and the team laughs) What? Of Course after the marriage, we will copulate and you will give me my beautiful children, most of them girls, because I want many of your faces around me

Alysia: Aww, so sweet

Lydia: I'm getting shy. (They all laugh again)

Kelly: Anyways, as I was saying, we will continue our lives in Crystal kingdom if Alysia, relieves me of being her right hand man but if she doesn't, we would wed here and live here in Lystra kingdom and palace.

Lydia: Alright

Alysia: I am not that bad a girl. I will relieve you once the battle is over. Then you guys can go all lovey dovey forever in Crystal kingdom

Lydia: I love you Sisi. (Hugs her)

Postinur: This is so beautiful, I wanna cry

Kelly: Me too. But men don't cry

Postinur: Yes, men don't cry (Alysia and Lydia laugh at them)

A guard comes to knock at the door of Alysia's room

Alysia: Yes, who's there?

Guard: Your majesty, the princess, a good evening to you. (Bows even though Alysia can't see him)

Alysia: Good evening to you too.

Guard: My princess, there is a visitor in the waiting room, wanting to see you

Alysia: Me?

Guard: Yes, I asked him if it was the king but he said no that he wants to see you

Alysia: Hmm, where is Dad?

Guard: Your highness, the king is with the dukedom in the theater room watching some play

Alysia: I don't know anyone intimately, I don't have friends, so why visit me?

Lydia: Maybe it's one of those women and their affairs, you know, aunt is sadly gone, you are to fill in for her

Alysia: Oh, you are right. (To the guard) Do you know who the person is that came to see me?

Guard: Yes, my princess, it is the King of Lystra kingdom

Lydia: Duren, What does he want?

Alysia: Um okay, tell him I am coming

Guard: Yes your majesty. (Leaves)

Postinur: What does Duren want?

Alysia: I don't know yet

Lystra: Anybody can change to anybody, it might not even be Duren

Alysia: Even Duren himself is harmful, might be under the spell of Cynthia

Postinur: Nah. Cynthia isn't evil

Kelly: Whatever it is, let's go together, on guard, to be careful

Alysia: Right!

They all leave together to meet Duren in the visitor's room, Postinur vanishing there invisibly

Duren: I want to meet with you alone, Alysia

Alysia: They are no stranger, you can talk to me in their presence

Duren: (Walks to Alysia and speaks in her ear) It's about the Prophecy

Alysia: You know about it?

Duren: And I have come to talk to you concerning it

Alysia: You can say it out loud, they aren't strangers about the prophecy, they are in fact both in the battle with me

Duren: Is that so? (Alysia nods) Then let's all have our seats, I prefer sitting on this talk (They sit on a sofa besides him, all three, together in the long sofa, while Duren in a short one)

Firstly, I want to see my brother, where is he?

Alysia: What brother?

Duren: Oh, stop pretending please, Cynthia told me everything. My brother is a ghost and he is always with you. Please let me see him, I want to see his face and know him, I have always wanted to see him

Alysia: Hmm, (Turns to Lydia and Kelly) Is he the real Duren? My bracelet doesn't blink but Who knows, evil can manipulate anything.

So Kelly, you can sense evil, is he real?

Kelly: He is real

Alysia: Postinur if he is real, reveal yourself, if he is not real stay invisible (Postinur reveals himself)

Postinur: Hey baby brother

Duren: Brother! (Runs to him as Postinur is at the end of the room) can I hug you?

Postinur: As far as I am revealed, you can

Duren: (tears rushed out from his eyes as he hugs his brother) Oh brother! I have missed you forever.

You look just like me, well, as expected more handsome

Postinur: (chuckles) And looking at you, one would think you are the eldest, because I don't age

Duren: Classic, too. Oh, I wish mother was here to witness this. (Disengages from him) But she is dead, killed by Diana who took the throne

Postinur: I know, I saw her dying

Duren: You saw her?!

Postinur: Yes, I always visit Lystra to see how you are both faring. I watch you grow too

Duren: You were with me even when I wished you were?

Postinur: Yes, I was

Duren: But why didn't you tell me about all this brother?

Postinur: I didn't want to expose you to danger. It was best that you were kept in the dark

Duren: No, It's best I know. At Least I have seen you, my biggest wish fulfilled!

Kelly: So touching!

Duren: Anyways, I came to alert you guys, seems like Lydia and The other guy is to be alerted too

Kelly: (walks up to Duren) I am prince Kelly, last prince of Crystal kingdom. I am a wizard too, half blood.

Duren: Wow, nice. I am King Duren, King of Lystra kingdom (they shake hands)

Since we all know each other now. Let me get talking.

Diana is dead, Cynthia killed her and made her go into exile

Alysia: Why is she dead?

Lydia: Isn't she supposed to battle Alysia or something? I mean, didn't the prophecy say that she would battle you, Aly and be an obstruction?

Postinur: This only means one thing. The prophecy is changing

Prince Kelly: Changing for our good?

Postinur: No. It is going quickly and bypassing rules just to be fulfilled. It is even going against itself. Thanatos wants to end the prophecy quickly

Alysia: Why is that?

Duren: I think because his light side is trying to dominate and over power his dark side

Kelly: We are not sure about that, we shouldn't let ourselves be caught unawares

Postinur: We will be on guard

Lydia: Duren already knows everything. He is now in danger and part of the battle

Duren: Meaning, I am in the team?

Alysia: We will decide that and give you news, later

Duren: Alright. I have somewhere to be now. I will have to go now

Kelly: Okay, King

Lydia: Goodbye

Alysia: See you later to tell you our decision

Duren: Sure. (Turns to Postinur and hugs him) Later brother

Postinur: Yes, King Duren (Duren smiles and leaves)

Duren on his way to Lystra by the chariot, his horse turned to the direction of the bush

Duren: I don't understand, where are you going to?

A Demon, second in command of Thanatos abducts him and takes him to the dark realm
