Chapter 3: War

"I saw the war!" These are the words of the Ti'amo kingdom ruler, Monae, as she was narrating her dream to the elder council of the great kingdom.

"What can be done to prevent this from coming to pass?" One of the elders asked in fear and curiosity.

"Nothing can be done, as we will need to prepare ourselves for whatever will come our way," Monae answered.

"But there has never been a war or chaos in this great kingdom after the seal was forged and cast into the sea of Haydren. What do you think can be the cause of this?" Another elder asked.

"I don't know, but I think these are signs to make us Prepare ourselves in order not to get consumed by the unknown evil that is coming. Summon all the warriors, I will need to speak to them at once." She ordered!

All the warriors were summoned and they all gathered in their large number.

"We need to get ourselves Prepared, as dark and evil times are coming... I see war and blood everywhere, I see the greatest evil and unforgettable blood bath of all time coming." Monae said with a loud voice without any traces of fear or fright on her face.

"Let it be known across the whole kingdom of Ti'amo that, trying times are approaching and we need to be strong. This war is inevitable, we need to be strong and fight for our land and our great kingdom.

Where the war is coming from, we don't know yet, but we need to get prepared... Gather foods, all livestock, and make a safe place for all children and the old, for War and chaos are coming."

These were the exact words she said to them and departed from their presence. This news did not get down well with all the people of the kingdom, as they are all known for peace and have not engaged in any sort of war or battle for a very long time.

They were all filled with fear but had no choice but to prepare as ordered by Monae, the ruler of the great Ti'amo kingdom. She is loved and adored all over the kingdom for her good heart and compassionate act towards all, and even animals are nothing to compare with. Monae is truly a great leader with a pure heart and has good intentions towards all the people in the kingdom.

At Ethinora kingdom, they have no cause for alarm as everything was going on smoothly and all their crops and livestock were all doing well.

Joy and happy feelings filled every corner of the great kingdom under the leadership of the great Owen of Ethinora kingdom.

He was a man of great valor, and good and exemplary leadership, as all his subjects and people in the kingdom loved him and his family.

Owen has been married to Kaylan for about ten years without a child, but that never reduced their love for each other, as the whole kingdom prays for a child for the royal home.

One morning, Owen took a normal routine walk with some of his warriors into the woods to do some sightseeing around the kingdom. Suddenly, they saw all the guards at the far entrance were all killed except for one who was badly injured and was in a pool of blood.

"What is happening here, who or what could have done this?" Owen asked the injured warrior, as he was filled with rage and anger.

The only word the warrior could say before he stopped breathing was, "The Fiko are bringing war".

"War? Fiko? what are you saying?" Owen was just in rage, as he grew angrier.

The guards were all dead and the small hut that they all usually rest in has been burnt down to ashes, as the staff that was carrying the Ethinora kingdom symbol has been removed and replaced with Fiko's kingdom symbol.

"Why will Lazaro want war and why has he picked Ethinora for war? No more war was declared since the seal was cast into the sea of Haydren, what do they want? They have killed our own and the war we will give to them!" Owen said with an angry voice.

This news went all over the other kingdoms and was more of a confirmation to the Ti'amo kingdom, over what their Leader told them.

Lazaro sent his three messengers who are in the form of shadow birds to the Hazizuz kingdom, with a written word that was inscribed on a brick.

The messengers arrived at the Hazizuz kingdom at night, and they transformed into humans... ''We bring you a message from the great Lazaro of Fiko kingdom'' they said.

The guards of the Hazizuz kingdom escorted them into the royal chamber of the kingdom but were not warm in welcoming them.

The message was delivered to the king's message reader and the moment he was about to read it, what he saw was frightening and unpleasant to the readout.

"Read out the message to my listening at once!" Eddie, the king of the Hazizuz kingdom ordered as he grew impatient with his reader.

"My Lord, the king of Fiko kingdom has asked you to surrender our kingdom to him and agree to be under him, or he brings you to war." The message reader said in fear.

King Eddie of Hazizuz kingdom was filled with anger and before he ordered his guards to cease the messengers from Fiko kingdom, they transformed into birds and flew away from the palace until they disappeared.

"I was born with the breath of the beast and I will never surrender this great kingdom or shy away from war. I am Eddie, the ruler of the great Hazizuz kingdom!" He howls in anger.

And all his guards and warriors howl in uniform to support what their King has said.

"We are war and the terror you believe you stand for! Lazaro of Fiko, Prepare for us the terror that walks at night. We are the Nightwalkers!"

Eddie said with anger as his eyes turned completely red.
