Three hundred years ago , King Chrome XIX with help of King of East and North destroyed the man who threatened to eradicate the world when he first appeared four hundred years ago . Events ensued from betrayal and thirst for power leading up to Selvesters , Weselton and others facing each other in a long battle to capture Venefics and gain more power .

CHROME ERA 416

"I wish internal energy recheck with night sky bless "

Bezos (thinking) : In all the time I have spent in Weselton, I have never heard of such an incantation and from what I know, Prince Keith had no such magic in Selvesters so what is going on ? Why is his eyes suddenly full of green aura swirling on his distinct red iris ? Incantation.. how could I have known it would be so ridiculous ?

Keith ( sighing relieved ): I am so glad it worked . Putting on a persona is really not my forte but this is my best chance to pretend that I possess some extraordinary magical power .

Few hours ago after both Keith and Felix had arrived at Inn from forest

Keith (yawning): Well ! See you at night. I am going to take long res..(raising his eyes as Felix moves closer to him quickly ) W-what .."

Felix (unfazed leaning on him as Keith putting his arms around him): "Stop getting flustered by such frivolities now . Just stay still."

Keith 's eyes wanders around to see if anyone was there. Finding no one , he closed his eyes feeling bit lighter . (Internal screaming) What is Felix doing?

Few seconds later , Felix moves away from Keith pulling his arms back

Felix (proud of himself) : " Now you are ready "

Keith ( pulls his hat down again as his one eyes gaze back at Felix ): " For what?"

Felix : "Just speak of this incantation even if in parts and you will be able to harness portion of my power because of Razvael also known as a pact between Venefic and human , the first one probably ever made so of course I am the one who coined it . But remember only portion so you won't win by it not on the amount you can harness but still at least you can hold off your enemy because of it and then beg for my help"

Keith (caressing his face ) : "I see ."

Now

Keith (smirking): "Wanna give up? " At least I can hope.

Bezos (shaking off the trance ) "You wish" I don't know what is this power but if he was really able to use it efficiently , then he would have used it back when I was about to kill him . It could be that his power is conditional in night time as he did say that ..but even so I will beat him.

Keith (with unmoved gaze at Bezos ) "Well ! Looks I have no choice then but to fight you "Just what is this guy going to transform himself into? Wait.. just what is this even ....

Bezos's whole body started to turn and twist almost as if skin itself was moulding itself inside out as red blood started to flow out .

Keith : Should I attack ? But I am not sure what kind of elements will be in his nearby domain ...

The blood suddenly rose up almost as if covering remanats of the bone flaked man as skin fell curled around in curves .

Keith (gasping as he tries to focus available energy on creating a sword ) " Just what is going to await me when the blood fa... That is ..not a man .

Bezos was completely transformed into a solid structure of red liquid with yellowish arms , greyish iron dividing his head marking equal parts of his face and purple spots covering his lowermost section like blotted ink. It was as if he was fired to make human carnelian into moulding of something that couldn't be comprehend .

Bezos : "Well then ! Let's get started, shall we ? " Before Keith could even conjure something , he was thrown away by sudden force to wall as the the brick started to crack on impact with chunks of limestone starting to fall on him.

Keith (moves away the debris falling as he lays down affixed to cracked wall ) "Not that is some upgrade you have got. Allow..." He was soon interrupted as a spear was thrown towards him which he barely managed to dodge by moving his head which etched itself into the wall.

Keith (huffing): Looks like I need to hurry . He is certainly not wasting any time . Just like our earlier battle , he keeps attacking relentlessly . But just how is he doing this ? "You have got my attention."

Keith knelt down on ground as another volley of spear came in his direction to dodge them but before he could use the chance to rush towards him , he felt something stabbing him in left leg .

Keith : "What the..." (thinking) How the hell did I get hit with that spear ? Is that thread ..but just how can he even make thread from something in body and control such heavy weapon from it? Well ! I need to take it out but if I do take it out , then he will choose that chance to attack me . If I don't , it would restrict my movement and also lead to my doom . Alright ! I guess here it goes .

Keith criss crossed his fingers interlocking them together as Bezos snarled.

Bezos (getting ready): "I don't have much left. I have to end this quick."

A bright flash of green light sparkled soaring through the sky in a phoenix form as it crashed into the moulded surface of Bezos .

Bezos (grunts) :" You think this would be enough to take me down ." As his body started to churn itself from itself inside in high speed creating glimmers of light as it clashed against the phoenix.

Keith (with his hands in pocket): "I just couldn't figure what were you using but then it clicked in my head . The human body might be made of numerous elements but you can't use all while keeping your conscience intact too . It should have been just impossible for you to suddenly use adipose tissue to weave into threads and yet you did . It should have been impossible for you to use the carbon in your body to create spears and then at same time correlate it with threads woven from adipose secretions . So just how did you even do it ? " As he dodges the as liquid was thrown in his direction which hit the nearby wall completely corroding it's structure as if it was eating it from inside.

Keith (presses his hand forward to drive the phoenix forward as it green flames intensify in his eyes almost as if reflecting the phoenix itself ): " But then there is always a magic to overcome something . A magic that can allow you to do even things that you shouldn't be able to do because of your limits .You sacrificed your life the moment you transformed . "

"What I am talking to is a dead body with remanats of organism with set of spells to direct towards me as your entirely dissolves to the only reservoir that could store all that internal instability . The most powerful and hardworking part of our somatic self ....(raises his eyes ) Digestive system ... Hydrochloric acid ."

Bezos (as the churning stops ) looks at Keith whose eyes peered into him .

Keith (tilts his head ): "Well ! Looks like your ..(as the phoenix suddenly disappeared screeching as the mould wrapped itself around it )

Keith (taking a step back in disbelief ): "My ..phoenix got swallowed . But how can that be ? There is no way you can absorb magic ."

Bezos (snarls as the liquid sticky figure raises it's arms as if shadowing over him ): "You forgot something , Prince . Conscience can stay even after death for around twenty minutes and I still have plenty of time while you have no weapon now ."

Keith (gulping ): This is really bad . What do I do now ? I can't acess more of Felix's power, my power just doesn't work and he has around ten minutes to come after me and by the rate his attacks were earlier , it would have only increased after swallowing that magical energy.

A sharp incision cuts Keith on his cheek as blood splattered out . "What the .." Keith held his hand over his face . " His attack was so fast . What do I do ?

Scene shifts

Negika was lying on ground with her vision barely working as blood oozed from her head . Just how many bones she had broken , she had lost count the moment Felix dragged her through the walls like sweeping off the bricks by using her as mobile shovel.

Negika (writhing ) " ..eehhh." Even though she tried , it didn't seem like she could form words in her throat .

Felix (smirking): Having trouble speaking . Don't worry . I have something else prepared for you .

Negika (confused) : "What is this monster talking about ...wait ..why are sounds of footsteps increasing even though he isn't moving ?"

A man dressed in millitary standard uniform comes running as he approaches the duo.

Guard: Hey ! What is going on ? Are you having a scuffle ? You know that fighting brutally is banned ...

Felix (bows his head holding his coat ): "I am sorry for your misconception. I implore you to take a look at this woman. She was trying to attack me even though she was already injured. I just managed to hit her in jaw as she was about to attack me ...

Guard (as he glances at her ): "Why ? That is the Negika, the criminal who escaped all the way from capital and went on killing spree ..(rests his hand on Felix's shoulder ) You are lucky that she was already injured or you might have been her next victim ."

Felix (nodding his head ):" Yes sir ! I am so glad you came in time ."

Guard (smiling ) :" Hey lad ! At best you are sixteen . You better hurry to your home . It is already getting late . I better take her in custody ." (as he handcuffs Negika who was lying bruised on ground with wide open mouth )

Felix (shakes guard's hand ): "You are right . " He gives Negika one last look as his face broke into smile before finally departing.

Negika (thinking as she was dragged away by guard) : "That Venefic ...he planned it . The very moment he placed that barrier around him , he was expecting me to make more clones and divide my energy so that he could enact this scene . Now it all makes sense as to why he was heading in this particular direction and dropped me here .

He must have realised that I was criminal and used thar to his advantage . He crushed my throat so I can't blurt anything out and now guard would never know he is Venefic while he can walk away under guise of victim who was saved from my killing spree. So if I had listened, would I have avoided all this ? ..if I had listened to that monster, would I have been able to realise that I wasn't the top of food chain? "

Felix (with nonchalant look on his face after walking some distance away ):" Well ! The plan worked after all and my identity remains hidden but now to find Prince . He should be fine with my power but it is also possible that enemy is stronger . In that case , I guess I just need to move quickly in all directions until I find him. "

The wind crackled like lightning as Felix rushed in a lane with his fair flying loose ."Not a problem . I still have enough magic to spare ."

Scene shifts

After the departure of Prince Keith, things had gotten quiet in certain parts of town . There was no one to fawn over for people as Prince Milan hadn't even once interacted with common people .

The only one who were allowed to meet Prince Milan were important nobles that were responsible for managing the adminstration . More than four days had gone and Prince Milan had started to draw more attention of nobles ,now that Keith was gone in order to woo him.

Milan (throwing away a piece of paper ):" This document is nothing but a mere mockery . You need to learn literature, Mihaenil before presenting me with such bland analysis of royal funds . Your accounts can hardly be even comprehended . Each word and statement is like dotted by a child ."

Mihaenil, the minister of finance tried to contain his anger as he gazed at Prince who was lying on bed yawning as if his work wasn't even worth to make Milan get out of his bed.

Mihaenil (cajouling) :" Surely you must be exhausted, my prince to ..

Milan (narrows his eyes as he rises up partially) : "So you think your document is so great that you would question my health . Listen well . A trash is nothing more than trash .And that work is the greatest mockery that someone of your stature can pull off . So you are dismissed . "

Mihaenil takes his leave picking his document as he closes the door walking in corridor quietly.

Mihaenil(gnashing his teeth in anger ) "That smug bastard . I would show him too .."

As a messenger approached him , he calmed himself down to hear the news . Minister of Defence,Sylveson and Minister of commerce, Lihaen walks by as they glance at scene .

Lihaen (joking) : "Mihaenil sure seems to contact messengers quite often these days . Is situation in Selvesters stable or not ?"

Sylveson (blinking his eyelids ) :" Surely you heard the rumour, Lihaen ?"

Lihaen (confused ): What rumour?

Sylveson : You see ......

Few minutes after departure of Mihaenil

Milan (brooding) : " I need to be careful and vigilant . That Mihaenil. He is suspected to be cooperating Weseltonians especially now that his Messenger network has increased . But still I can't be sure . In order to make him hate me even more , I need to do something more drastic so that he takes step towards harming me and if that situation is contrived , then he will be the one guilty for sure . I wonder just what can I do to tick someone off . After all , it is so hard to make people hate me ." (wonders smiling)

Sylveson (with determined look): So you see , the palace guards and everyone is keeping close watch on him. It is just a matter of time before he is caught in his act .

Lihaen (nods in understanding )" Still ! I don't understand why he would betray us like that ? He does know that we are the one in most advantageous position against other nations and Ardania. "

Sylveson (putting his hand on chin): " Who knows ? It is just such a sombre fact that there is traitorous wretch among us !"

Lihaen (agreeing):" You are right, Sylv. It doesn't matter what reason right now . If he is the betrayer, then he will pay the price for that ."

As ministers continue their chatter , Prince Milan sets out with a plan he concocted ahead in order to catch Mihaelin himself.

Someone: "Surely ! You know who is the betrayer, King ? So why are you not taking action right now ?" As he looked at King Lucius who was looking outside window as crescent moon embarked its glory emanating silver specs even inside the dark chamber .

King Lucius (as his silver hair brushes against shoulders )" Of course I know . But it is only fair , isn't it to test both my sons . I am looking forward to how Milan will find the traitor with his attitude. Keith must have been attacked by now which is only natural as the traitor must have supplied information about his travel to someone in Meran . Both are standing at their trials and I won't interfere with that ."

Person (widening their eyes )" Your highness, I didn't know you would put your own sons in deliberate danger ...."

King Lucius (chuckles) "Of course I would . If they aren't even worthy of overcoming such trifles , then how will they become what I want them to be . They both have long way to go before getting ready for throne of Selvesters and in order to prepare them , I would do anything...(as his blue eyed shone as if engraving silver specs scattered by skylight moon)
