The Awakening of the Forgotten King

In the depths of the forest and inside a cave there is a huge castle where the spirits scream, and at the throne of a person who must never wake up.

When he opened his eyes only, the spirits felt extreme terror and began to enter their places.

That person moved his finger, and then a spirit advanced toward him.

“Ouras, obey my command. Tell me, how long have I slept?”

“You have slept for a few centuries, my lord, since your last duel with the son of King Org.”

“Then tell me about the outside world.”

“My lord, what do you ask about?”

“I ask about the power of the son of King Org.”

“My lord, he has died long ago, so that power does not exist now.”

“Ouras, do you know what awakened me?”

“I do not know, my lord.”

“I saw a vision. A person standing before me who will make the battle that will happen between us as if my battle with the son of King Org was nothing. And that boy carries a key we need.”

“Then, my lord, may I know who he is?”

“I do not know. But whenever I remember the vision, I laugh. I want to fight it now, but it is not its time. There is another matter.”

“What is it, my lord?”

“Where is the guardian of the cave? I do not sense his presence.”

“He left long ago, my lord.”

“Then he runs away? I do not like that.”

“Do you want me to bring him back, my lord?”

“No.” The king raised his finger and then struck his throne. At that moment a power came out of that cave and swept the world, then after that it disappeared.

“Org, the guards will come to me, but you, send one of the spirits to tell me about the world.”

“As you command.”

Returning to Andria and Charle:

“Then, Andria, I want to ask you, did I make a mistake in not telling Dave about being…?”

“No, you did not make a mistake in anything. But this world is strange, it has rules we do not know, so we must endure them. And also, if you want revenge, then take revenge.”

“How? That monster that destroyed, that killed my brother, is finished.”

“No, that monster is not the reason.”

“What are you saying now? I saw it, it is the reason.”

“I said it is not. It was the masked one who escaped after the death of grandfather Albert. I noticed him when he left.”

Charle grabbed Andria’s shirt:

“Do you know his shape then? Tell me, Andria!”

“No, I do not know his shape. But that person is certainly the one who released those monsters. I do not know the reason, but what I know is that we must take revenge.”

“Andria, leave the matter of revenge to me. You do not have power yet, so let me handle it. The entrance ceremony for the knights of the kingdoms will be held. I will join a team and search for that person, and I will make him regret deeply.”

“You are not alone, Charle, for I also will join one of the teams.”

“Andria, I told you.”

“Charle, I know that well. But there is no law that prevents entry, right?”

“Yes, but this is dangerous. A person without power—how will you face in the arena?”

“Tell me, is the young man right? How do you want to enter when you do not have power?”

“Andria… oh, you are the leopard in the Ravens team?”

“Yes. My name is Marian, member of the Black Raven team. Now tell me, how do you intend that?”

“I intend by my will. And I intend to rid the world of evil with a kitchen knife.”

“Boy, I know you are sad for your grandfather, but sometimes emotions cloud the mind. Do you understand me?”

“I understand you. But I speak with actions more than words. In the end, I am the one who defeated the third monster.”

“What!?”

“As you heard. I am the one who defeated the monster.”

“Do you have proof of what you say?”

“Yes. When I was hitting it, I stopped because of the crying of the children. But when you examine my hand, you will find one of its broken teeth inside my hand.”

“What!? Give me your hand.”

“Indeed, it is there.”

“You idiot, why did you not say so we remove it?”

“Because it was my proof. I could not remove it.”

Marian looked at him astonished, saying to herself:

“That bone, even while broken, stuck in the flesh… how the hell did he endure all this time?”

“Then, Lady Marian, will I participate?”

Marian sighed:

“Listen, boy. True, you have proof you defeated that monster, but those monsters were of the first level. So the grandfather did not die from those monsters, but from the person who was there.”

“Charle, are you saying a person was there?”

“Yes. Andria told me a masked person was there.”

“Was there any distinctive mark on him, Andria?”

“No, but he was holding something in his hand that looks like a book.”

“Ah, that may be useful information then.”

“Lady Marian, can I enter?”

“Unfortunately, Andria, no.”

“I understand that, Lady Maria.”

“Good. And you, Charle, be ready. After three days you will take the test.”

“I am ready for it.”

“Good, then I will see you later.”

Elsewhere, in the depths of darkness, a person was walking toward the house of a duke. He entered and sat in the library. Time did not pass quickly until the owner of the palace came.

“So, you really came.”

“What do you think of me? Of course I would come. How not, when you gave me the best news, the death of Albert, that cursed one.”

“Oh, it seems you hate him that much.”

“Yes. Because he was always an obstacle in my life. They always compared me to him, mentioned his name before me. Even my son admired him more than me.”

“Oh my God, you are full of anger. Calm yourself so we can talk.”

“Fine. Did you know the news of that paper?”

“No. That old man refused to speak and sacrificed himself. Unfortunately, as always, he insists to be a hero, and he is not.”

“What surprises me is that I did not give the king the secret for Albert only. Even after Albert retired, the king did not fear revealing the secret, because if you entrusted Albert with your soul, he would sacrifice all his body until it turned to ashes.”

“Ugh, that is disgusting. I agree. Now, this agreed amount, I do not want it.”

“What!?”

“As you heard. I got something much better.”

“What is it?”

“An interesting person.”

“What kind of children?”

“Let’s just say it is a treasure for me.”

“Then I will keep my gold. That is better.”

“You are right.”

Suddenly, while they were talking, came the king’s power that he released by moving only his finger. From its intensity, the owner of the palace died instantly. The second fell to the ground, unable to stand, feeling he would suffocate from the power.

“Impossible! How could this happen? He must not wake now. Or did he notice that boy too? That power… it means I will be judged at his hands. Oh my God, help me…”
