Chapter 2: The horsemen.

Zerr Andor was the only known prodigy and a powerful member of the chosen who was powerful enough to trap the dragon in the prison world for over thousands of years. The horsemen, the highest calibre in the obsidian palace, served the purpose of finding the last blood of zerr andor, who would obviously possess the spark as a prodigy. Unlike other members of the chosen who wore black coated warrior robes, the horsemen wore the same black ⚫️ colour, but to distinguish them from the rest, they also wore dark cloaks and a black head band. The horsemen were seven in number. Karan excalor, head of the horsemen, Philip ankor Lieutenant of karan, lior greenberg, cairbre el' thor, abban sleyman, morissa geranderr, and radah mondragael. The horsemen ruled the obsidian palace and had their member meetings in a restricted hall only meant for them and them alone. It was a tradition for a member of the horsemen to lead a group of chosen to conduct a test to people who are also members of the chosen but are unaware. This activity was carried out in order to discover more members of the chosen across the villages and small towns who were hidden. Karan, the head of the horsemen, was going to lead this time. He was going to travel with a handful of chosen to small towns and villages in order for them to conduct their test for finding/discovering more people who have been chosen, but before they could travel to the small towns and villages, they needed permission from the emperor, emperor eoghan, the overseer of the affairs of the small towns and villages within the southern region. In order to seek permission from the emperor, they travelled to the white castle 🏰 where the emperor, emperor eoghan, dwelled as his abode. As soon as karan and his people arrived at the white castle, they were immediately stopped at the entrance by the guards as they crossed their royal stakes to prevent them from entering/intruding. One of the guards rushed into the throne room to inform Emperor eoghan about the arrival of the members of the chosen, so he ordered that they should be let in. Karan and his people entered the throne room to meet with the emperor, emperor eoghan.

Karan - ' we're pleased to be in your presence, emperor eoghan'.

Emperor Eoghan - ' Your Highness should be more preferable, so what brings the members of the chosen to the white castle 🏰'?

Karan - ' Well, we need your permission to conduct our test on the villages and small towns in this region'.

Emperor Eoghan - ' And why should I agree to you? You know, I do not fancy witches.

Karan - ' We are not doing anything unorthodox, and again, we are not witches.

Emperor Eoghan - ' But that's what people address your kind as'.

Karan - ' That's what we are addressed as, but that's not what we are.Don't worry, Your Highness, we are not dominating your region , nor are we bewitching your people.

Emperor Eoghan - 'If you say so. but remember that I'll strike if your activities threaten my people.

Karan - ' Of course, your Highness'.

Then they rode away on their horses 🐎.
