under house arrest and put the
town under martial law. This would make it easier to keep an eye on
everyone. Everything was going perfectly. Lakin was sending out his
most powerful Magima, with General Traug in tow. The twins were
going to find each other soon, seeing as how her bolamer slowed
down the goblin troupe quite a bit. Things should work out perfect
for her.
“Well, Moray,
things are going quite smoothly, “stated Malena into her
mirror.
Moray, in his
new form, smiled. “Yes, my queen, they appear to be going quite
well. When shall I join the princess?”
Malena turned
towards him. He did look so convincing in that form. “She has left
the palace and will be in the elven lands soon. You must join her
before Elizanne does. I am positive she will try to join up with
her children and we cannot let that happen.”
Moray
nodded.
“Do not fail
me,” she hissed.
“Everything
will be done as you wish.”
Satisfied,
Malena waved her hand over the mirror and it returned to normal.
Everything needed to be accomplished her way. The prophecy must be
fulfilled, but not with the twins. If Gillock succeeds, then her
magic will most likely weaken. “So many things you did not tell
them about the prophecy, Gillock,” she thought. “You should have
made certain they would not fail, for if they do, it will be easier
for me to take over Melarandra.” Laughing to herself, she decided
to finish one of the spells she was developing. It was going to be
quite useful for what she had in store for the goblin she had
captured.
Hours of
scouring the castle had passed. There was no sign of the queen or
Gillock. This did not surprise the general. He recognised the
stalling, but could not prove it so he had let it go. Now, finally
at the entrance of the throne room, it was clear what needed to be
done. Olrond approached King Jeremy, and could not believe what he
was about to do, what he had to do.
He stopped in
front of the king and bowed. “Your highness, it’s with great regret
I must place you under house arrest for knowingly harbouring a
person who possesses magic. I will also be placing the town of
Klayhern under martial law. More Maget troops will be arriving
within the next few days.”
The king
stepped down from his throne and faced Traug. “I know the law, but
please let me know when the town is to go under martial law so that
I may tell them myself.”
The general
nodded. “I'll do this one last thing for you, Jeremy. But I should
warn you, if the Order finds you guilty of more heinous crimes, you
will lose everything.”
The king,
saying nothing, left the throne room and headed to his quarters.
Now, he just had to deal with Brin.
CHAPTER EIGHT
Koral had never
ridden so hard in her life. She had seen the elven king give
something to Swift to eat, but had no idea it would have this
effect on him. They were moving so quickly she had felt like she
was flying. Within a matter of hours, they were in the Cyprian
Forest, a trip which normally would take at least two days.
Koral knew when
they were getting closer. The trees began to take on more vivid
colours. It was as if nature itself was coming alive in the
presence of the elves. It was not long before Koral felt eyes
watching her. Having read all about elves, and how easily they can
blend in with their surroundings, she knew it must be them. She was
about to ask Glavlin, just to be sure, when they came to an abrupt
stop. Looking around, she could see nothing, but Glavlin did not
move. For minutes, he did not move or talk. Suddenly a figure moved
from the brush, and stood facing the two. It was an elf. From his
stance and build, it was clear he was a soldier. It was odd to
Koral to see him. He wore a tunic, which did not have sleeves and
pants which were form fitting, showing his muscular tone. His hair
was white and tied back. He turned his deep brown eyes to the
princess, causing her to blush.
“How do you
expect me to do my job with you gallivanting about
town under martial law. This would make it easier to keep an eye on
