Chapter 11 - chapter 11: aftermath and arrival

A unconscious Darians head layed on the noble priests hand as his right hand was situated atop Darians face in that moment moisture seemed to be gradually stripped from Darians body drops of small water particles became larger balls and floated in mid air as Darian finally released a gasp as floating water poured out of his mouth as they were directed to the noble priests hand then transformed into one condensed sphere of water about 50 centimeters wide

Darian awoke from his unconscious state with his green eyes meeting the priests brown eyes the priest revealed an awkward look from his face as he placed his right hand on the back of his head this is expected the mana always gets to the head but it does relieve stress and digs deep in the deepest corners of your mind oh Darian replied my head feels so light like a weights been lifted off my shoulders as expected the priest replied on the side was Conrad who was huffing and puffing from the stress as both his hands were on his knees as he bent his posture he finally let out a sigh of relief after Darian regained conciousness next to him was Doulos gently tapping conrads back to give him courage

It's about time we head home Doulos said with urgency we have alot to do and the main event can't afford to be late can Doulos gently helped the young Darian up as the group was escorted back to the surface by the priest as he led them back near the end of the staircase where he had first recieved at that very same place the two elders waited with a sense of duty Darian asked in Curiosity what's your name sir the priest looked and smiled Gilgamesh or Gilga for short the stars tell me you have a bright future infront of you

And Remember true Immortality can only be grasped through the persute of truth ,justice ,love and law as he said that he drew a circle with a cross at the centre to bid them farewell atop the Tower as they went on the summoning circle Darian couldn't help but say he was nice only for Doulos to interject don't let that kindness full you for weakness his a monster in his own right if a altercation accured I fear I could only save one of you Darian released a smirk as he looked at his father who was tearing up at his boy growing up so fast we all know who you would pick a gentle smirk appeared on Doulos face as a bright light inveloped them as they disappeared

In the cathedral Gilga looked on as if in another world as he came back to his senses he slowly walked back to the pool near it was a floating mass of water by moving his hand and just pointing the water moved and placed itself back inside the pool when that happened the water in the pool suddenly began to change colour as if an impurity attempted to mix in with the pools water but it Quickly dissipated minutes later oh I see Gilga thought to himself but why would a child of such young age have so much trauma this is an interesting development if I do say so myself

Back in the castle Darian felt as if all his energy had been drained leading him to being helped to his room by Matilda he had the opportunity to get a few hours of sleep before he had to do his duties as the host of the event do you think his ready sire Doulos asked liedia and I believe in him 100% without fail Conrad replied

Sometime later Matilda walked down from the balcony she had come from putting Darian to rest as Conrad asked for the progress of the event and when his guests would be arriving Matilda responded with my lord the food is being prepared to perfection the forest is being split into hunting sectors the games are in place musicians have already begun practiceing so have the dancers and the best jousters and archers have been selected from the police force to serve as the temporary entertainment for the day and help show there skills

The lists of guests coming today were the Queen herself and her attendants the other guests who were invited made up the top of 1% of paldgias economy Dukes ,marques ,Earls ,viscounts and Barons and some exceptions specifically Businessmen who Conrad had fond relationships with and the leaders of his police force and ofcourse the servants in attendance and they should all be arriving in two hours time Conrad persed his lips as stared in thought okay everything's on track he replied

Clous was Outside responsible for the games and events he made sure the stage was set for jousting and that there was two stands one for the nobles and the other for those less than Nobles the tiltyard was made 220 feet in length the amount of nobles and people invited in general was about a hundred but Conrad expected 500 so Claus made sure the stands were especially high with a entire Vip section on top of one of the stands on the right today was very stressfull for him Doulos was much more intrigued at what would happen just then Roselle appeared behind him tapping his back then spinning to his face

Doulos eyes could not help but squint your always trying to surprise me but you should give up such things dont work on me well who said I was trying to surprise you Roselle replied to me your reactions are just so entertaining what do you want Doulos asked simple Roselle replied to add a little spice in in todays event and to gamble a little bit haven't you learnt anything from your mother doulos frowned yes dont gamble if you cant play this left Doulos stumpt as he let out a smirk you see Roselle smirked I keep getting reactions from you so let's begin

Simultaneously in Darians Room the child could be seen curling up in a fetal position under the bed sheets tears streaming down his eyes as his body felt stiff and cold in his mind all he could see was darkness pitch as if he was endlessly falling only for him to kneel down in solid Darkness for some reason even though no light could be seen he could still see his own body at the same time after he made this realization his memories from the past 4 years began stampedeing into his head all at Once even information he had never noticed before it was as if senses he had never known had been awakened as weird veins that seemed parasitic moved on there own and he began to spasm suddenly all those memories began to glitch as if rearranging themselves he saw someone dieing holding someone else when he saw that image both his body and his current mental body began to release a tear as if a remote he directed the hands into touching the face who's eyes seemed blurry just then the figure he was vomited and on his trembling hands was nothing but blood he snapped out of it as the veins slowed down only for blood to pour down on him onto his head and trickle down to his hands as he lifted his hand he released a scream of agony from his mouth as his head and eyes distorted as they grew wide his eyes clearly in shock his mouth quivering and babbling

A second later he was woken up he was on Matildas lap once again he didn't want to look around he was scared Matilda felt she could somehow relate to this feeling as she placed her hand infront of his face releasing a calming glow to pacify him as she gave him a kiss on the forehead you have to get ready young lord I cant he cried be strong I'll buy you some time by doing the rest she proceeded to take off his clothes and put new ones on him as his appearance felt as stiff as a statue he gradually regained some sense of life as the dreams memories seemed to blurr when Matilda asked him about it wait it was no I think he stumbled on his words Matilda smiled as she touched his forehead it must of been nothing just a fever and a bad dream she had to say this to comfort her but to her it was clear his mind was suppressing something

An hour later trumpets rang as nobles from all over began to show up Darian and Doulos were infront of the entrance as one by one he had to shake there hands or say hello and thank you for coming Quite an exhausting task the nobles were very extravagant upon arrival and there method of travel some Traveling atop a huge bird who wore a carriage as if a backpack another a carriage flying with multiple grifins others a carriage flying with a single Pegasus and most common was bringing two entire carriages moved by sun howlers the creatures were given unique wears to distinguish them from others sometimes a type of Gold helmet and what was more extravagant some of the arrivals the valet stepped out with a bow on fire launched it infront of doors carpeted stairs causing fear on Darians face as he hugged Doulos titely only to then let go out of embarrassment the arrow would burn up and become a Tornado of fire and within it the noble and there Butler would slowly walk out of the fire would burn nothing fortunately having Darian think that they were illusions only for Doulos to call it precise fire control the explanations did maje more sense as Darian could feel the heat coming from the fire unless his senses were manipulated aswell it had to be real

At that moment a huge flying ship painted in white and gold could be seen it had fins and thrusters wooden hulls and rigging with 3 masts on the white sails the royal family's emblem could be seen it resembled a triangular shield ontop of it was a floating crown next to the shield on the right and left were two lions coloured in pure yellow standing on there hind legs across each other beneath the shield of the crest was a sash indicating the year of the kingdoms creation in the shield it was spilt into four main sectiond on the right was a sword stapped through the middle of a stone on the left a picture of a document next to it a inked feathered pen on the right down was a picture of a cross and on the left down were four twinkling stars and surrounding the crest were flour patterns

The crown represented royalty the lions on both sides standing on there hind legs meant the power and furiosity of the crown the sword in the stone meant the king was chosen by a force of destiny the open paper with a inked feathered pen represented the kingdoms laws that were a replica of heavens decrees the cross represented the kingdoms largest religion and the religious powers of the kingdom as a whole the four twinkling stars represented magic and the wishes of the people the flour plant decorations represented the kingdoms fertility and how I would continue to grow and expand

On the ship a fair lady with chestnut coloured hair with a braided chignon with parted curled hair on the forehead could be seen on the forecastle of the bow as the flying ship appeared I stopped mid air after getting close enough to castle a light appeared infront of the door where Darian and Doulos stood out of the light 9 people appeared some who were off the royal family after their appearance Darian and Doulos fell down to their knees as trumpets blew and an announcement rang in the air her royal highness Queen of paldgia has arrived
