An unconscious Darians head layed on the noble priests hands, his right hand situated atop Darians face, at that moment moisture seemed to be gradually stripping itself from Darians body, drops of small water particles became larger balls, and floated in mid air. Darian finally released a gasp,as floating water poured out of his mouth being directed towards the noble priests hand, then transforming 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 expression from his face, placeing 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,while Conrad watched on the sidelines, huffing and puffing, from the stress, both his hands on his knees with a bent posture. finally letting out a sigh of relief, after Darian regained conciousness, next to him was Doulos gently tapping Conrads back in order to give him some assurance.
"It's about time we head home", Doulos said with urgency,"we have alot to do,and the guest of honor can't afford to be late", Doulos gently helped the young Darian up the group being escorted back to the surface by the priest,leading them back near the end of the staircase, where he first recieved them, the two elders waited for Darian and cos return with a sense of duty, In order to escort them further safely. 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".
"But Remember true Immortality can only be grasped through the persute of truth ,justice ,love and law", simultaneously drawing a circle with a cross at the centre to bid them farewell,atop the Tower within the summoning circle Darian couldn't help but say,"well he was nice", only for Doulos to interject,"don't let that kindness fool you,to thinking his weak, his a monster in his own right, if an altercation occured, I fear I could only save one of you", Darian released a smirk looking at his father who was tearing up at his boy growing up so fast,"we all know who you would pick", a gentle smirk appearing on Douloses face a bright light inveloped them moments later causing them disappear.
In the cathedral Gilga looked on as if in another world,coming 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 color 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 having to participate in the festivities,as the host of the event."Sire are you certain his ready",Doulos asked," liedia and I believe in him, 100% without fail ",Conrad replied.
Sometime later Matilda walked down from the balcony.she came from putting Darian to bed,later Conrad asking how much progress had been done in completing the ground work for the event ,and when the guests would be arriving, Matilda answered," 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,the best jousters and archers have been selected from the police force to serve as the temporary entertainment for the day while advertising their skills".
The list of guests coming today ,included royal characters such as the Queen herself, and her attendants, the other guests makinv up the top of 1% of paldgias economy which was made up of, Dukes ,marques ,Earls ,viscounts,and Barons, adding on some exceptions examples being certain Businessmen who Conrad had fond relationships with, the leaders of his police force,and ofcourse last but not least the servants working under Conrad,"they should all be arriving in two hours time", Conrad persed his lips stareing in thought," okay everything's on track",he replied.
Claus had the responsibility of managing the games and events making sure the stage was set for jousting, and overseeing the creation of 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 noble houses invited in general were about a hundred si Conrad expected a bareminum of 500 or so guests.Claus made sure the stands were especially high with a entire Vip section placed above the stands on the right, today was very stressfull for him.While 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 soooh entertaining", "what do you want",Doulos asked calmly." simple",Roselle replied," to add a little spice in todays event,and to gamble a little bit"," haven't you learnt anything,from your mother" doulos replied dumbfounded,Roselle 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 these 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 a pitch black darkness,feeling 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 his censory perception had been awakened after years of dormancy, weird veins that seemed parasitic, moved on there own and he began to spasm,suddenly all those memories began to glitch, rearranging themselves until he saw someone dieing,before his own eyes while holding a lifeless bloody corpse,when he saw that image both his body and his current mental body began to release a tear, remotely controlling the body of the figure he was in the vision he controled his trembling hands direction them into touching, the faces of the dead, 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 the vision still in the solide dark space, the veins slowed down only for blood as thick as red paint to pour down on him,onto the crown of his head, and trickle down from the top of his head,to his face then to his hands,both hands were opened side by side in a open downward prayer motion,his green eyes looking towards his hands as he released a scream of agony from his mouth, his head and eyes distorting as they growing wider, his eyes clearly in shock, his mouth quivering and babbling.
A second later he was woken up,on Matildas lap,once again he did not want to look around,he was scared. Matilda felt she could somehow relate to this feeling placing 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,soon he gradually regained some sense of life.
The dreams and memories began to blurr, when Matilda asked him about what had just happened," 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 him, 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
