Where were you? #14
Catastrophe...
Bloodshed and those left grieving...
All to the ends of the invasion.
Screaming with all of their hearts, and the rest of their spirit;
"WHERE IS OUR KING????"
Echoed throughout the kingdom.
After another few hours of walking back to the kingdom, the King noticed smoke roaring high behind the walls.
"WHAT? NO!!!"
The King rushes towards the doors to the kingdom. Cries and yelling were heard.
"Why? No no no, why????"
"I'm... sorry."
There was a civilian morning over her lost husband.
They noticed the King return...
"THE KING!! THE KING IS HERE!!"
Some of the cries of agony stopped, and the attention was now shifted once more.
"WHERE WERE YOU?"
"WHERE???"
They all yelled in disbelief.
"ANSWER US!!!"
"..."
"I'm sorry"
"That's it..? You're sorry..?"
"So many of us have been killed. Soldiers lay on the holy grounds, covered in blood! Saying you're sorry won't bring them back! We needed you my King!
WE NEEDED YOU!"
"I..."
The impatience and anger of the community wasn't going to listen to the Kings excuses.
"Guards!!!!"
"What? What's going on?"
"Arrest the King!"
"You can't be serious!?"
"King wonder... under the suspicion of you being involved with the kingdom's invasion, you're under arrest. You will be brought to DusGoria's Dungeon until you're proven innocent."
"I... I HAD MEANS TO BE SOMEWHERE ELSE! This eye... whispered to me. It brought me to a temple..."
"ENOUGH!"
"I'm sorry..."
And sorry was the last thing the King could say to his people. With heartache and sense of betrayal in their spirit; they didn't want to hear of the kings pitiful attempts to convince them of the cause he was given.
Cleo and Gruntar stood by and watched the King be taken away by his own people. The very same people who loved and adored him. The people that looked up to him and considered him to be their God. Were now the problem of his heart.
"Cleo?"
"Yes?"
"We've done a lot of bad to this kingdom. No one knows it was us... and now the King has been sent to DusGoria's Dungeon."
"Yes..?"
"I feel like we need to make things right... for his sake. He showed us mercy when he knew of our deeds. We have to do this Cleo!"
"Since when did you get so soft hearted? Hmm, but you are right. Yes! Let's try to help the King. Although... we cannot let the kingdom know we killed some of their people. Especially a FyLore."
"Yes!"
Gruntar says with excitement
"So... what did we do?"
"We reach the Royal Guards."
"Then what?"
"I... don't know."
With Cleo and Gruntar both stumped on how to help the King, they continue to think of ways for their success in a plan.
