Chapter 24

"Do not die, Cassius!"

"Take my body, to Silverbell," Cassius wished in his last breath.

The black robed man collapsed to ground in agony. As Gamon slammed his foot down on the man's knee, snapping it.

"Speak!"

The man in white lowers his hood, revealing that it is Atticus, the wizard! The same person who provided the Prince with the tonic, centuries later. He looked Gamon in the eyes.

"A new leader has taken hold. He says he is stronger than you, and wants the rune for himself. To end the peace and grow an empire," replied Atticus nervously.

Gamon lowered his head, and slowly walked over. He slung Cassius' dead body on his back, and picked up the sealed case with the rune inside.

"Follow me, and I swear I will rip every piece of your soul apart. Tell them, it is WAR, and I will be off the grid forever," murmured Gamon. The future King of Avalon.
