Chapter Eight "Justice and Valor"

Boco sat on his throne thinking and inhaling deeply while looking towards the ancient fire in middle of the great hall, thinking to himself what shall the reports from the expeditions he sent bring, will it be good news? is it all just him being over protective over his people? or is it the ancient war and horrors of it which Teared his people apart? Could it be happening all over again?

if it to be stopped, every pure blood knows the answer. Only a puren can stand a chance to unite the people to the common cause, which the ancient law was established for

" with power comes great responsibility" whispered Boco to himself while remembering his place in battle

when he was no older than his youngest daughter Koni

"Steady now Son, here it come" said his father's voice echoing in his ears from a long forgotten memory by his people.

"Father did you ask for me" said Kobi to her father while looking at him with sympathy, after all she never saw her father sinking so deeply in his thoughts

"hmmm, Ah My time shifter, where have you been all day?" said Boco while now moving his eyes back to Kobi

" I went to watch sister in her first training" said Kobi with a slight smile

"Why am I, not surprised" said The chief

Kobi walked towards one of the tables in the great hall and sat down.

"Who else you saw Today?" said Boco with a slight smile on his face while looking at his daughter

" Mother, she was with her beneath the mountain" said kobi while avoiding eye contact with her father

" Daughter, I don't need to travel through time to see who else you saw, what is his name again?" said the chief to his daughter

"It's Jabo, Father. One day he will be in your council, Fajeem said so himself last summer" said Kobi to her father Delicately

"He is an honorable man, if all this to be just a scare of mine. I might consider his request furthermore" said The chief while getting off his throne and walking towards Kobi

"Father, I am not worried about it now. The safety of our people is much more important at the moment" said kobi while looking at her father walking towards her

"True, but just because I am the chief and have duties towards my people, Doesn't make me forget my duties as a father. I know you love him and he already asked for my blessings to take your hand in marriage" said Boco while putting his right hand on his daughter left cheek.

" you have always put me, your sister and your mother before yourself, and I can't allow this to be the case forever" said Boco while looking towards the Great hall's door as if he is waiting for something

"I love you father, and I see how much you worry for all of us. I shall not see love or peace until I help carry some of this weight of your shoulders" said Kobi to her father

"you will make such a great queen for our people one day " said Boco while taking his eyes off the door and looking back at his daughter.

" You would be proud of Koni Today, she is starting her training strong" said Kobi

" I know, It worries me" said the chief while walking back to his throne

"It worries you? father what do you mean?" said Kobi quickly

" She is too powerful to control it, it takes more training and time and I am not sure if we have the time anymore" said the Chief to his daughter while sitting back on his throne.

Kobi nodded to her father sharing his same concern for her sister.

not far away right in the great arena Koni was continuing her training with her mother Nari, and after another successful day in the arena Koni asked her mother while gathering her things and walking towards the exit following her mother.

"come Koni, it's time we head back" said Nari

"Mother, How come my father never mentioned anything about his guardians" said Koni while following Nari

" Your father never cared for his safety as much as he cared for the safety of his people" said Nari looking back with a smile at koni

They were now exiting the mountain and looking at the great lizard on the right standing by the gates, the were passing by it's feet barely noticed.

" Yeah, that sounds like him. Good thing his guardians aids other pure bloods. I needed it greatly in there." said Koni with a relief

"No, Koni. Pure bloods guardians especially the royal guardians and the elder's guardians only respond to it's own pure blood. The only other way they would respond to someone else if he or she is a powerful puren, and we haven't seen any purens since a long time" said NAri

"you mean since the ancient war" responded Koni

Nari noded her head with a surprised look on her face how did her daughter come to find about this war

"Come mother I need to know more about this War" said Koni

"in a time before Time, we used to rule this earth. our power and rule was unquestioned across our entire dominion. we were fair and just to all creatures of earth, mankind honored us and followed our rules and our ancient law of justice and valor, until our king decided that no corner in this universe should be too far for us to conquer and for that he knew his power should grow and increase. for that he could no longer follow the ancient law. he needed to perform rituals which fed his power stronger and greater. but that is the very problem. when a puren's power grow..." said NAri

"Oh, he was a puren like me" said Koni eagerly

"yes, the first puren that ever been in our kind" said Nari

"When a puren' power grows. it grows with no limits but it reaches a point where it's no longer controlled not even by it's own puren. Our ancient king changed. he no longer cared for justice nor peace, he only cared for one thing Power and rule, your great grandfather saw the threat not only for our kingdom but for our own kind too. after all many have started following this king not caring for the laws any more. corruption filled earth. other kinds on other dimensions since that corruption evil beings fed of that evil. they all hailed from different corners of the realms, vowing to teach the king new rituals that will only increase his powers. but it shall also rid him of the last part of the ancient law. which stands for justice, valor and honor." said Nari

"so, what happened after that" said Koni so eager to know more

"War happened. Your great grandfather summoned the last of the armies of pure bloods who stood for the ancient law knowing their very existence depended on following the law or they shall be destroyed by their own power. They answered to the great General your great grandfather who loved his king and his people with all of his heart but couldn't stand and watch the king destroy himself and his people . He summoned them to seize the throne and exile Doro that was his name our ancient king." Said NAri

" Did he succeed ?" said Koni while following her mother moving further and further away from the mountain

"Yes he did, with a price" said Nari while slowing down and looking up at the sky.

"what is it mother?" said koni while hearing a rumbling of a dragon in the sky

" it's Fajeem's Guardian. The news are here, hurry now we must get to the great hall quickly" said NAri quickly
