Chapter 37

Kingdom

Japheth run to his mother unbelievably and forgot he was a man and cried ,how horribly his mother had died. The king came to where his two children were and held them, something he had never done. He held himself from crying from the death of his wife. The Dirak brothers stood and looked at it in disbelief. Mr Caleb was there as well but he said nothing.

"It all your fault ...." Georgina cried pointing at Mr Caleb " the Queen did this to her because of you!!!I hate you!!! Make her pay for this!!!!"she said as she cried.

"The queen? What Queen!!!" Mr Caleb asked authoritatively.

"The Queen! Hysponia she is coming for you with the heroes she sent me to tell you that. Can you bring her back father ?" Georgina said now to her father who was still in silence he was in shock.

"She must be found i want to kill her by my own hands!" King Gerald said in bitterness.

"Everyone to be summoned we assemble for the mourning and burial of the Queen of Hummingheart kingdom."

"She is not of this grounds, we can't bury her here" Mr Caleb disagreed with his son.

"And you can say that father, has she not been loyal to you and done her duties diligently, it's the least you can do for her and your grandchildren!" The king answered back at his father in anger and pain.

"Do as you wish then, boys let's get back to business we need to find a way to end her before she comes for us! All our resources and time on claiming Hunania can't be taken away from us by her as easily as she thinks!!!"Mr Caleb said as he walked away.

The Dirak's said their condolences to Georgina and they walked after their father leaving the three mourning the loss of a woman they loved and cherished.

They went to the heroes chambers to make some quick measures. It was evident she had now control over Hunania and they could not do a thing now to take it from her, but they had a chance of ruining it. Tear it by sending criminals from Hummingheart kingdom to cause havoc. Mr Caleb went on to order more recruitment of training students whether ready or not. Manak and his brothers did question, why should war students fight just a single person.

"You clearly did not hear Georgina. She is back with her heroes though incomplete they can take you all down in mere seconds. She clearly hypnotized the queen to killing herself she can do worse.... we need all help we can get.!"

Mr Caleb said spreading tension to the boys who looked at each other saying nothing. They then departed to help in Queen's Angelica burial arrangements. She was to be buried as soon as the arrangements were made and the people were not to be informed on her true cause of death. If the people of kingdom were to know the Queen had returned they would lose their faith from the Dirak's. This was to remain between the Dirak family as they made plans on capturing the queen.

Queendom

Lorna was now feeling herself in the ship that her brothers and Ashly had left behind. She went through the ship calling for them but could not see them anywhere. She slowly walked out of the ship calling out their names walking into the forest.

It did feel weird there was no voice she could hear but the echo of her calling voice, but she could feel the presence of the witches sorrounding her. This time they did not hesitate to make an appearance, before she could notice it she was already sorrounded both from her back and front and sideways. Laughing wickedly and loudly. she stood bravely and listened to them laugh before the lead witch came infront stopping the laughter.

" Greetings witches of Queendom. My name is Lorna Misdkoza I am here looking for my brother's and a witch with a human boy" she said bravely.

"Such brevity, so sad we haven't seen them"

The lead witch said as she laughed.

"I can feel their presence at this grounds, just tell me where they are and i will be out of your territory" Lorna said kindly to them.

"Only that no one who comes here leave's even the birds and insects that set their presence at this place never leave" the lead witch said to Lorna who realised it was so silent there, they were no any bird sounds. That did explain the deadening silence it's was a luck if anything survives here apart from the wicked laughing witches who were so irritating. This got her more certain they had her brothers and Ashly with Derrick.

"Listen here witches it's either we do this the easy way or the tough way!" She said letting a fire flame burn in her hand.

"Is that fire supposed to scare us!"

"You are bound to bow to your Queen witches. I would hate to be the one to end the powerful witch circle of Queendom for mere disobedience!" Lorna said now getting impatient.

"You are not my queen ,you can't suddenly arise and come here and expect us to do as you want!!! You are just like your mother Queen Hysponia. where was she when my race was being killed and banished from kingdom.?!!!"

"My mother had to do what was best for us all! Now tell me where have you kept my brothers and friends!" She said now her hair rising up In blue flames. Some of the witches seeing her blue hair started whispering around. "She was the blue storm" they kept on chattering.

"Shut up witches don't let her tricks get you scared!" The lead witch said.

"Yes you already know how dangerous I can be, now you can either listen to her and perish with her or tell me where they are!" Lorna said now getting in the air still fuming with anger one of the witches went on her knees bowing down followed by other witches. The lead witch stood her grounds and remained unmoved cursing the other witches for giving in easily to Lorna. The witches begun enchantments and from the centre of the grounds emerged the Misdkoza brothers along with Ashly and Derrick who regained their conscious as soon as they were above the ground they were sorrounded with roots. Derrick still remained unconscious, he hadn't gotten back from the ritual ceremony and the poor condition he had been kept in made it impossible for him to recover sooner. Lorna's heart was filled with joy upon seeing them again, she felt like it had been years and years without her brothers something which had never happened all their lifetime.

"That's all I wanted I will spare you today witch but let's not cross paths again!"she said to the stubborn witch who was now even more angrier. They were released from the roots by the circle witches of Queendom and they left after Lorna stopped them from fighting back the witches for what they had done to them. They could not travel back yet they had to get to the elders of Queendom and with directions to the palace they left.

"Hannah you are crazy, what were you thinking trying to get us all killed!!!" Sierpa a witch from the circle questioned the lead witch who had been sturbborn.

"Don't pretend as if you could not see the flame in her, it burns dragons and you know very well it wipes even your ancestors if unleashed on you!!!" Another witch from the circle said angrily.

"Listen witches I knew what I was doing. " She said before walking away from them leaving them to answer their own questions.

Lorna and her brothers carried Derrick and they all went back to the ship. They were still very weak as they had stayed locked for days with no food or water. The witches plan was to harness their power to their root ground to make them more powerful, they were also after vengance for the blood of their witches at Kingdom.

They stayed their for a day as they regained their strength and talked about most of what had happened. Lorna told them what he actually happened to her and everything about DragonDom but asked them to keep it a secret until the time was right. They were now on a mission and this time round nothing was going to put them behind because they knew not about it. It was time for justice that they were supposed to deliver.

"I hope he wakes up before we leave this place. We may have a hard time carrying him all around this Queendom, we know not much about it" Hunkins said as he looked at Derrick who was still in a deep sleep.

"What did I miss" Derrick said weakly opening up his eyes. Ashly enchantments had helped fasten his recovery.
