CORONATION CEREMONY

CHAPTER 13

CORONATION CEREMONY

Who are you ? Wan asked the old man standing in between. Adric Walter , Mr Adric Walter , you know ! Mr Walter ?

You didn't look like that before , Autumn said in amazement.

No , I wasn't even like that , I just made myself like that , he replied politely.

They were all surprised , how did he become so kind ? You mean , you just acted like that , but you were not like that in reality , Leo asked confusedly.

Yes , you got it right , Walter replied.

But why ? said Clara. Because it was my compulsion , I had to do it , said Walter. Compulsion ?? Violet wondered. Yes , because on 4th of April 1044 , I attacked the ruler of the black magicians , and his daughter intervened , she asked why you both are fighting , can't we live together happily ? Answering her questions , I started to explain to her that what your father is doing is a bad thing , leave all that and follow the right path , she became slightly interested , and started questioning more. Seeing this , he became furious , and said; Historian !! How dare you call us bad. He said to his daughter , ``Will you go against your father ? Her daughter still took interest in me , then he became enraged , and he enchanted his daughter. And her daughter , who was very young , had two broken front teeth. He took control of his daughter's mind , and made her bad , put black magic in his mind and sat in his mind that the white wizards , witches and magic are not good , they are our enemies. Because now his daughter was only under his control and was actually like a living corpse this made him even angrier , his anger overcame , and he cursed us. He said, "I curse you that your world will end , your everything will end , everything will perish , your people , magic , kingdom and everything and only you will be left alone." Because his anger made him stronger , what he said was easily done. My people disappeared , they were in pain , they were screaming for help , I was failing in doing everything. I was thirty at the time , and I was newly made king at that time.

I didn't understand anything , I started begging him , don't do that , I will not do this now , now I know my kingdom and you know your kingdom. Consider that it was just a nightmare , that didn't even happen. He laughed at my condition , and said, "I feel sorry for you , I will give you another chance."

He said to me;

"I will make a game and hide it , which is only for those who rebel against you. You will bring children whom you will raise , and yet they will turn against

you , hate you , and will try to flee from you."

He did it because I tried to make her daughter rebel , then he went to his world , years were passing by and

there was nothing I did. He added that the game had to be played before five hundred years and the game would find its own players. He made the dares and connected with freedom of individuals. Just as you liberated the forest , so the animals were liberated.

He said that if you finish this game I will lose my daughter. He did this because his daughter was out of him then and he would never ever be able to get his daughter back to the things that he does.

You guys went in October but you're back in December , one day here is equal to at least one month there.

So think for yourself how fast time was running out. Each game number was telling the history or dates , and the amount of time you were using to complete each dare. 3110 was 31st of October when the game started.

4444 , you already know 4th of April 1044 , because of which the game was made.

1543 , the current year.

1011 , the first dare you did , was on 10th of November , this means you took at least ten days just reading and understanding the rules of the game.

811 , 8th of November ! Do not focus on the months , how can we move backwards , just focus on dates , this just means that you were running straight for two days , just thinking how to escape and move to the next dare.

111 , first of November , It took her eight days to amputate her foot.

Then you jumped on the next dare.

4444 , as I already said , just focus on dates , 4th , three days to escape from the jungle.

1911 , yes that wasn't a narrow escape Leo , 15 days. He wasted your half month.

2311 , four days had passed and you were all still in the dark room.

2911 , 6 days , almost a week , on what ? Just to avoid the light.

1611 , 13 days , you all took thirteen days finding the way out of the jail.

1011 , 6 days to eliminate the bones.

3011 , twenty days ! Can you imagine ? Twenty days ? For twenty days you people were running away from the zombies.

2112 , 912 , twenty first November to 9th of December , finding pegasus.

212 , Finding the crown.

From 2 to 6.

612 , four days to solve the maze.

1312 , a whole week just in finding two crowns.

1512 , two days , convincing Autumn to

cut her hands.

Black wizards always use human's blood to heal them. When he imprisoned our animals , he always used animal bone and blood in doing this. He was not a pacifist , he loves bad things and hates good people.

1612 , one day only in reaching upside

down world.

1912 , just because the game was placed in between of hexagram , and they were not letting you throw the

dice , three days easily wasted in only throwing dice.

2512 , six days in the castle , researching information to break the curse.

2312 , two days , you were stuck in Musical Chairs.

And finally you finish the game , starting from Halloween but end this in Christmas.

The number on which you started your dare and the number , you got your next dare , are the dates and the dates gap.The period from that date to the next date , is the duration you took to complete each dare as I already explained to you whole.

He made this game and said to me

that , go raise seven children , give them food , shelter , clothes and when they will go against you , then you will feel me. And this game will only be played by those who will try to go against you. And if those children finish the game , then your kingdom will be given to them , meaning they will be king and queen of your world.

You have not only ended our captivity but also your slavery. Finishing the game , you were also finding the crown of your kingdom. You were the key to unlock HILANTINY. To free Hilantiny.

Hilantiny ? Brooklyn asked in surprise.

This world of white wizards and

witches , where you're standing , is called Hilantiny , Walter replied.

So , how did you find us ? Parker wondered.

I just kept wandering around

anxiously , in these silent mountains the years were passing by but I was out of ideas. As the years went by I couldn't do anything , I cried which kind of king I am , what I did to my people.

I lived alone in these deserted mountains , I didn't have even a single human being around me. One day my loneliness began to choke me.

So I thought , why don't I go to Earth?

Maybe my heart will be healed and feel light.

On Earth ? asked Brooklyn.

Yes on earth , because the mountains on which you stand are not earth , this is sky , the second sky. Nature has made the seven skies , out of which our world is the second sky.

Ohh ! They were surprised.

So where was I ? Yes I was telling you how I cope up with my loneliness. One night in 1530 , I went to Earth. It was a cold winter night , people were at home and all was deserted , I was sitting in a garden wondering what to do next.

Then I hear the weep of a small child ,

I started moving around to see where these screams were coming from.

I was walking around when I saw a baby girl on a bench crying who was about two days old. I looked around and no one was around. I wondered how someone left such a beautiful girl. It's nothing to forget. How can one forget to pick his child? I couldn't stand her crying and when I picked her up she started smiling. I loved her so much that I took her with me to the

sky , her gazing colorful eyes stared at me the way that I named her Violet.

I got such a good bond with her , I started to feel less lonely. When she turned one year old , I celebrated her birthday. I was so lost in her love , then I suddenly realized that this year is 1531 now , and if I don't get the game before 1544 , my people will die and I'll be called the worst king in the world. Then suddenly an idea struck my mind , that I have been raising Violet since her childhood and I will raise her.

Maybe she will be the one who will set us free. And perhaps the people of the earth throw the children away to parks and gardens or dustbins. I went and I really found Clara at 4:00 AM in the morning , crying lonely on the ground. She was hardly two months old then. Then I was sure this happens on the Earth and I slowly brought seven children. After much thought , I realized that if I will have a bad attitude

with them , they would be rebellious.

I changed my disguise and began to oppress you , which I didn't like at all but I had to do.

I built some houses to show you , in which the people lived were just like robots , made from white magic. They did not have a heart or brain , they just walked and did useless things. Therefore , they did not say anything about the oppression done to you because they were not able to sense it. I used to make a way for you to go down from the mountains to celebrate Halloween or whenever you tried to go down.

So that you people do not doubt , otherwise you would have asked questions of which I did not have time at all. I went on for a long time so that you people feel free and try to run

away , thinking of the value of freedom.

I became more and more cruel , so that you people started hating me. And one night you started thinking of running away , which I knew. And I deliberately prepared to leave , so you guys think it's easier to run away now. My hatred had grown so much in your hearts that the intention you made was strong. You were about to revolt , when Autumn had a dream of a game. Autumn cried out , and she got up in fear. You guys started making fun of it , I was listening to everything. I realized that the time has come. I went into your room and what I saw , you were all lying on top of each other's backs and disappeared suddenly. In October 1543 , when only seven months left , to be April 4 1544 , the game finally chose you.

As you were completing the dares , you were freeing the creatures. When you got out of the jungle all the birds and animals were freed. When you did find the crown and solved the maze under the water , the aquatic creatures were freed. And here the sea and the river began to flow, in which the dancing fishes were giving peace to my heart. When you escape the zombies and free the Pegasus , the waterfall begins here and after almost five hundred years I see the rainbow in the sky.

How old are you ? Leo asked strangely.

Five hundred twenty nine years old , Walter replied.

FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY NINE YEARS OLD ! Everyone's eyes remained wide open.

Walter laughed lovingly and said ,

The lives of white wizards and witches happen about one thousand years.

One thousand years !! Autumn yikes.

Not surprisingly ! This is normal , Walter grinned and replied politely.

Were you aware of our every move ? Asked Wan. I was with you , every step of the game , but I was not allowed to come before you , so I sent these animals to help you when you need them , I sent the snake to help Clara under the water , sent dinosaur to take you when you were wondering who was the owner of the horn , although those animals were aware of what were they doing because they wanted to be free too. But I felt you with my magic , which they can't do , but they kept asking me if you needed us. And every animal helped you a lot , they gave you all the single power , which I gifted them years ago , to you. Their tooth power , maple , claws power and everything , they sacrificed on you all. As you were finishing the game the palace was becoming.

When you were all reaching the end of the game , according to the promise of the ruler of black wizards and witches , hidden crowns began to emerge. Those crowns were not disappearing from your side , rather , they were coming to the right place. The place where their owner will be , the place where they should have to be. The place where soon , the kings and queens of Hilantiny will reach. The place where their possessor will live forever.

Where the possessor of Crowns ,

QUEEN VIOLET

QUEEN CLARA

QUEEN AUTUMN

KING PARKER

QUEEN BROOKLYN

KING LEO

QUEEN WAN

Will live , and immediately people started shouting joyously , people started swaying with joy , and started applauding. The dinosaur was raining flowers from the sky. Trumpets were ringing in the air , itself , drums were ringing , the composite material bars of the xylophone was moving by itself , and playing joyful sounds , a person who was wearing a red velvet costume , with lock neck on which golden buttons were stitched , the dress was more like a short gown , and wearing a consort crown , was helding a very big tray which was covered with a beautifully worked sheet , came forward. Walter removed the sheet , under were seven golden shining crowns , on which rosaline pearls were fixed , the crowns shining like a star in the dark sky.

Very beautiful scepter were placed next to the crown on which diamonds were reflecting. Another man ( dressed exactly like the man holding crowns and scepters) brought the seven royal mantles , which were made of gold , diamonds , and jewels. And then the coronation of all of them began.

We beseech Thee of thy abundant Goodness , pour out the Spirit of thy Grace and Blessing upon this thy Servant , witnessing these thousands of people me , Walter , Crowned

QUEEN VIOLET , QUEEN CLARA , QUEEN AUTUMN , KING PARKER , QUEEN BROOKLYN , KING LEO , QUEEN WAN , by the Imposition of our Hands , they on 25th of December

1543 , Tuesday , has crowned new QUEENS and KINGS , of Hilantiny.

Then he crowned them all , gave scepters in their hands , and clothed them with royal mantels. People were applauding , cheering , whistling , jumping with joy.

Then , the seven elephants came , the elephants were wearing flower necklaces , bracelets , and other decorations. There was a small tent-like carriage on the back of the elephants , decorated with neon lights for queens and a special saddle. They climb a stepladder to that special saddle and tent with metal bars on three sides and a safety chain on the fourth. The elephants leads them to the palace , thousands people around were

dancing , fire crackers were burning.

Firecrackers were burning in the sky too. They reached the palace , got down and headed towards the palace and entered a very big gate. The appearance of the gate was like that of the seven children holding a crown in the guise of a mermaid , which was beautifully painted with colors and was plated with gold. Inside the palace was a red carpet laying all over from the ground to the stairs. The handrail was made of gold , and there was a very big gold fanus on the ceiling. Wide stairs about hundred in numbers were moving upward , and from the middle the stairs were divided into three , which moved upward , leftward and rightward. Stairs were covered with red carpet .There were seven thrones on the front.

A long table was placed in the middle , which was full of delicious food.

The ministers were standing beside the table , serving food. The ministers were wearing a hat and royal attire white in color. The Christmas feast began. During the feast , soothing music was being played. After the feast , they sat on the throne. The people were gladly accepting their king and queen.

And now , the mountains , Hilantiny , have once again become free and happy.

At night when it was time to go to bed , the seven moved to their rooms. The queen's rooms were purple , in which royal furniture was placed , a king size bed , chairs like thrones , curtains were drawn on the bed and on the windows.

The rooms were very big , four windows were on each wall , the purple curtains were drawn , and there was a very big fanus made of gold. An oval shaped mirror was fixed on the wall. Wine glass with a very beautiful glass jug was kept beside the bed on the side table.

The room was so big and not congested at all. There was a beautiful carpet on the ground and there was a round table in between. The king's room was the same but emerald green in color.

They entered the room , took off their crown and royal mantle. They put their crowns and scepter on the table and hung their mantel in the three piece wardrobe , which was full of royal dresses , everyone had a separate room. To relax themselves they took a warm shower , the bathroom was exactly the size of the room , so big with a gold bathtub , gold shower , toilet and besan. Then they go to bed and sleep.

*

Violet was sleeping peacefully in her bedroom , when someone , who was completely covered with a black cloak , comes to her and says. Why didn't you throw the dice again ? You got double four.

What ? Violet replied , making a weird face. How can I ? There was only one box left on the last slot. And if I threw the dice , so was I supposed to start the game again ? Yes , probably , the game would start , but the rule is the rule , there is an extra turn on double four ,

you should have thrown the dice ,

replied the person wearing black cloak.

She woke up suddenly , sweating profusely , breathing deeply , in the palace of Hilantiny.
