Drones

Everyone was exhausted from the recent happenings and they returned to their various rooms. Suddenly a noise was heard from out and everyone rushed out to find out what was happening.

The scene was really terrifying. Queen Alicia was holding a sword full of blood stain and on the floor was a guard.

"What the hell?" Peres cursed "Alicia" Adam thundered and that Alicia to look shocked "even you too, you have joined you brother but I promise you princes that I'm not done with you" she yelled

"Why did you kill one of my men" Lyle asked calmly which was surprising to everyone, most especially Alicia who was more interested in making her son; Lyle loose control,

he was perfect and that was what made her angry to the core. He never seemed like he looses his anger and that was the more reason she killed a guard and here he was treating her calmly like as she was not a problem to him.

"Why are you with my daughter?" Alicia fired back a question instead of answering "oh! Sarah, she is fine and believe me she is better off without you" Adam said mimicking Alicia's voice

"I need my daughter, I give you twenty four hours to return her if not consider the demons' empire no lord" hearing this Lyle sprang up to his feet but his face remained calm void of emotions, he walked up to her and said

"If anything happens to lord Philip, my father and the demons' emperor, consider you own two children; Sarah and Samuel gone" Lyle said with a smirk on his face

"and don't forget to add David; her lover and fiancée" Adam shouted as he smirked. Alicia hadn't seen this coming, she cursed inwardly as she looked at her son's hardened face, oh God she hated the fact that Lyle had to be a royal, he was nothing but a huge problem.

"I will kill you if you try to murder my children" Alicia fired "oh! If you kill him I wouldn't resist to snap your head out of your body" Peres chipped in "and remember that I am an immortal" Peres smirked.

Alicia knew that they had won the battle so she rounded off saying "I mean every single word that left my mouth" she leapt away before Lyle could say anything. Breathing in and out everyone resumed their various duty they had been doing before she interrupted.

Dinner was potato chips and sauce, it was a delicious delicacy and everyone ate in silence. "Pearl I hope you weren't hurt" Adam broke the silence

"no I wasn't really hurt but I was irritating" Pearl answered - note the sarcasm "I'm sorry for my mom's misbehavior" Adam continued "I have already apologized on mom's behalf, not to worry she is my pal" Lyle said as he smirked at her and she blushed

Lina was trying her best to compose and comport herself but Lyle smirking at Pearl was something else, she breathed heavily as she tried to steady her breathing "thanks a lot for the meal, really superb" Lina said as she stood trying to device a means to escape

"Where are you going to?" Asked Lyle when he saw her trying to leave, 'what is up with this demon? A minute he was smirking at Pearl and now he wants her to stay to watch him flirt with Pearl' Lina said inwardly "to my room" she replied "no one leaves tonight we are going for a stroll" Lyle announced causing Lina to blink twice.

It was dark and they strolled along the road of the market, all were dressed in black coats so as not to attract people's attention. Suddenly there was screaming of people from a distance which caused all of them to run towards the direction where the noise was coming from

There were creatures which Lina couldn't explain how they looked like. First they were animals because they walked on two feet and body structure like that of people. It wasn't humans because no human looked like this. It wasn't demons because they didn't look like demons. It wasn't witches because they had no resemblance with them. It wasn't fairies, it was far from them. Then what were this creatures?

Pale looking face, red bloody eyes, scars all over their faces and greenish bodies. Lina knew that a fight would definitely break out. The pale looking creatures then attacked them and that was the beginning of the main fight.

The more they killed the more it seemed like they would multiply by two, the fight lasted long each of them occupied with more than five of those pale looking creatures but something happened. One of the pale looking creatures slashed his sword at Gina causing blood to gush out.

The next moment all the pale looking creatures were lying dead on the floor and Peres was in the middle of them. He seemed very furious. His eyes were dark red which was quite unusual.

"Lyle what are these?" Peres fired a question "let's go home first and I would explain" Lyle said nonchalantly and leapt away before anyone could say a damn word.

When they arrived home, everyone sat on a chair in the sitting room "explanation!" Peres demanded while Lyle breathed in and out and sat comfortably on his chair, he looked like someone waiting for a boring interview.

"Questions" Lyle said as he twirled a glass of smoothie "who are those?" Gina asked "drones" he replied softly "drones?" Adam said probably because he hadn't heard the word like that. "They are the forces from the upcoming battle" Lyle added "the battle is here" Lina chipped in sadly "yes" Lyle replied shortly "what now?" Pearl asked looking at Lyle for answer

"We have to be prepared, they can attack any moment, we should always be on alert" Lyle said "we…" Lyle wanted to continue when a guard barged in "my prince some sort of creatures are here, they are fighting their way in" the guard said scarily "go! Make sure everyone is safe and send for the general with my five exceptional guards. Levi, Raven, Louis, Daniel and Solomon now" Lyle said glancing at everyone

"Let's go! We can't keep running away from our problems! Let's go show them who is boss" Adam said and went out everyone followed suite hoping the very best for each other
