The death of the king and queen

They got to a city named magior, on reaching the city, the horse stopped as Anna got down and then carried little Zander down too, who has been crying and now developed a high fever. Anna decided that they dwell in the place for the time being. Johnathan and Jane in the other hand were through fighting with those warriors, Johnathan sustained a cut in his stomach during the fight, Jane stitched his injuries after which she suggested they continue the search of son and Anna. In disguise they entered another city not knowing the exact city Zander and his grandma entered during that period of time.

They were now leaving in a related town of the command hoping that they will surely Cross each others path someday.

It has been a year since now since Zander and his grandmother,Anna left for Magior as their dwelling place they neither saw nor spoke with Zander's parents ever since that day.

One night, Zander was sitting beside a log of fire, he looked around to discover his parents are yet to be with them, he looked over at his grandma who was preparing their dinner, he felt bad not knowing how much long it was going to take his parents to come meet with them. He remembered his father's last words.

"Zander my son, we will be with you whenever you call onto us your mother and I will be there, you just have to make a wish in the fire". Zander became a little inquisitive not understanding what he actually meant.

"How can I call onto him by simply making a wish?, okay fine I will give it a try" he said closing his eyes and taking a deep breath which he saw as an act of concentration.

"I wish to speak with my father and mother". he said not getting any reply, he opened one of his eyes and was amazed by what he saw, the sparkles of fire began to move up to the sky from a circular form and eventually a straight line when it gets to the sky. Zander's expression suddenly changed he became furious because that wasn't what he asked for.

"Is this some kind of trick? I asked for my parents not this, and what is ..." he couldn't complete his sentences seeing what was happening in the fire. The fire moved in a circular motion slowly and steadily growing massively, Zander fell to the floor frightened about the seen.

"is the fire provoked by my words?" he asked himself staggering back slowly.

the fire finally unveiled the image of Johnathan and Jane who were smiling at him graciously. Zander rubbed his eyes and realized that wasn't actually seeing things that his parents were standing right in front of him.

"Mother, Father, Is that you?"

he asked getting up from the floor he found him self when the fire grew.

"Yes son it's us" Johnathan answer still smiling at him.

"But you two are on fire you're burning"

Zander stated not actually understanding it was magic.

"No son, we are not we might be here with you but we are not actually here" Johnathan stated trying to clear his confusion. Zander didn't what to ask further or dwell so much on that same topic, he went further telling his parents how much he really missed them and how much he really wants to spend time with them. Johnathan and Jane were touched by his words and asked him which city they were in, due to haven discussed about it with his grandma he detailed with necessary information required, after which they told him where to meet with them tomorrow morning at sunrise. Zander was really happy that he was finally going to meet with his parents but doesn't want them to leave, he wants to speak with them more even though he can't hug or touch them he was still satisfied seeing them, his parents bidded him goodbye as the fire slowly distinguished as to say water was poured on it forcefully making the whole place dark.Zander wanted to cry but, held back his tears and turned back to his grandmother who has been watching him all these while, he slowly Walked to her.

"Grandma, mom and dad would be coming to us tomorrow right?"

he asked in tears wanting to believe they would come eventually. Anna nodded gently and drew him closer to herself in consolation.

All this while Johnathan was speaking with his son, little did he know that someone was eavesdropping on them, as the person tried to escape, he heard the footsteps and went after the person, he came back not long after really in a bad and disappointed mood knowing that his son and mom's way about had been known why the person.

"dear, I think we gat to leave this night because Zander and mom's life is in danger". he told his wife restlessly.

"What do you mean by that John?" she asked still confused not understanding why he suddenly left and came back disturbed.

"Someone overhead has been listening to our conversation with Zander all this while and that's what makes it dangerous for them, so we gat to leave now to protect them, please pack your things and mine, I will go get Daisy and Wendy ready for the ride". he said kissing her on her forehead. Daisy is a female Royal horse also known for it's bravery and strength but not compered to Opus, the horse was given to Jane as gift when became the queen of the magic clan, while Wendy is equally a female horse also known for it's bravery during it's own time the horse belongs to Anna. Jane brought out their well packed bags after stacking it on their horses they rode off, the horses ran as limbs could carry them.

The next morning, Johnathan and Jane got to village and heard Zander call out to them.

"Mom, Dad". Zander called out in happiness as he dashed forward to embrace them leaving his grandma behind. his parents smiled back at him coming down from their horses and moved forward to meet with him as well.

But they suddenly stopped as another arrow pierced their back in different spots, They gradually knelt down and finally fell to the ground. Zander who was still running to his parent stopped at the sight of the attack, seeing as his parent were pierced severally by an arrow in different spots.

"No!!!!!!" he screamed in pain, as he screamed the echos from his words blew away all the ambushed guards of the command clan, his eyes turned plain white with no trace of black but on hearing his parents voice he came back to himself with his eyes in it's normal color, he didn't even realize what happened or what was about happing with him, he ran to the spot his parents were lying gasping for air.

"Mom...Dad, do not leave me all by myself please, I'm only seven what can I do by myself?". he asked with eyes full of tears.

"You can do a lot of things my son but you only have to trust yourself" Johnathan said pointing his chest. Zander shakes his head not wanting to listen to him .

"Mom, dad I'm sorry, if I had known that this would happen I wouldn't have sent for you two". he blamed himself weeping bitterly, Jane Shaked her head in disapproval.

"whatever is... meant to happen will happen, you... are not to ...be blamed for... it" she said forcing a smile on her lips. Anna walked up to him trying to resist the tears in her eyes from dropping but couldn't control it.

"I wish this was just a terrible nightmare that when I wake up it will be all over and you will still be with us" she said in pain crying.

"You promised me you will survive and that we are still gonna be together as family" she said weeping bitterly even when she is trying not to.

"Mom" Johnathan and Jane called out at the same time.

please take care... of yourself and our son ... Zander, make sure he fulfills his destiny, we... we...(pause, takes a deep breath and continue)we will always be with him each time he calls for us, and mo...mom(pause, takes a deep breath once again and continue)mom remember his identity would be made know to him only when he turns eighteen, and never forget that... that we love you so much" Johnathan said holding Jane's hand in so much pain.

"(Enervate!)"Anna chanted as the was a blue beam after which she fell weakly on the ground, she wanted to do it again but Johnathan stopped her.

"Mom, please stop you can't do it you are already old I don't want you to lose your life in the process". Johnathan said holding his mother's hands in tears.

Zander returned with some herbs in his hand.

"mom, dad you guys can still make it I read that this can cure an injured person once taken" he assured forcing a smile on his lips. his mother returned the smile slowly wiping his tears.

"It is time for your father and I to meet your grandpa, but remember that we will always be with you as for long as you call out to us" she assured him.

"Indeed you are the son of your father". Johnathan said smiling ignoring the pain he was feeling in his abdomen.he touched Zander's forehead where the mark of royalty is visible, his hand fell slowly until it reached the ground he smiled at his son trying to say a word as he breath his last. Zander still confused looked at his mother who really is now weak.

"I... I...lo...ve you...my son" she managed to say as she breath her last.

Zander mellowed his head as he began to weep bitterly. Anna on her on part could not believe she had just lost her brother's son and wife at the same spot, she felt like the world was really against and after her, she wanted to console Zander was continuously shaking his parents to wake up but ended up crying as well.
