The Palace Beast

"Be my guest!"

Kyle quickly stretched out his hand; a pitchfork appeared in his hand. "You two, stay behind me." He said to Bonnie and Eva who was standing beside him.

They were both terrified and have already made up their mind that this night is probably their last day. Perhaps it's time to meet her brother and father in the land of the dead.

With the pitchfork, Kyle knocked down Gux and as the rest of the warlocks advances against him, he waved the pitchfork above his head and then hits it on the ground.

The ground opened and swallowed the entire warlock army.

"See you all in hell." He yelled as the ground closes its mouth.

Angrily he walked up to Gux who was still lying on the ground. He grabbed him up and hits his head on the cobbled wall.

"Where is the lost book of Anubis?"

"You can never have it," Gux said in a mocking tone.

"Fair enough."

Kyle places the edge of the pitchfork in Gux's forehead and immediately Gux began to reveal where he has hidden the lost book of Anubis.

The mystery of Kyle getting Gux to tell his secrets made Bonnie and Eva glance at each other with a terrifying look. If Kyle can do this, that means there is nothing that can be hidden from him, not even the secrets of Maxis. Kyle tossed Gux to the ground and then said to Bonnie and Eva, "We have to go now."

"There is one of my guards he is holding hostage, his name is Festus. Can you please ask him his whereabouts?"

"He can't be able to speak again till morning but I was able to extract some of his secrets, and for your guard, Festus, he has been sold to a vampire named, Ambrogio."

"A vampire!" Bonnie exclaimed feeling lost.

She did not encounter the events of vampires in Maxis. King Afa hid the event from her. She is just hearing about vampires for the first time and now the guard they thought has been in the custody of Gux has been sold to a vampire. "We need to go now, my dear," Kyle said stretching his hand towards Bonnie "We need to find this vampire and save my guard from him."

"Not today but I will help you find him if he's still alive. We need to get the lost book of Anubis and get out from here."

...Early Morning...

The first rays of sunlight lit up the dungeon. The dawn chorus of melodic birdsong drifted in. Gux was still lying unconscious inside the dungeon. "Lord Gux!" Kalth cried out.

He has been out for the night with a thousand warlocks who were fighting and defending the course of the Land of Yizi. He just survived the massive havoc Kyle wrecked on the rest of the warlocks because of Bonnie being in their possession. Land of Yizi has been at war with Wazi Land, Ger Land, Far Land, and Bal Land for years now because of the killings of witches and magic creatures. This war has been going on for years since they started executing witches on stake and werewolves.

The werewolf trial started from Wazi Land and spread through Ger Land, Far Land, and Bal Land. This trial includes witches' trials. The warlocks have been kicking against it and for years have opposed such trials since the Land of Yizi is close to these four kingdoms.

The only kingdom filled with creatures of the dark and magic creatures in the Land of Yizi. The other four kingdoms are dominated by humans and ruled by human kings.

Kalth was just coming back from the battlefield with the warlocks assigned to him when he noticed there was no sign of warlocks in the castle anymore.

He made his way to the dungeon to check on the prisoners. On getting there, he saw Gux lying unconscious.

"Quickly, help me take him to his chamber."

One of the warlocks with him quickly sheathed his sword and approaches to help Kalth.

...Kingdom of Maxis...

Queen Afi makes her way to the throne hall with Drew. Any time she passes by, the guards or the people around begin to murmur and mumble. They hate to see the queen and Drew together and they hate the fact that Queen Afi has declared her interest in the throne.

Both the queen and Drew stared on the throne and then turned and smiled at each other.

"Soon this will be ours. I have started gathering the nobles that will make it possible." "I trust you, my love."

Drew draws closer to the queen and kissed her. He wrapped his hands around her waist.

"I told you everything will work and here we are standing with all the nobles shivering at my name, Afi."

Their lovely moment was interrupted when the princess walked in with Eva. The princess cleared her throat to draw her mother's attention and that of Drew.

"What are you doing here?" The queen glares at her daughter. "Guards! Where are these fools? Guards! Come and get her out of this place at once!"

Two guards reluctantly walked into the throne hall on hearing the queen yell for the guards.

"What are you two fools waiting for, drag them out of here at once?" said the Queen as she points at the princess and Eva.

There was a bright smile on the faces of the guards.

"What are you two smiling at? Drag them out of here at once!" Queen Afi yelled.

"Can't you hear your queen?" Drew cuts in. "Do your queen's bidding or I will have your head on a platter!" Drew threatened.

The bright smile on the guards' faces provoked the queen the more as she approaches the two guards. "Both of you are hereby relieved of your duties."

"On whose order, mother?" said a soft voice from the entrance of the throne hall.

As Queen Afi and Drew turned to look, they were shocked by what they saw. It was the king.

King Afa walked into the throne hall majestically startling the queen and Drew. They thought they have seen a ghost. Drew began to draw back in fear but the two guards quickly sized him.
