The Legendary Emperor King

Chapter 8 - The Beginning Of The End [2]

Chapter 8 - The Beginning Of The End [2]

Jul 01, 2024

Protoss Empire, floating city…
      Black Star Condominium…
          Gray Mansion, living room…

- Yuna (wearing a blue dress, braides her hair, folding some clothes): Grey! Come get your clothes… (having difficulty to stand up)

- Damian (in a blue sweater and formal pants, sitting on the sofa, reading a book, looks at Yuna): Honey, let the maids do that, sit here...

- Yuna (looks at Damian, smiles): No, I like doing these things. If I don't do them I'll become a lazy pregnant woman, who only eats ice cream and watches movies, do you want that Damian?

- Damian (laughing): And fat…

- Yuna (laughing, throws a pillow at his face): Stop… (sits on the sofa, next to him)

- Grey (wearing a blue jacket and shorts, goes down the stairs): Mommy, where are they? (sees his father, turns towards the stairs): I didn't know you were here, I'll be back another time...

- Damian (with Yuna in his arms, gets up): Hey, where are you going? Come here… (Grey ignores)

- Yuna (sitting, looks at Damian, smiles): Grey, where is your sister?

- Grey (going up): Sleeping, or whatever… (goes to his room)

- Yuna (looking at Damian, smiles): Since he was born you haven't stayed at home, you haven't taken care of him, you haven't acted like a father, what did you expect? Now he treats you like an enemy. You have to talk to him more... Now come and massage my feet, they are swollen and hurt... (puts his feet on the sofa, sighs)

- Damian (sighs, sits down, does a massage): But it's been two weeks since I stopped going out for a long time, and he still doesn't trust me? And look, I stopped taking him to company meetings, anyway, I can only continue trying to get closer…

Hours later…
    Condominium park…

- Grey (running, spots Mr. A. sitting with is friends, telling the story, bored):Ahh, Mr. A, it isn’t time for the story to start yet… (panting, catching his breath)

- Mr. A (smiling, addressing Grey): Calm down Greyson. I was just reviewing last week’s…

- Christian (Grey’s friend, sitting on the bench, teasing) : What's up Drake? You have to start exercising. Your house is right there, just running a little gets you tired?

- Grey (sits on the bench, annoyed): Shut up Chris. Good morning, everyone. Continue the story Mr. A...

- Kim, Havanna and Mr. A (laughing): Good morning, Drake…

- Christian (chuckling): Calm down, Drake. I'm just giving you some friendly advice, nothing more...

- Mr. A (smile): Stop it you two, let’s get back to the story…

Arthur was certain that the attack on the academy was linked to his arrest. Three months passed, and he found himself in a solitary routine of training, meditation and study in a cell on a remote island. Meanwhile, the battle was already raging fiercely; even his young friends were forced to take up arms in desperate combat. Death lurked around every corner, and the hope of victory dwindled like the flames of a candle at its end.

The situation was critical, and the need for a miracle became palpable. It was then that the idea of ​​“The king’s force” emerged — a legendary power capable of turning the tide of war. To do this, Arthur would need to be imbued with this strength. Windsor, sensing the urgency, appealed to the monarchs to reduce Arthur's sentence.
As the negotiations unfolded, the queen's allies and Arthur's cousins ​​arrived on the island, welcomed by Queen Andromeda's warm hospitality. However, there were more serious matters to be discussed. Alexia, with a bombastic revelation, announced that Arthur had been sentenced to life in prison. The palace meeting room was filled with a heavy silence, as everyone wondered how Alexia had such information. And in the cells, Arthur's fate hung in the balance.

- Director Odyssey (in the adjacent cell, sitting on the bed, eating): Arthur, do you know why there are no other prisoners here besides us?

- Arthur (eating, looking at the director): Why?

- Director Odyssey (eating, chuckling): Because criminals are so afraid of this place that they avoid committing certain crimes… (laughing)

- Arthur (eating, glancing at his plate, smiling): Interesting… (sighs): This experience is educational…

- Director Odyssey (looking at Arthur, smiles): Son, you are being forged, a king is being forged in you...

- Arthur (laughing): A king? In prison? Of course, I'll be king of mice then...

- Director Odyssey (smiles): Do you think this is all in vain? It is in difficulties that great men and women are born…

In China, Qin-Shi managed to invest with the money his father gave him to get by, he found a house to stay with Eleanor.
             King Yer sent his daughter to Union headquarters to kill Arthur, and Alexia revealed the real reason behind her appearance in Arthur's life...

- Queen Andromeda (hiding her anguish): Speak, Alexia!

- Alexia (teary-eyed, sighing): Before I came back, before I met the master, I went on a trip for archaeological purposes with some colleagues. We climbed Mount Everest, and we reached the top…

- Windsor, and Bedesvire (surprised, stand up): WHAT?! THIS IS PROHIBITED FOR THOSE WHO ARE NOT DESCENDANTS PENDRAGON!

- Cassilda (focused, thoughtful): What do you mean it's forbidden?

- Queen Andromeda (looks at Alexia): Daughter, continue...

- Alexia (sobbing, sighs): We thought it was a myth, we thought there was no harm in going up there, when we got to the top, we entered a cave, the cave of the kings, there were very old writings on the walls, made with swords. Arts, techniques, messages and much more, but as it was late and very cold, we lit a fire. There was something inside the cave besides us, someone, a man. Killed my colleagues one by one, and when only I was left, he told me to look for the master, and protect him with my life, and I saw him again when I was in a coma...

- Queen Andromeda (sighs, passes her hand over her face): What do you want to say?

- Alexia (wiping away her tears): He can help, he can bring the master back.

- Cassilda/General (thinking angrily): No, you don't know that. You're making assumptions. What if he kills us because we let him get arrested?!

- Windsor/ Patriarch of the Ashura (seriously, looks out the window): His name is Butler, he is the primordial guardian, he can help... (hears his voice) [I can not!]

                          Author: [ ] = telepathy.

- Alexia (looks at Windsor): That's his name. Do you know it?

- Queen Andromeda (thoughtfully): And where is he?

- Tristan (anguished, wipes away his tears): He stays in the cave of the kings…

- Alexia (looks at the queen) “I can’t let him stay in prison!”: I'm going there, I don't have much use here, so I'm going.

- Cassilda (looks angrily at the queen): Your Majesty, I can't believe you're going to send a girl who doesn't know how to defend herself to a mountain?!

- Queen Andromeda (looks at Cassilda, sighs): I would like to say no. Tristan, Hera, Windsom, Bedesvire and Phoenix, you will be captains, you will be responsible for brigades in some bases on the continent. You will have the commanders and the general as superiors, Windsor, and some others that I will still name, will be commanders, and the general is there... (points for Cassilda)

                Author: Windsor, and Windsom are father and son.

- Queen Andromeda (looking at Alexia): Alexia, you and Sofia go to the mountain immediately. Rescuing Arthur is essential for us...

- Alexia (shakes her head in approval, smiles)

                 In Greece, Zeus, happy with the fragility of the amazon army, and Ares tired of this war, decides to go out to the battlefield... In his cell, Arthur trained, meditated, studied and with the help of Alfred finally evolved...

- Arthur (sits on the floor, gets into a meditation position, closing his eyes, goes into total concentration mode, meditates)

30 minutes later…

- Director Odyssey (wakes up, feeling a tremendous movement of Qi, yawns and looks at Arthur's cell): Hmmm?! Kid, what are you doing? (sees Arthur evolving, surprised)

- Director Odyssey (surprise): You're a Supreme Master at just 16 years?! That's impossible. Cassandra would never believe it if I told her...

- Arthur (evolves and uses the art of a thousand armies,  leaving footprints on the ground) “My movements… My senses, and now I can use telepathy?! This is too much…”

- Alfred (in Arthur's head) “Boss, evolution done successfully!”

             Under normal conditions, it takes someone decades of years to reach the Supreme Master level, but Arthur, in 7 years, reached this stage... Alexia, excited, climbs the hill with her personal guardian, Sofia. There were 8 bases, four on the Asu continent, and four on Eurus, each base with its chief and captain, and the war began.

             In China, the war began to scare the population, the cities became battlefields, and Qin-Shi continued to believe that one day he will be king of China, and will bring peace, and the 11 kings question Zeus, why of this war, but because it didn’t matter…
One month later, Alexia persisted in her ascent up the mountain. King Yer, relentless in his pressure, urged his daughter toward the Union headquarters. And one fateful morning, Alexia and Sofia reached the summit.

The primordial guardian awaited them—a formidable presence, ancient and unyielding. His eyes bore the weight of eons, and his voice echoed through the thin air. He mistreated them, testing their resolve. Fear clawed at Alexia’s chest, but she pushed through. Fear was a luxury they couldn’t afford. Alexia overcame her trembling, her heart pounding in rhythm with the guardian’s scrutiny. She faced him, her voice steady, her purpose unshaken. And to her surprise, he obeyed. The guardian yielded, revealing secrets buried deep within the mountain.

- Princess Hera (in white military attire, wiping her face with a towel, sits by the fire)

- Arwen (in black military clothing, sitting by the fire, admiring Hera, smiles) “I have never seen such a beautiful person, she truly is a goddess…”

- Argos (in black military attire, sitting close, teasing Arwen): Be careful Arwen, she's your captain, and her boyfriend bites...

- Luana (in black military clothing, sitting by the fire, smiles): She is the youngest of us, but she is a Grand Master and captain. Must be because of her boyfriend. I heard that he is such a strong monster…

- Rohan (in black military attire, sitting nearby, skeptical): I don’t believe that. It’s an exaggeration. 

- Princess Hera (sitting by the fire, looking at the four of them): Have you eaten yet?

- Luana (sitting, looks at Hera): Captain, what's your boyfriend like?

- Argos, Arwen, and Rohan (looking at Hera, curious)

- Princess Hera (surprised, blushes): My boyfriend? Who? Arthur? (nervous)

- The 4 (notice the nervousness)

- Luana (smiling) “She really likes him, just talking about him and she turns red…”: Yes, him…

- Princess Hera (nervous, blushes): He’s not my boyfriend. He’s a suitor. But about him—Arthur—he’s a Treadway. Strong, very strong. Last time I saw him, he was an Experienced Master. Now? He could be a Grand Master, Supreme Master, or even Supreme Grand Master. He evolves at an uncanny speed, and his body seems to transform with each step. And his domain… (thinking of Arthur, smiles)

- The 4 (mouths open, surprised): IMPOSSIBLE!!

- Princess Hera (looks at the 4, laughs): What?

- Argos (surprised, incredulous): He's a Treadway?! And at 16 years he may have already reached the apex of power????(faints)

- Rohan (sitting, envious): That's an exaggeration captain. It's not possible for someone to be that strong, and I heard that the Treadway house was destroyed a long time ago, and King Heinrich's son disappeared with the queen...

- Luana (sitting, looking at Rohan, laughing): You’re just jealous...

- Princess Hera (sitting, looks at Rohan, laughs): What world are you in, Rohan? Who do you think Queen Andromeda is? She is the widow of the late King Heinrich, and Arthur is their son. You have been fighting in her name all this time, and you don't know that? And last time I was in the palace they talked about The king’s force, wait and see how strong he is...

- Arwen (sitting, his confidence waning) “Does he possess The king’s force? I can’t compete with that…”

- Argos (awakens, his senses alert): I need to meet him…

- Princess Hera (smiling, her eyes drifting to the sky)“I just hope that Alexia complete the mission…”

Arthur’s legend grows, even within the cold stone walls of his cell. Meanwhile, Qin-Shi plots against the King of China, concealing an illicit affair that leaves Eleanor betrayed and heartsick.

- Grey (nervous, hurrying away): Mr. A, I completely forgot, I have to go out with my parents, my mother is going to hit me...

- Mr. A (looking at Grey, smiles): What are you waiting for?! Go quickly, walk…

- Grey (walking away, waves): Goodbye Mr. A, Chris, Havanna and Kim...

- Mr. A, Christian, Havanna and Kim (seeing Grey leave, they wave): Bye...
