After travelling for few days and night, Benjamin finally got to Axrax and walked into the city through the north gate. Benjamin got in front of the gate of Axrax palace and wanted to entered the palace but was stopped by the guards at the gate who asked him who he was but he couldn't tell them who he was and instead Benjamin said to the guards that he needed to see and talk to Zussorender so he need to go into the palace but the guards didn't let him in and told Benjamin that Zussorender isn't in the palace.
After hearing that Zussorender isn't in the palace, Benjamin told the guards that they should let him see the two royal princes. The guards asked Benjamin why he wants to see the royal princes but Benjamin couldn't tell them the reason why and tried to force his way into the palace saying he needed to see the royal princes and tell them something very urgent. But the guards wouldn't let Benjamin into the palace since he couldn't identify himself and tell them the reason he wants to see the royal princes.
The head guard was patrolling the palace ground when he saw a man at the palace gate trying to force his way into the palace but was being stopped by the guards, then the head guard went toward the gate. On getting to the guards and Benjamin that were struggling with each other, the head guard told the guards to let go of Benjamin and asked Benjamin ''who are you and why are you doing things that might make you end up in the dungeon?''.
''Am sorry. I can't tell you who i am but i need to see the royal princes'' said Benjamin to the head guard.
''We can't let anyone into the palace without knowing their identity'' said the head guard to Benjamin.
''I understand you but i need to talk to the royal princes it's urgent'' said Benjamin to the head guard.
''Okay. Let me see your ID'' said the head guard to Benjamin.
''About that....am not from here, am from a very far place. I need to see the royal princes'' said Benjamin to the head guard.
''Without an ID you can't see his royal highnesses and you look suspicious. Leave now'' said the head guard to Benjamin and turn back to leave but Benjamin hold his hand that made the head guard stopped and looked at Benjamin.
Benjamin said to the head guard as he hold his hand ''please this a matter of life and death. I need to see the royal princes. Tell them Benjamin of shape town want to see them and they will understand''.
The head guard looked at Benjamin carefully and could see he is someone decent and that he really want to see the royal princes for something important. The head guard said to Benjamin ''okay wait here, i will let them know of your presence'' and left.
Lilia and 50 Orges were dressed in a big clothe that covered their whole body (from their head to toe) and use a scarf to covered their nose and mouth leaving only their eyes visible to be able to see. Lilia and the 50 Orges were able to enter Axrax through a merchant group they joined at the west gate and they act like they were with the merchant group. As soon as they entered Axrax, Lilia and the 50 Orges departed from the merchant group and find a place to hid waiting for Philip to attack Axrax so they can carry out their plan.
Ramsay, Noah, princess Esther, Gabriel, Lythia and the other princes and princesses were having fun, drinking, talking and laughing at the palace pavilion since they were the only one home. As they were having fun, the head guard came and bow to show his respect then the head guard went to Ramsay and said into his ear ''a man is here to see your royal highness''.
Ramsay asked the head guard silently ''who is that?''.
''He said is name his Benjamin of shape town'' said the head guard into Ramsay's ear.
Hearing that, Ramsay was surprised and asked to the head guard ''are you sure about that?'' silently.
''Yes your royal highness. He is at the palace gate'' said the head guard to Ramsay silently.
Ramsay told the others that he need to attend to something and stood up. Ramsay left with the head guard to the palace gate to see if it is truly Benjamin that is asking for him.
On getting to the palace gate, Ramsay was surprised to see Benjamin and they hugged each other happily as they both smiled at each other. As they both separated, Ramsay asked Benjamin with a smile ''it is so good to see you Lord Benjamin. How have you been?''.
''Have been great your royal highness and you look good and handsome than the last time we met'' said Benjamin (with a smile) to Ramsay.
''Thank you. You must be exhausted from a long journey, come in'' said Ramsay to Benjamin, then Ramsay showed Benjamin the way in with his hand and Benjamin walked into the palace.
As Benjamin walked in, Ramsay said to the head guard ''go get Noah and tell him to meet me at the west pavilion'', then the head guard left to call Noah and Ramsay took Benjamin with him.
Ramsay sat Benjamin down as a maid at the pavilion stood in front of them waiting if they might need anything. Ramsay said to Benjamin ''it is really great seeing you again, i never thought i will ever see you in Axrax. How is Ryn and everyone at shape town?''.
''They are all fine and am glad to see you too'' said Benjamin to Ramsay.
''You must be thirsty or hungry from your journey. What will would like?'' Ramsay asked Benjamin.
''All that can wait. There is something important i need to discuss with you which is what brought me to Axrax'' said Benjamin to Ramsay
''Can't that wait. At least you should have something in your stomach'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''No it can't. It is very urgent'' said Benjamin to Ramsay just then Noah arrived.
Benjamin stood up on seeing Noah and they both hugged smiling. As they separated, Noah said to Benjamin ''it's so good to see you again. How have you been lord Benjamin?''.
''Have been great and you are looking good too'' said Benjamin to Noah.
''What do you expect, we are the royal princes'' said Noah (with a smile) to Benjamin, and they all smiled.
''I guess being a prince should be something everyone should hope for'' said Benjamin with a smile.
''I don't think so, being a prince also means a lot of responsibility'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''Are you here alone or with someone?'' Noah asked Benjamin.
''He is here alone and he said he is here because he has something urgent to discuss with us'' said Ramsay to Noah.
''What that?. Hope it's not something we should all be scared of and before i forget, how is Ryn?'' Noah asked Benjamin , Noah and Benjamin sat down.
''Ryn is fine and what am here to discuss with you is what can prevent the great war from ever happening'' said Benjamin to Ramsay and Noah.
''I think the war has already began'' said Noah to Benjamin.
''What do you mean?'' asked Benjamin puzzled.
''Few days ago, the villages that surround and are close to us were attacked by the Orges, then our father wage war on all the Orges. Right now he, Zussorender and the soldiers are all on their way to kill all the Orges'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
On hearing that, Benjamin thought about Ramsay said. ''I don't think there is anything to prevent from happening. It has already begun'' said Noah to Benjamin.
Benjamin asked Ramsay and Noah ''did you father go with all the soldiers in the Kingdom?''.
''No of course. If he did that then the kingdom will be vulnerable. Well he left us in charge'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''What is that you want to discuss with us?"' Noah asked Benjamin.
''Few months ago we captured two Orges that were spying on our town and we tortured them. I find out from those Orges that there is one thing that can wake Marcelos up'' said Benjamin to Ramsay and Noah.
''I guess it is no longer a secret now that you also know that our royal blood can wake Marcelos up'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''What are you talking about?'' asked Benjamin confused.
''I thought you knew that our blood can wake up Marcelos and open his tomb'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''So you means your bloodline blood is also part of the bloods that put Marcelos to sleep?' Benjamin (surprised) asked Noah and Ramsay.
'''Are you saying it isn't only our blood that can wake Marcelos up?'' Noah confused (same with Ramsay) asked Benjamin.
''It seems you also don't know. I found out from the captured Orges that it isn't the blood of the wizards that put Marcelos to sleep but the blood of a group of people. And i only know two of those people now which is my bloodline and yours'' said Benjamin.
Ramsay and Noah were surprised on hearing that. ''So our blood and yours isn't the only thing that put Marcelos to sleep and can wake him up'' said Ramsay.
''Yes and no. Our blood maybe part of what put Marcelos to sleep but it is not what can wake Marcelos up. The real reason why am here is to tell you what is more important which is. There is one blood that bind all the bloods that was used to put Marcelos to sleep which is the blood of a Sa'er. And if the Marc and the Orges get their hands on the Sa'er that is the end for everything'' said Benjamin to Ramsay and Noah.
''Are you saying the blood of a Sa'er is truly what can wake Marcelos up not ours?'' Noah asked Benjamin.
''Yes. The blood of a Sa'er bind all the blood together and that same blood can separate all the bloods'' said Benjamin.
''What or who is Sa'er?'' Ramsay asked Benjamin.
''A Sa'er is someone that.........'' said Benjamin.
Benjamin was cut short of words as the emergency kingdom bell rang which they all heard. Benjamin asked ''what is going on?''. Noah and Ramsay stood up worried and didn't know what reply to give to Benjamin, just then the head guard (tensed) walked to them.
The head guard bow in front of Noah and Ramsay and said to them ''your royal highnesses you need to come to the west city gate right now''.
''What is it?'' Noah asked the head guard.
''We just received words from the west city gate that an army of Orge is marching toward the west gate'' said the head guard to Ramsay and Noah.
Noah and Ramsay were surprised and confused on hearing that, Benjamin stood up. ''An army of Orge?. Are you sure about that?'' Ramsay (worried) asked the head guard.
''Yes your royal highness'' said the head guard.
''Go to the other princes and the princesses, and tell them to meet me at the west city gate right now'' said Ramsay to the head guard.
Ramsay, Noah and Benjamin went to the west city gate on horses. The three of them got down from the horses on getting to the west gate and climbed the stairs that lead to the city gate wall battlement. Ramsay, Noah and Benjamin standing on the battlement close to each other, really saw an army of Orge on their Orgmus (each) and a man on horse leading them, marching toward the gate and above the Orges was a dark sky and lightning sparkled in that sky.
The captain in charger of guarding the west gate came to the Ramsay and Noah and bow before them to show his respect on getting to them. Noah asked the captain ''how many do you think they are''.
''We can't really estimate their numbers since they are still far from us and i thought his royal majesty went after them'' said the captain to Noah.
''Yes he did and this army is not lead by a Marc but a man which means the Orges must have been split into two. Am sure the one his royal majesty went after is lead by the Marc'' said Ramsay.
''What can of stupid man will dare join hand with the Orges and Marc'' said Benjamin (in disbelief).
''There is one coming with the Orges'' said Noah.
''Should we send someone to inform his royal majesty about the Orges marching upon us?'' the captain asked Ramsay.
''There is no need to. This army of Orges are not enough to capture the city or Axrax and i wonder how they are gonna climb the wall or break the gate''.
''I know how they can climb the wall'' said Benjamin to Ramsay and Noah.
''How?'' Noah asked Benjamin.
''Those creatures that the Orges are riding are called Orgmus and they are capable of climbing wall not breaking gate'' said Benjamin.
Ramsay, the captain and Noah were shocked on hearing that. ''They can climbed wall?'' Ramsay asked Benjamin to confirm what he just said.
''Yes'' said Benjamin.
''Who are you and how do you know that?'' the captain asked Benjamin.
''Don't asked him (Benjamin) any question but whatever he says is the truth. He is way old than he look'' said Noah to the captain.
''Yes your royal highness'' said the captain to Noah.
''What more are the Orgmus capable of?'' Ramsay asked Benjamin.
''They have a strong body and because of that one swing from a sword can't killed them but if we want them dead easily we go for their necks and eyes, that is their vulnerable spot. One more thing, they are very fast'' said Benjamin.
''Thanks for the tips or else we won't be able to defeat those things'' said Ramsay to Benjamin.
''Are they really coming from this west side only?'' Noah asked the captain.
''Yes, there are no words from the other gates about an army marching toward them. What do we do now your royal highnesses?'' the captain asked Noah and Ramsay.
''I want every gate closed and everyone one in the city in their home, also tell the soldiers at all the gate not to leave their post. Gather all the remaining soldiers in the kingdom and bring them all to the west gate, i want them full the battlement right now. Father left me in charge and we are going to fight'' said Ramsay to the captain and the captain left just then the princes and princesses arrived at the gate on horses.
The other princes and princess got down from their horses and climbed the stairs to the battlement. The other princes and princesses went to Noah and Ramsay and stood next to them. They also looked out and saw the Orges on their Orgmus and a man on horse marching toward them and were all worried.
Prince Mike said ''at last we will having our battle fight''.
''I pray we survive'' said prince Redrick.
All soldiers (which is a million) remaining in the kingdom were called to the palace before being deployed to the west gate and Ramsay told the soldiers about the Orgmus and how to kill them very fast. Half of the soldiers deployed to the west gate were made to stand guard on the ground ready to kill any Orges and Orgmus that manage to climbed through the wall into the city and the other half were made to stand at the battlement of the west gate. Some of the soldiers that stood on the battlement are archers, holding a bow and a quiver full of arrows at their back and they are ready to shoot any Orges that tried to climb the wall or break down the gate. And the other soldiers stood behind the archers holding their swords ready to kill any Orges that made it through the archers arrow to the battlement.
Ramsay told Lythia and Gabriel to stay in their room, all the palace guards to close all the palace gate and doors, and the guards guarding the palace are to remain in the palace except the head guard that is coming with them to the west gate to fight. Ramsay also told Benjamin that he is going to joined the fight which Benjamin agreed but Benjamin told Ramsay that he can't changed into his animal form here but will need a sword and Ramsay said to him with a smile ''you are covered Lord Benjamin''.
Ramsay and Noah took the other princes, the princesses and Benjamin to the palace armory to pick a weapon and armor of their choice. As they were all checking out the armor and weapon to pick, prince Kinsley asked Ramsay ''what is the plan your royal highness?''.
''There is no plan than to make sure the Orges and their Orgmus don't get into the city'' said Ramsay to prince Kinsley.
''Esther, i don't think you should come with us to the gate with'' said Noah to princess Esther.
''And why shouldn't i?'' Princess Esther asked Noah.
''Those things out there are not something that must be underestimated and their way of fighting is cruel than you could ever imagine. Have never seen you fight but i think you should sit this one out'' said Noah to princess Esther.
''No brother. Our sister is more capable than you think'' said Ramsay to Noah and took a bow then went to princess Esther.
Ramsay stretched his arm forward for Princess Esther to have the bow in his hand and said to her ''this is your specialty sister and this bow once belong to my mother. I want you to have it till we survive this battle because father must not see it in your hand''.
Princess Esther collected the bow with a smile and said to Ramsay ''i will carry it with honor''.
Everyone picked an armor of their choice and weapon. Benjamin and princess Camelia picked two swords each, princess Esther picked a quiver full of arrows with the bow Ramsay gave her and princess Kylie, prince Kinsley, prince Redrick, prince Mike, Ramsay and Noah picked a sword each.
They all wore their armor and hold their weapons except princess Esther that wore her bow and quiver full of arrows, and they all walked to the palace gate. On getting to the palace gate they all met the head guard waiting for them with horses. They all get on their horses and ride to the city west gate.
King Raynold and his armies stood not too far from Zussorader (on horse holding his staff), the Marc (on the dark phoenix) and his army of Orges, and a dark and lightning sky hover over them. The Orges were all on foot looking savagery with a lot of dangerous weapons in their hands.
King Raynold, Lord Emmanuel, Zussorender, General Raphael, the generals and the Light army were not surprised to see Zussorader leading the Orges and the Marc but the soldiers and wizards were surprised wondering how come Zussorader is the one leading the dark army.
King Raynold, Zussorender and Lord Emmanuel rode their horse forward, Zussorader also rode his horse forward toward them. King Raynold, Zussorender and Lord Emmanuel stopped their horse on getting close to Zussorader on his horse which also stopped on getting close to them.
Zussorader said to Zussorender with a smile ''Hello twin brother, it been a long time'' as he looked at Zussorender but Zussorender gave no response.
''I never thought we will ever be meeting like this Zussorader'' said Lord Emmanuel to Zussorader.
''That is why one can't predict ones fate and the future, your grace'' said Zussorader to Lord Emmanuel as he looked at him.
''We can still end this now before it turn to bloodshed Zussorader. Surrender with the mind crystal and we will deal with the Orges and the Marc ourselves'' said King Raynold to Zussorader.
''And why would i do that?'' said Zussorader to King Raynold.
''Because this not who you are brother, you are better than this. You are better than anyone'' said Zussorender to Zussorader.
''Well i don't think so. You will always be better than me brother, that's why you always get chosen for everything and am always rejected'' said Zussorader (with a smile) to Zussorender.
''That is not true you know that. Am sure you must have your reason for doing all these and if there is anything we have done to make you turn your back on us tell us and we will make amendment. There is still time for you to come home brother, let be together again just like we were when we were still young'' said Zussorender to Zussorader.
''I promise myself not to ever go or look back once i followed this path and if it lead to my death i will accept my fate. There is no place for me with you or anyone anymore, this is my home now and these are my family (Orges)'' said Zussorader to Zussorender.
''They are not human Zussorader, they are creature created with dark magic. You will never belong with them Zussorader. It is not too late to forget about this stupid ambition of yours and come back to us. If Marcelos wake up he will destroyed everything and killed everyone you have ever known or loved'' said King Raynold to Zussorader.
''Am only here to pay my last respect to your royal majesty and everyone. This is where am ending my ties with everyone. The Zussorader you all know die here and right now, so goodbye. I wish you all survive what is to come'' said Zussorader to them and bow to them.
Zussorender wanted to talk to Zussorader but couldn't because Zussorader turned his horse back and ride back to the Orges. King Raynold said to Zussorender and Lord Emmanuel ''i don't care what he says i want him captured alive'' and they returned back to the army.
King Raynold said out loud to the soldiers, Generals and wizards and as his horse go left and right in front of his armies ''i know you might all be scared right now because you are about to face an army you have never face but only heard about in story. But i will tell you to not let go of that fear, i want you all to turn that fear into a weapon thinking about what those beast will do to your families if they ever get through us to the castle. They fight to kill all living thing but we fight to keep our home, families and loved ones safe and that is our powerful weapon. Don't be afraid of what they will do to you but be afraid of what you will do to them'' King Raynold stopped his horse, faced the Orges and unsheathed his sword ''we fight for Axrax''.
All the soldiers, generals, and wizard also shouted ''we fight for Axrax'' as they unsheathed their weapon and raised it up, Lord Emmanuel also unsheathed his sword.
Zussorender also said out loud to the Orges in ancient language as his horse go left and right ''let sweep these monsters that called themselves human off this earth and rule back the land as we once rule the land alongside our master. Let present their heads as gift to master. For Marcelos''.
All the Orges and Marc also shouted in ancient language ''for Marcelos'' as they raised their weapon up.
King Raynold said the word ''attack'' to the army and he lead the soldiers, wizards, light army, generals and the others into battle. Zussorader also told the Orges to attack and the Orges ran toward Axrax army (the dark sky follow them) that was coming toward them in speed but Zussorader and Marc stay behind.
Philip and the Orges on their Orgmus stood a few space from the west city gate of Axarx, looking at the soldiers that stood on the battlement ready to fight.
Ramsay, Noah, Benjamin, princess Esther, all the other princes and princesses, and the soldiers and captain looked at the Orges and their Orgmus which was looking at them savagery. Ramsay looked at everyone and saw they were afraid but trying to hide their fear except his brother and Benjamin.
Then Benjamin said out loud to everyone with courage ''i know we are all afraid but it is fine. If we are all not afraid on seeing this kind of army it means we can never win this war. But i promise you all one thing, as long as we protect this wall they will never make it into the city and we will prevail. Remember, we are fighting for our home and no one can take our home from us except they kill us all but that is never going to happened. Let prove to those who left us home and went into battle that we can be rely on. We fight for Axrax''.
Everyone also shouted ''we fight for Axrax'' except for Benjamin.
Philip ordered the Orges to attack and they all ride their Orgmus toward the wall, the dark sky also go with the Orges. Seeing the Orges coming toward the wall, Ramsay shouted out loud ''archer'' and all the archers fixed an arrow to their bow and pointed it at the Orges and Orgmus, princess Esther also fixed an arrow to her bow. Just as the Orges get closer to the wall, Ramsay ordered the archers to release their arrow and they did toward the Orgmus. All the other soldiers get ready as they all unsheathed their sword, Noah, Ramsay, Benjamin, prince Kinsley, princess Kylie, prince Redrick, prince Mike and princess Camelia also unsheathed their swords.
