Ch. 51THE SILVER ARMY


The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Benjamin, Lilia, and Ryn wondered where Esther could have put Marcelos for her to say that and asked her. Esther replied to them “in a prison world. A world I created for him, his Marcs, and his phoenixes. It is going to be hard for him to get out of the prison world so until then we have to do whatever it is we have to do now that we have him off our back”.

“Is it because you put Marcelos, his Marcs, and his Marcelos in prison world is why my wound suddenly disappeared?” Mike asked Esther, and everyone was surprised to hear that.

“Are you sure your cut has closed up?” Ryn asked Mike.

“Yes. It disappeared” said Mike showing everyone where the cut was, and they all couldn’t see the cut anymore and the place looked like Mike was never wounded there.

Esther said to everyone “the cut remained as a connection to the Marcs because they exist in this world but now that I have taken them out of this world and imprisoned them somewhere else means the Marcs no longer exist so the cut wouldn’t. The cut is like an essence of the Marcs so them being gone also made the wound disappear”.

“What if they return will the cut return to my chest?” asked Mike.

“No. You have nothing to worry about. Your wound is never returning” said Esther.

“Does that mean we should be grateful to you for what you did or we should blame you for bringing Marcelos into their village? The strange people lost their village because of you” said Kinsley to Esther.

“You don’t need to blame her for anything. Esther didn’t do anything wrong. It has been said through our generations that our village isn’t truly our home and that the one who put us there we come to eventually take us back home” said the leader of the strange people.

“And who was it that put you in the village?” Tracy asked the leader.

“It wasn’t a village when we got there. It was just nothing but he and her helped us build the village and made sure we never lacked anything. They also made sure we were secure from the outside world. Am sure you were all surprised that we were able to know that Ramsay was the great King and that is because we were brought to live in the village by the great King” said the leader.

The princes, the princesses, Benjamin, Hawk, Ryn, and Lilia were all surprised to hear that except Esther who seemed to know about that. Noah curiously asked the leader “what do you mean by it was the great King that brought you here? Which great King and why did the great King bring you here?”.

“His royal majesty, King Hope. We were able to know Ramsay was the great King when we saw the invisible golden crown that can only be seen by our people on his head but I had to tell my people to lay low on it until I could confirm that he was truly the great King” said the leader.

The princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Ryn, and Benjamin were surprised to hear that except Esther. Ramsay said surprisingly “an invisible golden crown and the great King Hope?”.

“Yes. You have an invisible golden crown on your head that can only be seen by specific people which is what makes you different from the other Kings. What they said about the great King Hope was also true. It was Omen the second Sa’er and the daughter of great King Hope that suggested the great King to take them out of Axarax” said Esther.

“That means their generations have been existing for more than a thousand. Why would Omen suggest that?” asked Kylie surprisingly.

“Before the coming of Marcelos, Omen had already predicted a lot of disaster that would befall Axrax after her death and that of great King Hope. Omen also predicted the coming of Marcelos even though there was nothing sure that it was going to be Marcelos. Omen's predictions made the great King Hope take precautions for the future so he could find a way to protect Axrax and they were part of the precautions” said Esther.

“Now I understand why the Dominion book talks about them to be the silver army” said Lilia, and that surprised the others that Lilia knows about them except Esther and Ramsay.

“Do you know them?” Benjamin asked Lilia.

“They are the second powerful army after the light army according to the book” said Ramsay, and the others were surprised that Ramsay also knows about them.

“You also know about them?” Noah surprisingly asked Ramsay.

“Yes. Maybe you should have read more pages in the book before you decided to abandon it” said Ramsay to Noah.

“Does that mean they are also Axrians?” asked Camelia.

“Yes, they are. They are part of the first citizen of Axrax” said Esther.

“I always heard the name Axrax from my father and he always said it was far away home of ours. I always asked him what he meant by that and he always said that was what his father told him just like his father’s father told his father” said the leader.

“Yeah. You are part of Axrax citizen that was hidden for a great purpose” said Esther to the leader.

“I can’t wait to see what Axrax looks like. Where is Axrax?” asked the leader with a smile.

Hearing that, the princes, the princesses, Hawk, Lilia, Benjamin, and Ryn looked at each other with sadness which the leader noticed and asked them “what happened?”.

Hawk sighed and said “Axrax is lost. Not just Axrax but all the other kingdoms”.

“Were there other places like Axrax too?” asked the leader surprised.

“Yes. But Axrax was different from other kingdoms and it was where the great King resided with a lot of different beings” said Noah sadly.

“What happened to Axrax and the other kingdoms that made them lost?” asked the leader unhappily.

“You already met them. Marcelos and his undead armies happened. We couldn’t stop Marcelos' armies because of their number which is bigger than any armies that have ever existed, their skills, abilities, brutality, and since they can’t stay dead when killed because of their master who is Marcelos. Marcelos also can’t be killed so there was no chance of us winning against him” said Hawk to the leader.

“Which is why we are on a quest to get what it is that can end Marcelos and his armies” said Ramsay to the leader.

“Marcelos must be very powerful. If I am to hear you correctly. You mean those armies we killed didn’t die?” asked the leader confused.

“They did die but Marcelos will wake them back so we see them as armies that don’t die” said Lilia.

“If they have taken the kingdoms then why are they after you all?” asked the leader.

“Because Marcelos’ goal is to end every living thing that lives in this world and as we speak another set of Marcelos’ armies has begun the purging of the world to end every living thing” said Esther.

“Then that means we are also not safe now that we have lost our village” said the leader worried.

“Yeah you are not safe but out there are people who are working very hard to build an army powerful enough to stand against Marcelos and we will take you there” said Esther to the leader.

“How are you going to take us there when you all are on a quest?” asked the leader.

“I will open the way to them” said Esther.

“I guess that is why I could feel that your powers have increased after you overcame your rage” said the leader.

“We will help you all but first I have questions to ask you” said Mike to the leader.

“What questions?” the leader asked Mike.

“If your generation is truly from Axrax then why are you wearing leaves as clothes?” Mike asked the leader.

“I don’t know. It was what my father, his father, and his great grandfathers wore before him so we continue it since that is what we knew to be our clothes” said the leader.

“Am sure you have across humans before us and you saw what they wore. How come you never asked why they wore such clothes instead of leaves, and you have never changed to clothes?” Mike asked the leader.

“Because this is our culture and we believe in it more than anything. It was also said that until the great King returns we must never change anything about our culture but now that he is here I guess we can change from leaves to clothes” said the leader.

“Am sure you guys are not wizards or connected to the great King bloodline and you have magic. Am more curious about how you have magic. And if you are said to be the most powerful army second to the light army how come you are humans when the light armies aren’t?” asked Kinsley.

“Well, I don’t know about that. I don’t even know what the light army is” said the leader.

“Well, according to the book, it is said that their powers come directly from their spears which are supposed to be actual silver spears, not wooden spears. It is said that it is their spears that hold the magical powers they use not them” said Lilia.

“Their spears were also made by King Hope and the great wizards of them. After their spears were made, they were all linked to their spears so they could be able to use the magical powers in the spears which is what provided them their silver armor” said Ramsay.

“Yeah, you are right about that. Our powers came from our spears and we know our village was hidden for a reason so we had to hide our spears by disguising them into wooden spears” said the leader.

“So where are the remaining others?” Kinsley asked the leader, and the others wondered what Kinsley meant by that except Esther who knew what Kinsley meant but wondered how Kinsley knew that.

“What do you mean by the others?” Hawk asked Kinsley.

“Judging by the numbers of the soldiers I saw that they have, they are not up to 500. Axrax is known to only have an army with a minimum number of a thousand but they had an army not up to 500. Let's assume the soldiers had died a long time ago, am sure the reason why the great King brought the silver army’s families with them is so that they can continue their bloodline and their bloodline is to continue to be the ones to wield their weapons. If an ordinary army could have a minimum of a thousand am sure an army that possesses magic would be more than that. The silver army number would not be less than a thousand if they were hidden for a greater purpose. So where are the others?” Kinsley asked the leader.

Hearing that, Esther realized Kinsley had gotten smarter with time and the leader smiled and said “It is true that there are more of us and you are right that we were allowed to start a new family and home here with the hope that we continue our bloodline passing our spears along which is why it is not everyone one of us that possess the silver spear. And the combination of us all is more than a thousand. We had done everything according to how we were told and lived according to how we were told. Our spears have also been passed down through generations to each firstborn and in return for doing everything the great King instructed us to do, we were told there is a reward for us”.

“Reward?” Mike asked the leader.

“What reward?” Noah asked the leader.

“It is said that only the great King who took us out of our village knows the reward” said the leader.

Hearing that everyone looked at Ramsay for an answer except Esther but Ramsay looked at everyone back because he had no idea about any reward.
