Altora: The Chronicles Of The Ren Ky Warriors - Volume 3: Book 3: Dragons And Roses Chapter 116 Mray 18th Shadow

Azoth walked over to the council hall, he stood outside the doors. Gripping his fist tight. “Azoth, you seem worse than ware? What happened in the Spade Dominion?”

Azoth turned to see who was speaking to him, and noticed Vail, “Vailor should I be calling you Kito? As you have been exposed?”

Kito sighed as he walked up beside him, “What ever tickles your fancy, besides why are you calling for meeting with the other and I?”

Azoth growled before looking at the doors, “Well, my attempt failed, and Vann and I are band from the kingdom. We shall discuss more once everyone has arrived.”

Crow walked over with Erin and Hans, “Azoth, how many more are we waiting for?”

“No one. Let us enter. I much to discuss from what Vann and I figured out while in the Spade Dominion.”

They all followed Azoth as the guards opened the doors. Kito leaned against the wall as the other sat down.

“So, tell us what happened first. I am curious to what you have to say?” Lily spoke softly as she watched Azoths demeanor.

“Well, I will admit, our mission in the Dominion was a failure. That was because I” Azoth began.

“You screwed up by demanding to see the local lord?” Kito interjected. Azoths face stiffened, “Well you certainly made things much harder, yet that is to be expected within that kingdom to begin with.”

Erin leaned back in her chair and stared at Kito, crossing her arms. “What do you know? you never have been” She started to argue.

“Enough and let me speak. Since I know how that place works.” Kito glared at Erin.

Erin huffed as Azoth leaned in, “then tell us what you know? Kito?”

Kito nodded, “Right, the kingdom runs on gabling for pretty mush everything. Yet there are rules to meet the royal family, where you need a specific item and have had contact with the royals.”

Erin sat up, “Wait, you mean that we have someone who has been to see the royal family and have a very specific item just to have an audience with them!?” She raised her voice. “Are you Kidding me!”

Kito shook his head, “I wish I were, and the last known outsider was Morris fourteen years ago. Meaning Lovell, and Ark might have been the last to have visited her.”

Hans raised his brow. “Her?”

“Yes, the ruler is a she, and she is not to be trifled with. As I would rather deal with Black Wolf over her any day at any time. She will destroy you mentally and physically. Her nick name is The Fox of Deathly Fire. She uses her wiles to make men and women fall in lover with her and then destroys their confidence and physically has them whipped with venom coated flagellation.” Kito explain as he shivered, “I remember stories about her when I was a child living near the border. She is both kind and malevolent.”

Erin went pale as she stared at Kito, “You are joking right?”

Kito shook his head, “No, we have to gain access the hard way by working up the ladder. We start by gaining a reputation. Then going after the high-ranking members, as they are our ticket in gaining that audience. Yet that sound easier said than done as they hold awfully specific games that you have to bet on. This almost impossible to know when they hold the games and if you meet their requirements. AS it usually takes over twenty years to get into one game.”

“Great,” Erin raised her arms, “So what? We wait until then. By sending men in to gamble their lives away. We killed off all three of our golden tickets! What would you do in this situation!”

Kito coughed before turning to Lily, “Lily is actually the closest to gaining access as I know for a fact you go there once a month.”

Lily smiled, “True, yet then game that is coming is not my favorite and its within the next four months.”

Azoth closed his eyes, “At least we know that Luna will not be able gain their alliance, unless either Morris, Ark or Lovell come back from the dead.”

Erin shudder as she turned to Azoth, “Azoth do you remember what Wolf said?”

Azoth raised his brow, “Not really as I was wanting to kill him with a great deal of passion? Why?”

Erin shifter herself in her seat, “If remember correctly he said something about Lovell coming back?”

Kito stood up, “Wait, Lovell might be back? How is that possible?”

Erin stared at the table, “Wolf said things like tears, and some other things, its been awhile since that day.”

Kito darted his eyes, thinking about something, Azoth furled his brows, “Kito? What is it?”

“Its just a legend but a person can theoretical come back with the tears of loved ones. The method is random, but the tears create a body similar to a deluculous body, or a replica body. But where the soul bond to the body turning tears into solid body after three months.” Azoth went pale as the words sounded similar. “Yet the cause of this is unknown, theories are it’s the love and will as to not let them go. And where there must be over ten to twenty individuals grieving over their death. There are other factors, but I do not know what they are.”

Azoth stared at Kito, “Do you at least know how long the process takes?”

Kito shook his head, “Sorry, if I knew that I would have asked Lily right now to do some calculations?”

Azoth smashed the table, “This is great, we could have Lovell come back from the dead, and then rally up the Spade Dominion to their side, then we would have no leverage over them? We could lose this battle just with that one factor!” Everyone stared at Azoth as her ranted on. “If we don’t get them first then we shall”

“Azoth, calm yourself, it’s a legend. There is no way that Lovell could return. Besides if he did return, he would have shown himself by know. Now let us refocus on the matter at hand.” Kito barked. Shutting Azoth down.

“You have become more assertive after Lovell’s death and becoming a father, now that must be stressful since both you and Crow are part of the council?” Erin teased.

Crow turned to Erin, Enough Erin, we might have a son, but my parents are raising him as he will replace us one day.”

Erin went ot protest. “What’s his name?” Lily asked.

“Melzar but let us finish this conversation. We need to stay on topic.” Kito growled. “We need to find Luna and get rid of her. We all know that”

Kito stopped as Demora entered the room, “What are all of you discussing?”

Azoth felt a chill rundown his body, “We were discussing my failure in the demon kingdom then about how Lovell could be alive.”

Demora scowled at Azoth, “What!?” Everyone winced as Demora stare at them, “What promptly makes you think that is possible? That legend? Don’t be serious? I know for a fact that legend is baseless lies. You will not have to worry, focus on obtaining the Sade Dominion. Nothing else. Do. I. Make. My. Self. Clear!”

“yes your majesty,” They all spoke in unison.

“Good, now get to it. We mustn’t allow the Goddess to win!”
