The Broken Prince - Chapter 109

“The others are nearing, let us go.” I said and Leo then made the bubble blend into the surrounding and started to move at high speed. We were all on the floor of the bubble and was holding on to each other as we would be slammed to the back of it if we didn’t do so.

“The others are about to enter as we are leaving perimeter both in three, two and one!”

“Now Pearl!” I commanded as soon as Delvin finished saying his sentence, despite being far away, I could vividly sea that the huge bubble of crystal blue water fall into the ground washing everything away.Then it happened. A huge explosion occurred and a huge spark emitted from the place. They have stepped inside the deathtrap.Then came the howling winds and soon, the sky blackened as the air circulated so fast that it made its own physical churning appearance and then touched the ground.

More explosion happened and it was to my amazement as to how the tornado became a tornado of fire as the fire of the mini volcano made by Delvin erupted sending huge chunks of hot and molten rocks, setting the surrounding ablaze. Trees were being grabbed out from their deepest root as the tornado wrecked its havoc and were burning at the same time as the place got engulfed in hell like fire. It then soon stopped and then the exploding and poisonous arrows downed on them..

Shouldn’t have headed our way. I thought as I smirked wickedly. I was confident that we had escaped what was about to come upon us but then a huge fireball came crashing down towards us and I feared that we were just too late to notice it and before we knew it, we were already thrown back to the ground with our clothes burning.

My head was spinning and my visions was still blurry. I could feel the fire trying to attach itself to my skin but Pearl was quick to act and splashed water all over us. With everything still a fuzz, I got to my feet and then it struck me that we were figured out by Hade because where would that ball of fire come from. My hands then started to tremble as my heart palpitated.

From the distance, I saw four figures walking towards us, all of which their clothing were burnt and were partly shredded to pieces. I wanted to speak and say that we need to escape but as I looked back, my heart shattered into pieces as I only saw Pearl being the only one that is conscious. Vexxanna, Delvin and Leo were lying on the ground motionless. They were bleeding and their skin were red from the fire. Their flesh were then very revealed due to the fire tearing their skin.

I got down on my knee and wanted to touch them and wake them up and ask them if they were okay but I wasn’t able to. I did not know what to do. Pearl was crying and was tending to them at the same time while I was being a mess. Blood were seeping to the ground and I was worried that they might die. I looked over to Pearl who was still tending to the others.

“Pearl!” I ran immediately towards her. She looked very torn and was not in reality as I shook her vigorously.

“Pearl! We need to go. We shouldn’t be caught!” I spoke sounding so selfish. Pearl looked at me with wide eyes before speaking.

“But your majesty! We dare leave them behind with them being like this!? What if they die your majesty!? How can you say that so easily! They are our friends, they are my friends!” A pang of guilt struck within the depths of my heart as I know how she’s really feeling but we all know that at some point, we would sacrifice someone for us to move forward but never did I expect that we would loose most of the team in onle blow.

“Pearl! Of course I know that but we talked about this! If they were awake they would tell us to go! Pearl we need to go! Just think about it like this okay! If we win, it would be the biggest medicine we can give to them!” I spoke but Pearl still retaliated. She stood up and faced me with tears falling from her eyes.

“Your majesty! With all due respect! How will we be able to win when it’s just the two of us and you don’t even have your powers and even if I have mine, they are not up to par with the majesties!” I felt a stab pierce through my chest as she said those words. I was hurt because she was not like this when we trained. We knew and agreed that we must win no matter what the cost but she now seems to have forgotten that.

“Pearl! Just trust me an cooperate for our sake!” I exclaimed but she shook her head. I was very frazzled at the moment as to how she was acting.

“I- I won’t leave them your majesty! If you chose to go and escape, then I will try my best to hold them back with all that I can.” She spoke as she knelled back down to where the others were. I looked at her then back to where the enemies where. They were getting very close and I had to make my choice.

“Pearl, I’m sorry.” I spoke and hugged her tight. She nodded and smiled through her tears as she hugged me back.

“Try your best to win this your majesty. Even if I don’t have hope for me and them, I still have a faint light of tomorrow for you. Now go!” She said and released me from the embrace. I nodded and tried so hard not to cry before leaving them.

With every step further, my heart were struck by arrows as my feet felt like thy were stepping thorns but I must go and win this thing even if I’m alone. I need to. I kept running and running as I cried with the air hitting my face.

I heard Pearl screamed and once I looked back, a huge wave appeared to where I left them. The others has gotten to where she was. I was hoping slightly that she will take them out but as soon as soon as the wave started to move, a huge boulder which was engulfed in thorns that was in fire came down upon them. I the heard a huge bang and then above me flashed the faces of my teammates. I ran even faster and got into the woods. My feet was hurting, my leg was straining and I wanted to stop running and just fall to the ground but I should not.

“Alexander!” I heard a familiar voice echo throughout the whole arena. Four trails then started to blaze and head towards my direction. I ran even faster and looked for a place to hide. The ground was now starting to tremble and I didn’t know what was happening until the ground cracked. I stopped at where I was and soon recognized the mechanism of the dome. We are now changing the environment and to my utmost dismay, the new terrain did not benefit me the most. As soon as the shaking stopped and the dust dissipated, revealed in front of me were mountains which had very small moving area and high cliffs. I was near a cliff and was about to turn around when I saw that there were no platforms to move at. I was about to climb down the cliffs and find a hidden spot or even a cave at best when someone landed behind me.

My hands clenched into balls as I felt four presence behind me. I turned around slowly and came face to face with the other heirs. They all looked at me with the same gaze. Dianne looked at me and spoke.

“Alexander, just as you have said, this is all competition and nothing personal.” Now my words came back to prey on me.

“You did quite the theatrics back there I admit.” Kaval looked at me and spoke. Despite the situation, I felt a sigh of relief to see that he was okay but I also wanted to say that I hoped he passed out until at the end of the game.

“Well, looks like we are taking you out first Alexander, Prince of the Sea. How pathetic. Quite embarrassing no? All those huge words back there and now you act like a mouse chased by a feisty cat. The clownery of your act is commendable I admit.” Hade spoke. I glared at him and grabbed my arrow and aimed it at them.

“Oh come on, you seriously can’t take us out with that. Here let me show you how you should take one of us out.” Kaval spoke before I felt a force lift me up above high ground before I was slammed back to the ground on my chest. The impact made me cough out blood as I felt a strike of pain on my chest. Might be a bone.

“Hurts like fuck no?” Kaval spoke with mockery.
