Red Vessel

Chapter 10: The Plan

Krüger's PoV

506 years ago

The day is finally here, the day when everything that should had been mine a long time ago, will be in my hands... my birthright, my power. The anomally will stop for good and death shall fall on those whom dare going against me, the rightful heir, the real King... the real Red Vessel.

My followers are here, waiting for me to give the speach, they are all wearing red hooded cloaks as a symbol of their mission and their compromise with me. Here I'll say my final words, and they will listen, one last time, in the shadows, and I swear, next time will be in front of the whole world, with my head up high... how it should be. All my years planning to take over my brother's reign have paid off, all these years hiding my true colors will stop, for good, and I'll be the one on the spotlight.

I walk straight to a door that leads to a room full of The Nobility and some of The Royalty whom are loyal to me, I hear my name, they are calling me, they are screaming for me, my subjects, my followers, my people.

- Good evening, my subjects- I said followed by applause- The time to put an end to my brother's softened reing has come- they cheer with my words- We will not allow him to keep the essence away from us, it belongs to you, the Nobles, and to me- I hear how my voice echoes in this underground place, the adrenaline runs thrugh my body making me feel ecstatic- but, in order to accomplish this I need your help, all the help you can give me, and I promise you, as your rightful ruler, to make our kingdom great again!

The Spectator's PoV

Well, we guess it's only a matter of time for Arya to wake up, she needs to learn the truth once and for all, June can not keep delaying this any longer, she has to cancel the spell she put on Arya so we can communicate with her... it is time, thank the cosmos Iris came, the Red Vessel has a duty, and it most be fulfilled, we don't want work tho, we've been on vacation since the day of Kruger's attack, do you even know how does it feel like to keep working even after your death? Well... we do know, that's our duty, our... role? But the bad part is Kruger, even though we are on fault here we guess...

So many boxes in there! Oh right! We remember! Amber is moving out from her parents house to live on her own, what a brave girl... She's layed down on her bed with her headphones on her ears, she listening to music... music nowadays is so weird... suddently someone knocks on her door, but she doesn't hear it due to the loud music.

- AMBER!- yells Nadja, Amber's mother, just to make her daughter jump exhalted and unplug her headphones- I've been knoking like crazy!

- Oh, hey mom! Sorry I was listening to music I couldn't hear you, what's up?

- The man from the "Moving Out" truck agency has called, he says he'll be here in an hour, get ready honey. Hey by the way, did you convinced Arya to be your roomate?- says Nadja to her daughter

- No, I couldn't, she wont come, she says she wont leave her mom all alone, you know, they have no other family- well Amber dear, no other family you know hahahaha, well we guess this was a boring visit, Amber has nothing strage after all, we guess...

- Alright honey, see you downstairs in an hour- and with that she leaves her daughter's room.

Ready to end our tour inside Ambers house, and go back to Arya, we realize some weird behaviour coming from Nadja... she out of the blue started shaking and imediatly opened a drawer and took a key... this is when we are thankful for our cunning... maybe the weird one is not Amber but her mother! "We are going to follow her."

This house is huge, well, this family is very, very welthy, Amber's parents own a tech company, wait, not just "a tech company" but "the" tech company. Their products are number one in the country and they are on the world's top 10 technology companies... all this to justify why Nadja is taking so long to get to the place in where she can use that key... and we must know.

Finally she enters an office/library, she looks even more nervous... she's up to something... She truns left in the 5th row of bookshelves and then she stops in front of one, only to pull one of the books to open a secret door on the floor in front of it. The tunnel is dark, and humid, and Nadja is sweting and shivering, she keeps waking for around two minutes until she reaches a door which she opens with the key she took from the drawer... We can't believe our eyes... ths is... worst than we expected...

- I found her Nadja, I found Rhea, June hid her well, but not enough... in this time, her name is Arya Cross.
