The King of The Lost Kingdom: The Beginning

Chapter VIII: The Start of Being Noche of Noche

After negotiations between the newly integrated kingdom and the eerie organization called "Cult of Keios" concluded, the results were quite a shock- especially for Noche and his subordinates.

"It is... Odd, don't you think, nochwimppere?", as an owl, Clair whispered unto Noche in his flying cloud.

"Indeed, it is, master.", Noche looked at the people below him, "But we must not fret, Veronica needs to be coronated as soon as possible. "Yngoc hasn't revealed himself to us either."

Clair descended from the heights and flew closer to Desce in the front line, "Desce, assist Quin and Veronica to the Enoch's throne."

"Yes, your wiseness.", Desce agreed.

Knowing Desce's multispatial abilities, he delivered his comrades to the cave with ease. As he was about to deliver them, the two aristocrats that supported the movement carried two wooden chests.

"What are these for?", asked Desce.

"Porthos, the jester, told us that Noche would like gold and precious stones."

Thinking that Yngoc, Onorato's Enoch, did not appear, Noche thought that he may not be interested in reclaiming the western part. More for him, as he thought.

Noche descended from the skies and arrived diligently on his throne. With a hole above the cave, he has no choice but to destroy every remaining stone that makes it up, except his throne.

"What- are you doing?", Clair, who flew with Noche, asked.

"Refurnishing, my Master.", replied Noche as he rode his personal cloud in low elevations.

With his might and magic, he elevated his throne a couple of meters from the ground. Feeling the gush of power he received when the religious freedom of people made them worship him even more, he had confidence in his overall power. 

He terraformed the ground of the broken cave so that it would be a couple of feet higher. In his throne, which was elevated 2 meters more, he carved designs that depicted lions and tigers. He then resumed embedding a name below it, "Noche the Enoch."

On the right side of the throne, from stone, he created another throne, smaller, so that it wouldn't surpass his. He carved floral designs and the name "Monarch" below them.

On the left side, he formed additional two thrones, a foot smaller than the monarch's seat. He carved the image of seas and lands in those seats and under those, he carved the name "Council."

After he finished furnishing and polishing the throne, Desce, Veronica, and Quin, arrived at the scene and bowed before him.

"This will be our throne.", said Noche as he looked at his subordinates, "The cave is long gone as we are done hiding. Our sovereignty is absolute."

"My Lord, so you have secured a throne, for us too?", Desce looked at Noche as he touched Quin.

"Indeed, the Monarch.", Noche looked at Veronica, "Will have a hard time without those who treat her as their liege."

"Understood, my Lord."

"If you could take a couple of meters back...", said Noche.

The three quickly took a step back.

"Now then, give me all a piece of your hair.", Noche added as he approached them floating in his cloud in low altitude.

Without hesitation, they cut a piece of their hair and handed them to their Lord. "Here, my Lord."

As Noche held onto the hairs, his hand glowed, and the ground shook.

"What is happening?", Clair flew as soon as he descended to the ground.
