Restoration

The Life of Lionel(Part 1:The beginning)

THIS TOOK PLACE IN SILVER CITY IN A TIME NOT SO LONG AGO
Silver city was a region in the Glober verse where both the black and silver fraternity lived in co existence before the war between two clans.
****************************
The great serpent spat flaming ciders on the castle causing it to burn.
"Doomed!Were doomed!" A soldier screamed, running around in the midst of commotion and panic.
"Halt,ye dragon" A high-pitched masculine voice rang out.
"Knight Lionel!" The soldiers shouted in happiness.
"Release the Clamp!" Lionel shouted and a metal shaped mouth with sharp teeth shot out from it's chains and clamped on the dragon's snout.
"Release the Death Arrow!"Lionel screamed.
A twirling,curling arrow shot through the air and hit the dragon's neck.
The dragon let out a blood curling cry and dropped,turning back into a human.
"Another war saved by King Lionel" The Chief Commander said,his armour shining in the suns light.
"All in a days work,Xavier, and I'm not the king yet.
Father has a lot of years left"Lionel said, chuckling.
A tiny,short creature dressed in rags called a Blurder,a servant of the Royal family dashed through the crowds of knights and kneeled at Lionel's feet" My liege,My liege,I have some bad news "
"How could this happen?!" Lionel screamed.
"Nothing is impossible under the sun,my lord,its just..." The castle Butler said,holding a plate with a cup.
"Its just what,tell me,mallard"Lionel shouted, causing the expressionless butler to fall and smash the cup in the process.
Lionel took a glance at the floor where he saw drops of blood in a trail leading to the bathroom.
He ignored the wincing, bleeding Butler because a part of broken glass pierced his leg.
Lionel walked to the bathroom to see a bloody knife laying on the sink.
" What happened here?"Lionel whispered, grabbing the knife.
He walked out of the bathroom and spared a glance at the bleeding Butler.
"You should really patch that up" Lionel said to the Butler.
Lionel reached the part of the castle that perform science.
"Hello, Meyer,I need you to examine this knife" Lionel said,handing him the knife.
"Sorry, my liege, but we don't have the equipment to carry out any operation"
"Lionel, I can tell you who killed the King" A smooth voice that defined the word trouble said from a distance.
"Show yourself" Lionel replied.
The figure slowly came out of the shadows and Lionel recognized the person with every breath he took.
The person was no other than
"Hosea" Lionel slowly uttered, jaw dropped.
"Yes, Lionel," Hosea said.
"How could you possibly know what happened about my father's death?"
Hosea walked over to Lionel and placed a hand on his shoulder "Lionel,its hard to explain this,I killed your father"
The words slowly hit Lionel one by one till the last four words Lionel heard jammed him hard.
I killed your father.
Lionel pulled him by the collar and snarled into his ear"You did what?"
"Yes,I did and what will you do,tell the guards you dare not!"
Lionel knew what Hosea would do to him if he dared tell, he would wipe out everyone he knew and loved.
Just like what happened to his mother when he told on Hosea about when he destroyed the Royal cake with his experiment.
He went as far as to kill his mother just for a small incident.
"OK,OK ,but why?I don't want to be a king at least not yet.
I'm not ready" Lionel whispered, scanning the surroundings for any eavesdropper.
"I want you to be king now because I'm tired if working here,science is not for me,yet I have no choice after you ruined my chance at knighthood" Hosea snarled.
Lionel remembered the incident that made Hosea to lose his spot at the top of the table.
"Hosea, Lionel,you two are my top men,today is the eradication exam,i am sure you will both pass it,but good luck" Commander Xavier said,then turned to leave but"But,Sir, why do you wish us luck?"Hosea asked.
Xavier smirked but it didn't last.
"Because, you'll need it"
Suddenly, an alarm sounded and the ground levitated and the nine other contestant fell onto their faces.
"Go!" Xavier shouted "Whoever rings the bell first wins"
"Run where?there is no where to run to" Hosea complained.
"I know where to go, down" Lionel replied.
"Down, are you crazy?"
Lionel ignored him and dragged his hand as they dropped the long distance and falling on their feet at least some of them.
"Lionel,are you nuts?"
Lionel took to his heels to a pit and a rope tied to a wooden plank standing firmly by the side connected to a bell.
"Come on ,Hosea,let's ring that bell" Lionel dashed to the opening if the pit and leaped to the rope and grabbed it.
Hosea ran to the pit but when he saw what was in it he stopped.
"Lionel!"
"What?" Lionel replied, making his way to the bell.
"This pit is filled with vipers"
"So?"
"So, come help me"
Lionel contemplated the situation, he was so close to the bell.
He would be a knight.
He couldn't risk it.
"Lionel!"
Lionel took the bell and rang it.
Hosea tried to jump but didn't make it and fell into the pit if ravenous, hungry,vipers.
That was how he got that dreadful scar by his left eye.
"Come on,Li,become king of Silver city, rule the land" Hosea said.
"Fine" Lionel said,Hosea chuckles "You hear that everyone, Lionel's becoming king,Hoozah!"
Hours later
"We are here to honour the life of our king,Azariah,Son of Langer,and to lay his body to rest though we were told by his son to cease the search of the killer,we will not stop searching for his killer.
May his soul eternally rest in peace" The coffin made scrapping sounds as it was being laid into the ground.
There were tears but Lionel just stood there staring.
Staring for no reason at all.
