Quest Of Battle

Chapter 36

"Leave that to me."She replied.

"Tame Zenith. At least you all were once lovers. And leave Ezra to me."

"But...what are you going to do to him?"

"I will lure him. At least his sister is here and I know he will do anything to get her,even if he has to side with me."

"And then....."

"When all of Zenith's friends betray him,I will rule over Getra and the realm."He turned."Find her daughter for me."

"And who could that be?"She folded her arms.

"Leila. And... bring Kayla too. I think they might be siblings."

"They can be in the palace."

"That's great."He smirked."Then do that."

She vanished from the room, leaving Edgar and Susan in the room.

"Get ready Zenith. Your reign there,is numbered."

After a long day's work, Leila laid on her bed, sleeping as the breeze blew across the room.

The visions if her father's death started to appear in her head.

"No....n...n...no...."
The image of the one who had killed her father was becoming clearer but she could not endure it so she snapped her eyes opened.

"What the...."

Quickly,she stood up and went.

"Zenith. Edgar can come anytime."Leinali said."We must protect Leila especially and act quickly."

"I agree."He responded.

"But how about her sister?"Vail asked."What should we do?"

"She will know what to do."She said."Right now Leila is Edgar's target."

Zenith, without saying a word,went out.

As Leila walked,the voice of a male began to ring in her head.
The voice started to call her name in quite a calm but scary tone.

She held the wall,for support but her legs gave up instead.

Her head throbbed in pain causing her to hold it.

"No Leila. It shall be alright."She told herself.

But it kept shouting her name repeatedly.

She screamed in pain and as it got even louder, Zenith came to her aid.

"Leila."He said and got her up."Are you alright?"

"Yes. Thank you."She replied.

"But what was that? I mean your head."

"I......I heard someone calling me but in the most scariest way."

"Was it the voice of a male?"

She nodded in agreement.

"Come. Let's go."

Astha walked down the hallway admiring the beauty of the palace when she bumped into Vail.

"I...I'm sorry."She said."It wasn't my intention. I didn't mean to..."

"Don't worry."He smiled."Astha right?"

"Yeah."She replied as she tuckled her hair.

"The girl,the brown one...."

"That...that's Leila."

"No. The other one. The aggressive one."

"Oh. It's Kayla."She said."She's her younger sister and she's not aggressive. She only talks like that."

He giggled."She's really something. Is she?"

"Yep."She paused."Well I'm going."

"Where?"He asked and she gave him a look."You look lost."

"Who me? Naaa. It's my first day here that's why."

"I'll show you. Come."He said and held her hand.
