The Cauldron, A Desendants story

Prologue

The Horned king put a bony finger to the leathery skin on his chin. His Minions stood silently at the bottom of his crumbled throne. They had just gave him the news of the barrier of the isle of the lost being broken. The yellow skin on his skull like head contorted into a horrifying smile and his eyes flashed more red than usual. He never smiled. The minions stood terrified of what would happen next. The chamber that they stood in was usually dark and you could barely see the black figure that sat on the deformed throne but today the light streamed through the shattered windows and one could see the king's death head perfectly. The smile faded. A cold draft came to the minions and froze them in place. They were petrified. The Horned King's temper was something to be reckoned with. His last outburst had resulted in the death of a minion and that was considered a small outburst.

"YOU FOOLS" He screamed. His voice sounded like nails on a chalk bord. "YOU THINK I DON'T KNOW THAT ALREADY? WHAT DO YOU TAKE ME AS? AN IDIOT?"

The minions stood back in fear of loosing their lives. The Horned King glides down the steps in front of his throne. 

"Well?" He asked. 

There was a long moment of silence before a brave minion stepped forward. The Horned King was impressed and angered by the courageousness of this minion.

"We beg your pardon, We just thought you would like to know." The minion said with a hint of defiance in his voice.

The Horned King lashed out with a skeletal arm and grabbed the minion by the neck. His grip secured around the minions neck. The minion gasped for air and kicked at the Horned King. The minions face turned blue as the Horned King laughed murderously which made the other minions flinch. The minion's body dropped to the floor as the Horned King had crushed his neck.

"Bring me the son of Hades, I have a cauldron to retrieve." The Horned King said as he sat back on his throne. "And can we get some curtains in here I hate the light."

The Minions scrambled out of the Horned King's throne room to find the son of Hades.
