As even this kingdom had proficiency in magic,the royal sorcerers came out of their barracks and prepared the celebration as the sun was beginning to set.
The emperor planned a grand celebration to be held in the royal courtyard.
As the wizards cast their spells,the palace courtyard was transformed into a magical wonderland. Tables laden with delicacies from across the kingdom stood beneath billowing canopies, while musicians played enchanting melodies. The evening sky was ablaze with fireworks, painting vibrant hues against the canvas of the night.
Free stood at the heart of the festivities, wearing royal attire that seemed to mirror the stars above. He was surrounded by newfound the people of his country and well-wishers, all celebrating his journey from a runaway 'monster' to the cherished prince of the brightest star.
The Emperor took the stage, his voice carrying over the crowd as he spoke of unity, hope, and the power of family, no matter where it was found. He looked at Free with pride, a fatherly love evident in his eyes.
As the celebration continued, Free couldn't help but reflect on past experiences including the cult. From the streets to the palace, he had discovered a world of magic, not just in the spells that enchanted the kingdom, but in the love and acceptance he had found.
With the night sky illuminated by stars and fireworks, the celebration was a testament to the kingdom's spirit. A spirit of inclusion, love, and the knowledge that a family could be formed not just by blood, but by the bonds that grew from shared experiences and open hearts.
And as Free danced under the stars, surrounded by laughter and joy, he realized that he had indeed found his place in the world-a prince, yes, but more importantly, a cherished member of a family that embraced him as one of their own.
But the Prince still thought to himself
"Are they even looking for me back home?"
Meanwhile back in Free's home country...
The city was quite,His biological parents worried sick
His father Richard couldn't even work properly,heartsick due to the thought of free being dead by now
His appearance changed drastically,Grey hairs started to grow due to the stress of losing his one and only son,He had dark.bags under his eyes because he couldn't sleep due to worrying too much.Tears filled his eyes each time he saw a picture of his beloved firstborn knowing that he wasn't good enough of a father to keep his own son away from harm.
Free's mother seraphina,was a complete mess after Free's dissapearance, she was always quite ever since,not speaking a word unless it's important.she knows that there's a spell to see the boys whereabouts but it takes a heavy toll on the casters body, leaving one of their eyes blind.she vowed to herself that it shall only be used when all hope is lost
The police scattered the city, searching in every nook and cranny of the city.No stone was left unturned.elite squads were sent out to raid and investigate suspicious places taking anyone as hostage or a possible suspect.
Of all places they found a possible place of interest.
The abandoned laboratory.
The detective and an elite squad if policemen were dispatched to investigate the building.
The place reeked of rotting human flesh,blood was everywhere,a bloody trail of footprints were found leading to the outside and mysteriously vanished
The traced back the steps to inside the building seeing human remains scattered all over, rotting releasing a pungent smell in the air
Detective Gerrard went in deeper to see a hallway with human corpses burnt beyond recognition,blood on the walls,deep claw marks on the thick steel walls of the facility, a portion of the wall melted down to half of its original size,more bodies scattered the place as the smell of rotten flesh started to become even more concentrated.
Infront of the detective was a red door with a flashing light above.He shined a light to see a mark some kind of symbol
An eye with an X as it's pupil.
As he opened the door,it revealed a dark stair case leading downwards,the walls of the facility started to change from a steel plated facility to a bare brick wall
It was getting hotter and the atmosphere started to get thicker.the stairway led to another hallway he walked the hallway to see pentagrams scribbled on every wall.the way was lit up with candles and Infront of the detective stood a statue
A 6m tall statue of the false god Baphomet.
Around its neck was a jar filled with what appeared to be small balls.Detective Gerrard took the jar from the statue shining his flashlight.
"GAGH"
He shouted in shock as he saw the disturbing sight of human eyeballs inside the glass container.
He dropped the jar by accident spreading the eyes everywhere.
He shined his flashlight to the floor only for it to reveal mangled corpses wearing the same dark cloak.sime had messages scratched onto their corps others had their own insides spilling out. But a few were headless,the detective shined his flashlight to reveal heads on pikes some still fresh with blood dripping down
One thing all the bodies had in common was that all of them had their eyes painfully gouged out of their skull.
The fear had gotten to him,his soul had left his body in fear,he felt cold and the series atmosphere brought shivers down his spine.
As he shined his flashlight further down the hallway he saw a cloaked figure.the cloaked figure began to chant in an unknown language
Frightened the detective pulled out his gun as the figure approached him.he tried to shoot but was frozen from fear
He only had one solution left
Running
He ran as fast as he could, through the bodies,up the staircase,he ran until he couldn't escaping the facility and was on his knees panting of exhaustion.
"This is a threat even we aren't prepared to deal with"
Said the detective
In shock he called all units to rally back to the department.
Putting the search on a temporary hold
