The next day, the whole kingdom was lively due to the sudden announcements of an incoming Zota. Royalties from other part of the planet came to witness the greatest Zota in history.
*knocks*
“Young Lord!”
*knocks*
“Zompire!” a feminine voice cake our from behind Zompire’s bedroom door.
“Pardon the intrusion but I’m coming in” the voice said and a young lady with long red hair and red eyes walks into the room. She was wearing a long black dress.
“Still the heavy sleeper I see” she says as she walks over to his bed flicking his forehead and calling his name.
“State your name and business!” a voice says from behind her with a dagger to her neck.
Shocked, all she could do was stutter in fear. “I- I'm- I'm...”
“Gotcha!”
The lady turns around to see a half naked Zompire standing with a towel around his waist and another in his right hand drying off the water dripping from his hair.
“Wait, if you’re here, then who’s that on the bed?” she asks pointing to an empty bed.
“huh? Where'd he...”
“you mean me?” a familiar voice whispers to her with his face close to her ear.
Just as she was about to yell, the person behind her covered her mouth with his hand.
“Relax Princess” Zompire laughs “It's just a new spell I learnt some time ago” he adds and the figure releases her.
“it’s more like a dummy copy of myself”
“Don't do that next time!” the lady yells “you nearly gave me a heart attack” she adds turning to the dummy who looked exactly like Zompire.
“But the dummy looks exactly like you” she says examining the dummy.
“Tch! Who’re you calling a dummy? Scary cat!” the dummy hisses as he walks sits on the bed.
“~and he's got an attitude worse than yours”
“Did you need a training partner so badly that you created a copy of yourself?” she asks handing Zompire a change of clothes that were lying on the bed.
“you know Zel, for a princess, you ask the weirdest questions” he says and flicks her forehead.
“Ouch! Then why? This thing’s got an attitude for someone created exactly like you” she says and sticks her tongue out at the dummy.
Pissed at her response, the dummy said “can I punch her?” and grins at Zel.
“Enough you two” Zompire sighs shaking his head in disappointment.
Zel pouts then walks over to a chair by the dresser and sits.
“Zompire 2 was created to be the exact opposite of me so I guess that explains his attitude” Zompire says with his hand on his jaw as if thinking about something.
“~please! The opposite of you should be some fairytale prince” Zel scoffs “but that right there is the complete version of you!” she adds pointing at Zompire 2.
Zompire laughs at her statement while trying to calm the angry looking copy by his side.
“This guy, will be taking my place temporarily in the Zota while I try to figure out my old man's technique.” Zompire says with a slight smile.
“But the techniques of royalty are said to be written in the historical scriptures of fallen rulers” Zel says making Zompire and Zompire 2 slams their head in disappointment.
“Now I get why my double called you a dummy” Zompire sighs as he stands up “I’ve spent three months going through the historical scriptures but when I arrived at my dad’s section, it was blank” he adds.
“It was more like nobody knows the nature of my dad’s power or he doesn’t want it written in the scriptures yet” Zompire 2 says.
“But why?” Zel asks with a confused look on her face “It’s not like knowing his power could put him at a disadvantage right?” she adds.
“I doubt it” Zompire 2 says
“All I know is that my he's never lost a Zota and whenever I asked anyone who was present on last one, they all don’t seem to remember.” Zompire says with his hand on his chin.
“Well, enough about that, let's focus on the present” Zel says smiling “Do you think you can win?” she adds with a serious look on her face.
“Maybe”
“My mother sent me to convince you to call off the Zota” she walks to the door “but if you still want to go skiing with it, I won't stop you”
“I just need to play my cards right” Zompire responds with a smile “Tell your mom I said hi and she shouldn't worry about me” he adds waking to her.
Zel walks out of the room and closes the door behind her.
“Are you okay with that?” Zompire 2 asks
“It's for the best”
*Zel's POV*
I walk out of the room smiling back at him as he waves trying to hold back my emotions. Was it anger or sadness, that I can't say. But all I know is that I don't want him attending this Zota.
“~Well, at least the dummy will be the one getting the beating for him” I try to cheer myself up.
“Is the Young Lord in?” a guard approaches me from behind startling me.
“Y- Y- Yes”
*knock* *knock* *knock*
“Young Lord! It's the Royal Guard!” The guard knocks at Zompire's room door “Please get ready for the Zota” he adds and faces me gesturing to me to follow him.
“This way Princess, your mother is waiting”
