The air is chill and eerie and filled with ice cold fog. The fog is thick that you could hardly see anything. Luckily for the void knights,their peripheral vision allows them to move in the darkness without getting hurt.

The hooves of horses are clomping loudly as they drag wagons with people imprisoned in cages;the iron of the cage is black with purple dust like glowing particles on the cages.

Some void knights ride on the horses that drag the wagons,some walk with tall spears with abnormal shaped iron tips; they act as bodyguards. And for extra security, purple-black stingray like creatures soar up in the sky...ready to devour any potential threats.

The imprisoned people are in burnt clothes,some have burnt wings,and others are smudged with black smoke on their faces,of their hair is burnt.

Who are this people? And where did they come from?

The void knights get to an opening of a cave that looks like a jaguar opening it's mouth.The inside is dark and very eerie. The hearts of the imprisoned starts beating fast..they know fully well what their about to meet on the other side of the cave.

It's either two to two,or three to three people in a cage. But there's one particular prisoner who's in chains. He's drained and almost lifeless. His chains are heavy and made of rare iron. His clothes are burnt, revealing his bare, naked body. His hair is rough and black ash is smudged on his face,his well structured chest... all over his muscled body.

Two void knights stand in front of them...they act as an escort.

They walk through the opening of the cave and purple barrier appears. After the first two get in,the rest go through. As the imprisoned go through,they feel a dreadful vibration through their bodies. Passing the barrier fills them with a little darkness that stairs up negative feelings in them.

The road of the cave is rocky,the walls are made of black-purple sharp crystals.

They walk deeper into the cave and walk down an inclined road. Heading down was dark,but they soon,the light starts to build and an underground kingdom.

The buildings lool like ant hills and their made of crystals,the sky is dark and the moon is purple. Purple dragons and stingrays soar in the air and every single thing is black-purple... including the people.

The knights walk further in this hidden,never before heard of kingdom. As they walk down the windy streets they receive stares and nasty looks. Some hiss,some back away in fear,some lick their thin slender lips with lust for their flesh in their eyes.

On the path the knights are walking lies the towering palace made of black and purple interlock stones.

There's a big gate in front of them and two knights in front. The knights in front of the gate step aside and the gate opens. They walk on a broad bridge that leads to the main palace itself.

The knight stops Infront of the palace and unloads the prisoners. That one particular prisoner Is dragged down from his cage and so are the rest....chains around his neck,his hands and legs.

The big castle door opens, revealing a long purple carpet that leads to the throne. The walls of the castle are made of black purple marbles. There's a big round chandelier giving purple light to the throne room.

There's no one except for the mysterious figure on the throne. This king doesn't have slaves nor bodyguards..he knows he is sovereign every single thing that comes his way.

A knight jogs to the king. He kneels and the king gestures for him to stand up. The knight speaks in an unknown language. He points to the special naked prisoner. The king shifts his gaze to the prisoner...his purple eyes looking cold and his facial expression stern.

He looks back at the knight who continues to explain to him about the prisoners he's captured.

The king strokes his chin... thinking deeply.

The knight motions for the prisoners to be dragged closer. The special prisoner is in front of every other prisoner.

The king tilts his head and sizes him up. His purple hunter shaped eyes darken,his jaw muscles stiffens and his hands in a ball of fist and resting his hands on his thrones arm rest.

He exhales and softens his muscles. His smooth rectangular chiseled 45 year old face looks a little more friendly and a little accommodating.

" Welcome Khalerians!," he said...his voice gruff and loud...it echoes of the castle walls." To be honest I forgot you people even existed" he admits. " But,I guess things happen for a reason," he said.

He looks at the special prisoner.

" Ned," he calls. " It's been quite long." he says.

" But I won't bore you with long any long talk. Where's he?" He asked with a serious look.

Ned's panting....he fights his eyes from closing.

" You're looking at him!"he asks.

The king let's out a low chuckle.

" I'm not a man who likes the cat and mouse game. I have been limited and limited times without number because of the so called one destined to stop me..." He says with a serious cold face. " My knight tells me there was an individual who he saw with the legacy's book and uh...used the power of light"

In his weakness...Ned laughs.." Your knight saw wrong," Ned said. " He hasn't been found," Ned said.

" Really?"

Ned doesn't answer.

" Because the other day...I received a report that one of my warriors got abducted by a boy,a knight and a weird looking fire horse with wings."

Ned swallows.

" I've known you since we were little Ned...I know when you lie." The void said.

Ned swallows again.

" And you know that I don't like when things are taking too long. So,to make things easier and less painless for you and your people...I would suggest you started talking." The void threatened.

" Over my dead body!," Ned stood strong.

" Very well then," The void said. " Take all of them to the dungeon..their powers will be taken later." The void instructs.

The knights dragged them across the floor to the dungeon... where their powers will be taken and where they'll be likely killed...
