Throne of Giants

Hurry on!

I haven't spoken to Lucifer in a week.I avoided him even in bed,I didnt let him touch me again.He came with many bitches in the castle and I could hear them screaming in pain.Most of them died,and some of them are traumatised now.
I also know nothing about my friends,about Wyatt,Delias,what happened to Kay and Lya?Did they find out that they're the kids of King of the Elves from Above?Did they release them?I don't know..I tried to save them many times,but Lucifer always caught me and threw me on the bed and then left.He was not intrested in me anymore,but it's not that,maybe he just wanted me to think that,but he is still looking at me with regret in his eyes and sadness.He said after a month,so if I'm not the one he's looking for,he will die..in three weeks.Why am I hoping that I'm the one?Maybe empathy?I don't want him to die because I saw something in him?No,I can't see something,he is just a fucking beast that wants to kill me,but first humilliates me and fucks me for his damn pleasure..but when I see him with all those women here,I'm just..sad.
-Again lost in thoughts my queen?asks Smiler.
-Yeah..
-Well,you shoudn't,you have to get you and your friends out of here after this meeting.
-Oh yeah,right..the meeting.Do you know anything about it?
-No,but when Lucifer thinks about it he smiles.
-And how do you know that?I ask him raising my right eyebrow.
-Well my queen,don't forget that I'm the Master of Shadows,his shadow is easy to feel and detect,it's imense and its aura is scaring me,full of power,death,blood ..
-Okay,okay I understood.Anything else?
-Ok so,my queen,Lucifer wants to test you,at least that's what I heard.
-But you said you..
-Sh sh sh shh..
-But..
-Do you want to hear it or not?I can vanish any second,I also risk my life here,I'm just here because of your grandpa.
-Oh God,fine,I'll shut up.I'm just nervous.
-Ok so,my queen,at this meeting there will be kings from other kingdoms.You have to be brave and confront them.
-Are they going to do something?
-I don't know,at least Lucifer sayd something about it,about confrontation,power..
-Wait,wait,wait,wait,me?Confronting other kings?
-Well,kinda,he laughs.He is intrested in you,Kira.He wants to see if you are worthy of Kairos's powers by protecting your kingdom.
-And how do you know that?
-Eh,it's just a probability.
-What?!
-Okay,need to go now,good luck your majesty.
-But Smiler..Fuck.
Lucifer didn't even come to announce me this morning,Nayla came.But what confrontation?Are the others looking for something?Well,there's a chance.Yes!That's it!
Maybe because I'm still new in this fucked up politics.They want something from me,something that my kingdom has.I'm just wondering..who will dare to manipulate me.It's so annoying that Lucifer is going to be there too.Wait,they know I'm here,but do they really know?Maybe it's a surprise,oh God so many questions and I can't even answer to half of'em.If Smiler vanished it means that Lucifer is close.
Nobody is on these halls.I'm heading to the throne room.Nayla said that the others will wait for me there.But my father..is he there too?It cannot be,he is a prince now,not a king.But why would Lucifer be intrested in my skills of protecting my home?
As I enter the room I see Lucifer's tall figure staying at the head of the table and the figures of the other kings.I see no queen here,just me,I will protect my people,the people is my kingdom,they're my home.
They all stand up,look at me and bow their heads to show their respect to me,the new queen.
-Kira,stay next to me,says Lucifer offering me the seat on his right.
-It's no need King Lucifer,I will stay on other seat,there are plenty here,I say heading to the other head of the table.
-Okay,as you wish..Queen,he grins.
There are so many kings here,some of them I don't even recognize,are they from farther kingdoms?Who are they?We all seat down but Lucifer is still on his feet waiting to get my attention.
-Oh,that's not good,says a passing voice.
-Smiler?
-Hm-hm!Your majesties,I gathered you here because the giants are starting to head our continent.
-What?
-Not possible,whispers somebody.
-But Kairos killed them all.
-As you already know,Kingdom of Below it's a safe place,no giant enters here,they hate fire,and my men are just enough to kill them all.
-So..you say that we need your help.
-Oh,King Isey but who said that?Well,I can kill them with one blow,but I'm just too lazy to help you,and for what?For some little humans?No,my elves are more important.
-Those are not elves!Those are demons!
-Shh..whispers Lucifer in one of the men's ear,scaring him.Do not intrerupt me,or your little wife will be raped by me and your son...hm,hm,he laughs,a son right?Well..I have many,many plans for him,well,he is the future king isn't it?he laughs again.
-Lucifer,I growl.
-The elves will help us,comes one of them with an ideea.We will offer them money,women,wealth.They can save us.
-Oh really?But the elves hate humans and don't forget Ulis,I'm also their king.They will never dare to make even the smallest move without my permission.
Lucifer is pure evil.He controls everything..the kings are coming with more ideas but he just kills them all,leaving them with no protection in front of the giants.
-We will fight togheter.
-Oh,a smart one,he licks his lips as waiting for a meal,and how do you think you can kill those giants?Hm?Your arms are not enough for a tough skin.You cannot even scratch them so in the end..they will trample you like ants.
-We can force the elves,there are many people.
-Are you sure?We all know that they control the elements of the earth,do you control something?
-We have swords,spears,shields..
-Yeah,and they armor,power and cleverness.You need my help little humans..but there is one way you can kill them and save your filthy world from above.
They're all intrigued and look at him with hope in their eyes.Lucifer is looking at me with a devilish smile.
-Her..
-Kairos's niece..they whisper.
-Kairos's blood is in her veins and his powers are all hers,but there is one small problem..she has not awoken yet.
-What?But that's..
-How is she going to help us??
-His niece?!She should've already handle them.
-Lucifer..I growl again,louder this time.
-What,he asks putting both of his hands on the table and looking at me with a killer look.
-What is this?
-Well,you need some motivation,so..whoever captures you first..can save their kingdom,even though you are just an empty shell now.
-So,you propose them to capture me?You want our kingdoms to start a war?!I say standing up from the table.Whoever will try,I will make sure that the head of that person will be at my feet!
-Enough!he growls.
-This is between me and you!It's not my fault that I didn't consider your advances.Oh,are you sad little beast?Did I hit a nerve?
-Grr...
-Queen Kira,I also want to propose something to you,says a king that I know,his name is Lychan.If your majesty is kind enough to listen.
-I can hear you,even if I'm not looking at you.
It's a wealthy king,he rules over a small kingdom,but he takes all the money that his people have and the taxes are paid only by the rich ones.He is a greedy man that my grandpa hated.My father also told me when I was little,that his proposes towards our kingdom are the most stupid ones that he ever heard of.
-Well,as an old king,you should have respect towards me and my kingdom,so please new queen look at me.
-Well,King Lychan,for me respect is earned.Tell me what you propose your majesty,I can hear you.
-Hm..he is annoyed about my behavior and because I look down on him,well,how can I say my queen,you have a wealthy land.Mountains,plains, fertile soil just good to plant seeds and also the mountains are full of gold and rare metals like rubins,emeralds and even diamonds.
-Just go straight to the subject,I say,still looking in Lucifer's eyes.
-So I propose to you..your majesty,that if you give us a part of your land,in return I will give you half of my riches,I will also send ten thousands of soldiers for your kindness and my kingdom will fight the giants side by side with yours.
-Hm,grins Lucifer.
-My kingdom is just enough to protect itself from giants and we are also capable of mining in the mountains for riches.I have enough people who will fight with me against the giants and enough gold for each one of them.My answer is no.
His propose is just fucked up.I have enough people in my kingdom,enough brave and powerful men that will fight for their home.And my land is very precious,he doesn't wants my land to cultivate cereals,or to help his people,he wants it just for his own good and wants to get richer.
-Queen Kira I offered you even..
-I don't need your people,I don't need anything from you,and I already said that my answer is ,,No".
He stands up from his chair disturbing the others and looking at me angrily.
-My kings..he says looking at the others,my queen,he says looking at me,for me this meeting is over,after this he storms of the room.
-Hm,that was better than I expected,says his shadow,I know it's Smiler.
-Oh,fuck off,I whisper.
-What?I'm trying to help,he vanishes.
-Queen Kira,your grandfather saved all of us a hundred years ago.We put all of our trust in you,you will save us again,I know your majesty can do it,but please hurry up,the giants invades our lands,you're our only hope.
-She will never be like Kairos,I am not going to fight with a girl,with all respect your majesty,I'll also leave,says an old king.
-I want all of you to leave now,growls Lucifer.
They're scared of him.Lucifer is leading them through fear and nobody dares to challenge him,after all,this is his land.But I see no other king more powerful than him and more capable of destruction and rivers of blood.
-What do you want Lucifer?I growl at him.
-You wanted to kill that bastard.
-Why did you bring them here,hm?Just for your own enjoyment?
-Exactly.
-I should've expected that from you.
-You are too young for me.
-What?What the hell was with that affirmation?
He approaches,he smells like death and it's not only him,the whole room smells like despair,like fucking Hell.
-Well,you are only twenty one and I'm thirty-two,eleven years of difference.So when you were playing with your little human friends and laughing and smiling,I had to make harsh decisions even though I was young.
-You say that as if you are like one hundred years old.
-Maybe I am.And I thought that this meeting would've been funnier,but now it ended and none of them died,ugh,such a waste of time and I even gathered them here,I could've just go and talk to them by myself,it would've been easier.
-Can I go now?
-No.
-And may I ask WHY?I shout.
-Because I'm looking forward to spend more time with you,he grins.
-Ugh just die.
-Kill me then.
-And how am I supposed to do that?
-They will come for you.
-Great,now you change the subject.
-I'm serious.
-I want to see my friends.
-No,the look in his eyes changed.
-Lucifer,you don't need them,and I still don't know why are you keeping me here.You could kill me,why?
-Don't forget about our fight one week ago,what I told you and that you refused to listen.
-Yeah and when I see you with those women I feel like one of them.Just stop,I regret everything that happened that night,now I want to see my friends,I want to find Ruth and save my kingdom.
-You do not need Ruth for this.
-I need the weapons that he creates.Lucifer..I hate this,I hate what I'm about to say,what do you want in return?I ask closing my eyes as if waiting for something,yes,I'm waiting for his response.
-For what?
-For letting me and my friends go.
-You are not ready.
-I am,I can prove you!Just please..
-End the discussion.
-Lucifer please..
-Kira,you cannot fight me even in my human form,I will not let you go!
-FINE,THAN I'LL ESCAPE MYSELF!
-RARG!he growls shaking the castle.
-Grr..I growl challenging him.
I feel a power.Like something entered in me,at least I feel more powerful than before.
-Is this what you want,Kira?
-If that will get me and my friends out of here then YES!
-Then show me what KAIROS'S BLOOD CAN DO!
-Rargh,I growl pouncing on him and roaring.
-Rrr,he catches both of my hands and slams me into the wall.You cannot win this fight,not now!
,,Wake up!"
-Hrr..I growl getting myself up from the ground.
-Rrgh,you are not made for this.YOU WILL DIE!
-Nobody will ever stop me,not even YOU!
I can't kill him,I have to be smart.This is the time that me and my friends leave this fucking place!
I need something to distract him.He is bigger than before,although he didn't slam me with much power,what is this a warning?
Think Kira think fast you have to..
-I'll take it from here,says Smiler rushing with his shadows in front of me.GO KIRA!
-Smiler..
-GO NOW!
I run downstairs still hearing the words that Smiler was saying to Lucifer.
-C'mon little,little beast,you cannot fight the shadows!
-GRARH!roars Lucifer launching at him.
-Hahahah!laughs Smiler like a crazy man.
Well,if he fights Lucifer,he is kinda crazy to be honest.I run through the halls jumping over the servants and pushing them away.Damn,I'm so fast and strong,but I can't be happy about this now BECAUSE THIS IS PURE MADNESS!
Ok so,think Kira,think,where are they?Lucifer said that Delias and..
-Hello there!
-AH!HOW THE FUCK ARE YOU HERE?!I shout at Smiler's mouth next to my ear.
-Well,that's one of my shadows,I'm just doing nothing,by the way they are all in a small room down there,I can teleport you somewhere far away from here.
-You can?I thought u are just a shadow.
-Well,tehnically yes,but I can also teleport you.I mean like..
-Whoah!I jump over three guards.
-Get rid of them.
-How?
-See the pillar over there?
-Yes,I see it,I answer looking in front of us.
-Push it and block the entrance.
-WHAT?!ARE YOU CRAZY?
-YOU WANT TO ESCAPE OR NOT?!
-Jesus fine,but if I don't get rid of them it's your fault.
  The pillar is holding a part of the castle,there are plenty here,but this one is gigantic.The guards are furious and I can hear Lucifer's roars coming from the other part of the castle.He is very angry,if he catches me now he'll kill me.I just wonder how long will last Smiler's shadow.
The pillar is massive.How the fuck am I supposed to make it fall and block the guards way?It's insane!
-Oh-oh.
-What?
-My shadow just died.
-WHAT???BUT YOU LOOK SO CALM!
-Yes maybe because YOU ARE NOT FAST ENOUGH!COME ON KIRA DO SOMETHING!PUSH THE FUCKING PILLAR AND SAVE OUR LIVES!
,,You can do it."
-Come on Kira he is heading our way!
I try to push the pillar but nothing.I try my best,but my feet are just sliding on the floor.I throw my shoes away and I start pushing harder.Also with my head,I push so hard that I'm almost one with it.I can feel how the castle shakes,the ground is shaking and the servants are running to save their lives.I see Nayla looking at me with fear in her eyes and tears running down on her cheeks.
-Kira..I shouldn't have heard that,she is in the middle of the room and the people are screaming like crazy here,please..
-Nayla RUN!I scream at her.
-Pack!the pillar is going down killing over five of the servants.
-Go Kira Go!screams Smiler.
-RARGH!appears Lucifer from nowhere.
The dust is all in the air and it's foggy now,I can't see anything.The castle is falling down,craters are forming and the people are falling in them.
  -RUN!
I turn my back and start running towards the exit.People are screaming,their screams echoing in the room.Most of them try to jump outside the castle to save their lives.Lucifer looks around him and then growls at me furious.His castle is collapsing and the floor won't hold up for much longer.The cracks of the building and the massive walls won't stay like this for long now,I have to hurry.The castle can collapse any second now.
-Oh I know you can hear me little queen,I will come for you,I hear Lucifer's voice through the echoes of screams and of hurried steps to the exit.
I'm in a labirint of doors.I can't find any of them.
-Smiler where are they?
-Well,I don't know.
-WHAT?CAN'T YOU SENSE THEIR SHADOWS OR SOMETHING?!
-Hm..
-Hurry!
-To your left and then to your right,they're in a small cell,all of them,the dog,the horse,your friends,all of them.
  -Thanks!
I find them after I run on all fours,I run even faster like that and that's very weird,I feel like a fucking animal.Many humans are kept in here and even more elves,even women.They can't leave the cells,and they're scared because they're going to die.
-Please I'm pregnant,I hear a woman to the other side of the hall.
-She's lying!Run Kira!
-I can feel two heartbeats in her,she has twins.
-AND YOU'RE GOING TO RISK YOUR LIFE FOR AN ELF?The castle won't stay like this for long.
-Smiler go find the others and bring them to me.How can you teleport us?
-I need all of you in a single place but there are no 100% chances that I can do that with so many persons,there are even animals here.
-Please,Smiler.
-Okay fine but hurry,Lucifer is close.
Parts of the castle are falling and most of the people there are dead.I can't let that women die,at least her.
-Give me your hand,I'll take you out of here.
She hesitates first.She is a poor woman,why is she in prison anyway?She looks innocent.
-Give me your hand,I'll save you and your babies!
She gives me her hand and I grab her by the wrist.The cell after that collapses and I help her get up from the ground.
-GRARH!roars Lucifer making the whole castle to shake.
-Whoah!
We both collapse on the ground,shivering and having goosebumps from the roars of the king.Just then Smiler appears with all of my friends in the hallway.
-Smiler..I smile looking at him.We are saved.
-Kira,look back!
I look back and I see Lucifer standing in the doorway in his beast form and looking at me with killing eyes.
-Lucifer..
-Hurry Kira,the building!!shouts Smiler from the other side.
Half of the castle is collapsing,making us shake and fall to the ground.Lucifer is looking at his kingdom collapsing with angriness in his eyes and also pure hatred towards me and my friends.
-Rrrah,he comes our way.
-Come on Kira RUN!
I take the young lady by the wrist and I start running with her to Smiler.Lucifer is coming for us in all four,he looks like a rabid lion,he must've went mad because of this.
-Stay here,Kira HURRY UP!
-KIRA!shouts Wyatt.
-QUEEN!shouts Delias and the others.
-Woof!
-Nigaaah!
The shadows surround my friends like a sphere,Smiler is ready to teleport them.
-Come on Kira!Touch Delias!
-Hm!she reaches out her hand to me.
Lucifer is right behind us.His steps are faster and his growls are making my bones to tremble.He is not just mad and furious,he is even scared.But why do I sense fear?Why should he be afraid of?He reaches one of his claws at me and Smiler shouts:
-JUMP KIRA!
-AH!I jump and touch Delias with the tip of my finger,then everything collapses and we're in some kind of vortex that sends us in the middle of nowhere,leaving Lucifer in the air,hitting the wall of the prison.
