The Lightning Bender and The Battle Of The East

Nightlight

"He's sleeping at the bedroom above us." the woman replied to the princess.

Lady Victorious immediately walked upstairs and walked to the bedroom where the man lived. She have Sir Edward on her right side and three armored guards on her left. She walked to the middle bedroom door, as what the woman said to the princess.

I heard the commotion at the first floor of the house and immediately heard the conversation of the princess and the old woman at the first floor. So I sat on the floor of the bedroom at the front of the door, took my staff and put the staff beteween my waist and my tummy and waited for the princess to pick me up with her calvary as I clasped my hands towards my thighs.

I closed my eyes and suddenly heard the princess walking upstairs. I can hear her shoes cluttering on the stair steps and immediately heard the princess walking on the alley towards the bedroom door by her footsteps. So I pulled my hood up to cover my head and breathe in and out as I'm waiting for the princess to open the door for me.

When they reached the door, Sir Edward opened the door in and the princess walked inside the bedroom. She saw a man sitting on the middle of the room, with his hood on his head, bowing his head as if he surrendered himself. She also saw the same golden staff that she easily remembers from the arena and, now, behind the man's arms.

"I'm expecting you, my lady." I said to the princess. "I guess you already understand the meaning of the words I wrote on the note."

Lady Victorious amazed at what I just said.

"How did you know that?" she asked. "How did you know about the note?"

I smiled.

"Because I am the one who put the note on your sleeve, my lady." I revealed.

"How did you do that I did not know?"

"My speed made me invisible as I run." I said. "I intentionally ran towards me earlier on this day and quietly slipped the note on your sleeve. It was an easy work for me."

The princess didn't talk anymore and looked around the bedroom. She saw that the room is dark and gloomy and the windows has been covered with drapes. No other windows besides that open window shown the light of the night. Then she looked back at me and smiled.

"Are you the one who has been called The Hand of Zeus?" she asked.

I took the staff from my lap and stood the staff on my right side. I held the staff at the side and immediately exerted some lightning spark from my feet to the staff that faded on the top of the staff. The princess was so surprised at my ability and smiled back at me.

"So you are the one who has been called in the prophecy." the princess concluded.

I just smiled.

"You can say that." I said at the princess.

I pointed my right pointer finger to the ceiling and exerted some spark at the tip of my pointer finger. Then I released the spark in the air and the spark slowly moved towards the air. The spark immediately gave us light and the princess was so amazed on such power I have. I stood up, took my hood off and smiled at the princess.

The princess looked at my face and it is now visible by the light that the lightning spark gave us. Then she immediately remembered that one face that she saw on that circus tent and on the marketplace. Then she smiled.

"Hi, my lady!" I greeted. "It's good to see you here."

"You?" she asked, with amazement. "You're the one on the prophecy?"

"Yes." I replied.

Then a moment of silence came between me and the princess. I looked at the reaction on her face and noticed she's still in a middle of her amazement and shock. So I smiled.
