Kalista-the living dead

Chapter 1-trust worthy warrior

as I swiftly ran towards the thrown bringing good news. I brought the head of a evil king in the northern part.

"my king, I did what you wanted me to do, and replaced his place by the good beggar from the streets"

"do you know the beggar that you've replace from that king"

"certainly, if not his head is next"

"good, and now people in the northern kingdom are in good hands for now"

"my love can you come here for a sec" her wife called out

"ok, now kalista you can go"

"how about this head?"

"just it in the cemetery"

"thank you"

I bowed down as he walked towards the queen. I watched till his out of sight. Then I started walking outside. It was a sunny day, I followed the river leading to the old cemetery. I watch my reflection as I walk, but it seem disgusting considering I'm holding a persons head as his blood dripping along as I walk.

I was near the cemetery wondering where to bury it. I look around, it wasn't a good cemetery anyway because this was the place where thousand of people died from war. So I was expecting a dumpster of corpse, but surprisingly it wasn't the ground was dried and you can only see a few graves up ahead. But finally found a good spot to bury it. I dug a medium size hole which the head can fit. I covered it with bare hands, I wasn't worried anyway because I was near river. I washed my hands, I wanted to wash my face too but I remembered I was holding some disgusting stuff.

then as look through the trees as I leave. I saw a shadow, a messenger bird perhaps. I quickly ran to the palace to know what's going on.

i slammed the door showing my concern to them

"your majesty what's going on?"

"we are in a grave danger, today i received a threat from unknown enemy, it said that:

someone will die in order to revenge our king. You are one fucking king killing our powerful majesty just to a servant. You shall pay on what you have done. Remember my words 'death will come after you!'"

"but my king you do not deserve this, you are only helping other kingdoms"

"i cannot change there mind, even if you want so. For every action has a problem and for every problem has a solution"

"sir, i shall call our troops and guard to protect you"

"if must"

i ran to call the commander/leader forth bring the news. I was worried for them, the kingdom and even for me. He took care of me as i grow up as a strong warrior. I grow up knowing they are my parents and to serve them in return. I must protect them at all cost even if it means to i loose my life.

as i return to my own room, i took off my helm. I cleared my head passing out to bed. It was rough day, i killed a person which was actually strong. But unexpectedly i fought him well, and he got defeated even he fought dirty. I dozed off quicker than I thought.

it was bright night when I woke up remembering the threat. I signed while holding my neck. When I checked at the kings room when i checked gladly nothing happened. I was quiet hungry so i went down to the palace kitchen when suddenly the baker was already up.

"hey, what are you doing in the middle of the night" he was actually the best cook in the kingdom.

"i was setting up a soup for the king, he actually requested it for breakfast. I need alot of time to make a perfect one" but something was wrong he was
actually hiding something from his back i can say that.

"hmm...smells delish, can i try?"

"ummmm...sure just a sec?"

"so whatu hiding there?

"what? Hiding? What, i didnt didnt hide something" he answered nervously.

"ok"

i didnt care anyways i was hungry. He cooked a beef soup with a cabbage And corn. As expected beef is the hardest meat i know but suprisingly it was very soft and tender like been boiled for a long time. It was delish

"thanks for the free taste"

"it wasn't for free, nope just kidding but anyway where you heading off?"

"nothing much, maybe scroll around to guard in not tire now anyway, why you ask?"

"I was wondering"

"ok, then off I go, bye"

he just waved his hand in return.
