A Dragon's Melancholy

🐲Chapter 2🐲

The air breeze blows and the cold weather sneer as queen Celeste watch the sun rises today, still bothered by what Galadreil said the other day,

Celeste ordered the whole army of Rausten to be fully Alert,

all the villages in the kingdom is full of deployed soldiers, every hour patrol dragons is soaring in the sky, and the kingdom's border between Archanea and Thorum is now closed.

She cannot just sit here doing nothing, if truly the enemy practices fell magic,

" Your highness, you wish to summon me, what can I do for you? "

Celeste know fell magic, but she don't have any knowledge about how it works,

" I have a question to you Meister Knoll, since your a bishop you have a knowledge in any magic. "

" What about it your highness? "

" Tell  me everything you know about fell magic. " Celeste is now eager to avenge her husband, if their enemy fights them with magic, she will also use her own magic to kill the enemy.

" The magic of death, that's what the we mages called it, fell magic is considered as forbidden and lost magic, it was used eons ago by the mages who uses dark arts,

even the starlight magic of queen Alessandria cannot withstand the power of fell magic, it is forbidden because to be able to harness the power of the death, the caster must first take a life of another living being,

once life was taken, fell magic comes in place, it sucks the very soul of a person leaving its victim desiccated, if the caster uses fell magic in a large area everything that have a life quickly faces death. "

She couldn't believe that fell magic posses such tremendous power, now she's not just worried about her daughter or the stone that she protects, but also for the safety of her kingdom.

" But is there any way to stop such evil magic Meister? "

" The only way to destroy fell magic, is the power of the stones, once the stones of life is combined as one, then the Aurelius stone will be formed,

it have the power to purify any traces of evil in the whole land, and with that maybe fell magic will be stop. "

Celeste could not utter a word, it is impossible for the stones to combined since Thorum owned the fire stone, they will not surrender it easily.

            ~~~THRONE ROOM~~~

So many works is piled up today, and the queen and princess Linde are busy doing the works, that the king has left since he passed away.

The lines of the townsfolk from different villages is in the room, crowding with their complains and requests,

Celeste couldn't help but over think about their conversation with Knoll, she heave a sigh of tiredness,

" Pardon people of Rausten, but we will continue tomorrow, I will not accept any more complains and requests today, you may now leave. "

Before all the villagers get out of the throne room, a young lad came rushing in front of the queen,

he is sweating and drench in blood, fear and shock is visible in his eyes as he bow down to queen Celeste.

The queen hurriedly step out of the throne and go directly to the young man, she's wondering what happened to him.

" What happened to you my dear, you look like your afraid of something. "
