The Legend Of Moon

11. The command

Latorius' POV

I sighed as I laid down on the bed inside my new bedroom of my own castle situated somewhere downtown nearby the main river Aquentro, a river running trough the whole Wizard World from North to South and from West to East. It was silent since my army was outside, searching for my well said enemy Echo Link, the chosen king by the sun for this world. The supposed to be teenager hero from the Fallen Valley, a valley which was long forgotten by any commoner not from those sides. It got me to wonder how come a great lord as the sun would chose a simple teenager with no acknowledge at all, nobody to help him out at all. Any normal person would think it was nothing, let the boy be or underestimate them and eventually be defeated easily. I wasn't like that, I wouldn't be tricked. Everyone knew that so far in history, there had always been a powerful man on the throne, the sun always chose the strongest man to do so. Even when he would be the youngest, I didn't think the sun would make a stupid mistake all of the sudden. Echo, a boy nobody heard about, was supposed to be real, running around somewhere at some place and were to come and bring me my 'doom'.

I didn't believe in lies, simple tasks, no such things. Neither did I believe this boy actually stood a chance, but as I was always told, I wouldn't give him even the opportunity to try. It would be known as searching for troubles and I did not want such thing at all. I was powerful, I rulled the kingdom and nobody was allowed to disturbe that balance at all. I was the Wizard King now, wanted or not. And I had to make sure it stayed that way, no matter what happend.

"Sore Zen, get down here right now!" I just called his name or he already stood there in front of me, formal greeting. "You called me sire?" I nodded, waving off his greeting. I didn't know why but it just annoyed me so much. "Yes I did, I've got a mission for you." He nodded softly, so small, I barely noticed. "What do you wish, your majesty?" "I want you to go and collect the Magical Knights. Find them and bring them to my castle in a respectful way. They are my guests." He nodded, walking out before bowing, leaving me all alone once more inside this empty room.

I sighed, staring to the ceiling as if it was the most beautiful thing inside the whole world for now, there was nothing to do or to be done. Everything went as I wanted to, so I decided to make time pass by a bit faster and stood up, sitting on a chair behind my desk filled with papers of every wizard that was alive or ever lived at all that people knew about. It were those papers that contained no name as Echo or Link at all, so I tried something else. I searched for all the members of the Magical Knights, given a name of an element, trained by their predecessors, symbolizing the perfect definition of a good wizard. Although, even that little group of 5 man who were supposed to be great wizards with an amazing power, missed their last and sixth member. Years ago, something were to happen so the sixth member wasn't able to find his student in time to train him, leaving several generations to pass without a sixth member. Even now, after all this time, no generation was able to find their sixth member of the fitting generation. Together with all the things going on in the past, this was one of the most messed up mysteries I could recall.

I flipped trough all the files, one by one 'till one catched my eye. "This is interesting", I thought out loud as I scanned the page. "Failled execution. Moon Knight, the newborn child found three days ago nearby the Aquentro river on the North side of the country by one of the local guards, was found 'guilty' for his forbidden existence. The child was supposed to be executed this afternoon but somehow survived it's attack given by the Wizard King himself. Unable to explain the situation and to ease the worries coming from his people, the King erased the child's memories and dumped him somewhere between the humans. Local people say the child was gifted with special power, explaining his survival as well as 'being found guilty'. Nothing has been heard of this child ever since, the King assumed he died a while ago." A smile creeped on my face, the more I learned about the Wizard World's people and their legends, the more I got excited whenever I realised I rulled them. It got me all fired up, but I decided nobody should know or notice, I was their example from now on after all. This world was messed up and I liked it, all the mistakes people made, everything they did not see back then, I could judge it even now. For example, if that Moon kid was still alive nowadays, which wasn't possible, I would take him under my wing and raise him as a weapon against the enemy. If he listened to you from the start, he was in your control and you didn't have to worry about the threat he might have been. Another one, if the sixth member didn't have a student, then why still assuming there is one now? It's not like they'll ever find the missing member of the Magical Knights after all. I sighed and stood up, laid back down on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. "This world, this illusion, it's full of holes that nobody notices but I do. I am the greatest! I am the ruler! No chosen King by the sun will stop me now! I am the King now!"
