The Lost Heir

Chapter 30 Riot

(Dont play the song yet) The afternoon sun was high in the sky. Percival walked to the center of the town square and stood on a crate so everyone could see and hear him. All the civilians stopped and stared at Percival. "Listen to me! No longer will you have to suffer under the oppression of Morgrim!" Said Percival. "Who are you to say that?" Said a civilian. "Yea." Said another. "Do any of you know who I am?! Well let me show you!" Said Percival as he threw off his cloak into the air. "I AM PERCIVAL! LOST HEIR TO THE THRONE!" Said Percival. All the civilians gasped at the revelation. (Play song here) "I AM HERE TO TAKE BACK MY THRONE AND FREE ALL OF YOU FROM MORGRIM'S TYRANNY!" Shouted Percival. The crowd all cheered. Percival enjoyed the approval. "BUT I NEED YOU ALL TO HELP ME! TAKE WHATEVER YOU CAN USE AS A WEAPON AND JOIN ME! RISE UP!" Shouted Percival.

The people all cheered and rushed into their homes and farms to take whatever they could use as a weapon. The people attacked any and all rogue knights they saw along with Percival and his team. "Wow Percival. You inspired a whole kingdom to rise against Morgrim." Said Julie. "No time for praise for the end is near and we must focus because now its life or death." Said Percival as he rushed to the castle doors. "Diego if you could be so kind." Said Percival. "Got it." Said Diego as he forced the castle doors open. Just then a whole group of rogue knights rushed up from behind. "STOP THEM!" Screamed one rogue knight. "Go ahead I will handle them." Said Diego.

"Be careful." said Percival as he rushed through the open doors along with the rest of his team. "Alright lets go." Said Diego as he cracked his knuckles. The group rushed towards Diego. They all let loose a barrage of slashes at Diego but he dodged them all with great precision. He punched a rogue knight right in the gut. The rogue doubled over in pain and Diego grabbed the rogue knight, took his sword and threw him at another. "Come on! Who else wants some?" Said Diego with a smirk on his face. A rogue knight charged at him with sword in hand but Diego blocked and stabbed the rogue knight in the neck with pinpoint precision. The rogue knight bled and choked as he slowly died. The rest stared in terror. "who's next?" Laughed Diego. The rogue knights began to run but Diego followed them in pursuit. Meanwhile Percival and his team ran into a whole hoard of rogue knights. "DONT LET THEM GET TO KING MORGRIM!" Screamed a rogue knight from the hoard.

Percival and Julie drew their blades and began slashing through the hoard with ease until their was one left. Percival stuck his swords right through the survivors abdomen. The knight screamed in pain as Julie finished him off with a slash to the throat with her daggers. "Great work Julie." Said Percival as he kicked the rogue knight off of his swords. "Thanks now let's go end this." Said Julie with a smile. "Now your talking." Said Percival with a smile. "Onward to victory!" Said Percival as he lead the group down the corridor. They arrived at the large doors that lead to the throne room. Percival looked back at his team. "Be ready for anything." Said Percival. The whole group nodded their heads to signify they understood. Midnight barked his approval. "Then let's go!" Said Percival as he kicked the doors open. They rushed inside the throne room. The room was dark with no light at all. There was absolute silence.
