LUSIO And The Hidden Emperor

8. He Has Power.

Lusio got back his sences. He slowly opened his eyes. He was feeling a headache. He realised that the place was not familiar. It was a small room with two windows and a door. There was a small table burried with old fashioned hand written books. It was daytime. Sunlinght was being poured through the windows into the room. Suddenly his eyes were about to come out. He realised that he promised Suzain to be with her all day long. He ran out from the hut. "Stop there Kid" a heavy voice came from the other side. "Where do you want to go this time.??"
-"Hey aren't you the same old man who saved me before at the riverbank?? Your name is ummm aaaa... It is... mmmm..."
-"Argius Steven Ronan."
-"Yeah yeah... whatever...!!!! I have to go to Sulventium castle right now." (Lusio spoke out very fast filled up with a lot of impatience and anxiety)
-"Have you gone mad??
-"NO... I am absolutely fine. I have to go now.
-"It's already been evening kid. And did you forget what happened last night??..
-"It's been what???"
-"Evening you deaf!!!... You've been sleeping for the whole day... I dont know where you live but you are in Lavytan for now. May be you were lost on the way. After you lost your sences, fortunately I was coming through that way and I took you to my hut. And you should wait for tomorrow morning for setting off to somewhere."
-"SHIIITTTT!!!!!!!!!... (Lusio held his head and sat down on the bed)"

Otherside At Norhatten...
A bunch of troops raided at Mr. McDorres's house. They were looking for Lusio. They forced Nancy.
-"I swear I dont know where he is!! Believe me. I thought he is at the castle still. Even I myself got a shock to know that my brother is missing." (Nancy said with a fear as well as tension mixed tilted voice)
-"Hey lets take them to castle. Then the boy will come for sure." (One of the troops suggested)
They take Nancy and John McDorres to the castle in front of the King.
-"We dont know anything my lord. Plzz believe us. We are scared too, for him. He is like my son." (John tried to convince)
-"I dont care what you say. Both of you have to stay here in the Cell untill the boy comes here. (The king said to John) TAKE THEM TO THE CELL GUARDS!!!!" (he ordered the troops)
They accordingly took John and Nancy to the chamber of cells. "Leave us please..!!!" John told the troops. "We will do no harm to you. Dont worry, King doesn't punish innocents. You two are just brought here to pull the boy back." now for the 1st time the troop behaved politely. They saw a broken cell in the chamber. "Hey... Who was in that cell.??" (John asked the troops)
-"An Old man. We dont know who he was. We even cant understand that how he managed to break the cell and escape out.!!" (The troop answered).

meanwhile at Lavytan,
- "But I have to go there as soon as possible." (Lusio said to himself)
-"But you cant go now"(The Old man replied)
-"Bt Mr. Ronan...I..."
-"SHUT UPP KID!!!! (Ronan shouted at Lusio)... you have to stay here today. And at other hand I need you.
-"You need me??!!" (Lusio threw a confused expression)
-"Yes I need you. You have the thing what exactly I am looking for."
-"I have the thing?? But what is this??"
-"DARK POWERS...!!!!"
-"What????" (Showing disbelief)
-"Dark Powers lad... You have powers within yourself"
-"No no no no... You must be kidding right. I mean these only happen in movies... You must be very big fan of 'Harry Potter' or 'Lord of The Rings'...."
-"Stop talking nonsence. And I am repeating it again. I DO NOT JOKE."
-"Ummm okay okay... but why do I believe you???"
-"You are in a unbelievable mesterious place. You are in here for more than weeks. And you still dont believe that Dark Powers exist!!! Well then you are more stupid than I thought."
-"I am not stupid. I just cant believe this sort of things..."
-"Then you must be dreaming right now..! Fantasising about a unknown Kingdom...!!"
-"No.. I mean it is real... I...I..."
-"Just listen to me boy. I definately told you that nobody can get out of this place. But you can give a knock to him. You are the new hope i was looking for 25 years."
-"I cant understand what are you saying. And who is this 'him' and what about this dark powers?? bt wait... First you tell me what happened that day when I was taken by the river. Why did I stop??..."
-"Yeah I know it is normal to have a lot of question like these... Let me explain... This Sulventium is an artificial place. This is made by a human just like you and me with the help of Dark Powers, you can say evil powers. This place is on the making still. He only have been able to make a small area Identical to Earth. This sun, this moon, everything is fake, just like illution."
-"Illution?? but..."
-"Did you notice that here the moon doesn't change it's shape?? Every night is a full moon night... Did you notice that the Sun rises and sets in the same side?? Did you notice that there is no stars in the nightsky??..."
Lusio was just speechless. He really did not thought of these things. But he realised at once. Mr Ronan kept saying,
-"And he,who made this place, is a human being not a God. So did many mistakes while creating this world. He is not able to create a whole universe. He could just make a peace of land. Wish of being a God made him blind. But with a isolated land he needed some humans too so they can worship him. So he started to take people from Earth to here, in Sulventium. He brought people from every side of the Earth. Your Norhatten is mostly populated by Europians. Lavytan is mostly filled up by African continental peoples. Just as Pekhom by Indians and East Asians, Morland by Americans. Burgentum by Arabian cultured Country peoples etc."
-"Ohh I see.. sounds interesting as well as horrible too."
-"And that day... This place is not totally made yet. It is being constructing bit by bit and the place beyond the waterfalls was not made yet. So you could not be drifted away further with the flow."
-"Wicked!!..Okay I get it. Now tell me about this dark enrgies and powers."
-"Hmmm... Thats a mythological story."
-"I will be glad to listen to it."
-"Okay so listen carefully.... ONCE UPON A TIME..............."
