The Shadow & The Queen

A Phenomenal Discovery

The journey begins as Erraa & co. prepare to return from Technicia. Salah, Issac, Carlocky, Aurynna followed by the soldiers are trailing behind Erraa.
Erraa has a determined look on her face because now she has Money, Army, Weapons & allies and infact everything one needs to own before retaking a kingdom. Salah takes his horse near Erraa's.

Salah: Erraa, we should send the raven back home so that the men remain on the alert and we waste no time before attack!

Erraa: (with a stern look on her face, not facing Salah) I think you should go and make necessary arrangements for the weapons and alert the men.
You're a trusted man, so it must be you!
It will take us two days to return!

Salah: (smiling) As you wish my Queen!

Salah leaves without another word and Erraa's journey continues..

One day passes and Salah returns to the camp.

Leona and Alex welcome him warmly.

Salah: Thank you for the welcome Alex & Leona! The Queen and the companions are returning with the weapons in a day. We should prepare for their welcome.

Alex: (loudly, to the workers) Okay guys! Let's prepare for the grandest & the warmest welcome for our Queen Erraa!!

The men get back to work and Leona, Alex & Salah go for the tent.

On their way to Salah's tent, Leona gestures to get Salah's attention without Alex knowing it. She points toward Alex's hands with her head. Salah narrow eyededly watches Alex's hands. He sees that his hands have become bright red in color and specially the index & the mid fingers of the both hands have become blueish. He makes a thumbs up sign to Leona and they get inside the tent.
Salah sits in his chair with Leona & Alex by his sides.

Salah: So how's everything been?

Leona: Everything went smooth. The men are ready for the war. There is no problem now for us to get the food for them.

Alex looks a bit lost in thoughts. Salah notices him but without him knowing it.

Salah: (to Alex) So Alex, anything new from the Floodholt?

Alex doesn't notice that Salah has asked a question.

Salah: Alex??

Alex: (clearly shocked) Huh!!! You said something?

Salah: I asked you about Floodholt but you were lost in thoughts. Anything bothering you?

Alex: Yeah Mate! I've discovered something about myself.

Salah: (looking in Alex's eyes) And what is that?

Alex: (bringing his hands forwards) You noted that the color of my hands is changing? I can strike thunderbolts with them.

Salah: (shocked) Holy Crap!! How is that even possible?

Alex: (Pointing his fingers towards the floor) You want to see the proof?

Alex closes his eyes and a lightning begins to appear from his fingers and the thunderbolt strikes the floor.

Salah: (eyes wide open and he is thrilled) That. Is. Phenomenal!!! How are you even able to do that?

Alex: I am still learning to control it. When I am mad at something, I get the boost and as far as I know, I can strike the thunderbolts continuously for 2 hours.

Salah: You need to get a solution to control it without hurting yourself. You surely will be helpful in the battle to come.

With an incredible ability discovered in Alex, how will Erraa react to it? And is it finally the time for the WAR??? Keep reading to find out...
