[BOOK 1] The Adamahns and the Star Child 🏳️🌈 [boxboy][original]

78. Poison To The Ground

Oisin dropped on his knees in anguish of what he had learned about his past. But, Aito reminded him.

"Do not anchor your grief to the ground. Let the wind take it away. He who anchors his grief to the ground will poison the land."

Oisin understood what Aito meant.

Meanwhile, the king of the Phoenix was still unconscious in the palace of the Orakulua. There were two guards outside the chamber where Rowan was.

At the Northern gate of the palace, two guards were guarding the entrance. A horse driven wagon arrived. The wagon seemed to be filled with hay.

"What is this?" They stopped the driver.

"These are hays."

"We do not need hays." The guards laughed.

"You don't?"

"Are you stupid or something?"

From the side of the road, two men came from behind the guards. They covered the mouths of the guards and twisted their necks until it was broken. After that they dragged the dead bodies to the side of the road, took their uniforms and hid it among the bushes.

"It's time." The wagon driver said.

The hays moved and men dressed in Forest Clan soldier uniforms came out from the wagon. All in all they were eight unknown men pretending to be soldiers at the gate. Simultaneously, the other gates were also being penetrated by ten men at the South, eight at the East and ten at the West.

In less than an hour, these soldiers stealthily replaced the guards of the palace even the guards outside of Rowan's chambers.

Meanwhile, on top of the mountain, over looking the palace, the king of the Vatr Clan was waiting dressed in his shining azure armor. From where he was, he could see his soldiers had strategically surrounded the Forest Clan palace. And, there were a hundred more escorting L'Nykt in the mountain.

"My Lord," The foot soldier began to say. "We received words that our people had fully infiltrated the palace."

"Good."
