The Seventh Scepter

The Sealed Celestial

Woken up by the sound of that voice, the King incorporates himself and grabs a hold of his sword getting ready to confront whoever was talking. He lifts up his face to see who talked but no one was there. Not letting his guard down he turns around having the feeling that someone was watching him. He slowly started moving from the shore to the trees getting deeper into the woods trying to figure out what was going on.

What do you seek? King

Again that voice, like sound flooding the Atmosphere, Penetrating deep into the king's heart Making his legs weak and trembly.

"Who goes there?" The King replied

"Show yourself!" He shouted drawing his sword, looking side to side trying to find where the voice was coming from.

***Crash***

Stepping back to adjust his posture the king Notices that something was underneath his foot. Looking down he sees a piece of broken glass, shining like a prism. Wondering where that came from, lifting up his gaze, his face completely changed as he couldn't believe what he saw.

Everything that was behind him was covered in glass. The lake, trees, even the animals where Petrified by this material. "How can this be?" The king thought.

With the urge to run away from there, he turns around and right in his face a wall of pure glass appeared in front of him. Surprised, the king quickly steps back and stumbles, losing his balance and falling to the floor letting go of his sword.

***Clank***

Recuperating from the fall he notices the reflection in the wall. He could see himself, like in a mirror, but around him Grand victoria on fire and the people running in desperation.

Is that... My Kingdom?

The King wondered as he slowly walked towards the image.

Closer and closer he approached the wall until his reflection was directly in front of him. Tears going down his cheeks as he could not believe his eyes. The Kindom he was trying so hard to protect was been consumed by flames and darkness.

"NNNNOOOOOO!!!!"

***Bang***

With heavy heart and desperation, the King hits the wall with the backside of his fist.

"Enough...I don't want to see this no more" he mumbled.

Feeling a dark aura near him he notices that something was wrong, looking at the image, his reflection was not mimicking his movements like before but instead, it stood there, close, with an evil smirk on its face. At that moment the reflection takes his arm out of the wall and grabs the King from the neck lifting him up a few inches from the ground.

Fighting to breathe, The king with the corner of his eye looks at his sword that Is lying on the ground. Been unable to reach it, he turns his eyes back at the wall and when he does his expression changed with fear. What had him by the neck was no longer his reflection but a dark figure, a Lawless, one that he had never seen before, looking right at him.

Desperate to survive the king started punching the wall with all the little strength he had and with each hit, the wall would crack. Each punch got weaker and weaker as he could not breathe to the point that he couldn't lift his arm anymore.

Starting to Loose consciousness he hears the dark voice of the Lawless saying: "I've won"

Hearing this the King got filled with anger and gathered all his strength on one last punch.

"aaaaaahhhhh!!!"

***Bang***

***Crack*** ***Crack*** ***Crack***

***Rumble*** ***Rumble*** ***Rumble***

The wall breaks and the king falls down to the floor and lays there.

***Cough*** ***Cough*** ***Cough***

Everything got completely quiet for a moment.

"What's your name? King"

Spoked by the voice, the King looks up to find out a young man looking down at him. He was wearing a mask, made with glass that covered just his eyes. In his arms and body, you could see fragments of prism shards sticking out. His hair was short, white with glass highlights and it moved like if he was underwater.

Not having more strength to fight he answered the young man:

"Lieress, my name is Lieress"

The young man replied:

King Lieress, are you lost?

King: "I've come from a long journey looking for a place, its called the Halo. Do you know where it is? If you do, please tell me, I'll do anything!" With tears in his eyes, he replied.

Young man: "The Halo, huh... And What do you expect to find in that place?"

King: "I... I Don't know, an answer, maybe, on how to stop the Lawless. I've... lost so much to find it and I can't bear to watch my people suffer any longer."

Keeling close to the King the You man says: " The love for your people burns bright and pure, I can see it. It is not you, oh king, who will save them but someone whose number will be Seven. He will open the (Sealed Celestial) and obtain the power to deliver your people and the whole world from the Lawless. But take heed, Power that is not controlled is Chaos."

The King looks at the young man's face and asks:

"What's...What's your name?"

Young man: "My name is Genahsis. I am the keeper of the Celestial and until today I was waiting for the messenger." he said standing up and sticking his right hand out.

***Rumble*** ***Rumble*** ***Rumble***

All of a sudden a White and golden Sword closed with Seven seals emerged from the crystalized ground. Genahsis grabs it and holds it in front of the King saying: "Take this, deliver it to the one that will save the world he's the only one who can open it." The king holding his hand up receives the sword and it that moment power flowed from the sword to him.

***Crack*** ***Crack*** ***Crack***

The floor started to break and sink like thin ice underneath king Lieress.

Trying to crawl out of the braking ground the King begins to move desperately but the floor completely chattered and the King fell into a dark and deep abyss holding tight to the sword that was given to him.

"Find your Scepters, mark them with a seal, entrust them with the power that has been entrusted to you" Those where the Last words he heard as he falls.

Waiting to hit the ground Lieress closes his eyes and embraced the sword with all his strength.

"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!"

***Bum***

................................

***People chatting***

Confused by what he was hearing he slowly opened his eyes and got surprised with what he saw... He found himself sitting at his throne. At that moment a voice was heard shouting "My Lord, I found something."

It was a wise-man holding a book. When the wise-man sees the sword in the King's hand he said: My, Lord. Did the blacksmiths make you a new weapon? It looks like anything I've ever seen before... Absolutely remarkable! Anyways, I found this book written by an archeologist!

Right there the King stops the wise-man from talking and says with a smile on his face: "I know what to do!"  

And so, the search for the scepters and the one who could open the sword began.

Thanks for reading!
