Saga Of The Celestial Warriors

ESCAPE FROM THE PALACE OF SHADOWS

A silver-clad figure approached the cells of Hilbert, Gödel and Matilda. This figure opened the cells with a key made of a blue crystal. The three left their cells and were amazed at the person in front of them. It was Timo Eckhart. He uncovers his hood with a smile.

"Timo!?" utters Hilbert very surprised at the scene.

"How did you manage to recover so fast?" Matilda asks, also surprised.

"I can't explain it now! The elven prince is on our side. Let's Hurry and get our things." says Eckhart hurriedly as he went with his companions to the warehouse.

Upon arriving at the site, Galadror and Galandrawin were waiting.

"Put on the armor, the princess will take you to the top of the palace." says Galadror calmly.

The friends put on their new armor and pick up their weapons, the urgency of the situation made the shame disappear. Timo was wearing armor similar to Hilbert's and had a celestial bow that belonged to Elwin's grandfather. The other order Galadror was taking care was for Timo. Elwin had sent a telepathic message to the elven blacksmith. After preparing, Galandrawin accesses a secret passage that was behind a rusty armor. There was a staircase that led to the top of the palace. Everyone was hurrying up those white rock steps. Upon reaching the top, the companions spot two white dragons at the top of the palace. They had saddles on. Morgan was also waiting there. Galandrawin turns to the four companions and with a smile begin to speak.

"These dragons will take you to the southern star realm! Elwin will come to you! Don't worry and have a good journey." Galandrawin approaches Matilda and hugs her. Then she returns to the place where the secret passage was, entering the palace again. The sky was orange and the night was beginning to fall.

"We will take a day to the southern star realm, humans! Hurry up, because Filanwin's fury will be unleashed!" says one of the dragons. Everyone was amazed by that unusual scene, but they soon get on the dragons and leave for Southstar. Morgan joined the dragons flying at high speed.

In the palace, the king prepared the ritual to end Hilbert's existence. Filanwin was in a large empty room that had an opening in the ceiling. The elven king watches the dragons taking his prisoners and becomes enraged. Before he could react, Elwin appears to confront his father. Filanwin was looking furiously at his son.

"That was your entire plan, wasn't it?" the king questions Elwin furiously.

"Father, open your eyes! Chaos is getting more powerful and influential in this world. Hilbert is not the only one who can be Marhg Naroth's vessel, as he has a sister who has much more magical power than the prince! I could feel it when I passed through the southern star realm. We need to protect them!" says Elwin with determination.

"I thought your journey of enlightenment would make you wiser, Elwin, but I was apparently mistaken. You have been corrupted by humans!" says Filanwin, looking disappointed.

"The gods have charged us to protect and guide humans! I heard those words from my grandfather who heard them from the gods! Did you forget our burden? Did you lost your mind?" asks Elwin looking at his father.

"Don't tell me about the gods! I met the gods and could look in their faces a last time. I am the last elf alive that has achieved it. I should have ended that cursed bloodline a long time ago! You are no longer my son... I am banning your presence in the palace and erasing the records of your existence from the history of our people. Disappear from here now! I will intercept those dragons, and then I will be in charge of ending the White bloodline." Filanwin was beginning to emanate the celestial aura.

"I will not allow it!" says Elwin also manifesting the celestial aura.

"You betray your father and still think you can win in a battle? I think I failed as a father. No! It is you that failed as a son! Get ready, Elwin! From now on we will be enemies." says Filanwin angrily in his eyes.

The clash between father and son began. Filanwin formed a sword with the celestial aura and set out to attack Elwin. Elwin dodged his father's fast attacks. Elwin jumps and takes distance while firing a blast of celestial energy towards Filanwin, who blocks with his other hand. Cosmic energy covered both their bodies. Filanwin concentrates a large amount of aura in his hands and fires a blast at Elwin, who held this energy in his hands. This force dragged the prince and made him crash into the palace wall breaking the hard rock. After dispersing this energy, Elwin manifests a sword of light and sets out towards his father. The king was beginning to parry Elwin's attacks with his celestial aura sword. When the king sees a gap in his movements, he pierces Elwin's heart. Elwin kneels, bleeding profusely from the wound and mouth. Elwin's aura was beginning to weaken a lot, making it impossible for him to heal himself. Filanwin was looking at his injured son with disgust. A celestial aura takes over Elwin's body, healing his wounds. Queen Yhirllien had healed her son.

"Filanwin, I will not allow you to murder our son!" says the Queen looking at the king with anger. "Get out of here Elwin, you are banned from the kingdom, as your former king said! Never return here again!" says the Queen with tears in her eyes. Elwin gets up slowly and leaves that place crestfallen and watery. The king watches that scene trying to calm down. Looking up, he could no longer see his former prisoners.

"Yhirllien, we raised a traitor. Your piety will only be forgiven, for I know that your mother's love speaks louder than your reason." says Filanwin looking at his wife.

"I am very proud of our children, Filanwin! Dare to threat our son again and I swear I will end your life! Even if it's the last thing I do upon the face of this world or the other! The only thing that has always spoken louder than reason is your foolish pride." says the Queen angrily drying her tears, turning and leaving that place. Filanwin looked silently at Elwin's blue blood spilled on the floor.

Elwin was headed for the warehouse where Galadror and his sister were. Gradually he recovered his strength. Upon arriving at the site, Galadror and Galandrawin looked on in amazement at Elwin's countenance and the huge hole in his shirt.

"I thank you for your help! I won't be able to magically transport myself for today, so I'll summon a dragon to take me to the southern star realm!" says Elwin with deep sadness and pain. Galandrawin approaches her brother and hugs him with tears as tears flows from his eyes.

"Elwin, I will miss you my brother as I always did in your absence. Be cautious!" says the princess looking sadly at her brother.

"Do not worry my dear sister. I promise that we will meet again." Elwin smiled at Galandrawin as tears flows from her eyes.

"It was an honor to be able to serve you, Elwin! You were always there when I needed!" says Galadror shaking Elwin's hand firmly.

"The honor was mine!" says the prince with a smile. "I'm leaving, because I need to honor the promise that our people made to the gods! Farewell." Elwin was going to the secret passage. The two elves watched with sadness the departure of the renegade prince.

Elwin climbs to the top of the palace and it was already night, he begins to utter some magic words in the Elven language and after a while a white dragon appeared in front of him. Elwin climbed on the dragon and left for Southstar. Queen Yhirllien looked sadly at her dear son's departure through a palace window.
