Marked: Part 2; The Wronged

Chapter 41

Jkdek worked hard to accomplish everything that had been done. Before he came to power the Market stood alone. After winning the election the year his father retired, his goal was to unite the whole Underground. By the time he had been in office for five years he had made his first two successes. The elf and mothman kingdoms had joined the alliance and the royal airs were placed onto the council. Jkdek wanted the princes and princess first borns to be on the council instead of the great king and queens. It gave them a responsibility to uphold, it would prove they were ready to succeed their parents. Within the next few years the Tanuki kingdom considered joining and eventually did. His current accomplishments included the meta-marked kingdom, mer kingdom, the other Marked colony, the dragon kingdom and his most proud accomplishment yet, the Ifnhc (if-na-hic) kingdom. The Ifnhc kingdom was the hardest kingdom of them all. They were tough and stubborn people. They barely get along with any of the other rulers. The funny part is that on the list of most kingdoms to avoid, Cotalose is right under Ifnhc. Sadly, Cotalose doesn't exist anymore, as it was resolved when Yxeyhfkx and the council made a treaty together. The council didn't want to give him the power back, they feared he would go crazy with power because of his previous offenses. Amilia sat in a room alone. She was the only one at the table. There was one chair across from her at the table. She was so scared. She didn't know what was going to happen. She was relieved to know that Unora didn't see or hear anything she told the council. Which means she won't attack, at least not yet, anyway. Suddenly Amilia heard a door creak open and then slam shut. She soon saw that it was Jkdek. He walked slowly with many papers in his arms. Even a few binders and at least three pens. He set everything down on the table where the empty chair was. He stopped working on everything of course. He pushed it off to the side and looked at Amilia in the eyes. There wasn't much to say. Neither of them really knew what to start with. Jkdek promised he would speak with Amilia. But he didn't have anything bad to say. He didn't have a way to 'reprimand' her.
"So, um, who is it?" he said asking her.
"Uh, what?"
"The victim who started this whole charade."
"What are you going to do with them?"
"Monitor them. You know Oglm had those nasty toxins in his system. We were lucky enough that they were common toxins and not the rare ones. So, we were able to cure him. I just want to make sure that your friend is safe."
Amilia sighed. "It's Akxfo."
"Akxfo?" Jkdek questioned. "Why would you risk your sanity for someone who nearly killed you three times?"
"contrary to popular belief, Akxfo was the best trainer I have had yet. He taught me so much from just diving right into it. And actually, he has saved my life at least two times in the past."

"Ah, I see. Well, I suppose I should call him back then, and keep a good eye on him. But I can't exactly give him his job back, it's still too dangerous for him. Hm..." He thought. "I'll have to think of a job for him. What happened to him though? If he still has the toxins in his system, then that would mean Unora would still have had control over him.""Wll, you see..." she paused. "The Counts son, Junior, sort of bit both of us.""So, the two of you are vampires now? But you don't even look like a vampire.""I don't know exactly what he did, but I know that she doesn't quite have her clutches on me or him, anymore."

"Well, how about this, you come up with a job for Akxfo and I'll get all the transfer papers together. And if you could also get him to apply for HS as well I would appreciate it."

"Oh, I uh- I don't know what kind of jobs you guys offer."

"I can grab you a list. I'll leave it at Oglm's shop. It'll be in Catonin though, alright? How are your lessons anyhow. Is Catonin easier to learn now?"

"Oh, yes, I actually picked it up quick last year."
