Chapter 18: Intermission: Mage Kingdoms Hero – Part 4

Taz Van Polan

"When you enter the world, the alarm will go off when you go through the backdoor. There is a bounty on Berks's head of 600 billion Randid. Zark is 50 billion Rand; your head is 150 million Zan. Then there are other criminals, the highest being a pirate called Orion Frien, who has 10 million Zan for his head. For your luck, Berk has not entered Valiant yet, so you are lucky because the highest-ranked bounty hunters will be assigned to catch him instead of coming after you." Victoria explained.

Okay! Maybe Berk has it a little bit tougher than me, but that guy takes way more risks than anyone else; how hard can this mission be?

"Fine! What can I do to solve this now?" I asked.

Victoria pointed against the wall, and I moved to the wall and stood there. The Queen moved beside Victoria, who moved towards me and hugged me with the same feelings every time she met me. She had a firm grip, I have to say. It was like saying farewell to a person for the last time. When the hugging session was over, Victoria was in tears, which made me slightly uncomfortable. It was like saying the final goodbye or something like that.

Victoria backed a couple of steps back and aimed the old gun at me, and her tears didn't stop.

"WAIT A MINUTE! ARE YOU GOING TO SHOOT ME?" I screamed.

"By the way, there are 5 million citizens living in the Dungeon...I hope you find all your answers, Taz!" Victoria said.

You must be fudging kidding with me; that is like a whole country.

Precisely at that moment, I closed my eyes, and when I opened them again, I noticed I wasn't touching the floor anymore. I was floating; it was pitch black underneath me. Suddenly, a door opened that showed Victoria and the Queen staring at me. I waved my hands, but they didn't seem to be able to see me.

"VICTORIA!" I yelled, but there was no response.

Something dragged me backward, floating away from Victoria until I thought I was going at high speed. While Victoria was slowly disappearing, I tried to turn around, and a new light popped up, and I was floating against that light now. The light became so bright that I had to close my eyes, and I felt something in my back before the gravity stopped, and I was falling now.

I opened my eyes and was going down against something, looking like a swamp or something. I held my hand onto my nose before I fell into it, and I got some shit in my mouth and tried to swim up as fast as I could for air.

My vision was a little bit blurry when I tried to look around, and I tried to move the crap out of my face, but that was entirely useless even to try. I swam into the land, got up, and tried to clean my face with whatever I could find on the ground. There was what I thought I was feeling like leaves, but because I am in some other world, maybe it's like toilet paper growing from the ground. I looked behind me where I had gone up from the land, and something big was moving in the swamp I just went up from. Looking around, I saw someone on the other side with a cloak. I couldn't see the face, but the individual must have noticed I had fallen from the sky.

"EXCUSE ME! YOU WITH THE CLOAK. WHERE AM I? I yelled over to the other side.

The person disappeared into the woods, and the movement from the big thing in the water started to move towards me; it must been my screaming that alerted it. Fudge this! It was time to move, and I began to run in the other direction, away from the swamp.

After a while, I approached some road and tried to catch my breath there. It was hot on the road, and the sun was shining. I heard the noise of horses and turned around and saw a couple of men approaching, sitting comfortably on their horses.

They slowed down and looked at me, and I recognized the crest on their chest from the guy who had been on the stairs in the building earlier. It must be something connected to Valiant; I thought I was safe here; where did I end up?

"The alarm just sounded in this Area, and a human named Taz Van Polan has entered our realm. If you don't mind, can I ask who you are and your name? The one in the front asked me while pulling up a paper and looking at it.

Shit, was I going to get the apprehended on the first thing happening here.

Meanwhile, in the Mage Kingdom:

An ample light fired up the sky, and everyone in The Mage Kingdom froze and looked at something falling on the other side of Antima Kingdom. The little Pinta started to shine, and Matilda noticed that something was happening. The little one began to run towards the village exit.

“It can't be! It is just a fairy tale!” Hilda uttered while her daughter ran after the little Pinta.

“I TOLD YOU ALL THAT THE HERO WILL COME AND SAVE VALIANT!” Matilda screamed out in the air while chasing after the Pinta.

When little Pinta ran up the stairs to the cave, Matilda followed it. Both stopped at the opening and stared at the staff shining up in blue shining color.

“I knew it; grandfather was right. The prophecy of the hero who would come and save us all was right; he was right.”

Hilda approached the opening and saw the staff shining up for the first time in her life.

“Dad was right! The hero has come to save Valiant.”
