Chapter 1
Every day was the same for Elijah, first breakfast and morning classes on rhetoric and etiquette and later training and social Studies.. This was decided to be appropriate for a crown prince by his father and so it was decided.
But today was different, this day he had been called to his father the King, Jeremiah the XIV's room. 'Where all puplic matters proceeds and needless to say he was excited. He's only been there once, and was his coming of age ceremony. This meant his calling there was of great importance.
Thinking that he passed the standing guard at the door and entered his fathers room
"I have heard your calling and left as soon as possible, my king"
"I am not blind you know..." He says while he lets out a faint sigh. "Nevertheless, do you you know why I called you?" (King)
King)
"No I'm afraid not, My king" Elijah said truthfully, although he was the son of that man he rarely saw him and this was his second time called for directly by Jeremiah. Where the first was his coming of age celebration at sixteen years.
"Please just call me father already Elijah or should I say Eli boy?" He teased Elijah.
"...Understood... father, and please don't call me that" Elijah said embarrassed as he took a seat on the sofa in front of him

"Let's skip the formalities son, I'm growing old and are seing the end of my days."
Boring? Sometimes. Strict? Certainly.
"I am not blind you know..." He says while he lets out a faint sigh. "Nevertheless, do you you know why I called you?"

"Let's skip the formalities son, I'm growing old and are seing the end of my days."
"What do you mean you're going to pass away." Elijah said upset hearing Jeremiah state that so bluntly. Even though they were no closer than acquaintances they were still family and Elijah was the only heir with no siblings or queen to take over.

"Look... Son, I'm at my end. The road is finished, the story is turning old." He looks deep into his eyes and says: "look at me my son... It's over" he says with a tired smile on his lips, cause he was without regret for what he had done.
Elijah looked at his daddy and saw how tired he was, he had dark sacks under the eyes, his hair was gone and replaced with a wig and most if his muscles was long gone.
"..." (Elijah)
While Elijah thought that Jeremiahs smile faithered away and he turned on a serious tone. "The truth is son... The enemies of my rule has lately grown rapidly as I nowadays failed to intercept them" he said and continued after a pause "I fear that they might attack once I leave my earthly place and attack you the heir in the belief of setting a new king appointes by the 12 wise"
"... I..." (Elijah)
"Yes?" He said with a fainting voice (Jeremiah)
"I promise I will take good care of this kingdom and protect the kingdom, father." (Elijah
"Father?"
"It's... Fine... *cough cough agbgjdbtjdb....afefb..........." And started throwing up dark red blood.
"Father... Your dying... I will get the Doctor quickly" he said running for the exit.
"Wait, there's no point in fighting over days when years have passed" he said barely hearable. "More importantly please take this" he said and let out his hand containing a round badge with marking.
"What is this" (Elijah)
"It's my emblem, it contains magic so only those who recieved my friendship can see it's true form, if you use it you may receive aid from my comrades" he said now with blood pouring out of his mouth. "Please... Accept it, my son"
"I understand father, king Jeremiah the XIV I swear that I will do my best as predecessor"
"Thank... y...you.............." Jeremiah says and falls dead on the floor
"........." chocked he sat for another minute Elijah slowly walks towards the door and leaves
"Elijah! Your finished already, sir" the guard asked
"The king is dead, please inform the council" (Elijah)
"What! .... Understood, on it sir"
