Prologue Chapter 8 : Arrival of a king.

The entire village is preparing for an attack.

Diamond: Did you all manage to gather the resources I told you?

Hunters: Yes we did.

Diamond: Now go and get yourself ready to fight, practice defending the village. Prepare for all possibilities.

Diamond is leading the people of the village making sure everything is going all right.

Eris: Diamond! There you are, what's going on? we are getting attacked?

Diamond explains everything to Eris

Eris: I am scared.

Diamond: It's all right. Father has gone to beat the monsters and besides I am here to protect you.

Eris: Thank you. But where is Gold? Did you give him a task to complete?

Diamond: Don't worry, I will protect him too.

Eris: What? Protect him? He doesn't need your protection he is quite strong too.

Diamond: But not as strong as me and he will never be.

Eris: You have never said that before, you always believed in him.

Diamond: But I have seen how far he can go. It's not enough. You should go back now.

Gold is still recovering from his loss.

Gold: (It wasn't that he was too fast for me to react but I just knew it will be pointless. His sword could easily break mine i couldn't clash with him.)

Gold filled with emotions remembered his mother.

Gold: (I will not let this take over me. I have to calm myself. I have to do the right thing even if my heart says no. Even though the people of this village don't care about me i must protect them because I can, Because I am strong!)

Gold starts to meditate there. He enters a state he never did before, his consciousness is existing in multiple different planes simultaneously. There he could see himself existing in all different planes. He realised that in every plane existed a different part of him. His physical body , spiritual body and his Aatma all exist in different planes. Gold figured out that Aatma is what gives matter it's physical shape. Gold has a realisation.

Gold:( If this can work I can get a weapon which can compete with Diamond's sword.)

Gold goes to the blacksmith of his village and asks him for help.

Gold: I need your help to make me a sword.

Blacksmith: You already have a sword and it's one of best i have ever made. I made it for Diamond.

Gold: I need to make another sword I have to try something. Please if you can help me I will do anything you say.

Blacksmith: Okay okay I get it. Let's go.

The blacksmith starts to prepare the metal for the sword.

Unauthorized content usage: if you discover this narrative on Amazon, report the violation.

Gold: Melt this sword.

Blacksmith: But why it's such a good sword it will be a waste.

Gold: Just do it.

The blacksmith does as he is told. The metal is ready for it to be given shape.

Blacksmith: Now hand me that hammer Gold.

Gold: No, I will do it.

Blacksmith: What? You can't do it. You will not be able to give it a proper shape. You will just waste my hardwork.

Gold: It's pointless if I don't.

Gold closes his eyes and enters that state again and starts striking the metal with hammer.

Blacksmith: Atleast open your eyes you fool. See it's shape is all rough.

Gold continues to strike with hammer. The sword starts to glow, it's like something is filling it up.

Blacksmith: What is happening?

The sword glow keeps on increasing Gold strikes it one last time and the sword make a huge flash for a second.

Blacksmith: Ahh my eyes, give me the sword. Oh my God! What have you done. Look at its shape it's the most poor looking sword I have ever seen. Even it's edges are not sharp it can't even cut vegetables. It has cracks on its blade. How are you going to fight with it.

Gold: Give it to me.

Blacksmith: No I won't. I will break it down and make it again.

The blacksmith tries to break the sword but he couldn't.

Blacksmith: How is it not breaking? Even though it has so many cracks on it.

Then the blacksmith tries to melt the sword but the sword doesn't melt.

Blacksmith: What's up with this sword?

Gold forcibly takes the sword form the blacksmith and takes his leave.

Gold:( It worked. Yes! Now I must go and help Chief. Diamond can take care of the village.)

Gold calls for help and some birds gather around him.

Gold: Help me find someone.

Birds: why should we?

Gold: Please!

Birds: okay okay guess we could help you.

Gold leaves the village to look for Chief. Gold moves so fast across the forest that the birds struggle to keep up with him. One of the birds locates someone in the forest. When Gold reached there he saw Mickey covered in blood with one of his arm missing and one of his eyes had been taken out.

Gold: What happened to you Mickey? Hey answer me!

Mickey: Who is that?

Gold: Gold!

Mickey: Gold? What are you doing here Gold? Running away on your own?

Gold: What happened? And where are Chief and others?

Mickey: We made a mistake. We shouldn't have attacked so suddenly. The one leading them is not a General but a King.

Gold: A king? Seriously? But how? Goblin king is born every 500 years how is it possible for one to be here even though the last Goblin king was born only 300 years ago and killed 50 years ago.

Mickey: Vardaan! He got a Vardaan from Indra and became a king. He was just a regular goblin.

Gold: Why would Indra give Vardaan to a goblin?

Mickey: Indra would bless anyone who offers him enough sacrifices.

Gold: What about the sacrifices we give to him for the protection of this village?

Mickey: Compared to what the king gave its nothing. So Indra won't stop him from destroying our Village.

Gold: Where is Chief?

Mickey: Dead. He was strong so strong. He killed the general. But the king is a monster. He killed him and all the hunters, I wanted to die there too with honour but I had to run to keep my promise. But I got caught, they cut my arm and took one of my eyes and then told me to go and warn my Village that they will be attacked in a few days.

Gold: I will take you to the village, we have to warn everyone!

Mickey: No! I will go there myself! It's my duty to warn the village! My promise to the Chief! Gold you go on and prepare to beat the king. I know only you can beat him. King is not someone you can overpower and take head on. Even chief couldn't do anything. Which is why Diamond can't do it either. You have to find a way to beat him Gold!

Gold: No I can't leave you like this you are hurt so much, you won't be able to make it to the village alone.

Mickey: Don't worry about me. I am talented unlike you. My fire is is not easily extinguished. I can support my body with my fire. You go on or i will burn you.

Gold: Okay, I will. I promise I will kill the King. Don't die Mickey.

Mickey: ...... You too.

Gold goes on to scout the goblin army. As Gold finds their settlement two goblins locate him. Gold kills them instantly.

Gold: I can't stay here for long. These goblins are preparing for an attack but they won't start marching till tomorrow, that means they will reach the village in 4 days. We don't even have a week. As bad as Mickey's condition was he will for sure reach the village by night. Diamond will prepare for everything. Then what should I do?

Gold thinks for bit and then runs away from there.

In the village a man comes running towards Diamond.

Villager: Diamond come with me! It's Mickey he is hurt!

Diamond goes with the villager and finds Mickey in a very bad state.

Diamond: Mickey what happened? Where is father?

Mickey: Chief Dead........ Goblins attack in a few days.
