Chapter 23
The reawakening
“Sweet” said Krokon who approached from the behind and caught Ivan. He then held his sword at the neck of Ivan. The King and Caddernod apparated out of nowhere. Leofin kept the sword of delmany Warrymn in his belt attached to the place for the extra blade which usually was present in the patrol uniform he wore just besides his own sword.
“Leofin, son of Raddak.”
Leofin unsheathed his sword swiftly and advanced towards Krokon. But by seeing the slight blood drop formed by the sword at Ivan’s neck stopped temporarily. Leofin didn’t know what had to be done and stood there without moving.
Krokon said, “Now hand over your sword, warren Warrymn.”
“I am not the warren Warrymn.” said Leofin.
“Well maybe the ceremony…”
“The ceremony failed Krokon, now leave my friend alone.”
“Maybe not.”
An arrow flew towards Krokon and hit him at his sword and he was taken back in the air before he hit the ground as he and his sword were but one. Ivan was free and Caddernod locked Krokon with a spell.
“You were always second to me Krokon.” said the King.
A mist of darkness rose where Krokon was knocked down and Krokon burned in it. In no time Krokon’s whole body was burned and with it his sword. The Lady of Chaos appeared in front of Leofin from thin air saying, “Maybe you are right Severus, maybe Krokon was not fit.”
Colson who was hiding behind the walls, who had shot Krokon, came forward out of hiding and shot again but the Lady of chaos took hold of the arrow approaching her and broke it.
The Lady of chaos moved her hands upside and all the fighter’s weapons were turned against themselves of who were present in the cemetery. Many blade we moving in the air and some were placed at the necks of the King, Caddernod, Colson and Ivan. Leofin was left alone.
“You have not learnt Severus, the warren Warrymn is dead and your powers are incomplete without the union.”
The Lady of Chaos approached Leofin, touched his face with her two fingers, then his neck with an utter force chocking him then threw him to the ground.
“Now, now Leofin, I was observing you for long. Now hand me over the sword of warren Warrymn or you and your friends will die. Anyway the sword will be mine.”

“If you can get it on your own why should I…”
“No questions, now the sword.”
Leofin didn’t know what to do. Ivan lip-moved ‘don’t’ towards Leofin, so did Caddernod with a stare that had been locked from powers. Leofin finally thinking about Ivan handed over his sword.
But the Lady of Chaos didn’t accept it. “I needn’t need your sword Leofin but your father’s sword. Still he is the warren Warrymn.”
“I don’t know where it is.”
“Maybe. I thought you would be successful but you were always a failure. Now open the grave of your father and hand me the sword.”
“Why don’t you have the power to do so?”
“The seal is much more powerful than me I admit. Only you can unlock it. That is his blood which flows in your veins. We need a blood sacrifice Leofin, we need your blood on the grave which was given willingly.”
“I won’t do such a thing.”
The blade which was levitating in the air made a sharp cut on the hands of Ivan and blood flickered down his arms. Leofin got angry and charged with his sword but was knocked down again by the power of the Lady of chaos.
”Why? Why always me be the epicenter o sadness.” shouted Leofin out of the utter despair been built inside since childhood.
“It’s all about survival kid. Now do it.”
“No! Don’t do it. She can’t possibly kill us.” shouted the king.
Leofin took his sword and brought it to the veins of his left hand and made a slight cut. The blood dropped on the seal of the grave of Raddak the warren Warrymn, the stone above the grave broke.
The Lady of Chaos smiled, she approached the grave. She was in such a glee mode that all the levitating weapons dropped down. But all of them still stayed back because they knew exactly when they had to strike.
The Lady of the chaos approached the grave and looked inside the tomb. Inside the tomb there was nothing, no body, no sword. The smile on the face of the Lady vanished.
“Where have you moved the body and sword Severus.” shouted the Lady of Chaos.
The Lady of Chaos was about to attack them but was stopped by the sight that she saw. The blood had completely spread over the broken stone covering of the grave forming the shape of a sword. Then the blood rushed from outside the body from the stone of the grave to inside the body through the veins. Leofin still had the sword at his hand and instead of blood flowing down through the cut, it flew up, onto the sword, thus making it bath in blood. The blood completely returned to his body after the three cycles.
All of them were looking with a king of gleam in their face s a result of seeing something unknown and unexplainable to them. s
The wound healed. His eyes were closed in meditation and face showed peace.
Leofin’s body was there in the graveyard, his mind was with the Dimensioner and there stood his father Raddak and his mother Remeena along with the Charmlettros.
“Well done my son, you turned out as expected.” said Raddak.
“Father. Mother.”
“Heart and sacrifice, the sword was forged by me in that manner.” said the Dimensioner.
“And you were never dead.” said Leofin.
“No my son, we will talk of it later.” said Raddak.
“But Why?”
“Because many Lords had lost their power because of me, they were doing evil and I objected. They wanted you dead to teach me a lesson.”
“And you ran away.”
“No son, it’s not that. We were needed in other realms, somewhere more necessary. And you are successful.” said Remeena.
The Dimensioner approached Leofin saying, “Are you ready Leofin, to take over the realm, to protect it with your all might.”
“Did the world exist before you came into existence?”
“No, I was made first by the creator.”
“But how might that be.”
“I will give you explanations later. Now kneel.”
Leofin Kneeled down on what seemed noting. The Dimensioner nodded to Raddak who took his sword and touched Leofin’s saying, “I crown you the warren Warrymn of the realm of Demru, protect it with your might the right, other’s life with your life.”
Remeena came forwards and touched Leofin’s hand saying, “And the green magic shall always be with you for your help.”
“Well Leofin.” said the Charmlettros. “Now is high time to return. You have a war to fight and a world to save. I will grant you one more, many more meeting with your parents. And delmany Warrymns were made by us only.”
Leofin closed his eyes.
When Leofin opened his eyes, he was back in the graveyard. He tried to adjust to the situation, he tried to remember everything. The sword in his hand had changed colour and was red in colour now. He felt his energy return the way he felt when he was arguing with the King. The words of the dimensioner rung in his ears, “Heart and sacrifice, you have earned it.”
The Lady of Chaos had tries to use her power over Leofin but nothing affected Leofin. The King and Colson felt that their powers had replenished after a thousand years and fought the Lady with full might.
Leofin rose from the ground, sword in his hands, he came forward and he thrust himself in the air. A wave of energy spun around the castle for a second and it diminished. The Lady of Chaos had disappeared from there.
Leofin approached the King, bowed to the King, then to Colson. He said, “I am Leofin the warren Warrymn, I have blessings of Raddak my father, the former warren Warrymn.”
