City Of Orion
A middle aged man wearing a yellow suit and tall hat with peacock's feather on the right side is seen hastening his steps.
His face is sweaty and pale.with thin moustache and rounded red nose walking pass a crowded street is not an easy way with his round stomach ,because he had to hold his breath to walk through a small gap between crowded people who are enjoying a festival which be held today.
He keep strugling to get through the mass to reach his destination ,sometimes he looked at his pocket watch to make sure he is not late for the appointment . The pocket watch shows him the time "12.30" ,His face become pale and his arm became sweaty ,not because the heat of the sun neither the heat of people he came pass by .
He is nervous ,"Shit ....... I am late ....I am late ... " He push through the masses and when finally he see a narrow alleyway ,he took the chance to leap to that alleyway and end up falling on his stomach and dropping his precious pocket watch .
The people who witness that little incident thought that it was hilarious and start laughing at him ,for an overweight man with fancy yellow suit to land on his own stomach is quite amusing .However the man himself did not find that incident funny at all ,"How insolent ... for a peasant to laugh at a royal family " .He gets up and start fixing his hat and quickly grab his pocket watch ,he keep walking until finally found the sign of a bar in the alleyway ,and decided to enter the bar after fixing his appearance one more time .
He enters the bar with a manner that befit a royal family while glancing to the bar visitors which saw him with hatred .He smirks "Lowlife" He said with smirk and approaching one of the visitor who has a big and muscular body. "Boris... My Old Friend " He greets the big man with a wide smile and hugs him ,That big man is not impressed by his action and responds coldly . "You made Him wait ,how insolent even for a royal family that is not forgivable ".The man in fancy suit gulps and speak nervously "He is already here ?" ,The Muscular man who is called Boris nodding at the man with fancy suit .He Thanks Boris and walk to the back of bar, and there stands a man wearing black robe with the hood on , He lets the fancy suited man to follow him to a room with a single wooden door .Both of them stand silently in front of that room,then suddenly the door opened by itself.
The hooded man allows the fancy suit man to enter the room "Come in , He's waiting for you " Said the hooded man .
The fancy suited man enter the room and the door closed behind him by itself making his heart beating up fast ."Damn i am still not used with this kind of thing " He thought to himself .It was dark and pitch black inside the room there is not a single lamp or candle being lit .

"Marcus..... " A voice is heard inside the room echoing through the wall and giving a chill to fancy suited man spine .At first he was shocked to hear and even asking himself to make sure whether the voice which called him is real or not.
"Marcus...." That voice is heard again .This time he is sure whoever said the word is near and perhaps right now is in fact still inside this dark room .He is familiar with this voice but can't guess the exact position of the one who called for him just now ,One thing for sure that he already knew whose voice it was, it was the voice of the one who already summon him .
The Fancy suited man understood and kneeling down immediately ."Yes... Grand Master ,It is I Marcus Maximilian answering your summoning "
"How brave of you to become tardy in time of crisis " The Voice is echoing through the wall again
"I beg your forgiveness ,Grand Master ... It's not my intention " Marcus lowering his head in fear.
"What's your reason Marcus ?" The Voice asked
"I have no reason that could pleased you M'Lord " Marcus replied
"Very well ... You must understand the reason why i summon you ?" The Voice asked again
"Yes.... I do, M'Lord it's about the Holy Knight of Alexander's latest movement " Marcus replied again while holding something inside his pocket .
"Correct... They're as bothersome as ever ,sniffing up everything as they please,we can't let them keep doing this " The Voice Agreeing with him
" You can rest assured Grand Master, for i already anticipated their movement and preparing a plan to finish them once for all " Marcus replied calmly while taking a white scrolls from his pocket .
Marcus then putting the scroll on the floor and let it roll in front of him and saw it dissapear suddenly like it was taken by another inside the room or taken by the darkness itself .
"What's this ?" The voice asked curiously
"It's a letter from the great king of mountain M'Lord " Said Marcus
There was a silence for a while and then following the silence a great laughter could be heard echoing through the empty room .
"Very well ,because of the content of this letter i will spare your life ,Marcus ...."The voice said
Marcus sigh a relief ,he thought he was gonna die the moment he leaves the room after this
"However ,if what the letter said isn't true be prepared to forfeit your life "The Voice warned marcus
Marcus froze in kneeling position after hearing that word ,he knew the Grand Master isn't that easy to believe in almost anything ,so he must be ready to make sure his plan work flawlessly .
After giving some warning ,the voice disappear completely and the lamp and candle being lit again filling the room with a dim light Marcus finaly feels relaxes .The whole situation before this put too much pressure on him to the point where he wishes he was a seaweed .He stands up finaly after the fatigue disappear from his head .
He opened the door and walk out the room with determination to make sure his plan work flawlessly or his head will be served on silver plate next time .He walk with his heart at ease knowing the fact that his life is saved and guaranted that no one in the association at least will hurt him for now . He left the bar and joining other people in the streets to enjoy the festival to celebrate the birth day of the great king of Alamore,Alexander .
However the joyous day and happy atmosphere from the festival can't last for a long time ,because a great storm is about to hit The Kingdom of Alamore .
