Chapter 3 KNOWING HISTORY

The bird returned to Zussorader and stood on his hand. Zussorader looked into the eyes of the bird and saw all that the bird has seen and heard.

Zussorader smiled and said to the bird ''you have done a great job my dear'', then he kissed the bird.

Zussorader faced the mercenaries and said to them ''the bird has located where the mind crystal will be because that is where the light army is guarding which means that is where the mind crystal will be.

We will be going into Lythridite and finding a way to infiltrate the palace, and in that meantime I want everyone should be on their best behavior. No one should act without any order from me or Philip.

Sooner or later we will be facing the light army, don't underestimate them they are more powerful than what you see and can only be killed in the heart. Is that clear?''.

''Yes'' said the mercenaries (in union).

LYTHRIDITE

King James continued ''then the five crystals were given to each kingdom to protect and Marcelos was put to an eternal sleep.

The reason why I told you all of this is because you have come of age to know about all this, and every royal blood in each kingdom knows about this story even the wizards.

And again you will be my successor one day'' said King James.

''Thanks for trusting me father'' said Princess Tracy with a smile.

''You are the only daughter and child I have, if I don't believe in you or trust you, my princess, then who should I trust then'' said King James with a smile.

''Thank you, Father. There is something I need to ask you father'' said princess Tracy.

''What that?'' asked King James.

''Who are those guards that are outside, have never seen them before and they look different to the other guards'' said princess Tracy.

King James smiled and said '' that is why I love you, you never let anything get past you.

They are no guards they are called the Light army''.

''I heard you mentioning them before'' said princess Tracy.

''Yes. They were created by King Hope from a powerful stone which was created by King Hope and the wizards of then, but the stone now lies in a crystal and is called the light crystal.

They were once human like us before they volunteer to be made immortal so they can protect the kingdoms against evil forces that may rise against the kingdoms'' said King James.

''How old do you think they are?'' asked princess Tracy.

''I have no idea, but they are very old. Back then, before the reign of King Damon, the light army can only be seen in Axrax because that is where the first king reside, but after Marcelos was defeated and the five crystals were given to the four Kingdoms.

King Damon commanded five light army soldiers to each kingdom to guard and protect the crystal from falling into the hands of evil.

One more thing, the light army can only be controlled and commanded by the king of Axrax'' said King James.

''Why can the light army only be controlled and commanded by the kings of Axrax, not other kings?'' asked princess Tracy.

''The kings of Axrax are from the bloodline of magic, magic runs in their blood just like their forefather King Hope but other kings don't, that's why we also call them the great king.

After the light army was created, King Hope created a ring and link it to the soul of the light army, and whosoever wore the ring will have control over the light army, they will also be linked to the light army and the ring has been passed down through generations.

If you were to wear the ring, you must have magic or else you will be enslaved by the ring'' said King James.

''So everything with power has a negative and positive side'' said princess Tracy.

''I guess so. That will be enough for today, let's return" said King James.

NIGHT

Zussorender and the two royal princes got to Zussorender's house, and they all came down from the wagon. The two royal princes were confused and surprised upon seeing Zussorender's house, a small house.

''How come you live in this kind house, master?'' Noah asked Zussorender as Zussorender was busy packing his things from the wagon.

''Get your things and meet me inside now'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes and made his way in.

The two royal princes entered the Zussorender's house with their belongings and saw Zussorender, his wife (Lythia), and a 9-year-old kid (Gabriel) sited at the dining table.

''Show them their room so they can drop their belongings and don't take their belongings from them'' said Zussorender to his wife.

''Drop your things and come back to eat'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes.

Lythia stood up and said to the two royal princes ''follow me'', then they followed her.

The two royal princes returned to the dining table and met Zussorender and his family waiting for their return so they could all eat.

The two royal princes sat down and were served food.

As they were all eating, Lythia asked the two prince ''am sorry to ask this, what are your names?''.

''Why sorry, we will gladly tell you our name. we are the princes of Axrax'' said Noah.

''I know you both are the prince of Axrax'' said Lythia.

''Okay. My name is Noah and my brother's name is Ramsay'' said Noah.

''Master sorry to ask this, you are the wizard of Axrax which makes you the greatest wizard of all wizards, but I don't get why you will be living in this place and this small house'' said Noah to Zussorender.

Zussorender and Lythia looked at each other, then Zussorender looked at Noah and said to the two royal princes ''First lesson boys, don't ask questions from strangers''.

''But you are not a stranger, you are our master'' said Noah.

''Then don't ask me a question that doesn't relate to your training'' said Zussorender (annoyed).

''there is something I need to ask master'' said Ramsay to Zussorender.

''What's that I hope it relates to your training'' said Zussorender.

''Ever since we arrived in your home, I haven't seen anyone that comes in or out. I thought wizards teach someone with the magical power to become wizards like them, but I haven't seen any apprentice of yours around or do you send them on an errand'' said Ramsay.

''I don't have any apprentice and no more questions'' said Zussorender (now angry).

''But....'' said Noah.

Noah was cut short of words as Zussorender cut in ''dinner is over'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes.

''But we are not done eating'' said Noah.

Zussorender made the two royal princes' food rotten with his magic and said ''now you are done eating, go to your room''.

The two royal princes couldn't say anything but looked at Zussorender like someone crazy.

''Come your highnesses'' said Lythia to the two royal princes.

''This is my home, your title, and power do not exist here, and Lythia you shall address them by their name'' said Zussorender, then the two princes followed Lythia.

King of James of Lythridite sent a letter to King Raynold saying that he will like his permission to raise more army and improve the standard of the armies.

Zussorader, Philip, and the mercenaries entered Lythridite dressed as merchants, Zussorader changed his staff to just an ordinary stick.

They began to live in Lythridite as a merchant who sells drugs and clothing, at the same time getting information about Lythridite's palace. Zussorader also sent the bird to get a clear view of everything and the security of the palace.
