Chapter 5 LEARNING MAGIC II

MORNING

Ramsay and Noah were the first to wake up in the house, they both came out of the house and tried lifting the stone they have been unable to lift for the past few days.

Zussorender woke up and went to check on the two royal princes in their room but didn't see them, then Zussorender ran outside the house with the thought that the two royal princes might have run away.

On getting outside the house, Zussorender was relieved to see them training. Zussorender cleared his throat making them notice him.

The two royal princes stopped what they were doing and said to Zussorender (in a union) ''good morning master''.

''Morning'' said Zussorender, then the two royal princes faced the stone back.

Zussorender went to the two royal princes and stood in their midst. Zussoreender lifted the stone that was placed beside his chair with his magic and brought it to them, then placed it beside the two stones that the two royal princes were trying to lift.

Zussorender said to the two royal princes ''am sure you both know I don't need to say a word or stretch forth my hand before I need to do or move things with my magic and that is because I have mastered it.

Magic is what you are born with, it is something that lives inside of you, something that wants to be let out not kept inside.

Also, remember this while you let it out, you must be the master of it not it being your master.

Now do exactly what I told you to. Stand upright (the two royal princes did), close your eyes, and breathe slowly (the two royal princes did). Now look inside of you and find your magic'' said Zussorender.

As their eyes were closed and they breathe in and out slowly, the two royal princes suddenly felt a great power surging through their bodies.

''l can feel it'' said Noah (excited) to Zussorender.

''I can also'' said Ramsay (happily) to Zussorender.

''Now open your eyes and direct that energy that you are feeling into your hands.

Let it flow through your hands and then release it toward the stone with the intention of what you want the energy to do to the stone'' said Zussorender to the two royal princes.

The two royal princes did as instructed and were surprised to see the stone lifted by both of them.

They release their magic through their hands as their hands were stretched forward toward the stones.

Noah (smiling) said to Zussorender ''we did it, master''.

''I guess we did'' said Ramsay happy but trying not to show it.

''Thank you master, so we really did have magic'' said Noah.

''You shouldn't get too excited, you still have much to learn. If you are patient enough, you will learn everything you need to learn'' said Zussorender.

''Wow, we did it'' said Noah happily (smiling).

THREE DAYS LATER (AXRAX)

King Raynold and other kings gathered in the palace hall of Axrax, King James of Lythridite, King Marcus of Domitrus, King Michel of Samuzia, and King Josh of Micapus.

King Raynold sat on his throne, while the other four kings sat on chairs facing King Raynold.

''Welcome your majesties. I thank you all for answering my call'' said King Raynold to the kings.

''The pleasure is ours your royal majesty'' said King Michel.

"I summoned you all here concerning King James' request'' said King Raynold.

''What was his request your royal majesty?'' asked King Josh.

''If you don't mind King James, tell them what your request was'' said King Raynold to King James.

''Yes your royal majesty'' said King James (with a bow) to King Raynold.

''Your majesties, I request that I want permission from the great king to be able to improve the standard of the army and raise more army'' said King James to the Kings.

''You all heard him, that is why I summoned you all to hear your opinion and advice on his request'' said King Raynold to the kings.

''You must not allow that your royal majesty'' said King Michel to King Raynold.

''And why is that?'' King James asked King Michel.

''If we start to raise an army now, they will be confusion among the people. They might even panic thinking a war is coming, we can't let that happen'' said King Michel to King Raynold.

''I agree with King James, your royal majesty. We have been enjoying peace for a long time now and we all know nothing last forever.

Raising more armies and improving the standard of the army is like preparing for the future which is yet to come.

And again I dream about Marcelos once in a while that he was awakened'' said King Marcus to King Raynold.

''Is that true, do you really dream about Marcelos?'' King James asked King Marcus but he gave no response.

''Do you dream about Marcelos King Marcus'' King Raynold asked King Marcus.

''Yes your royal majesty'' said King Marcus.

''Your royal majesty, we can't raise an army because of a dream or based on their thoughts. We all know King Marcus like war which is what resulted in the leaving of the Varlyn and their army of Nylin, which wasn't supposed to be'' said King Josh to King Raynold.

''That's not true. Those beasts called Nylin are not supposed to live among humans, they fed on my people'' said King Marcus (annoyed) to King Josh

''No one knows if they truly fed on your people because you wage war on them before we could investigate the matter'' said King Josh to King Marcus.

King Marcus smirked and said ''am I just supposed to do nothing when they fed on my people''.

King Josh stood up and said to King Raynold ''your royal majesty, the Varlyn people are people who lived together in peace with Great King Hope, and during those times there was nothing bad recorded in history about them and their Nylins.

But your royal majesty banished their Nylins from the kingdoms and because of that, the Varlyn have to leave with their Nylins since they couldn't part with them.

Am not questioning your judgment your royal majesty but we didn't investigate the matter because King Marcus keep on insisting they killed his people which might not be true and now he is suggesting we create disturbance and panic among the people.

There is no need for us to raise more army, we are not at war but we can improve their standard, and again each kingdom has 500 thousand armies except Axrax which has 1 million and five hundred thousand, I see no reason for us to raise more army your royal majesty'', King Josh sat down back.

''Your royal majesty, it is true that we have enjoyed peace for a long time now, but I think it is time we start planning for the future.

We all know it is impossible to fully eradicate evil and evil lurk in the darkness waiting for the time we fully let down our guards and then attack with its full strength. That is why we need to start planning the future not when the future comes.

We can't also expect Marcelos to be condemned to sleep forever, who knows they might even be people planning in secret to wake him up. We need to start taking precautions for the future now, your royal majesty''' said King James to King Raynold.

''Well, you are all right one way or the other, but I won't give my command now.

I want you all to return to your kingdom and discussed with your council member on this matter then let me know what you have all decided on'' said King Raynold to the King.

''Yes, your royal majesty'' said all the Kings in union.
