PROLOGUE
Do you know what misery feels like?
Have you ever experienced torturous excruciating pains?
Do you have an idea of what hell and darkness is all about?
No?... Well there's someone who knows what it all entails...
Ramona Camelot, that's her name, a slave in the deep dungeon of Baal palace.
Baal is an empire of supernatural beings that has been existing since thousands of years ago.
Powerful sages, ruthless sorcerers and sorceresses, dark and pure witches and wizards, werewolves, foxes and demons are the major inhabitants, humans are not much.
The kings were always chosen by the heavens every year during the month of dryness .... A king only rules for one year.
king only rules for one year.
Month of dryness is the last month of the year
The first king who got chosen by the process ten years ago (King Alan) was the only one who died without completing his reign, and the cause of his death is his favorite daughter's death....
Princess Elena.
Princess Elena was killed gruesomely by Ramona, and that was why Ramona got locked up as a slave in the dungeon.
Not just an ordinary slave, a royal s*x slave who becomes a s*x toy to every king that reigns, gets tortured everyday, gets hellish punishments every moment.
She has been in the dungeon since she was 18, and now she's clocking 28 soon.
Nine kings f**ked her already, but none is as wicked as the current king.. King Logan McCarthy.
He's the perfect definition of cruel and devilish, but in all, he's a crazily powerful supernatural, a wizard who can uproot the whole world if he likes.
He has a queen and a son, and more than hundred mistresses, but none of the mistresses satisfy his hard s*x drive like Ramona does.
He f**ks Ramona at every chance he gets, and when it comes to torture, he tortures her the most.
King Logan got chosen last year, and his reign will be over this year, but he's not even ready to leave the throne.
He consulted his Oracle, and he found out that no man will be able to make it rain this year except one.... His junior brother who he hates so much.... Arthur McCarthy.
Who's Arthur? The most ruthless supernatural in Baal empire who's feared by the others.
His eyes are always grim, too scary to look into. His expression is always piercing cold, His voice echoes authority anytime he speaks. He's a freaking demigod, the guardian of Dove forest.
The only way for Logan to rule for another year is to stop Arthur from coming to the king-choosing festival.
Will this be possible?
Will Logan be able to stop Arthur?
What'll happen at the festival?
Is Ramona really responsible for princess Elena's death?
Will she ever be free?
Find out!
The smokes coming from Logan's smoking pipe formed a thick cloud in the wide rich room as he smoked devilishly.
He's totally naked on his bed, surrounded by four of his mistresses.
The mistresses are all naked too, and they're all busy.
One is massaging his toes, the second one is massaging his shoulders, the third one has his d**k in her mouth, blowing it like a flute.
Logan is playing harshly with the b**bs of the fourth one, pressing it as if to make it burst.
His eyes never moved from the space he's staring into. The terrifying and petrifying eyes of the devil, color ash.
The one sucking his d**k was doing it so fast.
She was rubbing the shaft professionally as she navigated the long thing in and out of her mouth, her @ss shooting up sinfully as she buried her face in his thighs.
Logan blew another thick cloud of smokes out of his mouth, and a dark smirk followed.
He should be feeling immense pleasure from the sucking right now, but it's just not coming.
His eyes beamed red as he took the pipe out of his mouth slowly.
"Head up" his husky inhumane voice boomed, and the lady took his d**k out of her mouth shakily.
She looked up slowly, but immediately their eyes met, Logan removed the hairpin in her hair and sunk it deeply into her throat, slitting it without a second thought.
Her blood splashed on his face as she went down on the ground.
"Take over" he ordered the one he was pressing her b**bs.
She tremblingly lowered her head to his d**k and started sucking faster than the dead one.
The other two massagers started shaking with fear. It's not sure that anyone will go out of this room alive right now.
Logan suddenly grabbed the hair of the sucker and pulled it away from his d**k.
"Y..y.. our... majesty" she stuttered in all fearfulness, and he rolled his eyes about.
"Your mouth feels too loose on me, it's useless" he said.
"I'm so sorry your majesty!, Please give me another chance I promise to do it right and...
That was all she could say before Logan covered her mouth with his left palm, and by the time he took his hand away, her mouth disappeared already.
Only the eyes and nose were left on her face.
He pushed her down from the bed, and she went unconcious immediately.
He ordered the one massaging his legs to take over, but immediately she held the d**k, he sent her to the wall with his eyes.
Her body flew to the wall, and immediately it hit the wall, her head cracked, and she fell down dead.
Her blood began flowing like a river.
"If you'd love to see another minute, get out!!!" He yelled at the last one, and she ran out of the room, bumping into Kyle who was just coming in.
Kyle is his personal bodyguard.
"Your majesty, the ministers are ready in the court, for the meeting" he bowed, and Logan smirked.
"Do I need to tell you what I want right now?, Forget about the darned ministers and bring Ramona to me!" He yelled.
Kyle took another bow and left the room immediately.
"My dogs should feast on these bodies" Logan muttered, and three wild dogs appeared in the room immediately.
Each took one of the dead bodies, and they vanished with them.
•••
Immediately the door made creaking sounds, Ramona's heart jumped into her mouth.
It's time for today's hellishness again, she has been expecting it.
She has a black blindfold on her eyes, it has been there since she was locked up ten years ago.
She has never seen sunshine or the moon, not to talk of humans, the blindfold has never been removed.
Her two hands and legs were chained with heavy metal chains, then her neck.
Is her body something to talk about? No.
It's full of wounds, scars, bruises, burns and boils from daily torture.
Her nails are all dirty, and her smelly hair covered a big part of her face.
The only place she's allowed to wash everyday is her p*ssy, since it's the only useful place.
She's wearing only a short skirt which barely covered her @ss, and her b**bs were covered by just a thin piece of clothe. She's a perfect example of pitiful.
The metal door finally opened, and Amazon came in.
Amazon is the leader of the dungeon guards, a lady.
She unlocked the chains on Ramona's legs and arms, then she pulled her out of the dungeon like a dog with the chain on her neck.
Kyle was waiting outside, so she handed her to him.
Kyle pulled her out completely, and the walk to king Logan's chamber started.
She's barefooted, and as she walked, the sharp lawn stones penetrated into her foot, hurting her badly.
She can't avoid them since she can't see as a result of the blindfold.
Till they got to the suite, the unbearable cold palace air kept hitting her exposed skin, and she started shaking with cold.
Kyle opened the door and pushed her in before shutting it, leaving her at the mercy of the king.
Logan was still naked, and his fat d**k was still bouncing as he stood.
Ramona got on her knees immediately, and she started crawling forward, searching for him with her hands.
Logan smiled wickedly as he watched her search frantically.
After two minutes of the search, she finally found him.
"You wasted my time!, You deserve to die!" He barked and slapped her cheek with his d**k
"Ahh!" She gasped painfully, her dried pale lips stinging.
Her cheek swelled up immediately, hurting so much as Logan touched her with his fingertips.
Electric currents passed through her body immediately, and her life started shaking.
"Aaarggg!!!!!" She screamed so loud, trembling as he kept electrocuting her.
She shed blood instead of tears, and he only released her after three minutes.
The cold flew off already, so she took the d**k into her mouth and started sucking vigorously despite the pains flowing through her bloodstream.
She was sucking like her life depended on it, and the cap hit her throat at each thrust, her warm mouth made it sweeter.
"Urrgg!" Logan grunted huskily, grabbing her hair roughly as he started getting the pleasure he wanted.
Ramona took him to the next level when she deep-throat it, making the tip get stuck in her throat.
"F**k!" He groaned in pleasure, holding her hair tighter as his fluid shot directly into her throat.
She swallowed it immediately. The millionth one she swallowed.
He removed his d**k and she stood, then she stripped herself of her skirt and b**bs cover, she walked to the bed easily.
She's used to it since she gets f**ked here at least thrice everyday by a monster she has never seen his face.
Immediately she lay on the bed, Logan came straight on top and buried himself inside her in the hardest thrust ever.
"Noo!!!!!" She screamed, her whole body vibrating painfully.
Immediately he thrusted, blood ran out of her nose and mouth, and he started f**king her torturously.
"No please!!, No!!"
"Arrggghhhhhh!!!!"
Each thrust made her p*ssy widen, and each bang made her intestines intertwine.
It's as if tons of chilli pepper was poured down there, and blood kept escaping her nose.
She was dying, but he even loves it that way, all he cares about it the pleasure he's getting, she deserves every ounce of pain she's getting.
She killed a princess anyways, she should face the consequences.
Logan was ready to make her bleed till death, cos at the twentieth thrust, she started bleeding from the vagina, and her stomach started aching hellishly.
Instead of sweating normally, she started sweating blood.
Her body heated up, and the d**k started feeling like mallet inside her. She was in hell already.
"Have pity!!!"
"AHHHHH!!!!"
Screams on screams, but Logan only hardened his bones, making sure her blood wasted in the right amount.
"Torture time!, Order from the queen dowager!" A guard announced from the door, and Logan stopped the f**k.
"Heard that?" he smiled devilishly and pulled out of her roughly.
Ramona stood weakly and started searching the ground for her skirt.
Logan kicked it to her, and she quickly put it on.
She covered her b**bs and Kyle came in.
She was taken out, and she kept walking like she's bow legged cos of what Logan just did.
Her p*ssy was still bleeding, and the blood ran down her thighs as she walked.
They got to the torture ground, and she was tied to a chair.
Two more people were brought out. Sally her blind mother and Reggie her junior brother.
They were arrested together with her ten years ago, and they look just as haggard as her.
While she was locked in the dungeon, they were locked in the prisoner's cell, and they receive tortures too. Everyday.
"Big sis!" Reggie called, crying hard as she saw her.
"Ramona" Sally muttered, looking pitiful as she was tied to a chair too.
Reggie was also tied to a chair, and the guards got the water and the whips.
The queen dowager appeared with her two daughters. Princess Shakira and princess Alice.
Queen dowager is princess Elena's mother, so Alice and and Shakira are Elena's senior sisters.
They all sat on royal chairs, watching from there.
King Logan entered the place, rolling his eyes around as usual as the guards around bowed.
He looked at the whips and smirked.
"Get larger ones" he said, sitting on his seat.
Larger whips were gotten, and a bowl of water was poured on Ramona and Reggie, then Sally.
"Start the torture" Logan ordered, and the guards got the whips.
They started whipping their backs, and their cries filled the whole place.
"I didn't kill Princess Elena!!!!" Ramona cried agonizingly.
"Aarrgg!!!!" Reggie screamed together with Sally as another lash landed on their backs.
•••
The forest is as silent as a graveyard, no sign of life, and no other building except Arthur's house.
It was surrounded with tangerine trees, and the leaves doesn't seem affected by the blowing wind.
Arthur is currently in his bathroom, sitting gently in the bathtub while resting his back on its wall.
His eyes are closed, and his handsomeness is reflecting in the water as he sat still, not moving a lid.
Suddenly, he opened his eyes, and it shone gold as a mighty snake spranged out of the water in front of him.
He caught the neck in his palm, his golden eyes shone beautifully.
"Serpent?" He muttered hoarsely, tightening his grip on it's neck.
He smirked with the right corner of his lips, and the snake burned to ashes immediately.
The ashes blew away with the air, and Mandela came in.
Mandela is his servant, but more like a friend.
"Another serpent?" He asked.
"They never get tired of unlucky visits" Arthur replied dryly.
"The moon is coming out tonight"
"Get the chains ready" Arthur replied, facing him.
"I can't smell Mikaela around" he said.
Mikaela is his ten years old daughter. A witch.
"She must be in the woods again" Mandela replied.
"Find her" Arthur said, and he left instantly.
•••
Immediately Mikaela stepped into the flower path, all the flowers withered and died, and all the birds that flew past her fell and died too.
Her black robe flowed around, and her long black hair was reaching her @ss.
As everything died, she was smiling like a witch that she is.
Witnessing deaths makes her happy, especially if it's a human.
She suddenly stopped walking when she smelt a human around.
"Human?" She sniffed the air.
She inhaled the scent till it filled up her head, and she vanished, then she reappeared in front of a young human boy who's playing with his cat.
The boy looked up, and she smiled slowly.
"Give me the cat" she said, and he quickly stood, hugging the cat to himself.
"No it's mine" he said, and she smirked.
"No one turns me down"
She strangled the cat with her eyes, and it fell down dead from the hands of the boy.
Mikaela smiled, and his eyes widened fearfully, he started shifting back.
"Now it's your turn" Mikaela spat and raised him off the ground with a finger.
She hit his back on the nearest tree, and his backbone split into two immediately.
"Mikaela!!!" Mandela shouted from behind.
•••
The torture was still going on, and the cries of agony from the whole family was still on.
Princess Alice closed her eyes tightly, unable to watch anymore.
Princess Shakira smiled, resting back on her chair.
The queen dowager has a blank look on her face as she watched, but deep inside her, she's wishing she could kill them all at once.
King Logan was smirking while rolling his eyes as usual.
"Argghhhhh!!!!!"
"I didn't kill Princess Elena!!!"
Their cries of agony came again.
Prince Jonathan was watching from the terrace of his suite, and he folded his fists tightly, fighting back his tears.
He's king Logan's only son.
"Gawd" he muttered, tears slipping out of his eyes.
When he couldn't take it anymore, he made to go down the terrace, but Queen Beth blocked him.
She's his mother, Logan's queen.
"She deserves all the punishment, she killed a princess" she said, and Jonathan snickered.
"She has been paying for the sin with her family since ten years ago!, This is the height of wickedness!" He replied stubbornly and started leaving again.
Queen Beth held him, but he shook her off and she fell on the ground.
"Jonathan!" She called, but he didn't stop till he got to the ground.
"Stop!!!" He ordered the guards, and their hands stopped moving.
"Jonathan get out!" Princess Shakira yelled.
"I won't!, Tell the guards to stop the torture!" He yelled back.
"Jonathan!" The queen dowager shouted angrily.
"Stop the torture!" He yelled back fearlessly, facing princess Alice.
"I know you're not like them, please stop them" he said, and Alice swallowed hard.
He looked at Logan's seat, but he's not there anymore.
No one even knew when Logan got to him cos he moved with the wind.
He grabbed Jonathan's neck and pushed his back to the wall.
The wall cracked as a result, and Jonathan bled from the mouth.
"Fa...ther" he stuttered.
Logan spread his palm as his eyes shone red angrily, and his sword appeared on his palm.
He placed it on Jonathan's neck, and it penetrated immediately, blood came out.
"Your Majesty?!!!Queen Beth cried
Reggie came to a standstill, and his eyes widened when a figure appeared in front of him.
Amazon!
"Why did you stop?" Ramona asked fearfully.
"We got caught" Reggie replied, and Sally came down from his back slowly.
More than twenty palace guards surrounded them in another minute, and Reggie took both Ramona and Sally's hand.
He held them tight as Amazon started coming closer.
She finally got to them and raised her hand to slap him. Reggie closed his eyes, expecting it, but it didn't come, so he opened his eyes slowly.
Amazon's hand was already down.
"Arrest them" she ordered, and three guards came closer to them.
Ramona started crying bitterly as they started tying their hands behind them.
After the tying, the guards started leading them back to the palace.
Reggie clenched his fists, getting everything that just happened.
King Logan's plan was to deceive them with freedom, and it worked.
Immediately they left the forest, someone landed on the spot they were arrested from, and when his face came to view, it turned out to be Arthur.
He made to move forward, but the smell of fresh blood drew him back.
He squatted on the spot and touched the blood with his fingers, then he looked up blankly.
•••
Ramona and her family were tied to poles immediately they arrived, and the look of hopelessness covered their faces like veils.
Fear filled their trembling breaths, and the smell of pains hung in the air.
Princess Shakira appeared with the queen dowager, and Shakira went closer to Ramona first.
She slapped her hard on the right cheek. "Ahh!" Ramona spit blood.
Shakira slapped her again, and she spit out blood again.
The slaps continued till the tenth one, and Ramona's nose started bleeding too.
"Stop!!!!" Reggie screamed tearfully, and the queen dowager walked to him.
"And why should she stop?, Criminal" she glared, holding his face roughly.
"His majesty took us into the forest, we didn't escape by ourselves" he replied, and the queen dowager slapped him
"AHH!" He gasped.
"How dare you lie on his majesty after trying to escape with Cobra's help!" She spat.
"Cobra never came!, It wasn't Cobra!, His majesty did it!" Reggie shouted, and the queen dowager stretched forth her right palm.
A dagger appeared on it, and just when she tried shoving it into his belly, Princess Alice appeared and held her hand.
"Mother, please don't" she begged, and the queen dowager sent her far away with her eyes.
Alice landed on the ground, wounding her elbows.
"Ouch!, Mother!"
"How dare you beg for a sinner who killed your sister!"
King Logan came in with Kyle, and everyone bowed.
His arms were crossed behind him as he walked in front of everyone of them.
"My toy, you think you can run away from me?, Never" he chuckled, holding Ramona's chin.
"You son of a bastard!, How could you release us just so you could have fun!, F**k your existence!" Reggie shouted stubbornly, and all eyes widened.
"Reggie no" Ramona trembled.
"I'm not scared of you!, Just kill me if you want!, The truth is you're not as powerful as you claim!, You're just an insecure bastard who's jealous of his junior brother!" Reggie said again.
"Reggie stop!!!" Ramona shouted, and Logan super sped to him.
He shoved the dagger from earlier into his belly, and his blood wet the ground immediately.
"Aarrgg!!!" He cried painfully.
"Reggie!, Reggie are you ok?, Reggie!" Sally shouted.
Logan removed the dagger roughly, and Reggie puked blood.
"I'm still the king, how dare you talk down at me" he muttered ragingly, and Reggie just kept vomiting blood.
Jonathan was watching from his terrace, and his fists were folded as usual. Tears were coming out of his eyes.
The truth is, he can no absolutely nothing to stop this.
His mother is a human, and Logan is a wizard, and that makes him an half human, half wizard, so he'd never be strong enough to face Logan. Never!
From the kitchen balcony, Felix and Amy were watching too, and as Reggie bled, Amy felt tears wetting her eyes.
"Getting emotional?" Felix smiled.
"Don't smile, please" Amy sniffed, wiping the tears before they'd fall.
Amazon folded her fists as she watched from the middle of the guards too. Her fists were shaking.
"They were saying you released them" Shakira said.
"Really?, Not Cobra?" Logan smiled, walking away from Reggie.
"What do we do to them, mother?" Shakira asked the queen dowager.
"They committed three sins, first was trying to escape, second was talking down on the throne, and third was lying on the king" the queen dowager said.
"Electrocute Ramona till she sees the spirit of death" Logan said, and Ramona started crying again.
"And as for the other two, beat them till they feel like dying" the queen dowager said.
Shakira smiled satisfactorily, and Alice watched pitifully. She's totally helpless.
The electrocuting wire was connected to Ramona's metal pole, then water from the kitchen was poured on Sally and Reggie.
The wire was hammered, and it started sending currents to the pole.
Ramona started trembling as the currents passed through her body, and her life started shaking as usual.
Her teeth was clattering, and she couldn't even scream as her blood escaped every hole in her body.
Her life flashed countless times, and it stood on the brim.
The right name for this is surely abyss, HELL.
Reggie was crying slowly as he watched her sister getting electrocuted, and that made him remember the sweet moments ten years ago.
"I have the prettiest sister in the whole world" he'd always say.
"And my Reggie is the most handsome guy in Baal" she'd reply after giving him a peck, and a happy laughter will follow.
"Ramona!!!!!" He screamed as the first lash of the whip landed on his back.
"Ramona!!!" Sally screamed too as she also got a lash.
Jonathan let out more tears as he watched, and he suddenly felt an hand on his shoulder.
He looked up to see it's queen Beth.
"Mo...mo.. ther" he stuttered tearfully, and she hugged his face to her chest.
"All will he well, Jonathan"
•••
All the ministers were already waiting when Logan stepped into the court.
The last time he met with the ministers was middle last year. All his time was always spent torturing Ramona or being with his mistresses.
"Bow to his majesty!" The guard by the door shouted, and they all bowed fearfully.
"Greetings!, Your royal majesty!" They chorused as he walked past them, his blue robe looking so s*xy on him.
He was wearing the supernatural crown, and that even added to his s*xiness.
His wickedness apart, he's a freaking handsome devil.
He smiled as he sat on the throne, and the ministers looked up.
"I'll finally be leaving today, it's been a long year" he said.
"The festival is starting in an hour's time" the minister of war said.
"How many of the participants gathered already?"
"Twenty out of thirty, your majesty" another minister replied, and Logan smiled again.
"Feels good to reign over Baal for one long year, and I'll happily handover to the winner of the festival" he said, and they all bowed their heads again.
Logan rested back on the throne, and his smiled turned to a smirk.
"Leaving is not my thing" he muttered.
•••
Amazon just finished taking her bath, and she stood in front of the mirror before taking the towel away from her tummy.
The pipe Logan threw at her tummy last night created a big wound, and it hurts like hell.
She was cringing in pains as she applied a white healing power on it, then she wrapped bandage around it and put on a black shirt.
She hasn't put on her pants when Bolt came in.
He's the deputy head guard of the dungeon, her assistant.
"Strong woman got hurt, so sorry" he said, and she ignored him as she started putting on her pants.
Immediately she finished putting it on, he turned her to himself and kissed her.
She responded immediately, holding him tightly as their tongues battled shortly, but when he tried to grab her b**bs, she broke it.
"I'm wounded, not now" she said and he sighed before pulling her into a hug.
"I'm sorry, I got carried away" he said. She pulled away from the hug.
"Does it hurt a lot?" He asked, holding her face
"Not that much" she replied, and he kissed her lips again.
"Need to go for our shifts" she broke it, grabbing her sword.
"Sure, let's go" he smiled, leaving with her.
•••
Ramona's eyes opened slightly, but the pains she felt made her close it immediately.
She was lying on the floor.
Dried blood filled her skin, and her whole body feels like it has been butchered.
She tried to move a finger, but it was impossible cos of the pains coursing through her bloodstream and flesh.
Her head was jingling, her eyes so hurtful, her body feels numb. Her p*ssy hurts, and she can't even open her mouth.
She passed out during the electrocution last night, and here she is.
No matter the torture, she was made to know that she'd never die unless they're ready to kill her.
She has been begging for death since the first day of the torture, but she never got it.
She managed to smile lightly when princess Elena's face came to her memory.
She was actually her personal maid when she was still alive, and the fact that they were both eighteen made them so close.
She was the prettiest of all her sisters, and of course, her father's favorite, but she's just so cool and not spoilt.
Whenever Ramona is busy with bathing or doing anything, and other maids come to stay, she'd decline completely.
"No, I want my Ramona only" she'd always say.
They loved each other so much, and one will think they're sisters.... but...she was accused of killing that same Princess.
"I... it... wasn't me..." Ramona muttered, and tears slipped out of her eyes, rolling out of her blindfold.
•••
"The festival is starting in thirty minutes time, let's return to the palace" Felix said, facing Amy.
They've been strolling the city since they finished serving breakfast.
"Can't wait for king Logan to leave today" she replied, and he stroked her hair.
"Me too" he said, and she smiled, but when they made to start leaving, they heard a painful yell from afar.
They stopped and looked at each other, then they started walking to that direction.
A demon is chasing after a human girl, and she was screaming fearfully as she ran.
The demon finally caught up and grabbed her.
"Save me!!!" She screamed as the scary thing made to eat her up, but Felix appeared and snatched her away.
The demon tried flying away immediately he saw him, but Amy appeared and pulled him back by the leg, then she removed the fork in her hair and sank it into his eye.
"Wench!, How dare you!!!" He screamed, staggering around with bleeding eye.
He suddenly stood straight and started coming for her, but Felix blocked him and thrusted his knife into his chest.
The demon turned to sand immediately, and he exhaled.
"I want to be like you both, that was cool" the human girl said, and Amy stroked her hair.
"Be careful next time, ok?" She said.
"Sure" the girl nodded and blew kisses at them before running away.
"You're not hurt, are you?" Felix held Amy's face.
"I'm fine" she smiled, taking his hands off before pulling him out of the place.
•••
"I can't wait!, In five minutes time, we'll be in the palace!" Mikaela said cheerfully, jumping as she walked ahead of Arthur and Mandela.
"You're really serious about becoming a Princess" Mandela said.
"I wanna know what it feels like to live in a palace" she replied.
"What if Arthur gets a queen when he becomes king?" Mandela said.
"That'd never happen!, I don't want any woman around father, right father?" She faced Arthur.
He was about to speak when he started feeling strange, so he stopped walking.
"Something wrong?" Mandela asked.
"No, just paranoia" Arthur replied and proceeded, but immediately he took the next step, it's like his foot was gummed to the ground, he couldn't take another step.
A thick fog surrounded him immediately, and his eyes widened a bit.
"I'm trapped" he said.
"Crap!" Mandela said.
"I smell the blood of a chaste woman" Mikaela sniffed.
"Don't come near the fog" Arthur said from inside.
"I need to think of a way to break the barrier!" Mikaela replied and went closer, but she was thrown back forcefully, and she landed far away on dried leaves.
"Stubborness won't help here" Mandela said as she stood.
"I can clearly see the face of the bastard behind this" she smirked.
"Who?" Mandela asked.
"His imbecile of a brother, Lagoon" she replied.
"It's Logan" Mandela said.
"I don't care, let's think of something" Mikaela replied.
"Arthur are you ok?!" Mandela shouted.
"I'm fine, give me some minutes to think of something" he replied.
•••
The festival is just starting, and as the first participant stepped into the arena, Logan smiled from his seat.
He's sitting on his royal chair, and queen Beth is on his right side.
Jonathan is by his left.
The queen dowager and her daughters are sitting around him.
Amy and Felix stood with the guards, watching intently, and the kingmakers were standing at the center.
Till the first man got to the center, nothing like rain happened, so he stepped down, and the second man came up.
Same thing happened, no rain.
They kept coming till the twentieth one, and there's still no rain.
"Only ten participants left, don't tell me there'll be no rain this year, you know what that means" Amy said.
"King Logan will reign for another year, and Ramona will die this time around" Felix smiled.
Princess Alice swallowed hard as the twenty first man came up, but still no rain.
Jonathan bit his lip, and Queen Beth kept a straight look.
The queen dowager looked blank as usual.
Shakira and Logan were smiling.
The twenty fifth man came up.
•••
"I'm sure the festival is over already" Mandela said.
"Shut up! we still have ten minutes left!" Mikaela snapped.
Arthur is still trapped in the foggy barrier, and there's still no solution.
Arthur's eyes were closed inside the barrier, different thoughts running through his mind.
"Can the blood of a horse break this?" Mandela said.
"No, think of something else" Mikaela replied desperately.
Mandela was about to talk again when her eyes widened.
"Stop!" She smiled.
At the same time, Arthur opened his eyes inside the fog.
"The blood of a witch and the blood of a cat" Mikaela said.
"Logan must have forgotten about Mandela" Arthur smirked.
"Collision of your bloods, Mandela" he further said.
Mikaela tore her palm with her nails, and Mandela did with his sword. They both dropped their blood on the ground.
The ground started shaking violently, and they had to close their eyes as the fog disseminated everywhere.
A short storm happened, shaking all the surrounding trees to their roots, and all the dried leaves on the ground gathered in the atmosphere.
Arthur walked out of the barrier slowly, and Mikaela smiled.
"We have just three minutes" Mandela said, and immediately the leaves landed back on the ground, they started running.
•••
The twenty ninth participant walked out of the arena when he couldn't make it reign, and Logan smiled, knowing the thirtieth participant is never gonna come.
Everyone expected the last person to come up, but no one showed up.
"It's over, king Logan is ruling over us for another year" Amy said.
"I don't think so, I feel something will happen" Felix smiled.
"Stop smiling at the wrong time jerk" Amy rolled eyes, and he laughed.
Jonathan looked at Logan who was smiling, and his mind went to Ramona.
"Ramona, I'm sorry it happened this way" he muttered painfully.
"Seems the last participant isn't coming, let's make this fast" Shakira said.
"Close the gate" the queen dowager ordered, and the guards started closing the big iron gate.
