The Broken Prince

King Pyro Morningstar, the king who caught it devised a strategy to capture it, using most of his powers, he created a four hell pillar than made a cage where the hell spawn was kept. Needless to say, it took a toll on him as he got trapped along with it and ended up being burned into ashes but his efforts did not go in vain as the thing he captured made sure that the kingdom was not to be messed with. Not just by the other kingdoms but also those from the dark valley in the barren lands that wants to overtake the Inferno Kingdom.

"Father is keeping it at by by taking the charge of defense in his own hand. Take his action similar to what King Pyro did back in the day but this time, it's geo elements which is quite stronger no offense."

"None taken."

"So your majesties, where do we plan to take them out. It would be very much advisable that we sneak unnoticed." The second chief spoke.

"It would be very much predictable if we attack from behind. Let's attack them from the east side, there are huge trees there.." I suggested.

"But isn't that part of the dark valley?" The second chief questioned.

"They have long fled since the eradicated the rogues on those parts. They won't be able to come back as a seal is placed there. We take them from there, our archer group shall fire hell shots at the rogue. We take them out first so we can deal with the hell spawn without anyone interfering us. Then the defense team will guard the outer parts of the wall and eradicate the upcoming threats. We do not know if they have some backups. The rest will accompany me and Prince Kaval in fighting with the rogues." Both Prince Kaval and the second chief nodded then went back to their position. It won't be long till we arrive there. I kicked the horse on the side making it run faster. A trail of smoke and small traces of fire was behind me.

We continued to move in a very fast pace for a good hour with nothing but silence and the sound of our horses stomping on the barren grounds. I noticed that we were nearing the part of the dark valley where father has conquered and put a seal on it. A very faint red glowing sphere was evident. I charged straight forward and me being a royal blood had it vanish immediately. We ventured even further until a few minutes, we saw the outskirts of the Kingdom of the Land which was in chaos. The grass outside it were burning as the same happened for the trees that were scattered. We ventured to what seemed like a hill and when we did reach there, the view of what was happening sent chills to my bones. it was absolute chaos but what caught my attention, was the hell spawn who kept releasing a pulse of fire waves on the ground. This is not going to be easy.

I heaved a sigh as the nerves are starting to get to me. Thing that I fear to imagine but I must stay composed and trust myself and everyone else. I need to be strong for this and for my kingdom. Everyone is counting on me and I shall not fail them.

I motioned the others that we charge towards the battlefield without making that much attention towards ourselves. Who knows if the hell spawn is going to see us and attack us instead, it needs to be captured before I can do my part by sealing it with the seal that I learned way back then. It was the seal that Grandfather Pyro used and it's going to consume ninety percent of my body's elemental energy but that should be fine. As long as I don't use my powers that much in fighting the rogues, I will at least have some left in me to get back to the kingdom without completely collapsing to the ground.

I heaved huge breath of air once again before I turned around and looked at my comrades and motioned that we should get moving.

"No one must scream, kill the rogues silently and most of all, do not die on me. Charge!" I stated before we charge to where the battlefield is. I was not wrong in assuming that there were scattered rogues everywhere. They looked very skinny and almost dead pale but were still alive. Their eyes were very dark and were almost bald. They had ragged teeth and very long nails.

They started to attack us from the moment they saw us. One charged towards me. I had my other hand gripped on the royal sword, once it was close enough and was about to attack me, I swung the sword immediately making its head fall to the ground. Then numbers of rogues continued to attack us without hesitation. I could feel my body starting to warm up from all of this movement. How long has it been since I have been this active? I have lost track. The adrenaline in me started to came alive as the bad nerves that I was feeling vanished with the rogues that are now headless.

I looked back at my comrades along with Prince Kaval and The Second Chief, Thendolon who were right behind me. Behind them were the troops who thankfully are still complete. I have also noticed that some of them has formed a barrier on the outer skirts of the battlefield. Everything is going smoothly and as planned.

I was distracted for a second when Prince Kaval positioned his hands towards the sky and released a streak of bright yellow-orange light.

"That is a sign that I am with you and that backup has come!" I nodded at his explanation and continued to venture onwards. There were no rogues that now attacked us. My sight caught a view of the inside of the kingdom, the central city with traces of fire and thick smoke. This escalated quickly and much worse than I have anticipated.

The view was now clear of rogues. The geo guards saw us and saluted at us before going along on our paths that leads straight to the hell spawn that was trying to break free from being caged.

As soon as I got near, I knew that all of our hearts dropped from the sight of it. I have only saw sketches and illustrations of it in the history books but seeing it up close is overwhelming. Beyond overwhelming.

It was gigantic, height reaching the top of The Mighty Wall of the Land which stood in the heights of three hundred and sixty seven meters. It's body was enclosed with a very bask and thick coating of dried lava but with it being active and using it's elemental power, cracks were evident on the surface. The cracks glowed bright red, it looked like a moving volcano. The air vibrated as it roared out it's might. We were nearing it when it stopped moving and slowly turned around.

My eyes grew dark as it stared right through me. It's face was that of a crocodile being spiky and ragged. It's eyes looked straight into mine. Then it glowed even more.

"Another Morningstar?" My hands gripped the royal sword tighter as I heard it spoke. It's voice made the ground trembled. Being close enough to it, I felt every inch in my body vibrate from how loud it sounded. No such thing was written in the book about it being able to converse. I stomped on the ground making it crack. The seal of the geo barrier now has a crack which made me quite anxious. I must not let it escape! I jumped from my horse and ran towards it, Prince Kaval yelled at me as he too ran towards it.

I must mark it with a seal right away for if does escape, it might end up escaping or worse, it might go on a rampage and starts to attack us all. "Prince Hade get back!" Prince Kaval shouted. I looked back at him and saw that he was very far from me. I looked at him confused. What? I thought he ran with me.

"Get back!" He exclaimed once more.

"Why do you say that!?"

"Because it's going to release a burning shock wave! You might end up being burned into ashes or be badly injured. Retreat immediately!" I nodded and was about to run to where they were immediately, until I heard it spoke again.

"Scurrying like your grandfather?" I froze on my tracks and turned around with a glare. How dare this thing mention my greatest grandfather.

"Ha, what's new. You Morningstar's are still afraid of me?"

"I think it's the other way around." I answered in a dark voice. It chuckled before it answered.

"Well why was your grandfather stupid enough to be trapped with me. Such an imbecile."
