The Thrones' Abyss

Rof crept between the branches, The King was talking to Holcane and Leon. He hated to eavesdrop on him but, it was unintentional this time.

"Couldn't you find any track of those beasts that entered first?"

Asked Leon.

"It is a waste of time, we might not be able to catch them. They had changed their figures and might be among us and we can't recognize them. They will live many lives and might see many eras."

King William replied.

"Also they can make a new race. Demon race."

Holcane finished his brother's statement and looked up, sniffing the air, "can you believe that the prince of Velator is dead?"

Rof jerked back when he looked up, the Alux thought that this aggressive werewolf knew about his presence.

"I don't believe but let us pretend that we believed."

The King suggested. 

"But you know what it means when you dared to bring those humans here, don't you?"

"I found some stray humans and let them be in my land as guests."

He smirked and Holcane frowned, he was growling again and the other two brothers were right there, not surprised as they were accustomed to his behavior.

"Leon, tomorrow take lady Anita to the Abyss. Goran will be here with you."

"Alright, what about that witch and the maiden?"

William shook his head, well, they had information and he wanted to extract it from every single person of them.

"Go, brother. The land is safe for now, we had put a hex on every crack that we found."

Holcane stated and draw his path to some of Centaurs down the hill.

"Come down, Rof!"

That intense and brutal tone brought shivers to his joints. It was for not being around for days.

He flashed down and stood on the shoulder of the sculpture near the tree. 

"Your highness, I apologize for my delay! The princess's magician caught me."

"Could you find out who he was?"

His face soothed when he went on the main point.

"I did, he was a hybrid human magician, his father was an elf. Selminoth explored the actual hell to become strong and could somehow exit there. But the princess found him and gave him the title."

William chuckled, there was no way for the princess to find that magician. 

"The man chose the princess and his intention is unclear. The princess of Velator is not in a position to catch a magician who crossed hell."

"Your highness, the prince is dead and Lady Livia is tending to Kill Lady Luna and her child."

"You are saying that my little thing wouldn't come here now," he clenched his jaw, because of that useless princess all his plans for marrying Elizabeth were ruined and it could give Queen Zavika an advantage to drag the girl to her land.

"Go, Rof! Don't come to me until little thing is there but get to me as soon as she decided to leave. Her family is here."

Rof bowed and continued to report every single thing he witnessed and after that William said only a few words, "I'll go to find Ryan James."

He said nothing more, his face was murky. He suggested Wilmore go to the abyss of hell because he sensed the aura of the soil around him, it was impossible for him to die there.

Rof didn't understand him but something was wrong that the king was helping humans, it could not be for lady Elizabeth.

Rof vanished and William went to the library where Frank was studying with Master Nonen. 

The green dust was in the air, streaming out of a book and Frank was hovering in the air, well, his master enjoyed keeping him in the air. He waved a hand for his king and gave him a sheepish grin.

"Hello, Your Majesty! I hope you had a nice evening!"

"Master Nonen, I need you and Frank to join me in a hidden mission."

The Peacock magician stood up, closed the book and Frank fell off the ground. Groaning at the pain, he steadied himself quickly.

"Are we going to the human world?"

William hated to stroll there but he had to admit that.

"Yes, there is a hybrid magician there that might put my future wife in danger."

The magician waved his hand and green mist surrounded them, their faces and figures changed to human form, William touched his ears that were no longer pointy.

"Nice job master." Frank looked at himself inside a bronze mirror, he liked the manly figure he got.

"Ready!" The magician was agreed to that, his King finally decided to get married and it was a great occur for the faeries of Abyss. Of course, unexpected and could refuse the rumors about him liking men.

"Shouldn't we take Sam with us? He is doing fine!" Frank asked.

"No, the magician can kill him in the sky with simple magic. Three of us is enough."

William answered and walked to a cache and opened it. Taking a portal maker gem with revived magic. Reciting the spells the portal shaped and they walked inside. 

Frank gazed around, it was a lane! The trash bins were on the left side and the cats were fighting over spoiled stink fish.

"Hmm, poor cats."

The magician said and lift his finger, some fishes appeared out of nowhere and rained on them. The happy cats snatched each and sneaked to dark sides and began to eat.

"Where are we?" Frank asked.

"Sargona, I heard that the gate appeared near the mountains."

He walked out and his companions followed him. Out of the lane was a street full of people with cargoes, carrying them to a barn.

The scent of Griffin sea was streaming to noses. This harbor was famous for being stink.

"I heard that he went to his mother in Merchant Bolingtone's mansion."

"How should we get close?"

Frank had no idea how to get to a place that many guards were patrolling around it.

Walking to another street, a great mansion was on a hill, it was twinkling with lights of lanterns.

"Hurry up, Lord Bolingtone is waiting for these goods."

A man shouted at some people who were putting boxes inside a cart. 

"Well, I got the plan."

The King smirked and walked to them.

"Sir, we are looking for a job,"

William was sure that he would not reject but to make him obey him, he directly gazed into his eyes and when his attention was caught, master Nonen hypnotized him.

"Yes, help the others and come with me."

Frank grinned widely, nicely, this mission was interesting if he withdrew the annoying scent but hopefully they would be far from the harbor.

When they were done, the man turned to three of them saying, "you get those horses and follow me."

Mounting up the horses they galloped to the mansion behind the cart.

"Survey to find the magician, master!"

The voice was dancing in the heads of the two fellows who were helping the king. 

After ridding to the mansion, they helped the valets to take the boxes inside a storeroom then William used the chance and sneaked inside the mansion.

He could smell magic and the strange heavy aura that Rof talked about. Hiding near the kitchen he saw the chief and the maidens who were setting the table. Eventually, Ryan came inside the kitchen.

The chief bowed to him, "how can I help you, prince Ryan!"

William saw the twitch in Ryan's face. He was uncomfortable with the title they offered him. His eyes searched Ryan's wrist but he couldn't find the tattoo, instead of it, when Ryan turned back and rushed to a jar of orange juice, he realized where the tattoo was. A silver tattoo on his back! Why silver? Was he a human werewolf? How? He doubted if Wilmore had bitten him!

"I needed to have something cool, please do your own business, I'll be here for a bit."

It was obvious that Ryan just escaped not to encounter someone. When everyone but him left there, William strode out. Ryan flinched back. Who was this old weirdo?

"Excuse me!"

William sighed, rolling his sleeve up, he showed his golden tattoo.

"I'm here for your prince, where is he!"

"King..."

Before he could let the rest of his words out of his mouth, the king shushed him.

"I owe him, just tell me where to find him."

He murmured near him.

"He is dead."

"Don't trick me with this lie, I'll help you if you take me to him. What is your plan for appearing here?"

"Rescuing Dorian Black and taking back Sargona!"

"A week, I'll give you what you want within a week then take me to your prince, deal?"

Ryan grinned wickedly. Actually, he hated to be alone here. With William, he felt warmth.

"Deal, first let me hire your highness as my valet!"

William bared his teeth, he guessed right, Wilmore was alive. And this plan was coming out of his head.

"Make it three valets, I have two other fellows."

This King was beyond belief seemed to have faith in gods who brought him blessings. Now, he could also ask them to let Hashin out of there.

"By the way, your wife is in my land."

Saying that Ryan choked and coughed, "did you find them?"

"Yes, my father told me to find them and I did."

"I'll repay that."

William shrugged and walked to the back door, "we are helping the valet out there, a good chance to hire us."

He slammed the door and Ryan exhaled in relief.
