15 Long Live The Prince

Somewhere in Draxis city in a hidden bunker.

Three people where in a hidden place deep underground, magic crystals kept the room lit. One of them was the Princess Esholyn the other two where her guards Johnny and Harvey. Harvey was 17 he had flowing black hair and was wearing ivory armor he had a sword sheathed on his Back. Johnny looked slightly more handsome then Harvey he was about 16 his blonde hair blues eyes certainly gave him an edge up. Still, Harvey made up for it with sheer confidence. Esholyn, however was in a whole other league. Although only twelve or eleven her flawless face was unmatched by any except for maybe Queen Abigail. Her hair was pure white flowing down her front almost reaching her knees. The Blue mage gown she wore was adorned with countless stones the Silver and white design danced like the ocean as she moved.

"Yo what's going on where's Oren. If he doesn't comeback soon I'm going to go looking for him!"

"Shut up Johnny! Nobody is going anywhere! Didn't you hear those explosions the battle has already started. Its been two days, and we still haven't heard from outside. Our best bet is to remain hidden."

"Listen Harvey I understand your concern, but, I can't leave my friend out there by himself. Im going whether you guys come with me or not."

"Don't be stupid you heard what Lan-Tsu said you idiot, we'd all die. The only person who survives this is Oren, our jobs is took protect Esholyn. No matter what, our duty is to her not Oren, or have you forgotten."

"And what if we get caught. Neither of you guys have a plan for, if we get caught. Harvey is right we have to hide. Johnny Lan-Tsu is my guardian we should listen to him our best bet is to stay out of the way."

Now Esholyn being raised as a royal, was the most sensible one. She knew they should stay inside. It was her actions that caused Lan-Tsu to have that horrible vision in the first place, but still, she knew it was her the demons were after from the start. So no matter what she would be the cause of this calamity.

The group hid for another few days with no sign of Oren.

Draxis City

Inside a small shop in a secret space

A bald man was sitting at a table was happily eating and chatting with a young boy. The boy seemed to be about 11. His facial features were devilishly handsome, his fiery orange hair was in long braids and his golden eyes held a deep allure. He was dressed in robes of purple gold and white. One could tell he was royalty at a glance. The man looked to be about 40, his bald head shining. His black robes were clearly well kept and elegantly designed. They were speaking on events gone by.

"Okay Oren remember what I taught you. We've been in the scroll for three months which is five days on the outside. My people said the castle is still standing and the enemies forces are thinning. You're a fast learner but there is only fire and earth energy down here. Still I can only teach you my fire mage techniques. Nevertheless I must tell you how impressed I am at how you've gotten pretty good with earth magic and you did it on you own!" He paused looking at Oren face with full of praise.

"Id say even some experts might struggle with you. You've even managed to awaken your holy energy slightly. So although you wont be able to change into that holy form, you can use any magic plus imbue it with holy energy which will bring out alot more power. You also learned how to use magical flight. You are truly capable of bringing a new age. Most of us aren't capable of it because our magic essence is denser then the essence in the atmosphere so we would need magic to fly, like fire or wind mages. Your magic essence is pure no need to filter through chants or practice. The essence you possess is Holy Energy one day you'll be able to master all magic but you still need training."

"But....The training will have to wait! I've enjoyed these few months' with you Oren. You remind me of my Brother." As he finished speaking he wiped his mouth and pulled out the scroll.

Oren looked alot more confident he was also visibly more muscular. Not to mention he now possessed a magical essence like everything else, so he would heal faster. You could say this was no longer Oren. Instead he was now a powerful multi element mage, with a physique that would make mountains crumble.... Literally!

"Thank you uncle James, with your training I should be able to leave the city safely. I just don't want to leave my friends behind."

Right Before Activating the scroll James replied. "Then Don't.."

Flash....

They were back in the shop and through the windows they saw...

Chaos..... There were magic attacks being hurled everywhere dozens of bodies were lying in the streets it was bloody pandemonium. When Oren looked closer he could flashes of green and white, with his new abilities he focused his sense... It was Emera!! Two people were mounted atop of her the one in back was Samson, Harveys father the other was none other than Queen Abigail!

Oren dashed out. He immediately saw Emera clad in her black armor with passengers in tow charge into the enemies path.....

BOOM.... The moment Emera charged in the Queen acted, the light barrier she used to protect Emera from the arrows outside the city went up...Shiiinggg.... They moved like wind. Any darkness minion they touched would instantly splatter, only retreating when the attacks start to weaken the barrier. Then Samson would effortless slice and kill what ever enemy got in their way. The three were magnificent.

Oren only watched for a moment before jumping into the battle. Swoosh.... Oren jumped 200ft into the air. The Queen and Emera noticed him. He was already fully clad in his black armor suit. How could they not sense it Oren had gained a magical aura. They could certainly tail Oren had changed. He was now a powerhouse. Before you could blink Oren had summoned a humongous golden sun in his palm. The energy was so pure as soon as it appeared the darkness minions let out miserable shrieks.

Oren had imbued this fire ball with holy energy. His holy energy was a thousand times stronger then James'. Who had to manipulate a small amount from his Holy artifact, but Oren drained it making it useless. So He just gave it to Oren who was able to fill it with his own holy energy actually making the artifact better.

With a flick of his wrist Oren launched the Gigantic meteor, quick as a throwing stone.

SWOOSH.... The massive flaming Orb fell....Fast.... Everything in a certain distance was instantly vaporized. Oren had threw it into the middle of the enemies there were no human soldiers in its area of effect.

KABOOM.... An Enormous blast was released upon impact with the earth. Instantly decimating the invading armies forces and demolishing the land around it. The If Emera and them two only took out 50 enemies since the battle started. Oren just tripled that! With His Holy Fire Meteor, he took out close to half the troops the enemies had left. Not only were they now terrified, The Humans had gained morale.

"Protect the queen."

"Long live the prince." Were being shouted, but Oren didn't stop there. He summoned two smaller Meteors, one in each hand and sent them flying wherever the enemy troops were the most crowded... Boom....Bang... Two more blast rang out, obliterating hundreds of demons. Those enormous shockwaves wasn't something these low level pawns could handle.

The enemy legions were in tatters, now trying to retreat out of the city. Those three holy fire explosions shook their very core. Not only did those three fireballs combined kill more than 400 of their guys, Oren was conjuring more! As the remaining enemies tried to flee the ground started moving. Rumble...Rumble. Oren instantly created 4 more fireballs, slightly smaller the the second two he launched. All while simultaneously raising the earth to completely wall in the demons.

Oren just floated over the cage he just created. The walls were 70 feet high although some of the enemies reacted in time to escape they only numbered a dozen or so. Oren had manage to trap the remaining 200 or so enemies. He floated over them like a god, the four fire balls revolving around him like planets. Oren had no word for these monsters, he re-imagined the scene from Lan-tsu's vision. He had been envisioning Esholyn being killed in numerous ways by the minions of the dark dragon.

One.. Two... Three.. Four.... The flaming orbs were released one by one. BOOM...BOOOM..BANG....BOOOM..... One could imagine the scene as them orbs made contact with the enemies below the heat alone would have killed them all, let alone the monstrous detonations. Even the couple dozen meter thick wall was blown to bits by those four meteors!

Oren simply floated down from the debris. The other people had maintained their distance. Those horrible shock waves would have killed more then half of them had they been to close. When Oren landed Emera rushed forward, the Queen and Samson still saddled in.

"Oren what happened to you!" Emera frantically asked him, "what is that power."

Before he could even answer the Queen spoke up her voice shivering. That... that was Ja..James' Fire Dragons Will. Oren when, how did.. The Queen paused but continued, "When did you learn fire magic and how are you using earth magic also. Secondly what is this energy you possess it feels different from any magic I have ever sensed."

The Queen bombarded him with questions, had she knew he had these capabilities she probably would have left him in the forest. At this moment she knew she made the right choice. Only thinking to herself wow He saved us again.

Oren didn't say anything he just flew up onto Emeras back, Then He turned to the Queen. "Ill regroup with my team and meet you at the castle."

No one objected. He had just now, single handed killed 600 demons! Even the most powerful people on the battlefield only managed to kill a few dozen. Everyone even the Queen was awestruck. The only person who wasn't was James who was sitting there still watching from his shop.

He knew exactly what type of force he had created.

SWOOSH..... Emera moved towards the Castle....

Emera was now 20 plus feet long, She was thicker than a steed and much heavier. She had truly become gigantic beast. Oren seemed to notice something on Emera, she had grown six numbs. Three on each side, one on top and two on bottom. Oren knew a little something about beast and how some where said to evolve.

But... Weren't those just stories and legends.

Either way Oren didn't ask Her about it. Instead He and Emera made haste to the castle arriving in the blink of an eye. It should be noted that Emera can nearly move at the speed of sound.

A few seconds later Oren was at the bunkers' door. He put in the sequence Esholyn taught him, followed the maze path ending up in front of another stone wall. After entering the second combination, the stones opened once more. Then Oren with Emera behind entered passageway.

They appeared In a massive underground space. At first Oren didn't see anyone. However with his new abilities he could sense them once he entered. He realized they must be in one of the side rooms preparing to use the travel stones. After all he had just entered, how could they not sense his new aura, he didnt have one before! They also didn't see him yet, so how would they know if he was friend or foe. "Guys it's me," Oren hurriedly called out.

"Guys its Oren! its Oren!" A voice excitedly exlaimed. Oren immediately recognizing the voice as his friend Esholyn.

"Hold on keep the stones ready. Let me make sure if anything goes wrong, Johnny take Esholyn and flee." Oren knew this person was Harvey, although He tried to whisper. How could Orens powerful new senses not pick up on this conversation.

Harvey walked out of the room. His black hair and bone white Armor created quite the contrast. He looked quite dashing. His lightning sword was drawn, the blade was crackling with electricty.

Harvey took one look at Oren or rather Emera and said, "Its him!"

As soon as Harvey said those two words, the other two people came out of the room accompanied by a large metal dog.

"Oren what happened to you, I was worried sick about you man." Johnny a young man in a white wizard robe had spoken, his blonde hair and blue eyes made him almost captivating.

Oren however wasn't paying attention to him his sight was focused on the young girl who was standing near his side.

"Esholyn are you okay." Oren said as he dashed to her grabbing her in his arms, "Why are you crying."

What Oren didn't realize is that these were tears of joy. She didn't know what happened to him or if she was ever gonna see him again. Esholyn didn't even realize in these short weeks she had actually fallen for Oren. Although they were just kids now, one day she knew she would be a Queen. She silently thought to herself he would be my King.

Esholyn wiped her eyes after a second she returned to normal. Then she pushed herself back from him.

"Hmppff! Oren are you an idiot or what!? We've been here nearly 6 days! What do you think your job is as my guard? Huh!..... If you ever leave me like that again! Ill kick you out!"

Esholyn pouted, putting both hands on the hips of her royal gown. The silver and white design really complimented the blue base, while the unblemished jewels created an elegant pattern. Her pure white hair only showing a few strands sticking out of her gowns blue hood. Although her forhead was covered her beauty was unmistakable.

Oren was staggered he didn't say a word not because she was yelling but because He was thinking in his mind wow she sounded a lot like her mother just now. He couldn't help smiling while thinking, how on earth did I get to meet someone so special. If I could be around her forever' I'd give anything.
