Lordkhak had spent another day going through the beautiful structured buildings of phornious thonar. Their castle is a whole realm from inside on its own. Yes the paths are narrow but the content is still. There you got schools and guilds side by side inside the castle. And the view while walking inside is bizarre since it is under the sea. Everything is pretty much filled with water. But lordkhak and the others are pretty much breathing using gulan herb that has oxygen stored in it. So don't be surprised when you are walking and suddenly a fish slams your face, still beautiful looking under. The grand blue of odds inside a courtyard designed with pottery and panels. Lordkhak had also been invited to a tea party by the queen rakshata, the queen of this kingdom. When he first entered he was truly amazed. He witnessed a garden with an odd decoration. It is a big field facing the cell of newborns of vivilkans. 4 paths leading to a small table with a woman in a long white and yellow dress and a beautiful blue skin with her crown that is basically 2 golden thin wings. The paths were decorated with golden denisforms yew plants and with the blue of the sea and the purple cell from far away looking like the sun of this sea it makes a beautiful scenery mixed with these colors. The woman said in a very elegant position drinking her tea “you may approach king lordkhak”he replied approaching “you honor me your grace for such a visit to this sacred place”she replied “our manners force us to treat visitors primary and to feed them better than ourselves” he replied “do the manners and morals of the nobles have its philosophy too”she replied “that is actually true. In fact even the evil houses would feed their enemies in their houses just for the public view. So it depends on their intentions really but is mostly for their own benefits and I brought you here kind of the same and to teach you stuff you might not realize. As a leader to a leader. What you are doing is something most who before you have tried to do. The idea to change nature and fight it. Is a dangerous yet a daring achievement”while she offered him the cup of tea”so let me ask you. Are you sure that this is right? Is this what your heart wants or is it just for the sake of others ”he replied and he was kind of mad “where are you going with this. You doubt my leadership”she replied “you don't understand me. I am a 500 year old queen. I had seen so many who chased the same path as you and most of them have terribly failed. I am not saying you are going to fail. You know your people and you are an ideal king already half away from your dream. But I believe that fate itself should be considered. All I am saying is that I want you to be more careful. You might not realize it but you always speak of egoism and how bad it is. But you don't realize that you possess the ultimate ego. Ego in which you try to fight nature and destiny” he replied silently “i understand….. But it is all about faith”she was surprised for a second and he carried on saying “the same way people before us had believed in the dawnforged oath to come and change their era of destruction and ruin. My faith is the weapon I am going to use. The world will not stay the same and this tea will not stay hot forever especially under low temperature. Don't worry, I am not mad or anything. I thought you brought me here to discuss some future plans since we are having great relationship contracts. But to play on my own I will not allow it. And remember this. I give this world what it needs not what it wants”and before he continued to say anything he felt a shock and felt heavy. He thinks he imagined a flash of light that pierced through his heart leaving the words “chaos” he couldn't handle sitting and stood up and left saying “excuse me i have to go. If you have any ideas just mail them to me. She was worried and thought that she had crossed the line and made him mad. But in reality it was totally another reason. Back to his rooms that were designed for him inside this castle doing his usual hobby of smithing. On his doorstep it was the same azfaran that won the egg challenge. Entering with his unique appearance. His big dark hat and his small dark glasses with his smile all spread a bizarre atmosphere. And holding the staff he said “your grace. I believe you called for me” he replied “yes for 3 reasons. First I don't know your name and I would like to know more ”tugdi of seena”he replied “tugdi.. Does it mean anything” he replied." I believe names don't define a person so when I was born from the womb of my dead mother I didn't care to use necromancy and ask her. name itself has its history and so that history sets the bars for its worth” he replied “he laughed on how casually he mentions necromancy and said do you have worthy values that define you “he answered there is no telling really. The eyes are the ones that set the worth of the stuff they see. And the eyes themselves are the factor of envy. The more the eyes will envy you the more your value rises. Till the point where those will curse your name and so your worth will be self's true destruction” he replied “is that so. I see then your name would mean what my eye had witnessed and you are right. I do envy the fact that you cause fear to me.Your name means fear to me. I ask you. Would you be my servant? Tugdi the hat of fear. When I first met you I realized that there is still stuff I need to learn and I guess there always will be. You are a great mage and that is exactly what i need”and here he let out a sigh and said to himself “maybe she was right” and said to tugdi “however fear will never move my faith” also another question and the last “when i was the golden garden. I felt a shock and there was a certain word echoing in my brain. Do you know what was that” he said “ah your grace that was probably hexis sora's calling” he replied “the universal being of chaos and freedom? He is 2 oceans away from here to actually be able to contact from such a distance , not even gormon capable of that” he said “there is a rumor that is hardly a rumor anymore. That hexis will be able to contact anyone as long as the paths of water are connected” and he replied “you mean to tell me he basically can and hear anything in phorinous thonar and what is around it? I see. That is quite an ability” suddenly another Nocking on the door and it was a message from zaylish says “your grace we need you here back in roghaim. The court is waiting patiently for you since this is an important matter”.. Back to lok celest in roghaim under the cosmic castle. Where lordkhak sits on the frozen throne and 6 of mortals who serve Gormon's court and it starts with zoldyck saying “your grace. We were afraid to tell you so we had to bring you here to discuss it. Here are the taxes and the infos” lordkhak read them sayin “is this why you brought me here. These are just a bunch of taxes I assigned to the vahlkries. You could have just dealt with them on your own” he replied bittery “your grace. We tried and not only that the main reason i engaged on my own was the fact that they took some of out patrol guards hostages and they even took a seal of the southwest fortress” lordkhak stood and was about to reply but for the first time in this new designed castel gormon had spoke and it petrified all “so they took soldiers of ours and my SEAL that is the sign of my judgment and law. They dare to my trait of conquest by some idiotic barbarians. Such mockery will not be tolerated calmly” he replied in fear “my liege i went there head on and tried to reason with them and make them realize the weight of their disrespect” he shouted “AND JUST NOW YOU DECIDED TO TALK” lordkhak said “gormon is fine. We all know how disrespectful it is to remove your seal. Not only that they dare to take my brothers as hostage in their filthy cold dungeons” gormon said “saion would deal with this if you couldn't dawrf "Lordkhak replied “that wouldn't be wise. Using one of our strongest weapons will just raise their ego and the disrespect will be even more. These are barbarians they are only driven by chaotic actions and lust. Anything else in their brain is completely frozen. The key to give them a lesson is by destroying their ego. They need to know their place. As these taxes show. They haven't paid for protection for the last month. They didn't clean the hole of dread and on top of this so many theft of our resources we noticed. Even when we made the marketing weaker by taking out the ownership of the ports they dealt with it with theft not responsiblity” gormon said “kodlak why you didn't do anything about all of this. You are the head of the army” the talk orc in yellow armor was standing there and replied “there were no orders” lordkhak replied “is kodlak's fault. I was busy with all those projects and it led those dogs to abuse it. That is why I am going to deal with them alone. I am sending 2 men to them” Everyone was surprised and tried to reason about the danger in his life if he doesn't go with a group of people and he replied “are you doubting my might….. We must assert dominance by showing them the true fear and me being there will just make them realize the trouble of dealing with a kind as me” and gormon said “and of what that truth fear you suggesting” then he smiled and some magical words in purple started to appear around him…
