HEIR OF LIGHT Book1: The lost prince

CHAPTER 5

Jason stared hard at the faery, he hopped about while whistling a tune jason was unfamiliar with.

He turned to terra who nodded, this was the creature who Rumpelstiltskin was fashioned after,

" er faery?... Rumpelstiltskin?" He said,

" you could call me that ikir, or four hundred other names that justify me from the twelve realms" he replied pouring a powder that daren said to be fairy dust on the ground.

Jason stepped forward,

"Then you know why we're here" jason said,

"By all means ikir, you and your protector with your...." He stopped looking at terra as a sly smile curved up his lips,

"Interesting, very interesting don't you think?, terra of house rectir" he said,

Jason turned to terra, she shrugged,

"What's he talking about?" He asked her,

" don't know, he must have seen something" she replied,

Jason bit back the reply that pushed at his tongue, to pester her here would be fruitless, whatever she was hiding would reveal itself somehow,

" as I was saying, you were planning on returning to aratia to reclaim the throne of your ancestors and establish order" the faery said,

"But you do know all things come at a price" he said,

"So I've heard, name it" Jason replied squarely looking the faery in the eye,
It chuckled in delight while quivering a finger in Jason's face,

"You surely are quick in answer ikir" he said,

"Very well ikir, I will state my offer, but not now. You'll get through the portal though" answered.

Jason had a confused look,

"What?, didn't the stories say I would ask for something?" It said looking at the bewildered trio,

"Make no mistakes, you'll have to swear on illummino to fulfill your promise when the time comes" it said warningly,

Jason relaxed, he nodded and swore on illummino to fulfill his promise,

The faery relaxed, clapping his hands a golden door appeared at his back, jason eyed it warily and glanced a look back at daren and terra, they nodded,

"State where you want to appear and enter " the faery said,

Daren stepped forward,

"Vulpix" he said loud and entered in a glow of white light,

Terra followed in the same manner as daren and disappeared,
Jason stepped forwards and made to go when the faery held him back,

" you must protect your b- I mean lady friend, she is important in this" it said,

A confused jason nodded and said the name while entering the portal,
Great!, first illummino now the faery he thought,

The light sucked him in and twirled him around for a second before dumping him on raw soil, he groaned before raising his head up, it was not what he expected.

The sky was darkened withe the flames of a flying creature that attacked people, shadow warriors fought against men in armour with a flag raised high above that consisted of a rising sun and a flaming torch.

For the first time ever, jason experienced a medieval blood bath, the streets were covered with the bodies of men, he watched terra and daren battle a creature that looked half gorilla and the rest of it a lizard.
