CREED, The Fiery Storm

La Carga de Saber

"Ignorance really is bliss..."

He lifted up the crown and rested it upon his head. Instantly, he felt an enormous amount of power flowing through him. There were voices outside and inside the castle. It was an entirely different place. Jim looked through the window and saw it and them-the hidden realm and its men. It was expansive and marvelous; a city spreading out in all directions of the castle.

"Can't you feel it?" He heard a voice shout from outside, "The lord has finally remembered us!!"

"Yeah!!!" a hundred thousand men shouted in unison. Then there were the whispery conversations in the corridors...

"Now is our time to seize the crown..." One whispered, "We'll pass the resolution in the senate."

"Using the senate she set up against her! That's just evil..."another replied, "I like it."

"Creed! Creed!" He thought he heard someone call him-but that was impossible!

"CREED! You were right! They were looking for the crown...and some ring!"

He realised Breala was in fact the one calling him all along.

"No kidding!" He responded.

"We should leave right now. If they got what they wanted they have no use for the Krichnd." Breala whimpered emotionally.

"Just a minute, I'll be right there." Jim retorted.

"We don't have a minute!" she barracked, "We should go right now!!"

"Okay, alright!" He muttered as he hid the crown (which she had somehow not seen!) again and sealed the compartment. Breala rushed down the stairs and Jim followed closely. She was acting fast and thinking faster-the situation required it. First, she checked the stables and realised it was empty!

"There are no horses in the stables!!"She reported when she returned.

"You think!!" Jim responded sarcastically, "Whoever took the Krichnd took them too."

"She used the h-word!" Strost complained to Jim.

"Not now Strost! We'll fight for your rights later!" He responded.

"I can get a carriage; do you think your friend can pull all of us?" Breala asked Jim referring to Strost. Jim passed on the question to Strost...

"Of course! I am a horse after all!!" Strost replied sarcastically.

"He says; he can try." Jim interpreted. In truth, Strost didn't think he could manage the task but there was no turning back now.

"Good. Let's go and get the carriage..."Breala bid him. She led him deep into the castle where they retrieved a very old carriage.

"What's that for? Are you going to start a bonfire?!" Duke dissed them. He hadn't been around and nobody had even noticed! It had been much quieter without him but now he was here.

"No. We will travel in it." Jim responded as he, together with Breala, attached the carriage to Strost.

"Don't talk just work!!"Breala yelled.
