ETERNAL KINGDOM

″Ark how much further till we reach the coast?″ said the boy that was panting heavily, he only wore a small piece of cloth made from the skin of an animal covering only his most private areas. His body was well built all the muscles could be clearly seen, his hair was black in colour neither was it straight nor was it curly but wavy, his skin was neither white nor black but brown, he wasn’t tall or short and seemed to be young not more than 20 years old. “Keiser, we are close just a bit further...” before he finished speaking the boy interrupted suddenly and said, “didn’t you just say the same thing a while back. huh am getting hungry ark do you have anything to eat?” All the monsters and beast bowed their head when they saw these two daring not to provoke them. “We have been running for 6 hours I think it’s best if we rest, we won’t reach the coast until dawn either way,” said Keiser. Both of them suddenly stopped and looked around to find a good place to sit down and relax. Not far away they spotted a large tall tree with gigantic leafs, and quickly went towards it.

keiser threw himself, his back facing the ground as he exhaled. The air he exhaled was visible and could be seen, as the night was cold and the days were hot on this strange island. He faced the sky where small black wings were dancing under the beautiful bright full moon. The black dragon spoke with a deep voice saying,” Keiser, we have been in this accursed island for almost 18 years. You have conquered this island, all the beasts and monsters recognise you as the master of the island. Remember 10 years ago I told you we could only leave this island if you conquer all the creatures living and rule over them. Since you have already done that there is no more reason for us to stay on the island it’s time for us to leave here and chase our dreams. This island is separated into two parts dividing them up is a lake and just by following the lake we will reach the coast.” Keiser looked at Ark and with a confused look, he said,” Ark how are we gonna leave here if we reach the coast? we don’t have any ship to sail the oceans and clearly I can not ride you so long as you stay in that small form.”

Ark was the name of the Black Dragon. In some kingdoms mothers scare the children who misbehave by saying,” the black wings will dive down with his scary big jaws and eat you if you don’t behave and be a good child.” None knows in the outside world where the once prideful dragon who terrorized their land is not even his own race the dragons knew except for the few responsible for his state. “Don’t worry Keiser, I already have a plan on how we going to leave,” said ark as his eyes gazed sharply at the huge tree as if enforcing it’s will upon it then suddenly the fruits of the tree fell on top of Keiser. They rested there for a while, then started heading toward the coast following the lake.

In the northern part of the forest, the monsters were feasting as they danced joyfully with a big smile on their faces, as it occasionally turned into sad faces almost about to cry. The biggest among them said,” the king is finally leaving, and we didn’t even repay the debt we owed to him.” The one that just spoke seemed to be over 9 feet tall with a big spear created from a special mineral called Larium on his back, two long horns directly facing the heavens as if opposing them, and with a scar running from his upper chest all the way to his stomach could be clearly seen. From a single glance. you can tell, he is a warrior strong enough to send terrifying thoughts at his enemies, however, his eyes are as red as blood with tears flowing from it and had hooves instead of legs while fur covered his lower body. This is the tribe of minatouros led by the great Gabo the master of the Northern Forest. Surrounding him are all his subordinates, they were differences among them in skin colour and the size of their horns. The strongest one being Gabo with black skin and two large horns. They are also yellow, red, brown and white coloured skins. Chief, one of them said,” don’t cry the king left the northern part of the forest under your control. You should be happy.” thus they all laughed as they continued their feast.

They are four types of monsters that Keiser appointed to rule the island. The southern part is ruled by the werewolves and their leader known as Afil the clever wolf, the northern by the minatouros, the Eastern part is ruled by the goblins and their leader was the goblin chief called azazu the mad warrior and the western part is ruled by the lioones clan who is the strongest of all the four tribes and was led by Simba.

Finally, the two reached the coast at dawn as the sun rose from the east as It always had regardless of the situation. The world didn’t know yet but this is how the adventure of Keiser starts from a strange island filled with beasts and monsters. Mist surrounded the coast of the island making it difficult for Keiser to see through it. “Ark, we have reached the coast so how are we gonna leave? surely you didn’t mean for us to swim, right?” I said that as I looked at the dragon who was on top of my left shoulder. “I once saw a small boat when I came here and I hid it inside a cave just beneath the rocks there, come we will take that and leave here but before that Keiser let’s make a contract of brotherhood,” said ark with a serious look in his face. “I have watched you grow up, overcome your weakness taught you the language of man and beasts. keiser you are my little brother and I do not wish any harm to befall you, the outside world is full of the strong and mighty, and as long as you strive towards your dream, you will have to overcome each and every one of the obstacles in your way, and as long as you have life in you, I will always be by your side.” Keiser started laughing and said,” you have always been my brother come let’s form the contract. Let’s go and chase after out dreams, the world is waiting for us.”

I bit my finger and blood flowed from it so did Ark. our blood made a circle with some unknown writing to me, ark said,” from today onwards, you are my brother whom I will never abandon.” Suddenly white light enveloped both of us and the flowing blood returned to my finger with the blood of the dragon. It was really painful and I lost my consciousness when the blood returned to me. I woke up in a dark place but I felt way better than before as if I became much stronger. I tried jumping and my body felt so light. I can easily hear 100 metres of everything that surrounds me, my eyesight and all my senses improved drastically. “Ah, your woke up Keiser. Come help me push the boat,” said the dragon. I pushed the small boat from the cave and memories of the strange island started resurfacing in my mind. The difficult battles which made me stronger and who I am today, The feasts that came after every battle, the dancing, the crying, the war and the peaceful times, but I have already made up my mind, however, you guys will always be my first army the residents of the island. I will send them a ship that all of them can fit into once I conquer a land. I hopped on the boat then suddenly I could see the four chiefs of the tribes standing on top of the hill. “Their was no need for farewells just,” I will see u later and guys take care of my island,” I said as I disappeared into the mist. I heard the howls wishing me fortunes I couldn’t look back so I wiped my tears and disappeared into the mist thus was how me and ark left and begun our journey.

Across the world, The experts could feel a new era was upon them as war broke out on the borders of different kingdom. In a secular location at the top of the mountains where the snow was falling nonstop was a small building made of wood with a simple design and surprisingly it was strong enough to withstand the harsh winds. An old man came out of the small house with a big beard and a bald head with a big scar on his face starting from near his left eye to all the way down his chin, he looked scarier than any monster and was missing an arm. His eyes looked crazed as if it could swallow all that he laid it upon, he slowly muttered to himself saying,” war upon the seven kingdoms.”
