ELECTUS - A Tale Of Peaceful Demons.
Chapter 38 - The Throne Room
I'm the most honoured to stand in front of all of you as the New King. But what are my responsibilites as one?"
Asked Eric.
"Ask questions latter my King. Now we need to crown you. Please follow me."
Said Commander Alia with a proud voice.
As Commander Alia was walking towards the crowd of people that were standing behind her, they all cleared the way and stood aside, bending the knee. As a way of saluting.
Even though Eric is a newcomer, not to mention an ignite, the Calidum Lutum didn't seem to have trouble at all accepting him as the new King. They all bend the knee.
Well at least what the main entrance could fit.
But the Calidum Lutum don't even seem to know what racism is. Sure they disappeared to escape war but racism was never part of their dooing.
As for Eric, this is an amazing experience. Days ago he was considered nothing but a dirty used rag and now he stands tall as tens of abnormaly powerful Calidum Lutum bend the knee for him and Hundreds more accept him as a King. Who wouldn't be grateful of such honour?
After Commander Alia and Eric passed by, the men and women who bent the knee, stood up, lined up and followed. Rather well diciplined.
Passing the farm and the mine, they spiraled down a bit deeper to find what they seemed to call "The King's Hallway".
The Hallway didn't include much. Several Ignite Gems were giving a poor view of the twenty metter long and ten meter wide Hallway. But it was to be seen that a Throne was standing at the other edge of the Hallway and a crown on the top edge of the thrown's back support.
Well a rough stone throne wouldn't give much support to the back or bum for an ignite, but for a rough skinned Calidum Lutum, it was as soft as a pillow.
Commander Alia stops on the doorway and says
"My King. Only you may enter this room. As it prevents any of us from entering. Since the last King died, this Hallway became inaccessable. Only when a new King claims the throne, shall we enter this Hallway again."
"So what am i supposed to doo after entering?"
Asked Eric who didn't seem to show even a bit of fear in his eyes.
"Do you see that thrown over there? Approach it, grab the crown on it and put it on your head.
If you are worthy, the Crown will shrink appropriately to your head's size.
If you aren't worthy, the Crown will cause a massive explosion that will cause a mass collapse possibly killing half of us.
Good luck."
Said Alia while yelling a Command telling all the men and women to get to their caves.
"Is it a good idea to send him in there?"
Said Woldemir in a concerned tone.
"What if the crown explodes? I was sworn to protect that boy."
"I have good faith that he will claim the crown. You should have too. He is your son."
Replied Commander Alia with a comforting tone.
"You got this Eric."
"Go claim what's yours kid."
Shouted Stefan and Mogranius from the backround.
Unlike the rest who can't even enter the doorway, Eric easily went in. And touched his arms and legs to see if any of them were missing already. Fortunately they weren't.
As he walked closer and closer to the throne, he could see the throne getting bigger.
Perhaps from a distance, it's size was underestimated.
The Last King who sat on this throne clearly was over thirteen feet tall, as Eric had to fly in order to walk on the sitting area of the throne.
That area was a bit more than five feet above the ground. And the back support area was another six feet tall. a Big throne indeed.
But the throne was off less importance, the crown was what Eric is more concerned about.
He reached this far already. Getting the Crown wouldn't be a problem? You would think.
But he is about to claim a throne untouched for three thousand years that could cause an explosion vicious enough to kill half of a seven hundred people hidden civilization. Even the Grand Masters couldn't defend against this sort of explosion.
So the fear of possibly killing so many innocent people, increased hesitation in Eric's mind.
He saw what One Guard did to Three ill.u.s.tratios just because one friend of his was killed. If an explosion erupts, the survivors would tear the gang apart and Commander Alia wouldn't be able to stop them.
Due to this hesitation in Eric's heart, an earthquake appeared. The closer Eric reached out, the stronger the earthquake got.
Eric flew away from the crown and saw the earthquake calming down to the point where the cave wasn't shaking anymore.
He dropped to the ground and hit the dirt with his fist and yelled
"I can't do this."
And with a calmer griefing tone he said under his breath
"I can't do this. I'm just a kid. I'm not strong enough."
When he raised his head up again, he saw an old women. She seemed to be on her nineties and was a clear Ignite.
But her identity was proven when he saw the flame like glow burning in her eyes.
And the Black Veins covered all of her arm instead of just one portion, like Eric. It was clear that this Woman was an Electus. But which one? And how can she be standing in the same room as Eric.
