The King in the Mountains
I look behind me and see all my friends waiting for me. If they're not home, I don't know what is!
"I'm ready to go guys!" I say.
"So soon?" Asks Daniel.
"Yes, I found my home, and it's you guys" I say before scrunching up the note saying that I'll be back.
"As long as I'm with you guys, I'm always home!" I say before giving them all a group hug. I close the door to my house.
"Let's go to the fire realm!" I say. The group claps and cheers. Before we go, we just have a rest.
Meanwhile, Liam uses his Godly powers to Teleport to the kingdom in the mountains where it is said that Henry Walter lives. Inside the mountain, it is cold dark and abandoned. Liam uses powers to light all the torches with a click of his fingers. The torches light up the massive halls and doorways. The banners and tapestries, but despite all of the wonders, the torches lead to a large scale set of wooded doors embedded with bronze, silver and gold. Liam walks up to the doors and opens them with a swift movement of his hands. Inside is thrown room. A majestic chandelier hangs from the ceiling above a rectangular wooden table bearing an enormous feast draped in spider webs and dust. What used to be a succulent roast beast is now a decaying pile of black mush. What used to be a bowl of fresh fruits is now a rotting home for spiders. There is a bottle of wine which seems to have aged for over 500 years!!! Liam sneakily grabs the bottle and puts it in his bag. At the far end of the table is an old man sitting at a throne with long withering white hair, pail deathly skin, he has bags under his cold icy staring eyes. His wrinkly face stares forward like a ghost as if waiting for nothing. It's hard to tell whether he's alive or not. His armour seems to be made from a thick strong metal which once shone like a star but now is covered in dust and cobwebs. He has one hand rested on his lap and the other hand holds an enormous Halberd.
"Hello?" Asks Liam.
"Are you King Henry Walter?" He continues. The king creaks his head and neck to face Liam as if he hadn't moved any part of his body in decades!
"Yes" breaths the king.
"Um, well, I'll just cut to the chase. I came here to see if you could help contribute to a cause" explains Liam. Henry leans his head intrigued by what Liam has to say.
"Well you see, My friends and I are reuniting the order of the griffon!" Says Liam but is paused when Henry says,
"Let me tell you something about the order! The side of the story that ONLY the order knows of" explains Henry before pulling his Halberd like a lever. As soon as this happens, the walls collapse revealing the walls underneath. There are paintings all over the walls underneath. As Liam looks at the paintings in awe, Henry tells stories of what is happening in them.
"Long ago during an era lost in the infinite pages of history, the world was a place of destruction, war and chaos. It was a world of horror and ruin and let alone nothing but terror. A shadow of merciless tragedy had reigned across the world. Hope was lost for all. All but five. Five friends, who would give so much to bring upon a new era. An era of peace and harmony. Despite their differences, they were determined to join forces and bring about this time of glory. They called themselves The Order of The Griffin.
There was Sheera Eladove, the elven sorceress. Who's magic would spark beauty and justice into the hearts of men. Her intelligence and wisdom spoke reason upon all enemies. Then there was Bayard IronBack, the dwarf warrior. His bravery and courage had inspired many to fight against the evil. He would never run from a fight even if all odds were against him. Clovelia, the healer. Clovelia was a dryad, a forest nymph who would help all who stumbled within her domain. She joined forces with Sheera, Bayard and Me, Henry Walter. Then we have our final member of the group, Cassyon UnderFoot. Cassyon was a halfling or a hobbit if you will. He was unlike all the other four members of The Order of The Griffin. While the other four had titles like Sheera the Intelligent, Bayard the Brave, Clovelia the Kind and Henry the humble, Cassyon went by another name. Cassyon the Seeker.
Together these five heroes achieved many great things, but what really made them legends was how they achieved peace. The five of them devised a system that they thought would permanently restore peace. They divided the land into 'realms'. They said that anywhere beyond the realms was unsafe and therefore, forbidden. However unlike the other four, Cassyon the Seeker disagreed with these terms and traveled far far beyond the other four realms. Far into the forbidden land where he was never seen again. Some say he died, some say he lost his mind as he ventured through the forbidden land, some say he found eternal life, power and glory but really nobody knows because no one followed him" explains Henry.
"I already knew all that stuff" replies Liam.
"You didn't let me finish! This is the part of the story that ONLY the order of the griffin knows of. We may have achieved peace for almost everyone but we did not achieve peace for ourselves. Cassyon went away, Bayard died trying to achieve peace and the three of us had an argument on who's fault it was. In the end, the three of us decided to go our own separate ways. Sheera went to rule the city of elves, Clovelia became some sort of Forrest Guardian and I hid away in the depths of this mountain. If we had known achieving peace would ruin our friendship we would never have done it in the first place. Our friendship meant so much to me. Anyway, before I went to the mountains, Clovelia gave me this-" says Henry before turning the hand on his lap around revealing a small leafy dragon.
"Ever since she gave me this, I've wondered what it does, but now that you're here, I think the answer is quite clear!" Says Henry.
"Yes?" Asks Liam but before he can answer, Henry's eyes wander and he is dead. He drops his Halberd and as it thuds on the ground, the building starts to collapse. The leafy dragon flies to Liam and as soon as it's in his grasp, Liam quickly teleports the leafy dragon and himself to the realm of dragons. They are both shocked to see that instead of friendly dragons and draconians flying about, they are surrounded by a man with purple skin in a maroon cloak with glowing blue eyes holding a skull tipped staff, a woman with purple skin in an emerald green cloak with glowing blue eyes and a matching skull tipped staff, tall menacing figure with a skull for a face and withering white hair underneath an intimidating crown. He is wearing body armour and is holding a bladed club, there is also a demon with red skin, enormous wings, four horns and an evil ugly face. There is a woman draped in tentacles with crown made of colourful corral, a handsome elf with gray skin, menacing red eyes and dark grey hair. There is a humanoid boar, a goblin with green skin holding a staff. He is cloaked in brown material and bones and lastly there is a stone giant made from the ruins of what's left of the sacred library.
"Stay behind me!" Yells Liam. The Goblin chief cackles an evil laugh before projecting a glowing green skull at them snapping it's sharp decaying teeth. The skull comes back to him like a boomerang and as it does this, the humanoid boar swipes across his boney jawed club across where Liam is. He dodges it and as he does, the stone giant hammers his fist down. Liam easily holds it's stone arm and crushes it with his bare hand. It's arm regenerates and it takes another swipe at him which Liam dodges and kicks. The woman draped in tentacles pulls out two swordfish from behind her back and holds them like katanas. Liam quickly magically generates two katanas of his own and has a sword fight with her. Slashing and clanging their weapons between one another while the skull faced figure swings his club at Liam. Liam successfully dodges the club while parrying the woman's attacks. Liam disarms the woman and suddenly the demon slashes his flaming whip at Liam's back but again, he dodges and blasts him with hard jets of water, extinguishing his evil flaming body. While the demon is vulnerable, Liam goes for another attack but is stopped by the grey elf's defending blade. The goblin throws out his green skull again biting into Liam's back. All of them attack at once and Liam is defeated. The purple man and the purple woman step forward and raise their skull staffs but just before they can do any more harm, Liam teleports to the front of the fire kingdom where the others have just arrived.
Lachlan and Jeremy park their SuperCars. Cogsworth and Rob lovingly come to a halt as well. Xanala floats down and forms into her human form. Daniel floats down after her.
"Liam! What are you doing here?!" I ask.
"It's a long story- w-w-wait! What's going on with Xander over there?" Asks Liam gesturing to Xander floating in mid-air whilst glowing a bright yellow.
"While you were gone, Xander became a god!" I say.
"Yeah!" Continues Xander happily. Liam's eyes start to jolt and spark with static electricity.
"THERE CAN ONLY BE ONE!" Yells Liam furiously.
