chapter seven: Max
The people of the crowd had been told who was responsible for E's death. They ceased their yelling as they found themselves fighting for the man who took their prince from them. They were very unhappy with themselves.
At that point in time I began to realize how many lives E had mattered to. He really had made himself important to the people of his village. This made me even sadder.
The man that had spoken up before pushed his way to the front of the crowd. He steadily walked over to us. He held pain in his eyes.
"Is it really the kings fault?" He asked in a painful tone.
"I'm afraid so." Am responded gently. She was the one in our group who had the impeccable ability to talk to people with wanted to punch them in the face.
"He was my fiancee." We were all shocked.
"Fiancee?"
"Yeah. His parents didn't know, but we were going to get married. Then one day he told me he was leaving. I wanted to go with him. He said he needed to do it alone. He said he would come back."
"Well we don't kniw what he left for, and we're very sorry it came down to this."
"I know why he left." I said. Everyone just looked at me.
"I was wrong. He wasn't flirting with Sam. He did find Sam attractive and let's face it, Sam is a very handsome man. He said he left because of his mother. When he told us this he eye twitched slightly. That's his tell. I decided not to call him out on in because I knew there had to be a reason he lied."
"Do you know what that reason is?" May asked.
"I'm getting there. He may have pulled the best magic trick of all time. I knew from the first time he used his powers that his magic was very strong. When we walked by his room I noticed maps with our campsite area marked. He also had pictures of diamonds on his wall. He knew we were there. He came there to smoke us out so his family could mine for natural resources. He was never on our side. He played us."
"Well i guess his plan failed now that he got killed."
"Thats the magic trick. He's not dead. He staged the whole thing. He let one of the guards go. I saw it as an act of mercy but in all reality that guard was a signal. He let the king know that we were on our way."
"You should have just kept your mouth shut." Right after he said that, the man tried to wack May in the head with a mallet. I tackled him before he could. Sam ripped his arm off. The rest of the crowd just watched things happen.
The group and I decided to return to our island and put E in his place. I just flew us there on one of my clouds. We got there within a few minutes.
When we arrived we found just the sight we expected. E, along with all the soldiers we had killed, were tearing up the Earth.
