The last King
"Barricade those doors!" a dragon, in a silver and blue uniform, ordered to others who wore black and silver uniforms.
Instantly they picked up the solid oak wood tables and braced them against the solid redwood doors. Piling them on top of each other.
King Monroe Algamore
clenched his sword in his hands with a friece grip that whitened his knuckles. He could hear the death outside and could smell the blood that stained his kingdom's ground. Countless men have lost their lives to defend the last king. His personal guard stood before him in his throne room. A wide range of weapons with them all. From battle axes to katans to short bows. These men were willing to lay down their lives for this one man.
"Here it comes!" someone yelled from the other side of the door. There were battlecries and roars and the twang-thump of arrows and bolts slammed into wood. The fight quickly turned into screams that immediately ceased.
Those with melee weapons braced their bodies against the barricade while the ranged soldiers stood before the last king. Weapons aimed at the door.
It was eerily silent. The room was filled with emotions none of them good. Anxiousness, fear, cowardness, loyalty. It all filled the room in the silence. It was so quiet that they could all hear their own heart beats as if they were booming war drums pounding from within. The seconds stretched into minutes.
The guard had just relaxed slightly when the doors were blow open in a fiery inferno. Any soldier that wasnt reptilian was incinerated into ash. Splinters went flying everywhere. Impaling soldiers as much as they broke and injured them. The rest jumped back or towards the side. Protecting themselves as best as they could. King Algamore deflected the splinters with his sword and stood ready. Waiting for the King of Demons to come for him.
The surviving guards rushed to Algamore's side. Ready to fight.
Gavin Bayar slowly walked in. His hands clasped behind his back as he took in the view. Before him laid the charred bodies of King Algamore's guards. Those that were caught in the blast anyways. Among them laid injured too hurt to be of use. And a yards away stood king Algamore and the remainder of his guard.
"Ah" Gavan said smiling his bone chilling smile. "King Monroe Algamore." he said. Saying each word slowly as if to savor it. "The last king within the Land of Calneva" he said gesturing to the TV that showed chaos. "An empire ruled by destruction and chaos." he calmly walked to a nearby book shelf and looked through the titles.
"Gavan Bayar." Algamore said standing straighter. "The King of demons"
Gavan chuckled and pulled out a random book. Flipping through the pages slowly. "I see my reputation proceeds me"
Algamore growled. "My brothers and sisters of the royal court have disappeared." he said trying his best not to attack the demon. "Where are they Bayar?" he demanded
"I've no idea of what you speak, your highness" Gavan replied with a bow. "I've merely come to speak with you and you alone" as soon as he said those words all the kings guards dropped dead. A knife or arrow all in their backs. Algamore jumped and turned weapon held ready. "Pesky pest they are" Gavan said as he walked to the kings throne.
Algamore roared and shot a fire ball at the demon. The last of his men died at the hands of the demon before him. For all he knew so had his brothers and sisters.
Gavan dispersed the flames and shot black fire back at Algamore.
He braced himself. Holding his sword in a defensive stance as he took the hit. It was a terrible mistake.
Algamore shouted in pain as he was overcome with a burning sensation. It was not the seething and burning heat dragon scales were accustomed too. No. This was a freezing and lifeless fire. It froze Algamore on the spot forcing his scream to stop mid way.
Gavan grinned and walked down to the frozen king. "Black fire" he said as a flame of darkness appeared in his hands. "Sucks the life out of everything. Dangerous when uncontrolled but deadly when controlled." he stood infront of the king. "Do not fret, my lord.' he said grinning evily "I will not harm you" he said as they were surrounded by darkness. The ground underneath them opened up and swallow the both up. The darkness following right after them.
