shadow heir

Chapter 9

At the elf kingdom, at the Royal place, the queen's sitting at her chambers reading a book. The book she's reading looks old and dusty, with weird engravings on it. The queen suddenly speaks, " it's been 12 years since I saw my child, Don't you ever wonder how he looks?, since you never saw him?" A cloaked skeleton comes out surprised, " You noticed that I was here, you've gotten stronger sister". The queen, being nonchalant, said, " Zafar, you're my brother. You still look ugly as usual." Zafar " ouch, I thought you'll be happy to see me, sis,otherwise I think I look cool."The queen is giving a stern look. " Why have you come out here to my nation, Zafar!!! Surely it wasn't for a stroll. " Zafar , come on , I can't just leave my obode to see my sister and nephew?, how long has it been? " The queen replied immediately." 100 000 years." Zafar " seeeeeee!!, it was yesterday and stop pouting, it ruins your face. "

Zafar walked slowly to an apple basket in the queen room and sat down while munching. Zafar says, " damn this is delicious even though I'm a skeleton, who says the dead don't eat." Zafar (while eating the apple)" Sis actually i was taking a stroll to your nation , gotta say love the place, saw a dead dwarf killed by your men." The queen with a stern voice " so?"Zafar," so I saw what he did before he was killed, me and him are kindred spirits, I used the nether tears you gave me to bring him back to life. " Zafar continues to take another apple and now sitting cross legged ," as you know sis when you ride with me you have to be beautiful, so I took a goblins head and replaced his with it , his name was Libeous, he's my soldier now".

The queen in amazement asked his brother why he wasted a nether eye. Zafar replied dramatically even shedding tears" The dude died without tasting the forbidden fruit, not done sister not done, so I took him up and we'll chase love together as you know my nation is the nation of love". The queen laughed so hard she shed a tear, the queen quoted his brother words about love. "The notion of love is a myth we tell ourselves, a comforting lie to mask the emptiness. "

The siblings chatted for a while until the night end, they talked about the warriors they've faced, with the queen saying "in all my young 5 years of life, only 10 warriors managed to nearly kill me, in wich 2 are alive , one is dead." Zafar " wow, sis. I didn't expect you to be kind, letting people live." The queen smiling just gave a nod to everything blushing. Zafar switching tones. " So sis, I heard you're going through with your mission ." The queen stopped laughing." we have a blood contract, brother. We have to accomplish everything, Did you forget our goal ?Did you forget how we got to this position?" Zafar " Sis, I understand that, but killing your own blood isn't the answer. There's a line you don't wanna cross, and that's killing family ." The queen turns serious." Don't act innocent. We've killed more blood to have emotions, and we have a contract to oblige by." The queen" Besides the ritual needed an otherworlder's seed for it to be realized, The only gift of the otherworlder is that they can cause a disrupt in realms, belonging to theirs and not this one causes all rules that bind to this realm not apply to him, he was the key to opening the nether realm, now my sons the key to releasing him." Zafar " I love when you're heartless , sis. I really do , I know why I didn't attempt this procedure myself now because all this could turn against you." The queen pissed off wanted her brother to leave if he came there for a warning.

Zafar, before departing, wanted to see his nephew. The queen, mad about the warning, said, " If you wanted to see him, you should've been here when he was born." Zafar didn't say something but asked something." Why did you allow your son to be with that sage?" The queen " I didn't want the ritual to fail because my son is weak, besides the monk is strong enough to give me a massage, little bruise, hair and nail treatment , I remember him 10 000 years ago." Zafar left with his new knight Libeous,with these last words " someone's talent can sharpen one's technique, The master might be weak but the student isn't, he also advised that the queen pay attention to his knight Thalion because he emitted strong murderous intent."

The queen sat alone, mumbling. " He decides to have a conscious now!! When he killed those people those millions of ants , he was smiling and he knows that he's the most sadistic between the two of us, he sleeps with the people he kills, now he wants to sit here and pretend to be a Saint." The queen looks at Thalion saying," Don't worry, you'll get your chance of blood, but remember, we will not kill Jaron and Itachi." Thalion just sat there in silence, not even replying with his murderous intention leaking out. The queen continues to ramble. " he busy wasting my nether tears. He can go jump off a cliff for all I care."

Thalion asked to be allowed to leave. He was given permission. As he left, he went into his room meditated. As he meditates, he pictured killing Jaron a  thousand times.  Jaron suddenly sneezed at his bed, unknowing of the murderous intentions coming for him.

Libeous asked his new master where they are going or setting out to. Zafar replied, " Well, my new puppet, I'm going to my brother-in-law for some drinks ." Libeous asked if his master was serious about giving him his first time. Zafar agreed, stating, " I like to keep my soldiers happy and fit to prevent betrayals."Libeous asked his master why his face is a skeleton and whether him and the queen are sisters because the queen is an Elf and he is a skeleton.  Zafar replied by saying, " Well, some view elfs as beautiful, but to me, they're repulsive, so when i got power, I asked to change my face into a skeleton." Libeous asked his master who does he think will win this war between his sister or the dwarfs?
Libeous laughed and said, " My dear puppet, those fools aren't near my sisters level yet, but I'm kind. I'll give them a little push."
