Chapter 15 - Music

"Are you ok?" Asked Levvis as the king walked on ahead ingoring Alice stuck behind the doors,entranced by the noise.

"I'm fine" she said pinned to the wall by the door.

The door trembled before Levvis's aura,returning the door to place without contact.Alice fell back to the floor"thanks" she said to Levvis as she returned to Artorious's side.

"Music?" Artorious had never heard this term,sounds came from his kingdom but never in a unified symphony like this.

"Music, is our elves greatest creation" said the man on the golden throne."In truth it isn't our creation rather remenents of our predassecors.Artorious belived he could bring "music" to his world far in the distance bellow him,he yearned to be worshiped as a messiah,that brought gifts upon this world.

"Who were your predessors?" Artorious asked.

Music does sound familiar,yes perhaps it's a aspect of my world,yes I shall bring music to this world.

"It was humans,however unlike you the don't hail from this world,they're beyond humans of current day.We don't have much proof or signs of their existence however before they left this peak,they left a single message."

The elven king looked towards the celling of his grand glistening throneroom,as Artorious and his party looked up they all noticed.Above them the celling that lacked the golden glimmer stood out.

An ethereal image covered the dome celling, an image of a human holding a sphere at the seems,he held the two contradicting halfs together. A message surronding the image circled the radius of the dome contineusly.

"We're still unaware of the messages translation,the script has been lost to time in our elvish lineage.The only thing we know is that those humans entrusted this land to us.

As Alice glanced at the celling she noticed the language resembled the engravements at the head of her staff.She tilt her head vertical to the point of almost falling over, Levvis proped her back up before her fall.

"Ohh thanks" said alice

"You really are odd" said Levvis

She lifted her staff lining up the text,to her suprise it matched.The elven king cowered from the staff as she lifted it above her head.

"W-where did you get that"

"I got it from my mother" said Alice

Is that Beatrice's daughter,no it couldn't be.He raised his wrist bringing his men aware.He let out a mischevious grin sat atop his golden throne,his long white garb rendered with symbol of a pheonix covering the thrones legs.

"May i look at that staff?"

"You ma-" said Alice quivering before Artorious's intervention "you shall not" he shouted echoing across the palace's domes.

The pallace was built forcing all sounds within it's domain to return to the throne,for the elven king could hear everything in the confindes of his throne room.

"Alice was a gift upon this world I shall not let you temper with her divene staff." Artorious claimed.

Alice exitedly giggled under her breath trying to hide her happiness.

She doesn't know thought the elf towering on his throne,she doesn't know how speical she truely is, I must claim her authority.

The elvish men readied the weapons, the sounds of their armour and weapons screeched,to the throne's user. He raised from his postition returning to his chambers behind his throne,graciously swiming through the golden silk covering the entrance.

"There truely is no peacefull route towards your dream" the beast words pulsed through the depth of Artorious's mind.The young maiden had response to this statement, a manic laugh followed the beasts words."If you're a god the world should be as you will it."

Rayleigh and Levvis raise the spears the sound paralyzing the guards in place,after moving further from the throne,the king quickly dealt them.

He slaughtered them in a single swoop,the beasts esscence formed a jagged blade, extending from his arms as if he wanted to cause painfull deaths.

They soilders that already posed no threat,had been removed from Artorious's world.

"You really are just like him" the girls voice clouded his mind,in a disguted tone.
