Chapter 7
THE PRINCESS IN THE FOREST
The fierce dragon keep terrorizing the land, setting fields ablaze and causing panic among the villagers, No one could save or help the land.
Esau took OMEGA's corpse to the neighboring village the land of CAMELOT and bury him there.
In the custom of this land, it was a strict taboo for a king to be buried in foreign soil. However, the consequences of defying the age-old tradition soon became apparent.
After burying the king in a foreign soil thunderstorm of wrath strikes. The skies darkened, and lightning struck the castle, setting it ablaze. The land itself seemed to rise against Esua's defiance. Crops withered, rivers ran dry, and disease plagued the kingdom,the once-fertile land started to show signs of degradation. Crops failed, and the once-abundant water sources dried up. The villagers experienced food shortages,
With time,the king became seriously ill,his condition was worsening rapidly, leaving the kingdom in a state of despair. The news of the king's critical condition spread like wildfire throughout the land. The royal physicians were baffled by the mysterious ailment that had befallen their beloved ruler. None of their remedies or potions seemed to alleviate his suffering,The kingdom was on the brink of chaos.
Soon both animals and little children start dying.
The kingdom of CAMELOT indeed faced its own set of troubles although been aware of Esua's action.
Soon the Elders of the land invited the high priest to communicate with the gods and tell them what they have done to deserve the kind of suffering they have been passing through lately.
The priest after the incantation told them that a king from another land have been buried in their land.
The people of the land was confused and speechless as the brave among them ask of the remedy or solution.
"The solution is to take back the freed Dragon to Ancient OMRI MOUNTAIN and get his horn for the king to drink from it and a cupful of his blood to cleanse the land from the evil inflicted by Esau." The priest said
The great one "How do we achieve this mission?"One of the elders ask.
"Seven chosen able and valiant youth shall be fortified to embark on this journey which Prince CARVAJAH shall be the leader."The priest added.
"That can't be,My heir cannot embark on such dangerous mission,What if he didn't make it alive that means I will die childless without a successor"- the king said
"My Lord,that is the only solution and the gods have spoken", the priest said and turn to leave.
"My son can never embark on that journey,I rather die than allowing my son to risk his life". The King maintain his stand.
Prince CARVAJAH was confused as the fate of his people lies on his shoulders, Will I embark on this journey he asked himself? No am the heir to the throne and am important but my people are more important. what do I do now? he ask,lost in his thought.
The people of MEDIDA searched for their king for weeks but couldn't find him,the elders of the land made known to the inhabitants of the land that the king have been killed but the question was *who is the traitor*
