3 MONTHS LATER

Noah and Ramsay has fully learned how to use and control their power with their bare hands and mind, and could now call themselves a wizard. King Raynold, Zussorender and the royal princes were all happy that they could use and controlled their magic.

Zussorender decided to have one last training with the two royal princes and he called them to the palace training ground.

The two royal princes stood in front Zussorender and bow to him to show their respect, Zussorender bow to them. Zussorender said to the royal princes ''i know you both have extraordinary skill in swordsmanship so i wouldn't try to challenged you to a sword contest. You have also learned everything about magic and you are good with it but....''.

Zussorender was cut short of words as Noah cut in, ''all thank to you master'' said Noah with a smile.

''You welcome. But i will like to challenge you both to a fist fight'' said Zussorender.

Noah smirked while Ramsay smiled and said to Zussorender ''i know you told us never to judge humans by their appearance but i don't think you should challenge us to fist fight''.

"I know you don't like when people call you this but you are an old man master. How can you challenge both of us to a fist fight and won't lose'' said Noah.

''You think i would lose because i look old to you both, that is very funny of you both. I can make myself young if i want to don't forget that. It's just that I will only be deceiving myself'' said Zussorender

''I don't think you should challenge us to anything master. We are not the same Noah and Ramsay you once know. You taught us well that we can now call ourselves master, even one of us will defeat you in anything not to talk of the both of us'' said Ramsay courageously.

''I know that i taught you so well that me myself think you magic ability supersede mine and i have my reason for teaching you very well which you will understand one day. Seeing your ability now is the reason why i didn't challenged you to a sword or magic fight but a fist fight. And If you both defeat me i will kneel in front of you both and call you master'' said Zussorender.

''Are you joking or for real?'' asked Ramsay (in disbelief).

''Am serious. All you have to do is defeat me'' said Zussorender.

''And you promise not to cheat?'' asked Noah and Zussorender nodded his head.

''I promise to best you one day master if you remember, but i never thought i was going to have the chance to. But now you place the chance before me, i think am gonna take it'' said Ramsay with a smile and courageously.

''I guess we will see then'' said Zussorender.

''I don't want to master'' said Noah in disagreement.

Ramsay and Zussorender was surprised and confused when Noah said that.

''Why?'' Ramsay asked Noah.

''I just don't want to. It 2 against one and he is our master, an old man brother'' said Noah to Ramsay.

''It's what he want not us'' said Ramsay to Noah, trying to change Noah thought.

''You both must fight me and if you won only then will i believe i did a great job being your master'' said Zussorender to Noah.

''You heard him'' said Ramsay to Noah.

''You must fight me Noah'' said Zussorender.

Noah didn't want to but he choose to fight alongside his brother against Zussorender so he could prove to Zussorender that Zussorender is a great teacher. ''Okay'' said Noah.

The two royal princes attacked Zussorender as Zussorender took his fighting stance ready to fight them. Zussorender dodged and blocked every move the two royal princes made with their fists and foots to hit him until he was able to get an open chance to hit them. Zussorender hit Noah on the face and kicked Ramsay on his chest, Ramsay fell on the ground in slight pain while Noah continued to fight Zussorender but he was also beaten by Zussorender and laid next to Ramsay.

Zussorender said to the two royal princes as the royal princes stood up ''i guess i won''.

''You did'' said Noah ( now standing, same with Ramsay).

''We underestimate you'' said Ramsay.

''Yes you did but that isn't the reason why you lost. You both lost because you both didn't attacked as one but as two'' said Zussorender.

''What do you mean by that master?'' Noah asked Zussorender (confused same with Ramsay).

''You both fought against me not as partner but as a different person which is not what you are suppose to do. You are supposed to combine your skills together into one and made yourself one, then attack me as one. If you do that you can both have a better chance at defeating me'' said Zussorender.

Ramsay and Noah looked at each other in agreement to do what Zussorender said, ''Can we give it a try?'' Ramsay asked Zussorender.

''Sure. Let go again'' said Zussorender, then Noah and Ramsay attacked Zussorender.

This time, Noah attacked the upper body of Zussorender while Ramsay attacked the lower body at the same time.

Zussorender tried his best not to be defeated by the two royal princes, he dodged and blocked their moves but he was later defeated. The two royal princes kept attacking Zussorender very fast at the same time until they saw an open chance and hit Zussorender on his face, belly and leg, and he fell on the ground in pain.

Ramsay happily said to Zussorender who was still lying on the ground in a little bit of pain ''we won''.

''I guess so'' said Zussorender with a smile but still in pain.

Noah helped Zussorender up and he and Ramsay kneel in front of Zussorender, Zussorender was confused and surprised when and why they did that.

''Thank you master. Thank you for everything you have done for us'' said Noah.

''We will forever be grateful to you'' said Ramsay.

Zussorender smiled and said to them ''am so proud of you too, and lucky to have you both as my apprentice'', then Zussorender stand them up and hugged them.

2 DAYS LATER ( LYTHRIDITE (NIGHT)

Zussorader, Philip and the mercenaries had fully made their plans and ready to carry it out. Zussorader, Philip and the mercenaries left their post and met with each other to discussed in secret, after discussing they made their way in secret to the sacred hall with their swords unsheathed.

On their way to the sacred hall they were stopped by some guards who were patrolling. The guards asked them where they are headed and why they left their post but Zussorader, Philip and the mercenaries couldn't come up with a good excuse or a better lied so they had to killed the guards and hid their bodies one side then they continued their journey to the sacred hall.

On getting to the sacred hall they met the five light army soldiers (guarding the sacred hall door), Zussorader said to the mercenaries to attack the five light army soldiers.

Seeing the mercenaries was no match for the five light army soldiers because the five light army was killing the mercenaries, Philip ordered the remaining mercenaries to stop attacking the five light army soldier and stand back.

Immediately the remaining mercenaries stopped attacking the five light army soldiers and stepped back, Philip and Zussorader attacked the five light army soldiers. The five light army soldiers were more skillful than Zussorader and Philip in swordsmanship, they hit Zussorader and Philip away and they fell on the ground.

Zussorader and Philip stood up, ''they are more powerful than we expect. How do we defeat them?'' Philip asked Zussorader.

''We use our power'' said Zussorader and they attacked again.

Zussorader and Philip were able to defeat the five light army soldiers with their magic, they killed the five light army soldier and they faded away with their weapons. Zussorader and Philip ordered the remaining mercenaries to stand watch at the door and not to let anyone in, then Zussorader and Philip made their way in to the sacred room.

Another group of guards patrolling the palace ground saw the dead guards and sound the emergency alarm bell.

King James asleep in his chamber (shirtless) was awoke by the sound of the bell and sit up wondering what might have happened for the bell to be rang, just then the head guard entered into the king's chamber and inform him about the dead guards. King James wore his clothe (top), pick up his sword and left his chamber with the head guard.

Princess Tracy was also awoke by the sound of the bell, she picked her bow and quiver full of arrows, and made her way to her father's room. On her way to her father's room, Princes Tracy saw King James with the head guards and some guards walking hurriedly to somewhere, she went to meet her father.

On getting to her father, princess Tracy asked her father ''what happened father?''.

''Some guards were found dead in the palace'' said King James to his daughter.

''Where are you headed now?'' asked princess Tracy.

''To the scared hall. I think that is the motive of whosoever infiltrated the palace'' said King James.

AXRAX

King Raynold asleep in his chamber (shirtless) suddenly woke up as soon as he felt the five light army soldiers in Lythridite has been killed. He stood up called in a guard and told him to get a raven ready for him immediately, the guard left.

The guard returned back with a raven bird and gave it to King Raynold (now wearing clothe). King Raynold went outside of his chamber and said some words into the ear of the bird, then let it fly.

LYTHRIDITE

Zussorader and Philip walked into the sacred hall and saw the mind crystal where it was placed, they both ran toward it to take it.

As they both get close to the mind crystal, a barrier hit them back. As the barrier hit them back the sword they were holding fell from their hands and Zussorader changed back to his real self as they both hit the ground in pain and cough out blood. Zussorader and Philip groaned in pain as they both stood up and clean the blood on their lip without picking up their sword.

''What the hell is that?'' Philip asked Zussorader.

''I think it is a barrier, it has even made me changed back'' said Zussorader as he touched his face and looked at his body.

''A barrier?. How come we can't see it'' said Philip as he look around.

''The barrier must have been created by the powerful wizards of then. But it been created for a thousand years now so it will be weak, i think we can break it'' said Zussorader.

Zussorader stretched his right hand forward and could feel the barrier but still couldn't see it.

Zussorader said to Philip ''give me your hand i need your power''.

Philip stretched his hand forward and Zussorader held it with his left hand. Zussorader holding Philip's hand with his left hand began to channel Philip's power and his into his right hand which is on the air feeling the power of the barrier, then he began to chant some spell to break the barrier. It doesn't take long before Zussorader were able to break the barrier and that almost drained all their powers and make them weak. The both of them walked slowly to where the mind crystal was placed, wrapped the mind crystal with a clothe on getting to the mind crystal and took it.
