As per the plans, commander in chief was supposed to lead
the army. But anxious Maxim raced in front of them, leading them to the way
familiar to him.
Queen Candice had broken the ground rules for the queen of
faraway land- she had joined the army against the wishes of royal pastors in
search of her dearest.
“ Now ! Now! Don’t cry, sweet heart! There is no use of
those tears. There is no one out there to hear you cry?”Arcus said when he saw
Princess Adele cry. “Get ready for the
ultimate sacrifice!” he said with loud and scary laugh.
Arcus got ready with his plan. He drew a huge star where he
placed each ingredient for sacrifice on each triangular corner of star. The
room was candle lit. He bought her with her hands tied back and mouth taped by
the cloth. He started murmuring the spells-praying every devil to accept him
and grant him powers.
As Arcus was busy with the spell, the army surrounded his
castle. Commander in chief and Maxim was hiding behind the pillars in the room.
They waited patiently for the right moment.
Arcus took one of his sharpest swords while blabbering the
spells. He stabbed her instantly. But to
his dismay, the blood didn’t come out of her body. She was still intact. There
was no injury. He tried hard this time. But nothing happened. He used the sword
to cut his wrist. “ Ahhh!” , he cried. The pain was unbearable. He realised
what was going on. The spell! Someone used the alternate spell to diffuse his
plan.
He turned back. It was Maxim. “ Oh my trick on me! You, clever lad!”, he
said. “Yes, indeed! You must have forgotten that I am a quick learner. I
observe and learn.”Maxim said.
“Ah! But you forgot that your teacher has been doing this
for many years. You have half knowledge of all tricks. You cannot beat me. I am
the greatest and powerful among all.” Arcus said with wicked grin.
“ Then I challenge you to defeat me. If I win, you leave
princess alone.” Maxim said boldly. Arcus said,
“ Ha! If you lose, then you
will never intervene my plans or think about saving Princess.” Maxim agreed to the condition. But back of
his mind, he knew that he had gotten himself into trouble. How was he going to
defeat his own master? This question wandered in his mind , making him
vulnerable and lost.
