THE SECRET KINGDOM NARRATOR Beyond iron bars, powerful magic, seals, and chainsfar past the Isle of the
Selenias and the dark mist, beyond the storm clouds and spectral screamsan entire civilization had survived.
One that was believed to be extinct.
Baltazar, the Regent of the Realm, was deep in a meeting with his advisors when the grand doors of the hall
burst open, and one of the guards stumbled in, his face pale with panic.
"T hope what you have to say is a matter of life and death," he said coldly, his sharp brown eyes locking onto the
trembling man.
"Y-Your Lordship...
weve received all kinds of reports from the kingdoms borders," the man stammered.
"T-The..." speak, damn it!" "The boundary mist is receding!" the guard blurted out in one breath, sweat dripping
down his face.
Baltazar immediately grasped the gravity of the situation.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHe bolted from his chair, storming onto the balcony and shoving the heavy doors open.
His wise eyes scanned the skythe thick, dark clouds that barely allowed any light to filter through were shifting
rapidly in one direction.
The winds howled furiously, and in the distance, thunder cracked, ---- mingled with voices and whispers carried
by the storm.
He remembered the dream he had just nights ago, the one where the King had spoken to him.
Baltazar had thought it was just his imaginationhe had never seen the King before.
For millennia, they had always known they had a King.
They themselves had chosen him, the one who kept them safe from danger, from supernatural monsters Those
horrible, unnatural, undesirable beings that had no place in the society they had built over thousands of years,
finally flourishing as a powerful kingdom.
A kingdom bom from a secluded elemental village deep in the mountains.
"General!" he called out, storming back into the hall.
His red robe, embroidered with golden sigils, gleamed against the perpetual darkness that ruled these hidden
lands.
"Prepare the army! We are in a state of maximum alert! Protect the civilians, notify all the duchies and their
soldiersevery corner of the realm must be informed!" He began issuing orders left and right.
After all, this was his dutyto carry out the will of the King, their highest deity.
"sir, may Task...
what exactly is happening?" the General questioned.
"The Elemental Realm is about to go to war.
His Majesty is preparing to cross the barrier," Baltazar said with absolute ---- conviction, now certain that his
dream had been real.
A wave of realization swept through the room.
The fear of the unknown thickened the air.
Far above them, amidst the vortex of raging, dark currents that nearly blocked out the sun and moon, a
silhouette took form in the swirling shadows.
Golden eyes opened slowly, their fury as alive as it had been millennia ago.
He had survived.
Of course, he had.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThe hatred in his heart was too greatno Goddess would dictate his fate.
He would bechis own god.
His golden pupils constricted, momentarily confused.
There was something else in his mind, a nrepeating in an endless loop.
He couldnt quite remember.
Sigrid.
What did the word Sigrid mean to him?
