quaila

As Luca was about walking through the back door, a guard ran in and was heading towards his father.

"Hey!", He spoke aloud, interrupting the panicking guard.

The man inadvertently looked at him and began to go towards him instead of his father after seeing his gesture.

"My Lord, horses are on a rampage...", The man reported.

"What do you mean horses are on a rampage?", Luca asked confused.

"Some horses escaped from a stable and have been running all over the city; injured some, killed a few and destroyed several properties!", The man explained.

Luca quickly called out the other guards and ordered: "Kill them all!"

The men went out immediately with bows, spears and swords.

As soon as Luca saw that the men were out, he tightened his fist regretting why he didn't join in the killing.

Nobody actually thought about him, but he felt he was the most depressed.

His brother slept with his girlfriend few weeks before he made her his fiance. His plan initially was to take her out of Quaila to another Kingdom where they can be accepted and live together. Unfortunately, his promiscuous brother Miguel defiled the love of his life.

His father, the strongest Quailan had obviously and drastically began to deteriorate. Conclusively, one can say that the battle for Apical head coming up in a few days would send them out of the Apical head Chamber.

He too is not at his best to fight a serious battle.

But he still has to act strong for the mean time, acting up for his sober father who was seemingly still thinking about these things.

"Arghhhhh!", He war cried and ran out with his sword.

……

Meanwhile, Miguel who caused the horse rampage was in one of the horses he released from the stable where the so called useless horses were.

On this horse he rod back to the Apical head chambers in his Phytillian disguise.

After getting down from his horse he walked towards the building.

"I would like to speak with Sir Mercury!", He spoke to a watch guard.

"You can't do that!", The guard replied immediately.

"Why is that?!", Miguel asked with a frown.

"He was arrested...", The guard replied.

"What?!", Miguel replied shocked.

How in Quaila was Mercury kidnapped? What must he have done?

"Which cell?", Miguel asked.

"Who are you?!", The guard asked now alarmed at this strangeman, whose face he couldn't clearly see.

"Are you his accomplice?", The man asked about to draw out his sword.

Miguel quickly dropped down his face disguise slightly and spoke: "which cell is he in?"

As soon as the man saw that it was Miguel, he froze.

"Shut up and take me there!", Miguel spoke.

The watch guard quickly turned and was about to move when he suddenly spoke: "But My Lord, aren't they going to suspect us?"

Truly he was right. If he and a complete stranger goes to the prison house, they'll definitely be suspected.

But then, his banish had not been concluded, as far as all was concerned, he was still a Lord in Quaila.

Thinking of this, Miguel took of the entire disguise and said authoritatively: "Lead the way!"

At this point, the guard had nothing else to say but lead.

"Where's Luca?", Miguel asked as they walked to the prison house while he held unto his horse.

"He went out with some Apical guards to kill some wild horses My Lord!", He replied.

"Wild horses...", Miguel chuckled as they went on.

........

Meanwhile Luca was in the field with the other guards killing horses.

After they had killed all, the Quailians began to cheer and praise him, openingly wishing he was their king instead of his father.

The praises and blood lust he had just experienced helped his depression ease alot.

"Where did they come from in the first place?", He asked.

And in a matter if minutes, he was directed to the stable where the horses came from.

"Horses injured and killed humans, destroyed properties, but only horses were killed, this seems a little unfair, don't you think?", He said to his men.

And they nodded in unison.

When he got inside the stable, he heard the sound of chains.

"Where's that sound coming from?", He asked as his men walked in.

"Wait!", He spoke silently and gestured that some men when out and headed towards the back; and so it was.

He had the others began to approach when they suddenly heard a scream.

Boom!

The salesman was thrown at his feet.

"My Lord, he was trying to escape with some of his horses!", The man who caught him said.

"Strip him naked!", Luca spoke angered.

"After such atrocities, you dare plan an escape?", He added while his men tore down the man's clothes.

"Please spare me My Lord!", He cried.

"It was Lord Miguel!", He added.

As soon as Luca heard Miguel's name, he froze.
