EPISODE 1

The soldiers of Cloud city,fell on their knees, their right hands on their chest as soon as the queen approaches.

Zoire walks majestically,as the trail of her gown seems to move endlessly at her back.The gown is made with pure gold, with the breast plate designed with a bronze metal, that pressed her breast tightly to her chest.

A liquid silk, covering her shoulders to the wrist of her hands.

Her gray hairs, were graciously tucked in behind her ears,down to her waist.Leaving some strands of hairs dangling in front of her face.Her hairs seems to glitter in silver,as the rays of the sun shine on them.

Her eyes, were transculent sea blue.As her pupils dilated into little green in them.She had a pointed nose,and a plump lips.

Indeed,the queen looked like a goddess as everything seems to fit well in her perfect face, except for gir the betrayal of her gray hairs which shows that she had aged gracefully.

Behind her, followed the two princes of Cloud city.Darl and Erimense.

Both of them were heavily built,and handsome.Except for the colour of their hairs that differs.

Darl whose hairs were blond,took everything after his mother except for his cold, arrogant and rude behaviours.The had clearly reflected on his face,as he looked down on the multitude of people as if they were flies he would like to dispose and get over with quickly.

Erimense,on the other hand, have a black thick hairs.The strands seems to cover his eyes,his aura seems to command confidence as  he gave the people a masked smile.

Behind them,were the councillors of Cloud city.The people hailed the name of the queen,as she took her seat on the throne, while the two princes took their places by standing beside her. Their hands on the tilt of their sword.

One of the councillors whose name is Omaha, rose to address the people.After calming the people, he started his speech.

"Good people of Cloud city,the fairess as announced the duel will begin in two weeks time........................."

Immediately the people heard this,they interrupted Omaha and cheered.

"Hail the Majesty of the clouds city".

Thus ,the continue hailing the name of the queen.

Omaha raised his hands,to make the people quiet before he continued.

"The celebration of the new moon festival,is starting tonight.Everybody is relieved from her duties, except for the soldiers and the workers, working in the palace.But there will be a handsome packages for them too.And on the day of the new moon,the two princes of Cloud city, will show us their skills by battling Fost and Zrr'ssk the deadliest beasts in Cloud city".

Omaha said, smiling at the people as he went to kowtow before the the queen,and then went to his seat.

The people were all joyful,as they continue hailing the name of the queen.

Darl wrapped his hands, tightly on the tilt of his sword.He was boiling with rage.

Why had mothy done this?,he is the rightful heir to the throne.Why would she include Erimense,why would an adopted prince be included in the duel meant for royal bloods he thought,his head shaking furiously.

"Darl". Erimense said.

Darl scowled."What".

Erimense looked at Darl,and sighs.

"You're about to unsheath your sword".

Darl was shocked,he wasn't aware of his own actions.He sheathed his sword,as his gaze went back to the people hailing the queen.

It was already noon.

Darl storms into the queen's chamber,and barked at his mother.

"Mother I want to ......................

The queen raised her finger, to shut him up."Darl,it is high time you learned some etiquette and some courtesy.You cannot break into my chamber, unless you are being summoned to my presence.Is that clear".

Zoire replied in a cold tone.

"Yes mother"

Darl gritted the words out through his teeth.

"Now go on son, you said you wanted to see me".

Zoire said,as she was not looking at him.She was busy stroking her the fur of her favourite pet Tyra.

Darl looked at the pet with so much hatred, that he felt like thrusting his sword into her throats and slit it open.

As if Tyra could read his mind,she whimpers as she forced herself into Zoire's sleeve.

Darl grinned,as his gaze drifted back to his mother.

"Why did you include Erimense to partake in the duel mother".

Darl asked,as his brows furrowed into frowns.

The queen was caught by surprise,as she gave him a glance.Her pupils dilating from green to transculent blue.

"Why wouldn't I, Erimense is also a prince of cloud city,so he can't be denied".

Zoire answered.

"The duel is meant for the royal blood mother".

Darl snarled at his mother.

"Oh,is Erimense not a royal blood".

She asked,nit looking at him.

Darl was enraged.

"Do not pretend as if you don't know what I'm talking about".

"What are you talking about son".

Zoire asked him.

Darl growled.

"We all know, that Erimense was adopted,and not a royal blood".

Zoire was shocked,at what Darl had just said.

"Who told you that".She said standing up to  face him.

"Oh mother,I had known since I was twelve.I heard it, when you were discussing it with your most trusted councillor Jemy.Mother....................."

Zoire suddenly became angry.

"Enough of your foolish talks , either you like it or not, Erimense will be partaking in the duel,and there is nothing you can do about it".

Zoire said in a cold tone.

Darl shook his head,and sneared.

"Mother,I still find it difficult to know why you can so gruesome.............."

Zoire thundered.

'Enough Darl, you dare speak to me in this manner".

She fold her hands into fist.

" I will make you pay, for disrespecting me, you stupid child".
