Kingdom Burning Chapter 20.
Mitzie’s face softened as she rubbed her stomach with both hands. Alford glanced up at her and gave a small reassuring smile. She began walking forward, then abruptly stopped. “I have no idea where I am or how to get out of here.” Walking up beside her, he chuckled at her look of confusion. He removed one of her hands from her stomach, and laced his fingers with hers. “This way, my love.” He silently led her through multiple winding corridors before they reached an exit. Once they were outside, Mitzie squinched her eyes and placed her hand on her forehead to use as a visor against the sunlight. “Where are we?” she asked visually exploring the desert-looking landscape around them. “This is an abandoned and unmapped military bunker. The earthlings used this space for confidential strategizing.” He said moving them towards the Rolls Royce SUV parked not far from the door they’d exited. He opened the passenger door for her and placed his hand on the small of her back guiding her. “Whe

Mitzie squinted as her eyes slowly opened. Her head was rested against the back of the seat, and she groaned as she cautiously reached her hand to rub the back of her neck. She quickly assessed the environment feeling anxiety creep through her like torrid tendrils. They were surrounded by towering trees that amply obstructed the sunlight above them. Realization struck her that they had crashed through the guardrail on the highway, and although she was unable to tell where they were or how they’d landed, the vehicle didn’t appear to be damaged. She jolted forward with widened eyes as she shot her head in the direction of the driver’s seat. “Alford! Alford!” she shouted in fear as she hastily unfastened her seatbelt while reaching with her free hand to shake his shoulder. Alford’s head was leaned against the driver’s side window with his eyes closed, but he didn’t appear to be bleeding or injured, and his body slightly jostled as he gave out a small grunt in response to her nudging.

“The tire is changed, and we are on the move again,” Alford huffed as he got back into the SUV. Mitzie rapidly took in her surroundings. “How did you get us out of the tree?” she asked giving Alford a quizzical look. “What tree?” “The tree that we crash landed in.” “No, my love, we didn’t crash. I was able to steer us safely onto the road shoulder when the tire blew out.” “That’s not possible! We were just in a tree, and I was just having a conversation with our not-yet-born teenage son while you were unconscious!” she stated emphatically feeling anxiety beginning to rip through every fiber in her body. Alford lovingly gazed at her and attempted to reach for her hand, but Mitzie moved her hand out of his grasp and glared at him in defiance. “Claris managed to use her telepathy with Luceron and Seraphine, they’re on their way to the chamber to try and rescue her, they saw us and tried to shoot you with a tillium bullet that our son sensed and diverted to the tire. We crash landed

“There’s much to this story to tell, and I will not have time to tell you all of it before we reach our destination…” “Start at the beginning and you can tell me the rest once we’re out of the chambers.” Alford sighed and scrubbed his hand over his face. “Back in your great-great-great grandfather’s rule, there was no galactic peace. Each of the kings wanted full intergalactic control, and to be considered the supreme ruler. The galaxies fought amongst each other for that control, but none of them had the power nor forces to acquire the great feat. This battle went on for many millennia, and bled into your great-great-grandfather, King Dominic’s, rule. One night, he had a visit from the goddess Aliyah. No other king in history could ever brag about a visit from the greatest celestial being. He asked her for the power to conquer the other galaxies to become the supreme king. She refused to grant him that request, but did give him a promise. She told him that the only way supreme powe

“We’ll discuss what happened when we return to headquarters. Elshazar, notify the kingdom we are on DEFCON level 4, prepare for level 5 notice. Zara, notify the Shirin King that we could use all the help we can get since he is the closest galaxy,” he commanded the warriors as they rapidly walked behind Alford and Mitzie. “Yes, commandant,” they said in unison. “I am assumed that they took your communicators when they took the van. What they didn’t count on was us always having a backup.” Alford said as the emerged from the building and headed towards the trunk of his SUV. He removed four galactic transmitters and handed one to each of the warriors. “My wife has had a long day, and I’m taking her home. We will reconvene at sunrise,” he said closing the trunk and moving to open Mitzie’s door. “Yes, Commandant,” they said in unison just as an onyx black Bentley minivan sped into the space where they were standing and jolted to a stop in front of them. Mitzie quickly moved behind Alfo

Mitzie let out a content groan and smiled as she rubbed her stomach. She then realized that she was no longer in the car and instantly shot up to take in her surroundings. It took her a moment to realize that she was at home in their bed, but Alford was not around. “Alford?” she called in a semi-loud voice. When there was no response, she listened to see if she could hear the shower running. There was complete silence, and a glance towards the floor-to-ceiling windows let her know that it was nighttime. “Alford?” she called again turning her legs to get out of the bed. She supported her stomach with one hand as she used the other to push herself up. It was at that moment she realized that she was sporting a much larger bump than she had previously. “Oh damn! Is this another vision or dream or whatever the hell I’ve been having?” she asked herself. She quickly looked around for her cell phone which she found on the nightstand beside her. While still cupping her stomach, she unlocked

Mitzie’s eyes grew to the size of saucers as she listened to Emma’s words. “My father was the grand sorcerer, or king if you would, of Parmony. In his attempt to use his magic to force the goddess Aliyah to appear ahead of schedule, he decimated half of the Parmonian galaxy – himself and our mother included. The other kings saw the galaxy’s stars ablaze, but none ventured to see what was going on, except King Samael. When the warriors arrived, under the leadership of Orthos’ father, they found us four siblings clinging to life on one of the planets that had not been destroyed. Luceron and Claris were reluctant to leave Parmony, but since Milvan was the oldest and in direct line of throne ascension, they could not disobey his orders.” Emma began pacing as she continued relaying the story. “I was the youngest sibling, and without parents, I was more than glad to follow my big brother anywhere. He and I were grateful to King Samael for his willingness to send saviors for us. We pled

“With all due respect, Commandant, I don’t know how you ever did it,” Stanley said in a hushed voice opening his eyes to look at Alford. “That was many centuries ago, Elshazar,” Alford responded turning his head to where he could see Stanley. “I was young and stupid. On the goddess, though, I don’t know how I did it either,” he chuckled making a mock gagging noise. Both men chuckled at the conversation as they lay on the cold, hard concrete. “I can’t seem to reach Preticus through the link, can you contact Malshavez?” he asked attempting to slide his body around to fully face Stanley. “No, I was trying to reach her, and it’s like an impenetrable mind block that won’t let me connect,” he replied trying to roll on his other side. “There must be a spell on the building that’s prohibiting our connection,” Alford groaned as he pushed himself against the wall. “I heard Luceron tell Claris that Japheth has entered the Milky Way. We need to figure out how to get out of here.” Alford stra
