Look before you leap

Lord Varnaak was given till the next dusk of Triven to find out what the prince Andreas was hiding by king Radia. He thought of a perfect strategy to carry out the king's orders of following the prince after he had assigned him to do so.

He knew very well he couldn't be seen by the people of Triven but he was sure the prince was going to sense him, one way or the other and for sure see him. So he had to do something exceptional like use one of his rare abilities, making illusions!

Yes that was his strength and he was very sure it would be of great help to him now. But to be able to pull that off, he had to hatch a very effective plan so that he can outsmart the prince. He thought following him around, lurking around his own dark self so that he won't seem it strange that he saw him or sensed him wherever he went.

He already knew that the prince spends his imaginary times in Omania at Triven and he was certain he mostly stayed in the ranger institute at their capital, Nerwin.

But was he was not cleared on why he was always there. He would have just said that he was there in search of the mutated illuminator but that was wrong, he knew it for sure because he always sensed his presence around the dorm. He thought of going there but it would be too risky because he was very sure that Andreas must make something out of seeing him there probably because he loved to cause trouble and devastate the lived of the people of Fraun (another world) and Triven was not a place he liked to hang around in this ghost form of his.

With all these thoughts put to consideration, he made up his mind to visit pay Nerwin a visit but not as him self but as the prince. He decided he would give the prince a good reason to be back in Gorgor, so that he would have the time to tour the whole and find what bonded him to the place.

With that been concluded, he made his way to the kings throne room to ask that he grant him power to speak with his name.

"Your grace" he bowed as he walked in and saw him staring out his window to their dark crumbled world.

"I assumed that you have come to tell me what you found out lord Varnaak" king Radia asked casually not taking his sight off the window.

"Not excatly your grace" he began calmly, "But l am definitely on it. I have come to ask that you bestow on me the right to speak on your name to the prince for it would be a great assistant to achieving your goal your grace”.

"Do what ever you can and must do lord Varnaak. You have just 24 hours to give me valid answers".

"Thank you your grace" Lord Varnaak bowed, "l will never fail you" he reassured before leaving.

With satisfaction, he made his way to Nerwin immediately it was their dawn. He stood at the gate and called out to the prince's aura, being very certain that he was inside somewhere.

"What do you want lord Varnaak?" Prince Andreas asked standing just a few steps from him.

"Well my prince, greetings to you" he bowed to him. "I wonder what you are doing here, this early in the day. I am supposing this is where your search for the mutated illuminator has led you, very thrilling" he gave him a sly smile.

"Just say why you are here and leave immediately to your favorite world to cause more disasters, because that is certainly what you do best".

"Sorry to beat your expectations my prince but l am now good at doing something else too" he chuckled.

"And what might that be?" Andreas furrowed.

"I now carry out orders from your father the king and ruler of Gorgor". He bowed to the king’s grace.

"And when was that decided?" Andreas did not seem to believe him at all.

"Wrong question my prince" lord Varnaak objected. "The right question should be... What has the king ordered me to pass to you".

"I am very certain that l do not need to remind you lord Varnaak the consequences of speaking falsely against my father. Look before you leap". Andreas' voice sounded really cold.

"I am sure my sight is clear my prince and so are my senses too. So if you don't mind, l would like to pass message and get to other things l have to carry out for today".

"Say what ever you want to say and leave" Andreas ordered.

"The king orders that you move now to Babu( another world) he has a great sense that the mutated illuminator is there. He says that you move immediately, if you still appreciate the look of our world's symbol behind your neck" He said, crossing his hands behind his back.

After his words, he turned and left not waiting to answer any more question or even implicate himself. He knew if he lingered, considering how smart the prince was, he was going to find out the truth so he knew his best option was to leave at the moment.

However, he really hoped the prince will fall for it, and he actually did. He wanted to doubt at first, the people of Babu were only known for their great skill in food cultivation and production, how then could the light illuminator be sensed there? Besides, he had this strong feeling in his gut that Lilith was going to become the light illuminator. However, if his father says he sensed something there in Babu, then he had to go to Babu nevertheless and although he was not sure if he could trust lord Varnaak, he could not find any important reason that would cause him to lie…
