Two kings

As Oceana walked back home, stares were all on her and she wondered why. 'could it be because of this sword?' she asked herself but later shrugged off the idea as she started running home with the sword in her hand.

***** Grandeur kingdom****

Lord Arnold was in his chamber, deep in thought, when the ground began to shake violently. He looked around in confusion, wondering what could be causing such a disturbance. Suddenly, a very beautiful mystical being appeared before him. She had an ethereal glow about her and Lord Arnold was mesmerized by her presence.

The being spoke to him in a gentle voice, telling him of the samurai sword that had been pulled from the rock. 

"Arnold, the sword had been pulled out from the rock." She said.

"That means the person who pulled it out must be really powerful."

"I think so... But you must challenge the person so as to collect the power of the sword, or better still have the sword to yourself." She said.

"Just the hold of that sword can make me the most powerful king. I'll do it." Lord Arnold said.

Lord Arnold was filled with awe and excitement at the prospect of possessing such power. He thanked the mystical being for her guidance and set off on his journey to find the samurai sword.

***** Emperial kingdom****

Oceana came back to the castle and all eyes were fixed on her. The maids and guards were looking at her with confused faced and she herself was as well confused. 

'could it be that this people hasn't seen a sword before ' she asked herself.

She stormed into the passage way and almost bumped into King Reginald.

"I'm sorry dad..." She said and turned to leave.

 King Reginald was intrigued and called her over to him.

"Where did you get that sword from?" He asked sternly.

" I got it from a rock along a street." She answered fearfully.

"You got this from a rock?" He asked and Oceana nodded.

"Let me see that." He said and Oceana carefully brought the sword to him. 

King Reginald tried to lift the sword from Oceana's hand, but he couldn't. He tried for several times but the sword didn't bulge, then he looked at Oceana with a questioning face.

"This sword is the samurai sword which was placed in that rock by it's former owner, since then, nobody had been able to lift up the sword, so how can it be that you lifted up the sword?" Reginald asked her and she bowed her head in fear.

King Reginald immediately gathered his soldiers and told them that they were marching to the rock of Rai. 

When they arrived, he asked Oceana to place the sword back on the rock, which she did as he asked.

"Now all of you, try to pull out that sword." He commanded and one by one, they started trying to pull out the sword which didn't bulge. 

After an hour of fruitless attempt, King Reginald ordered them to stop trying.

"Oceana, pull out the sword!" He ordered and Oceana simply did that with ease.

King Reginald was amused ' but Oceana is just a human ' he said within himself. ' I'll just pretend to be nice to her and the get the power from the sword. Then I'll become more powerful than any other king including Arnold ' he muttered and smiled.

Arnold finally arrived at the Emperial kingdom and headed for the castle immediately. He had heard rumors of a powerful sword that had been pulled from a stone by a mysterious figure, and he was determined to find out who it was.

As he approached the castle, he noticed a large crowd gathered around the entrance. He pushed his way through the throng of people and saw that they were all looking up at something in awe. Arnold followed their gaze and saw that there was a beautiful girl standing atop the castle walls, holding a gleaming sword in her hands.

He immediately recognized her as King Reginald's daughter, Princess Oceana. She had pulled out the sword from the stone! Arnold couldn't believe it; he had been trying to pull out this sword for so long, and now here it was right in front of him. 

He wanted to rush up to her and take the sword from her hands, but something held him back. He knew that if he did this, he would be risking his life. The princess was surrounded by guards who were loyal to her father, and they would not hesitate to protect her if they felt threatened. 

Arnold hesitated for a moment before finally deciding to take his chances. He slowly made his way towards the castle walls, but before he could reach them, an alarm sounded throughout the kingdom. The guards quickly surrounded Princess Isabella and began ushering her away from view. 

Arnold watched helplessly as she disappeared into the castle with the sword still in her hands. He knew that if he wanted to get his hands on it, he would have to find another way into the castle - but how?

He decided to make his way in as a king. He boldly walked into the kingdom and stopped on his tracks when he spotted king Reginald.

"What brings you to my kingdom Arnold?" King Reginald asked.

"You know why I am here. So just hand her over with the sword to me with the sword or else, you will be gone just like your late brother the ex king of Emporial." Arnold replied fiercely.

"And you think you can order me around or have your way with me?" King Reginald asked.

"Yes of course, I'm the strongest king in the world." Arnold said and Reginald laughed scornfully.

Arnold was provoked by his laugh and with the speed of lightening, he attacked Reginald who was quick enough to dodge.

Arnold and Reginald were two powerful demons lords who had been rivals for centuries. They had clashed many times before, but this time it was different. Arnold had been provoked by Reginald's laugh and with the speed of lightening, he attacked.

Reginald was quick enough to dodge the attack, but Arnold was relentless. He kept coming at Reginald with a flurry of punches and kicks that seemed to come from all directions. Reginald was able to block most of them, but some managed to get through and he felt the sting of each one.

The fight went on for what seemed like an eternity, neither demon lord willing to give up or back down. Finally, after what felt like hours, they both stopped and stood there panting heavily. The tension in the air was palpable as they stared each other down, neither one willing to make the first move.

Suddenly, a loud roar echoed through the air as a Oceana appeared on the scene. She stepped between them and declared that this fight must end now or else there would be dire consequences for both of them. "If you want the sword, then have...." Before Oceana could talk finish, the sword emitted a very bright glow causing Arnold and Reginald standing there in shock. 

The two demons lords looked at each other one last time before turning away in opposite directions without another word spoken between them. What would happen next remained a mystery as they both disappeared into the night leaving behind only a lingering suspense...
