“Well, there is no other choice; if the Sicil has reached Zorath he will immediately kill these kings one by one. I think what you said is the only thing we can do now.” said Alfadon. “Bring me Dan and Ony, I wish to speak to them immediately”

Aaron got up and analyzed a few things in his mind before leaving. He told Alfadon about his mother’s letter and what she said about the Sword of the Heavens and the rest of the riddle. Alfadon nodded his head in praise of both Aaron and his mother. Aaron brought Dan and Ony back with him. They then had a big discussion with Alfadon about the plans ahead.

They decided to go to the Dark Kingdom of Zorath as soon as Alfadon could go with them.

Aaron stayed in Arktor with everyone else for a few months. They had the best to eat and enough rest. But everyone was worried about Alfadon’s health. There was not much improvement in him, he seemed very weak.

Aaron’s training along with Jane and Flynn continued under Thodin’s supervision. Belster remained sour for the rest of the stay. He didn’t help them train. He didn’t talk much to anyone and stayed in his room for most of the days.

Billy stayed in the palace with the rest of them. The Defenders avoided him. Aaron was very thankful to Billy for saving Brandon’s life. He had many things he wanted to ask Billy but whenever he tried to speak to Billy, Dan would come in-between. Dan warned Aaron about Billy and asked him to keep a distance from Billy.

Aaron was reluctant to do so but he didn’t want to go against Dan’s wish. He waited for a chance to speak to Billy when none of the other defenders were around.

 

One day, after their training; Aaron, Flynn and Jane were sitting around and chatting. Suddenly, they heard many voices coming from the inside. They could hear the doctor in Alfadon’s room yelling at someone. Aaron rushed inside to see what was going on.

A lot of little Nomes were at the step of Alfadon’s bed trying to climb on it. The doctor was trying to keep them away. Some of them were even on the doctor’s feet.
Bo was there too, he looked equally worried but stood still next to Alfadon

“What’s going on?” asked Aaron.

The Nomes saw Aaron and gathered around him.

“It’s the boy, it’s the boy” they stared to say and jump.

“How come you are all here?” asked Aaron shaking off a Nome off his hands.

They stared to speak at the same time. Aaron covered his ears.

Jane came in and put a spell on the Nomes. They began to float around in the air. Flynn watched with amazement.

“You can ask them now, they will tell you” said Jane keeping her sword wand back.

The Nomes hanging in the air, stared to speak one by one.

“They came to our house”

“They came to our house”

“And they chased us away”

“They were looking for Alfadon”

“Who are they?” asked Aaron.

“The Lurgs of Kora”

“They cannot be The Lurgs of Kora” said Alfadon who had regained consciousness and was now trying to sit up. Jane helped him.

“They were, they told us.”

“And they destroyed our home on the Blue Mountains”
“We escaped with our lives, but we didn’t tell them where Alfadon was”

Then all of them started to cry together. Everyone had to cover their ears again till Jane shut them up with magic and made them stand in a row silently.

“That is not good” said Alfadon looking very worried.

“Why, what’s going on?” asked Aaron.

“Kora is part of Zorath’s Dark Kingdom. It is the home of one of the immortal kings. The king is probably looking for me since he wants to know how to use the Sicil stone. We have to do something to stop him soon” said Alfadon “You have to leave right now, no matter what”

Aaron looked at Alfadon and then at Flynn.

“I will tell the others” Aaron said and walked out.

Jane put Alfadon to bed again and drove the Nomes to another part of the palace. The Nomes looked everywhere in awe.

Aaron told Dan and Ony about what Alfadon had just said.

“We should move immediately. We have to stop the King and his Lurgs before they come here looking for Alfadon. We will need all the help we can get, gather everyone, we will leave tomorrow” said Dan.

“But Alfadon is not in a condition to travel. What do we do?” Aaron said in concern.

Dan thought for a second and then exchanged glances with Ony.

“Alfadon will be safe here. The Giants will protect him well” said Dan finally.

“We have to get to the Lurgs of Kora and stop them before they go far from the Blue Mountains” said Ony leaving for his room to pack for the journey.

Aaron did not argue further. He knew Alfadon’s condition and it would be better if he is with the Giants. He slowly went back to Alfadon’s room and informed Jane about the group’s decision to leave. Jane sighed and remained silent.

The next day with the rise of dawn, Dan, Ony, Belster, Jane, Aaron, Flynn, Bo and Billy left for the Blue Mountains, leaving Alfadon and Brandon at the palace of Arktor.

The Giants had arranged some of their best horses. Thodin and the others bid goodbyes to them. They sent them off with food, supplies, clothing and weapons for their journey.
