Chapter 3 - the conversation with the king

- Lórinand...

- Wait! Is that the kingdom from the story you told me?

- Yes! Son, you can't go there, it's too dangerous, I can't lose my only son! he says, standing up and taking off the cloak on his back, revealing his large green and transparent wings.

- Where are you going, mother! Mike asks worriedly -Talk to him.

- I'm going with you, my dear friend. Lord Hauk said.

Without saying anything else, Liz flapped her wings, heading straight to the castle of the illuminated kingdom, which has this name because it is made of precious stones, the rarest of which was amethyst, light purple like the king's hair. As soon as she arrived at the entrance, Lode Hauk teleported and appeared at her side, a royal guard greeted them next. - The king is waiting for you, I will take you to him- They were guided by the guard to the royal hall, where there was an organized table with maps and power stones. Galadriel was standing, wearing white clothes, she appeared serene, her hair was dark due to the lighting of the royal hall, but the fire stone ring on her middle finger, on her left hand, stood out indicating her inner restlessness.- Here they are, sir- The guard then left

- It's good that you're here, we need to talk.

said the king, closing the map and placing it on the table.

- Why did you summon Mike for this mission?- Liz asked.

- Well, he is the strongest in the entire kingdom, I sent more than 10 troops for this mission, and none of them ever returned.

- But of course, I trained him severely for thirteen years!- Lord Hauk boasted, rolling up the sleeves of his cloak, showing his forearms with their battle scars.

- But did it have to be Lórinand?- Liz asked, and Galadriel sighed in concern.

- We received a message from my informant in Lórinand, my people are at risk, Hyker has gone completely mad, during these twenty years, even if the children of the surviving fairies come into the world, he orders their wings to be torn off while they are still babies. Tears come to Liz's eyes, and sadness invades her heart. - How cruel - she says with a broken voice.

-This is getting out of hand!- Lord Hauk says in disgust, his voice is furious.

-I fear this is the end of our race, and that he is the only one capable of defeating Hyker- Galadriel says worried.

-I have rescued many survivors of the war during these twenty years, all of this cannot be in vain- Lord Hauk commented again.

-Princess, we have to fight for our people, and recover your kingdom, to do this, we will need to have Lórinand under control, so that there is no more war- says the determined king.

-What is the purpose of the mission? Liz asks. -rescue the prince from the dungeon.
