CHAPTER THIRTY-THREE

Tarak followed the others through the air a little farther behind like before to keep from disrupting them with his gravity spell. They passed back over the Academy and kept heading south toward a dense forest shaped somewhat like a Y. Jon shifted to fly adjacent to the tall trees and not over them. He headed over a large city, and this one did remind Tarak much more of Newhaven.

Kyrro City was the name of their capital here, where a castle dwelled in the middle and dwarfed everything around it. The city itself followed the trend Tarak was used to of twisted and crowded roads, dirt in easy to wash places, and a noise of busy voices.

The castle was taller and larger than Nykal’s castle in Newhaven. There was no wall around it. The courtyard acted as an entrance to the castle, decorated by trimmed shrubbery and stables and other dwellings Tarak was less familiar with. Most were made of the same white painted stone of the castle, with smoke billowing out of little chimneys.

Tarak caught up as Desil and Jon finished removing the harness. “This is a beautiful place,” Tarak said.

They all started the long walk down the courtyard toward the large white doors of the keep.

“I’m going to tell Beatrix you said that,” Desil replied. “She keeps changing the design. It’s been the only thing she’s been indecisive about since she became queen last year.”

“There’s not much protection outside the castle,” Leon commented as he glanced around.

“There used to be. Kyrro has a long history of kings dying from stabbings, poisonings, and hangings. Even Beatrix’s father was poisoned not long ago, but we all have a feeling it’s going to be different now. Beatrix removed the curtain wall around the castle. She’s made it more accessible to everyone.”

“Including enemies.”

“We have none,” Desil told Leon.

“You will.”

“Yes, we will, and it is because of Beatrix’s open leadership and accessibility that everyone will fight to defend our land.”

“The poor won’t,” Leon said. “The rich who want more will use the war.”

“No. We have a weapon.”

“Don’t say love or some shit like that.”

“A real weapon,” Desil said. “Of which the threat is enough to deter anyone from attacking.”

Jon nodded as he faced Leon. “I haven’t seen it, but I’ve learned how it works. It could destroy an entire army in seconds.”

“What is this weapon?” Leon asked.

“It’s hidden in pieces so as to be assembled when necessary,” Desil explained.

“Sounds like a lie.”

“Ask Fatholl about it when Reela is there if you don’t believe me,” Desil suggested.

“What does Fatholl have to do with it?”

Desil stared at Leon as if expecting him to figure it out.

“That’s why he tried to kill you,” Leon realized. “You had something to do with the creation of this weapon, and he wanted it.”

Desil nodded.

“What is the ale like here?” Tarak asked.

“Tarak,” Leon chided.

“Judge me. I do not care.” He had tried to find a better time to ask, but there had been none.

“Oakshen has the best ale in the world,” Desil said.
