Chapter Ten - The Kings of Eve

The golden door had shut behind us and we were greeted by one of the most unusual phenomena’s I could recall, this was completely unheard of...

The sky was the sea and was separate from the earth below. The upside down, huge waves almost touched the canopies of the trees. I looked to my dog and with his newfound intelligence; he looked just as bewildered as me.

Although it was amazing to watch, I felt uneasy, being underneath something, which is completely illogical. I could see boats floating upside down and the animals fishing with ease.

The colours of both plains clashed from the light that met in the middle. A small sun floated between the ocean and land like a painting. The earth was a huge forest, which housed many variations of plant life. It resembled the Amazon rain forest. I had a book at home about a lost traveller and the pictures were certainly close to what I could see.

“Come on Sam, we shouldn’t linger,” I said, as we pressed on through the shrubs.

It was strange to hear the water above us and the waves that crashed together in a small storm, which didn’t affect the sunny woodland. The smell of salt and pine trees was very soothing and made the walk enjoyable; even Sam had his tail wagging.

After a few minutes of travelling Sammy had stopped abruptly and sniffed the air; something was near. An arrow hit the floor right where I was stood, and I toppled backwards.

“Halt!” shouted a high-pitched voice.

“Name yourself or the next arrow goes through your eye.”

“Don’t shoot!” I panicked. “I am Lucius

Domhill and this is my dog, Sammy.”

“Lucius you say. We’ve been expecting you, my lad. Give me one second; let me get out of this tree.”

A large hare appeared and hopped onto the ground. He wore clothing that reminded me of the tale of Robin Hood, but he looked slightly old for a crusader. His fur was wispy and grey; with a slight ginger tint.

“I am Flit, King Eirik’s, third Captain and head scout,” greeted the Hare. “I've been instructed to guide you to the Divided High Grounds palace.”

“How did you know I was coming?”

“The guardian, Agatha had sent word. You are also well known around these parts and your story has been passed on through what’s left of the remaining realms,” explained the Hare, as he scratched his long ear.

“What do you mean what’s left?” I asked.

“The Entity has devoured many realms, since his release. There aren’t many left now,” replied Flit, sadly. “Come now Lucius, there will be plenty more questions when you meet King Eirik.” And I followed his instructions, with Sammy close at my heels.

“Will King Nordaious be there?”

“Yes, him too. The False King,” snapped Flit and I sensed some hatred towards the Ocean King; understandable really, seems he was Eirik's foe for years. The war must have taken a lot of lives.

We had hurried down a small valley and came towards a river. The water was clear and blue, to my surprise.
