Chapter 10: Ascended
Everyone inside the tent gasped as they watched the scene before them unfold.
"She’s the seer... Beirut’s successor," Wizard Lurio blurted out, tears welling in his eyes as he added, "She’s the one... She will keep Ebodia safe..."
Blinking at the mystical occurrence in front of him, Ezekiel was still in awe as he stared dumbfounded. ’She would keep their kingdom safe?’ he thought. ’But... she could also be the one to bring ruin...’
"He will escape. The man is wearing Ebodia’s armor, but he has a tattoo of a black serpent on his back," Tarah whispered as soon as she opened her eyes. "He’s a spy from Helion."
A brief silence echoed throughout the tent after that. After what felt like ages, its occupants finally sprung into action.
"Ezekiel!" Xenia called out to him, snapping Ezekiel back to his senses, almost making him flinch in surprise.
Having come back to his senses, he blinked and then declared, "Search every man out there! Bring me that spy!"
Seeing the commotion about to unfold, King Darius looked at his men and instructed, "Help with the search." He then looked at Ezme, who simply sighed deeply before looking at her right-hand man.
"Tell our men to help the Ebodian soldiers with the search," Ezme sighed.
