CHAPTER 101
Nirka now stood almost on top of him I Mother of the Realm have found you guilty of attempted murder, and attempted kidnapping of the royal family. You have been found guilty of murdering a witch. How do you pled Nirka asked him, pulling out her sword she pointed at him. Go to hell he said your nothing but a good for nothing whore for humans, Ryan was ready to take his head off for what he just said to Nirka, Nirka put up her hand for him to stop. Do you have any last words before I carry out your sentence. Trevor laughed I should have Tod kill you too when he killed Mother for me. Then I would have been king…., the rest of the words died on his death as Nirka took and with her sword cut his head off. A cheer went up from the guards. Putting her sword back he turned to the guards ok everyone let’s go the dragons have to finish their work. They all were going down the stairs when they heard a loud explosion coming from is right wing of the castle. The dragons had set the entire wing on fire then flew home. They all got back to the stables Nirka had a much-needed drink. Then she told the Guards Dungeon. When the 40 young guards saw her enter the dungeon, they became afraid for their lives. Brandon stood Waiting for the. he linked Nirka you ok, we will talk after we take care of this, ok little one Brandon said and closed the link. Her guards stood behind her, Ryan, Gwen and Brandon. Open the door Nirka said. One of the guards unlocked the door for her and opened it. she held her head high as she spoke to the young guards, you have three choices. One, you can swear and oath to me and the realm and remain in your rank. Two. You can be decommissioned and banished to the black forest three. You can be put to death for conspiring against the throne. I give you five minutes to make your choice, if you do not answer I will then make the choice for you. Each and everyone of you will step forward and tell me what you want. Starting now. Five of the more mature younger guards stepped forward and swore an oath to Mother and the realm. You may go and stand with the guards behind me she told them. Three minutes Nirka told them. One of the young guards stood in front of her saying you can kiss my ass I will not serve under you 6 guards joined him. The rest did not want anything to happen to them, they could see the fire in Nirka’s eyes, so they knelt and pleaded an oath to Mother and the realm. They were waved to stand with the others. Nirka stood before the 7, I Mother have found you guilty of treason, the punishment for treason is death. The one who had spoke went up to Nirka and spit in her face, Ryan grabbed him by the throat and broke his neck. Chain them Nirka said we will decide their fate after we find out what race they are and notify their parents. She turned and left the dungeon everyone following behind her except the guards on duty in the dungeon. When they got back to the stables, she gathered all the young guards together. You have a sworn an oath to Mother and the realm. But you will still be receiving a mild punishment. You each will be appointed to an older guard who you will follow and do as they say, you will get proper training from this guard. This will be for one month when I get a report on your progress, we will see who will need to take basic training as I know my brother never put any of you through basic training, and if you ever wish to go out on any mission you must pass the basic training test. Now as for the older guards who will be appointed one of these youths, I will tolerate no abuse of any kind towards the younger guard in your care. If I hear of anything there will be extreme consequences for the abuse. Guard Master, it will be your job to put these youths with a suitable guard and to keep track of their training. Yes, Mother the Guard master said. Also, all the young guard that return from being out wherever Trevor sent them are to be put into the dungeon I will deal with them tomorrow. I want all you higher ranked guards to lead by example you have been with me for many years train them right. Nirka then bowed to them all. I thank you all for your service tonight. She turned to Ryan, Gwen and Brandon saying let’s go home. They mounted up and road into the forest. Nirka stopped for a moment before entering the forest and looked back at the fire, it stayed contained in the south wing. She saw the dragons in the distance going home. They took their time going back to the cottage talking amongst themselves. Nirka needed to make peace with herself she had just killed her own flesh and blood, and it affected her. She heard Ryan say he would send word that her family could not return from the human world. Nirka just nodded. Ryan tried to get her to think of something else, he asked her, so what will you do next? Nirka. That put a smile on her face, Devon and I are going to take Sarah to meet our human family, we have not seen them in over four years. What about you becoming Mother again? he asked. Father can look after the realm until we get back, I’m sure he is going to want to plan an official ceremony of reinstatement and a big ball after.
