Chapter 158 - The War

Ander expressed his views of the king of Azadia not knowing that the man in question was listening to his every word.

"A king like him should be dethroned," the male stated. "He cares only about himself and doesn't deserve to be a king," he added.

He was really regretful of the fact that he had gotten Royan in trouble with the king for speaking his mind.

"Before you comment on that I will have you know that I already know what I want for my future," He told.

Royan set down his coat on his seat to hear what the dragon had to say. "What would that be?"

"I want to be a normal person. Not a dragon, not a prince just normal," Ander replied.

He didn't have to think much of it as it was how he felt.. Magic was always the cause of his problems and now he wanted to rid himself of magic. He is a dragon but that doesn't mean that he had to be tied down because of it.

He was free to choose what he wanted for his life and that was his choice. He wasn't planning to leave right away, he needed to gain control of his ice dragon first before he left.

The decision made him feel good about himself, it was a decision that he made for himself. Nothing more could be more important than him in his life anymore.

With Royan he had learnt to be him and put himself first before all else. It might be selfish but it was his life and his story.

He had even thought of one day putting everything that he had experienced into a book. The book would have a lot of drama and none stop craziness that he wasn't sure anyone would ever read it.

"I'm glad that you have decided this. Don't know the reason for it but it's your choice and I approve," Royan told him before escorting him to the door.

He was keeping very important people waiting and they wouldn't be too happy. Not to mention that life wasn't as easy as the dragon thought, wanting a normal life was easy but achieving it was one other impossible thing.

Their was no way that the king would ever let him go and the queen. She acted angry but she too was looking forward to being with Ander. Soon the dragon would learn that it is not so easy to leave behind your roots.

He turned back to continue the speech when he met with an empty room. All of them had left.

"This is not good," he uttered.

He exited the room and went to find the dragon, it was not normal for the king and the others to leave the meeting room without getting the final report. And since they left right after Ander left made him worry.

He found Razaan giving some tips to a young dragon on how to better his fire attacks. "Raz, have you seen your brother?" he asked him.

"No, but if you find him tell him that I owe him a few broken ribs," he replied to him.

Royan moved on from the training center and made his way to the library. His eyes searched around in the room as he walked slowly. The rule was not to talk or run in the library.

He asked the librarian if Ander had been there by writing the question on a note and showing it to her. The librarian shook his head telling that he had no idea where Ander was.

Royan left the library and walked into the indoor sanctuary for rare endangered animals. He walked around hoping that the dragon had come to see the wonder of creatures in the sanctuary.

But alas he wasn't their either. Royan wasn't able to understand how after being a part for only a few minutes that Ander would vanish.

He walked into the arena to check. At this point he had lost hope that he would meet the male there. But to his surprise he saw him in the middle of the room.

Ander was on his knees with the king and the others standing in a circle around him. Royan's heart pounded his heart as he felt worried of what could have happened that boy looked so miserable.

He felt all his reserve leave his body as he ran to Ander's side. He pushed one of the elders aside and entered into the circle and grabbed Ander to pull him up.

Ander shot his glance at him, his eyes color was glintching. It was changing from silver to blue to red to golden and back to silver. Royan tried to figure out what was going when suddenly Ander threw him off his body.

Royan turned in the air from the throw, he tried to get his balance back from the fall. Ander came a bit to his senses seeing him in that condition and went to create snow to break his fall.

But his eyes started acting up again and instead of trying to break Royan's fall, he ended up firing ice to his heart.

Royan landed on the ground and rolled three times before his body laid motionless on the ground.

The ice from his heart spread to the rest of his body in seconds before the king and the elders could grasp what he had done. The Phoenix was turned into ice that was covered in colours that were new to all of them.

"Roy," Zazel shouted as she came around.

The Phoenix king and his council walked into the arena. His eyes widen with shock when the first thing that he saw was the state that his son was in. His son was frozen on the ground like a ice sculpture.

Without wasting any time to ask what had happened, he fired a ball of fire to the dragon king. The King missed his attack but the elder behind him was turned to ashes.

"Listen, this is not what it looks like?" the dragon king tried to explain but the Phoenix king was not in the mood to listen.

Royan's grandfather and his friends came into the room to see the heated fight between the two kings. Fire and ice was colliding in perfect harmony.

If it want for the angry looks in their faces one would think that they were performing some sort of dance. They moved with precision each keeping to the opponents move.

The council and the elders of Azabia were going head to head with other. They were fighting fire with fire as none of the elders was an ice dragon.

He looked around the room and caught sight of his grandson frozen on the ground. His blood boiled to the fullest St that sight. Only a member of the royal family could have attacked him.

"Attack," he ordered his friends while he went for the queen. Blood was going to be shed as they had yo avenge their child.

A fight broke in the arena and the warning bells rang informing everyone of the war. Those of the Azabia started attacking anyone from Aetha the Phoenix kingdom.

In no time the BOST had turned into a war center. The place was built with both kingdoms. It was to ensure that peace reigned for both kingdoms. Royan and Razaan's marriage was just an icing to the cake of peace that they had baked.

The refugees were kept in the panic rooms all around the BOST as they had nothing to do with the fight. They didn't want to harm them.

Furnitures were either broken or burnt during the war that broke out. The whole place was going up in flames. The ice fired by the king, queen and Razaan helped to reduce the fire a little bit but it didn't stop the fire from burning the building.

While they fought, Ander made his way to Royan. He looked at the Phoenix below his with no expression on his face. His eyes were still acting up.

He squatted to the ground and placed his hand to the body. He wanted to shatter the frozen male into pieces. He felt no intense feelings at the moment, he just didn't like him.

Before he could shatter the male to pieces, Ander shook his head fighting the thing in his head. He was fighting the power that the king had forcefully given him. He couldn't have it destroy the one person in the world who accepted him and taught him to live.

'There is only one way,' the male voice in his head stated. 'He is protected by the power of love,' a female voice in his head said.

His eyes turned back to normal, his heart broke at seeing the state in which Royan was in. His hands shook knowing that it was him who did that, he had not meant to hurt him.He didn't even know what the king had done to him that changed him so much.

"I'm sorry," he cried out in regret.
