Okarinj declared and snickered. He was eating an Amolvian candy bar. He laughed so hard; the portion of candy he was chewing fell out of his mouth. He began to cry. “What’s so funny, ya bunch of demons?” the Todd asked the Amolvians softly and assertively. “FUNNY HOW YOU BROUGHT THE ENTIRE OCEAN AND ATLANTIS DIDN’T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH IT, AY’ST.” An anonymous voice yelled from within the crowd. The Amolvians roared with laughter! “You know what I hope you all go to hell. Screw thee!” Todd decided and stepped down. “Screw thee… you’re the one who’s dying to drink!” Liqrab - Yuity’s guard - stated. As the laughter grew louder, Todd began gnashing his teeth. An Amolvian swordsman hopped onto Todd’s head and propped himself up using nothing more than the tip of his big toe. Todd didn’t notice. “HEY, I’VE HEARD EVERY MYTH ABOUT YOU MUMMYS! NO ONE CAN DEFY GRAVITY BUT THE LORD!” shouted Todd, with someone standing on his head. The swordsman hopped off and yelled, “I WANT MY MONEY BACK!” Todd - with his eyes buck-wide - watched the swordsman passively settle into the sand in front of him. He tried to rub his head, lost his balance, and fell…destroying his entire water supply. “FLOOD…!” Liqrab shouted with wit. The jugs drained completely. Todd, who’s now predestined to die in a half-hour, began to pout and cry. “Let me alone y-you m-murderers... MURDERERRRRRRS!” he shouted with his hands on his ears and his eyes shut, “NO!” King Yuity’s elder brother Ruien Dipsel interfered. With his high-class armor and jewel-embedded scabbard filled with a wand-rapier, he hurried through the crowd to rescue Todd. “Excuse my foolish brother and his implausible entourage.” Ruien told Todd with sincerity exploding from within his heart and escaping through his sapient eyes. Ruien got an attitude and focused on the Amolvian people. All kinds of twinkling sparks fired themselves from his magic armor when he moved. He jumped and twisted in the air out of nowhere, exploding coronas dropping out of his magic armor. He hopped again and levitated. He landed, grappled Todd, and let him go. His rapier unsheathed itself and went back in for no reason. Then he grappled Liqrab and slammed him against a hut as he continued, “AMOLVIANS, IS IT FAIR TO PUSH AROUND A MAN WHO CANNOT LEVITATE? JUMP ON MY HEAD IF YOU WANT A CHALLENGE.” Liqrab had just fell and stood back up as if it never happened and went back to his previous stance in his new spot. It was as if someone was controlling Ruien like a video game but they didn’t know what to do... Todd, feebly, sank to the ground - with hopelessness - as Ruien continued, “This poor man...Welcome to Amolvia-” Ruien lifted Todd onto his feet and began to shed tears in shame. The alumni were shocked; Ruien was the greatest of all Amolvian supremacists a few hours earlier! He was the one with the largest body count. Tears fell from his chin as he peered into the heavens. Todd - clever enough - used an empty jug to catch Ruien’s tears. Yuity gradually moved through the horde of Amolvians while saying, “He started it, Ruien.”
“YOU… Go and fetch that man some water, Yuity!” replied Ruien, “Liqrab,” King Yuity said - pushing Liqrab from behind with his foot, “Go get it.” Yuity, calmly, ordered him as if they weren’t in the middle of the desert. “If my kids get out of school before this man is on his way home with everything he arrived with, you’re gonna wish you were dying with him!” Ruien proclaimed. That is when Yuity lost it and went berserk. “RUIEN…! HOW DARE YOU CAST A SPELL ON ME?” spat Yuity, with raging eyes. Yuity had challenged Ruien. Ruien knew what was happening. The alumni carried away Ruien’s wife, Anara Dipsel, and threw her outside of the tree of life region. She did not resist or try to escape. As her body left Amolvia, her ashes embedded in the sand dunes and vanished. Ruien, never taking his eyes off Yuity, whispered into Todd’s ear, “You see that tree over there?”
“Yeah, save me.”
“I won’t let them touch you. Trust me and dig it up,” He said dig it up so Todd would move faster. He didn’t require it. “Then, head for your homeland. Behold, I will not allow them to uproot any for themselves.” Todd wasted no time and went for it. Ruien aimed his rapier toward the counterfeit-tree patch. “Burrow HHHHH!” he called. It’s like he breathes it- A wide and powerful bolt, with a bright shimmer of violet light trailing it, discharged from the tip of his rapier and plunged into one of the tree of life’s roots. As the tree popped up from the earth, a miniature explosion of soil and dirt clumps splattered throughout the affected area. The weight of its branches and leaves caused the tree to rotate slightly and land gently onto them. Todd grabbed it like a fumble in a football game and broke-out toward the Amolvian borderline.
The Amolvian kingdom appeared to be flame-orange, since the sun had begun setting and the trees of life began to flare up. As he fought off the alumni, Ruien knew he would die eventually. He was just glad his sons weren’t there to jump in. When the alumni grew tired, Ruien stretched out his arm and swiftly rotated his rapier around the tip of his pointing-finger. The rapier’s hilt shadowed his fingertip as he swiftly rotated it forward and backward. “I thought he was gettin’ soft... This son of a b’’’’ got better! Act like it doesn’t bother you...” Yuity quickly whispered to Liqrab. Ruien’s magic points were 2000/4400 and his life points were 200/200. Todd’s life points are now 80/200, because he’s only had two tears to drink [Gulp] - just kidding, Todd had 100 life points. Ruien had the wand rapier equipped. He knew that this was it: Yuity and his guards vs. himself. The crowd spread into a huge circle to make room so they could scrap. Yuity’s team all had normal Amolvian blades equipped. Their magic points and life points were all full. “Dajib, no one slays my brother but me! It’s good for my campaign.” Yuity ordered his most likely to survive guard. “Yes sir.” Dajib whispered. Then, suddenly, a transparent and bright-red flame surrounded Todd. The fire grew 2 times taller. The taller flame split into two halves. Todd remained surrounded by the bottom half. The top half wrapped around Ruien, adjusted itself to his height, and completely covered his body. In other words, they both became hot. Yet, it was holy fire from the heavens, not the lack of air conditioning. Their eyes bled a transparent bright-red steaming flame that arose - thick, like smoke - and faded as it neared their hairlines.
In the blink of an eye, Yuity dashed toward Todd and slashed his fire shield with his blade, but the holy fire was immune to his sorcery. The only damage done was to Yuity’s blade. The people around them played brass, but only when Ruien or Yuity started scrappin'.
Nearby, hiding behind a tree of life and eavesdropping was Prince Ezequador Dipsel the eldest son of Ruien. He was 22 but seemed to be about eleven, because he grew up in such a fortified, sturdy, tree of life region. He was the smartest Amolvian and genius on the face of the earth. Todd began to annoy Yuity with a ‘tough-guy’ act, “Where’s my water…huh, ladies?”
“Squash him like a bug, father.” Prince Ezequador whispered. Yuity leapt backward, performing a premeditated back flip. Then, he blasted away the remainder of his magic points with the ‘white widow dust-cloud’ attack as he yelled, “WHI-WIDOW DHHH…!” He was saying ‘white-widow-dust, but they leave out the ‘u-s-t’ for some reason. This attack allowed the Amolvians to stun enemies. They shot a thick white dust substance from their wands or the palms of their hands into the enemy’s face. It only took effect when inhaled. When the cloud cleared, Todd’s arms were crossed and wrapped around his face. He had his body bent and held low. He slowly arose while spreading his elbows and peeking through to see if he was still hot. “PUSH RUIEN TO HIS DEMISE, ARREST THAT WATER-LOVER, AND PRESERVE THE UPROOTED TREE NOW!” Yuity commanded his faithful guards, who were not around to hear him! They had vanished! Then, suddenly, the part of the crowd to the rear of king Yuity began to gripe a bit, as if someone was pushing them around. “'Out of the way, peasants!” Dajib shouted at the crowd. “D-Dajib, W-Waaait!” Liqrab yelled as he followed Dajib. When Yuity turned to look, all that he saw was two Amolvian blades on the ground. He lifted his eyes up in the direction of the deserted blades and saw a head slowly arise from within an opened window followed by another head next to it shortly afterward. Prince Ezequador switched from peeking behind the left
side of the tree to behind the right side. “That armor is the greatest.” Ezequador whispered to himself. “So, you know a new trick, brother. Yet, do thy sons know this method?” Yuity asked Ruien. “Are you trying to bring my boys into this?” Ruien asked.
“You know me,” replied Yuity.
“How dare you? You know, Yuity - you took my wife… Not your guards and NOT the alumni here.”
“Uh Yeah…? So-what; you broke the law.”
“I WAS going to kill you, but I’m just gonna take my water lover home and walk it off.” Ruien responded wisely.
“Yea, you do that, don’t forget your a doggie bag, b’’’’. And don’t you worry about retribution because my guards,”
“Your guards what? - Ran like a couple of p’’’ys?” Todd asked. Ruien and Todd’s fire faded away. Todd hopped behind Ruien like a p’’’y. Yuity’s guards jumped back in. Ruien looked Yuity in the eyes. “I’m not through with you. When I get back later on; don’t make me shut you up for good and have a good explanation for what
