Chapter 6 Beheaded Mark

The new morning seems not to be a good one in KingsHeaven as there are some guards preparing the execution point where Mark will be beheaded.
The long shinny axe is currently being sharpened by one of the knights.
And just like everybody Mark couldn't sleep last night and here is him this morning watching how they are preparing for his death.
No one could know the exact time of his death time and won't become restless about it but will also keep looking for any possible means to avoid it but it's destiny though which cannver be escaped.
"Mark!" A voice sounded as Athena rushed into the prison and Mark steps forward from his cell and answered so Athena located his cell easily.
"Has the king decided to change his mind?" Mark asked with his last hope depending on her while Athena waved her head in tears.
"Am sorry Mark but there is nothing I could do! I have tried begging the king but he is just so wicked and heartless! none of my words could move him, all am seeing now is that Oma was right, Jerome loves killing his own people for nothing" She replied as Mark looks depressed with line of tears in his eyes.
And Athena steps closer to his cell "Come here" She said to him as she stretched her hand and Mark stepped closer to her as they hugged each other so tightly even though the metal used to seal the prison is making it uncomfortable for them but they never mind though.
And finally they bestows each other a kiss as they looked into each other's eyes "I will miss you" Mark said as the both of them were shedding tears.
"No don't miss me, I must surely get you out of this place" Athena said as she runs out of the prison and surely running to see the king because it's already time for Mark to be executed.

"King Jerome was sitting on his throne when Athena hurried inside the hall.
When she reached she kneels down in tears "Sire please, don't kill him he has been a very humble servant to you so why kill him because of just a mistake, we are all human, it could be anyone"
"I swear to you that it can never happen again please, please just do me this favour and I will forever be grateful to you!" She said weeping at the ground.
While Tennyson was there just watching her and couldn't even help her and beg his father, infact him alone could put an end to this if he could speak to his father.
But he surely wanted Mark to be killed just for having little issue with him, someone that has been working for him, worshiping him like a god and just for that little mistake he wants him dead, he is not to be blamed though as that spirit was planted in him by his father.
"Am sorry Athena I have already granted you your request which you said that I should give you more time to talk to him and that's why his execution didn't happen yesterday night"
"I have given you much time to talk to him, I could do any other thing you need from me but what you are requesting for is impossible, nobody is above the law and so Mark must be executed" Jerome said as Athena begins to weep loudly.
Crying out loud with a hard voice and keep begging and begging and after a few moments Jerome noticed that she was not ready to leave not until he renounce Mark's death.
"Guards! take her away!" Jerome ordered as some guards ran into the hall and began to drag her out of his sight.
And as they were dragging her away she began to split out some bitter words out of anger.
"If you do this my king, I'm never ever going to forgive you for this" She shouted till they took her out of the hall.
And King Jerome stayed quiet for a while before looking up to Tennyson.
"Mark have been a humble servant since all this years and so as Athena, and that created a very huge bond between the both of them which made them keep putting more efforts on their work"
"Killing him won't be nice and it can equally make Athena to start questioning her loyalty here, so what do you think son?"
"Don't you think we should let them go?" Jerome asked as Tennyson waves his head.
"What the hell are you talking about father? are you sure you are the one saying this? nobody has ever overcome the law! it's for everybody!"
"And this will sound as a warning to others to forever respect our law and give fear to your name" Tennyson said as Jerome nods his head.
"Fine then, go get Mark and execute him just like the others and after that you prepare the knights and get them ready with Athena by your side"
"You guys are heading Seldom to look for that little boy" Jerome ordered and Tennyson nods.

Mark was stepping out to the crowd with tears on his face with the guards along side him as they chained his legs and hands.
So there is no possible way he could run and gently he was moving towards the dead point while Tennyson was standing at the middle of the crowd that is here to watch Mark beheaded.
And just like always the people were throwing sharp objects at him and pouring all kinds of irritating things on his body.
Athena was looking at them from her room as tears were flowing down from her eyes.
She watches as they took him to the beheading position and set in his head rightly at the spot where iron have to be at the right and left side of his head.
So that he wouldn't be able to shake his head untill he is beheaded.
As they placed his head there the axe was raised as Tennyson raises his hand and Athena removed her face.
She couldn't stand and watch her best friend die in that sad way at her present so she turned her back on the window.
And now she can understand how the little boy would feel watching his mother being burnt alive in his presence.
And before she could turn back to look at the gatherings again.
Mark's head is already separated from his body and her eyes was almost reddish in color.
"No no! no!!!! Mark no!" she screamed and cried bitterly as she fell on her bed and punches it.
And Just in a knock come up on her door "Who is there!" she managed to say with a cracked and angered voice.
"Prince Tennyson seeks your presence immediately" The voice said and the foot steps of the person was sounding fainter just as he was walking faraway after delivering the message.
And then Athena looks at herself at the mirror as she was breathing so heavily "I swear to my ancestors, Jerome Akuza you must surely perish in my arms" She said angrily and then she heads outside.
As she already knew that they are not calling her for anything else or for compensation of what they have done but for her to travel to Seldom with Tennyson in the name of looking for innocent child.
Tennyson was outside waiting for her with some knights and that's about five of them ready to go with him and they are skilled when it comes to sword.
When She stepped out Tennyson wanted to speak to her but she raised her hand meaning that she don't want him to talk to her.
Though Tennyson could understand this time around that she is very upset as everyone can see the tears in her eyes.
"Let's go find him!" Athena said to them as there was a sound on anger in her voice as she calls on her dragon angrily. "Mharahgakas! dragon!" She shouted and her dragon was seen flying over the air.
While she ran and leaped out of the ground and the Dragon took her off from the air.
So Tennyson and the rest five men joined their own dragon which is one each person as they flies along side the high tempered Athena.
They knew that Seldom is far from them and that's why they have to go with just five men, so that they can be able to make use of the Dragons instead of carrying troops of knights with them which will make it longer days for them to reach the Kingdom of Seldom

And that's actually the most beautiful place he has ever visited, their natural flowers are amazing and the building looks so wow.
"I bet you love it! you are welcomed to your new home!" Princess Mera said to him and as soon as they entered the gate.
Some knights rushed the princess immediately and took the horses away from her and finally the Queen stepped forward.
"So he is the one with the dragon, let's kill him immediately and begin our restoration!" Queen Merl ordered
