“Guard grab him” Synfany said as her eyes cleared and she looked at Ray.
“Oh please Synfany” Duke Tenkay said. “The Mage Slayer works for me, go ahead and take off your helm”.
“Nice to see you again Melody” Ray replied with a smirk. “You too Synfany”.
“You” Synfany said angrily.
“Don’t be too mad” Ray replied. “You still have a kingdom and you no longer look like toad ass, you should thank Duke Tenkay”.
“If you are through with your theatrics Synfany” the duke said as he pushed forward some documents. “Are you going to sign these or not? Young Ray here has places he needs to be with his new bride, he can't stay here and protect me from mage attacks all day”.
“But you didn’t” Ray replied. “Now sign the damn papers and don’t you worry about Jemson, he regained consciousness before you did and was more than happy to defect. I think me and him will have a drink to your honor before I depart back to the great forest with the other Gaea”.
“This will not be the end of this” Synfany said as she signed the paper and slid it back towards Duke Tenkay.
“I think it will be” Duke Tenkay replied. “We attacked while most of your army were off fighting Largen. You may have taken over a large area in Largen but you were still unprepared, now if you try anything the Largen will attack and take back their land. Thanks for signature Synfany, it was a pleasure doing business with you”.
Ray watched as Melody noticed the staves stacked up near her and jumped out of her chair. The princess grabbed one and pointed it at Duke Tenkay who jumped in front of Ray and stuck out his chest. Melody screamed whatever curse she had prepared twice before she noticed the hand she grabbed the staff with and paused. Melody stared at her mother who noticed it also before looking at her own hand. Their green skin was gone along with the various boils and pimples they had gathered from the infection and it its place was the skin they had before.
“Yes the disease you had is gone” Duke Tenkay began as he looked at Melody. “It fed off of magic, which was the reason why no one other than the mages were affected. Young Mr. Riverdale has a peculiar power which I am sure you all are aware of, the ability to drain and not be affected by magic. What you probably didn’t know was that he has the ability to take magic entirely away from a mage. No one knows if in time your power will return but for now you are as normal as I am. Once you all attacked Mr. Riverdale, you sealed your own fate since I for one had no reason to break the connection you had. If it is any solace, I said I had a cure for your disease and you got it”.
“Look who has found a backbone” Melody said angrily. “You weren’t so full of yourself when I had you whining at my feet. You are a fool Gaea, you were the plaything of a princess. You were well taken care of and you gave it all up to be nobody”.
“I have another princess in a fashion” Ray smiled. “I haven't lost anything, all I know how to do is win”.
“This isn’t the end of this” Melody replied. “This traitorous Duke is one thing, I am not going to be mocked by a Gaea”.
“This is the end of it as far as I am concerned” Ray replied. “I am going off to my happily ever after while you will have to choke on the image of my smiling face the same way you do horsecock every morning. In fact, I will let you and your dumbass mother get a real good image to remember”.
Ray walked over and wrapped his arm around Duke Tenkay shoulder as the older man laughed. Synfany snatched the documents and signed them quickly as she jumped up and beckoned for Melody to follow her. Ray blew her a kiss as they left the area, Duke Tenkay then let out a loud rumbling laugh Ray was sure Synfany and Melody heard.
Before I go I want you all to expect a complete drop off in books for 2019-2020. Good ole Whiskey Flowers is supposed to be getting deployed to god knows where and they normally last around a year. If they end up taking me I’ll drop the knowledge on you as soon as I get to where I am going in the last section of my books, like I am doing now.
