Chapter 11 "Shadows of the Cold War"

  The intro ends.

  Drake stands in front of them. Mia steps forward and says:

  Mia:

  "So this is what you look like... Supreme King." Drake scans all three of them with cold eyes. Drake:

  "According to Rayzo's notes... the pink girl is Mia.

  And the boy dressed like a prince... you must be Mo, prince of Centopia.!" He turns to Yuko.

  Drake:

  "And you... who are you?"

  Yuko:

  "Your worst nightmare

  Drake smirks.

  Drake:

  "You teenagers make my life miserable.

  look at you and already pity you.. because the world will throw you away the moment it's done using you as heroes." Mia:

  "That's not true!"

  Drake:

  "Oh, but it is.

  Raynor lied to all of you

  He cast the spell and hid the island from me." While Drake talks, Yuko whispers to Mia: Yuko (whispering):

  "What do we do? How do we escape him?" Mia (whispering):

  "We wait for the red monkey." Drake narrows his eyes. Drake:

  "What are you whispering about, little elves?" Suddenly, the red monkey jumps out from the basement.

  Drake turns toward it-

  This story originates from Royal Road. Ensure the author gets the support they deserve by reading it there.

  and the monkey unleashes the nightmare. Mo:

  "RUN!"

  Drake:

  "No... Samson... this can't be... you're alive- AAAAA!"

  Mo freezes when he hears the name. Mo:

  "He... he said my grandfather's name.." Yuko grabs his hand.

  Yuko:

  "RUN, IDIOT!"

  They sprint through the portal and collapse into Centopia, gasping for air. Queen Milya, having a picnic, sees them. Milya:

  "What happened, children?

  Did something terrible happen on your journey?"

  Mo:

  "Mother... it was horrible. Drake came there."

  Milya:

  "The Supreme King came? Did he hurt you?"

  Mia:

  "We escaped unharmed..

  because a red monkey appeared and forced him into his darkest nightmare." Milya:

  "Interesting..

  did not expect a red monkey on an island shattered by the Cold War." Mia:

  "What Cold War are you talking about?"

  Milya:

  "Children... Yuko, Mo..

  did your history teacher never tell you about the Cold War?"

  Yuko & Mo:

  "No! They hid it from us!"

  Milya:

  "My husband Raynor is very protective. Let me explain.

  The Cold War was a battle between the Seven Great Warriors and Samson Mo's grandfather.

  When Samson was killed, the seven warriors were crowned as the Seven Kings." Mia:

  "Woah...

  this changes everything thought about Centopia.

  Did King Ono fight too"

  Milya:

  "The Unicorn King could not fight. He felt his rival was dying... and his power collapsed."

  Mia:

  "Then how did he become one of the Seven Kings if he didn't fight in the Cold War?" Milya:

  "Because of fear.

  Ono is on the same level as Samson" Mia clenches her fists, furious. Mia:

  "I'm sick of this!

  Why does Raynor always hide everything? He never tells the truth! He keeps secrets until death!"

  Milya:

  "Twenty years ago, your father losif came to Raynor and asked him to hide everything from Suddenly, Raynor appears on the balcony, eyes full of guilt.

  Raynor:

  "losif...

  kept my promise."

  Raynor looks like a younger Mo, around 40. Renzo (Mia's grandfather) and losif (Mia's father) arrive.

  Raynor:

  "Why have you both come to me?"

  losif:

  "We did it.

  In two years, we hid all the sword fragments. I want you to tell Mia, when she's in danger, to search for the pieces."

  Raynor:

  "Who is Mia?"

  Renzo:

  "losif's baby.

  My granddaughter."

  losif:

  "I'm sorry to ask this...

  but can you hide the truth from my child? I want her to feel like she's living in a fairy tale when she turns twelve...

  not in a nightmare."

  Raynor:

  can't do that.

  She'll hate me.

  My own child will hate me too."

  Renzo:

  "Think of your son.

  He'll be safe.

  And so will my granddaughter."

  Raynor:

  refuse.

  If they learn the truth, lose my child. He'll run away from home."

  losif:

  "Do it for me, old friend.

  Even if she hates you..

  even if she hates me...

  am the one to blame for everything." Renzo:

  "When they learn the truth, break the spell when they turn eighteen. By then they'll be mature enough to handle the dangers of Centopia."

  Raynor sighs deeply.

  Raynor:

  "..Fine.

  do it."

  He looks at baby Mo in the crib. Raynor:

  "I'm sorry, my child...

  for everything."
