The Lost City (Part 2)



I looked closely to the the statue and realised it pictured a king, on his throne, he had a staff in his hand and an orb floating on his left hand. The king pictured as a statue also wore an amulet, similar to the one the panther wore. He remembered that the amulet the panther wore missed a piece, but this amulet was mysteriously exactly the same, it wasn't the other piece, it was 100% identical. Then suddenly, the panther was a few meters behind him. From the panthers eyes, I knew the panther wanted me to follow it.
The panther led me through some forgotten streets and finally, I saw where it was leading me, it was a castle, massive and full of broken bricks and stairs. There were lots of holes in the walls of the lost building and through the holes, I saw panthers walking in the castle, they didn't seem to see me until one of them turned around and saw me, it said something to it's fellow panthers and they all stared at me. Me and the panther walked through the castle door opening that didn't have a door in it, and then, I saw something I didn't believe I was seeing, it was an old man sitting down on a stair. He had a bard as long as Rapunzel's hair and the castle's interior around me was broken, every table at least had a thousand cracks in it and chandeliers missed a dozen candles. The man looked at me and smiled, he walked towards me and said: "Hello there, I am William, I was the wise man in this kingdom."
Image result for forgotten castles"What happened to this kingdom? Sorry to say this but, it looks very forgotten.", I asked curiously.
"Well, several moons ago, our kingdom was very rich, people walked along the streets, we had enough food, we could survive the worst of disasters, nothing was able to defeat us.", answered William, "It was a day like any other, I was sitting in my laboratory doing what I normally do, when behind me, a wizard appeared, he stole my staff and the next second, I ran out and I was directly greeted by a group of panthers, I was terrified, the panthers were the people, I realised. I went back into the lab and it was empty, every bit of alchemy was gone, poof. I have been looking for a solution, some years now and in the meantime, the city started to disappear. Vines grew everywhere and bricks fell and collapsed upon themselves."
"Do you not have any solution?", I asked, sunken into the story.
"Well yes, but it includes 2 people to work together and attack the wizard's tower.", answered William, "That is why I was happy to see you come into the building. Would you help a stranger?"
I agreed to help him and all the panthers that gathered behind me roared with excitement, they depended on me.

Dr. Phobia grabbed his computer out of his mini baggage and he actually couldn't set up the PC himself, the PC was sitting on his table for years or even decades, he just can't remember how everything worked with the setting up of something that old. So Tosh helped him, Tosh actually had studied with computers, so it was not that surprising to Dr. Phobia, but he was okay with the result, the computer worked and it was faster than ever before, after Tosh deleted some duplicate files and managed the RAM. They quickly went on the internet and searched up for dozens of social medias and made accounts in them, they advertised in lots of different ways and Tosh was even forced to walk out of the door and hold a piece of cardboard saying: "Please subscribe, follow and read Dr. Phobia's social media." Sooner or later, Dr. Phobia's computer started getting insane, it just couldn't manage all the data that is being received, followers commenting on posts, some scien...

So the training started, we began by walking through a series of old hallways and that is when I actually realise how big the castle was, I couldn't even imagine how powerful of a kingdom all this was. It took ages until we reach what seems to be the backyard. The backyard was very swampy and unlucky for me, it started to rain, it had a stone wall around it, which surprisingly still stands, vines have grown everywhere, moss has covered, pretty much what was a stone pathway. A few feet ahead lay some sort of target for archery, it wasn't a full circle anymore, it was a semi archery target. I hoped to not do archery, I quite had enough experience that I wasn't good in it, and luckily, he grabbed an old wooden stick. He gave it to me and told me to throw the stick into the middle. The stick touched my fleshy hand and I felt power from my hands coming out. I aimed the stick at the centre point and threw. The stick missed completely, and it flew straight through the stone ...
