Frederick was also walking out, with Brittany beside her, while Mrs Fire walked behind, but as soon as Frederick saw Jayden, he removed his hands from holding Brittany. "Excuse me". He says, meeting him half way. We need to talk please". Jayden was thinking he wanted to scold him, about not opening the door, but his looks, were that of a man, that had seen worse.
"I sensed you knocking at the door, but I was...
"I know, I heard you guys, but that is nit what I am saying". He cut him short.
"Then what is it? Jayden asked, looking back, at those waiting few steps away from them.
"I left the room, and lost my way, I opened the palace morgue, and I saw your mother sitting up. I didn't want to scream, so I walked out gently, but when I got outside, everywhere was dark, I couldn't see anything, I just had to pick a bell from the floor, it was the maidens that helped me, but I think seeing your mother sitting up with her eyes closed, brought darkness to my eyes, I don't understand". Jayden didn't want to act like he didn't believe his friend, but deep within him, he wanted to laugh, that his friend, have allowed his fears, get to him, so what he did was, he brushed it modestly aside.
"Strange things can happen around here, and I would have loved to check it out right away, but we have a coronation to attend, as soon as I am crowned, I will leave the party, and we will both check it out".
Frederick shook his head in disagreement.
"I don't think I will be able to check it out with you". He says, he wouldn't want to see the same thing again.
"Alright then, but I will check it out later. Let's go". He says to the others, and they took their initial position, with guards following behind, they walked out if the palace to the Centre, where the coronation will take place.
As soon as they were noticed, the master of the ceremony announced their coming, urging everyone to stand on their feet, so that they could honour their newest Alpha.
The stand ovation, went with a clap ovation, and as Frederick and Brittany took their seat, Blair had to stand beside Jayden, until he was showed his seat.
"We are here this evening, under this full moon, to thank the gods and goddesses, that have helped us to achieve what we have achieved so far.
We are not the best, but we have been given the best.
We have welcomed the other lands, and today, we are going to crown our Alpha, before them all.
For far too long, we have not really been as we should, we should be brothers and sisters, but we have been separated by our guest for power, our hunger for blood, and our drive for wealth, but today is a new day, we are going to drink together, dine together, and get to know each other even better.
Before now, the decrees, that we are now welcoming even to strangers and to other supernaturals, for we do not want to generalize, as we have come to believe and understand that there are bad people everywhere.
Before the coronation proper, I will call on the father of today. The strongest Alpha ever recalled. The one man, who would place the needs of the pack, before his own. That one man, who will always, be our leader. My people, let us welcome, Alpha Arthur". The entire area, was lightened up, and the fireworks were loud enough to blow one's ears off.
Arthur got up, while Marinara sat down, watching him with her very supportive eye, she really cannot wait, for the day to be over, so that they could be together, and she could share all her worries with him.
As soon as he started staring into space, everyone kept quiet. He still has that aura, and no matter how weak or okdbhe gets, that aura and charisma, will never leave him.
He commands respect, his baritone voice, changes according to his mood, and he hardly laughs or cries in public, he looks too serious all the time. Even after all the name calling, and hailing, he didn't even move his lips to smile, let alone to laugh, he only clapped once, and then got up to speak.
"Thank you all, I appreciate.
I am a man of few words, but straight action, and that is what you all know me for, but I still love and care for you all greatly.
Today I will be sitting at the back, like a god father, to you, to my son, to everyone, directing their steps, so that they don't fall astray, they should be led aright, so as to keep us in the light.
There will always be war, so we are going to be ready always and at all times.
The support you have shown me all through these years, please, show same to my son, support him, and with good people like you, he will excel.
I don't know how much time I have left, but I know, that Demini is in great hands". He concluded and they all stood up, to applaud him and they only sat down, after he sat back close to his Queen, who squeezed his hands, and smiles at him.
The master of ceremonies got up and again to continue.
"No we are going to call on the sorcerer,. our most trusted sorcerer. He speaks directly with the gods and goddesses, he will be the one, to officiate this coronation.
Sodom didn't wait for them to call his name and being a short man, he walked out, from the large crowd, he soon found himself at the centre.
"Please come". He said to Jayden, who got up immediately, but Jayden will have to kneel before Sodom, sobthatvhe could place the crown on him, which a lot laughed at. Not at Jayden kneeling, but at Sodom's height. He grabbed the crown, that was placed on the highest seat, in the middle, no one was sitting on it, he would be the one to sit in it, after he had been crowned.
By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you, Jayden Arthur Alpha and ruler of Demini kingdom". He says and they clapped, fireworks everywhere, loud noise, screams, claps, and hugs, then the party started.
That was all that was needed. The loud scream was still on, when he was led by guards to the high seat, as soon as he sat down, everyone stood up, still jaming their hands together.
Jayden haven't said anything, he allowed them express their excitement. As people started coming one after the other, to congratulate him. He didn't think his friend would want to leave his seat to come and congratulate him, but he did, as he held his hand, he bent over him and says.
"I am seeing things, I think I am going to loose my mind". Jayden remembers what he had told him earlier, he would have to excuse himself somehow.
"Alright, we will check it out". Jayden wanted to tell his father about it, but he changed his mind, he will handle this in his own, but he would speak to Sodom, he should check Frederick out, to know what's happening.
