A Man Called Storm (Part 16)
"I am going to kill you when I see you physically. Your blood will be used to clean my Palace and your body will be given to my dragon's to eat." Dean threatened, narrowing his eyes at the cloaked figure.
The cloaked figure chuckled darkly, the strange sound irritating Dean's ears. "I told you before Dean, when you wake up from your sleep, you won't even remember this discussion taking place," the cloak figure said to him. "Remember what I told you and shut up." he added this time around with seriousness in his voice.
Emperor Dean couldn't help himself but nod his head at the unknown person's command.
If only he knew who it was, he could have tracked down the person and dealt with him by telling him to 'Shut up'.
"Say yes....sire,"
Dean gritted his teeth so hard that it was hurting his jaw. He couldn't give this person the pleasure and satisfaction, but his mouth opened and the words flew out from his lips before he knew what he did.
"Yes sire,"
"You now see Dean, I am your master here," Dean could sense mockery in that. "Well, it's time for you to wake up. I will summon you soon and tell you my next plan." the cloaked figure added. "Until then."
**********
Dean woke up with a start and a splitting headache. He noticed Kira staring at him with worries in her eyes. He quickly sat upright in his bed and held his head.
His head was pounding so hard as if invisible iron were hitting his head. He wondered if Kira was hearing it, thus her look.
"Oh thank heavens you are awake Dean," Lord Kira said, breathing out a sigh.
"What happened?" Dean managed to ask and then raised one of his index finger up, silencing Kira from speaking, and concentrated on his head. He used his healing power to smoothly stop his splitting headache because when he had asked his question, it felt as if his head was about to divide into two. He felt the headache fading away slowly and then the pounding of his head stopped. He breathed a sigh of relief and then opened his eyes he didn't even know he had closed. "What happened?" he repeated his question.
"I heard you screaming and holding your head. I was scared and tried waking you up but it didn't work. I was about to call Kando and his brother before you opened your eyes." Lord Kira explained shifting close to him and touching his forehead lightly.
"I was screaming?" Emperor Dean asked in disbelief. He was screaming in his sleep? A whole him? Why was he screaming?
"Yes, so what made you scream so badly Dean? What kind of dream were you dreaming that would make you scream like that?" Lord Kira ask in a worried voice.
Emperor Dean closed his eyes to remember and just like before he couldn't. He tried again but nothing popped out, his head was clear.
"I can't remember Kira," Emperor Dean said.
"You must be joking, right? Your scream woke me up and all you are saying right now.is that you can't remember what made you scream? Are you kidding me." Kira asked with unbelievable doubtful eyes.
"I am not joking here Kira, I'm serious. I can't remember a single thing. This will be the second time this is occurring to me," Dean said more to himself than to Kira. "What's happening to me? Or are my powers too strong to do this to me?" He asked himself and couldn't get an answer to that question.
"Okay stop thinking Dean, you will surely remember, don't force yourself." Kira told him.
Dean didn't say a word, instead he stood up from his bed and went to open his door. "Go and call Kando and his brother right now!" he yelled out the words at his guards outside his room door and watched with satisfaction as they all ran to carry out his orders. He closed the door and turned around, he saw Kira putting on her clothes back. Good, he doesn't want anyone to take a glance at her body except him.
"Why are you calling them? Do you remember your dream?" Kira asked, staring at Dean.
"No, I haven't. I need them to come here because the four of us really need to discuss something important. An idea just came to my head and you are going to love it."
"What kind of idea?"
"Let Kando and his brother come first, then I will say it once. I don't want to repeat myself."
"What about what you promised me, about Adaoh?"
"I will do as you say Kira, I have given you my word and I don't intend going back-" whatever he was about to say was interrupted by the knock on his door. He knew who it was immediately. "Come in."
The door opened and Kando with his brother Cando came inside.
Kando and his brother were shocked when they saw Kira. They still remember that she was a female even when Emperor Dean disguised her. but seeing her now, all grown up and beautiful, dried their throats. They couldn't believe she would grow up to become this beautiful.
"What are you staring at, haven't you noticed her before?" Emperor Dean's angry voice cut them off their thoughts. "I don't like that look,"
"Sorry your highness," Cando apologized as he averted his eyes from Kira to the window. He knew his brother, Kando, would do the same or probably he was staring at Dean.
"You summoned us. Is there a problem my Lord?" Kando asked, staring at Dean.
"No, there is no problem. I just have an idea, a brilliant idea. Instead of waiting for my nephews to kill themselves for the throne, why don't take actions towards them instead of striking in the dark or hiding to do our crimes."
"We don't get you," Cando said.
"I mean to say, why don't we make one of the brothers capture Kira. Once Kira is in their midst she will gather information and pass it to us and will also start killing them, finishing them all one after the other," Emperor Dean said.
"Are you alright Dean or did you hit your head so hard in the dream?" Lord Kira asked. "Because what you are asking is not possible. I am not going to any Kingdom and I refuse to be used as a bait in this stupid idea of yours because if any of your nephews that dare to touch me will  taste my sword and my fist. Count me out of your discussion please." she added angrily.
