Dullahan

The Dullahan is depicted as a headless rider, usually on a black horse, who carries their head in their arm. Usually, the Dullahan is male, but there are some female versions.

The mouth is usually in a hideous grin that touches both sides of the head. Its eyes are constantly moving about and can see across the countryside even during the darkest nights. The flesh of the head is said to have the color and consistency of moldy cheese. The Dullahan is believed to use the spine of a human corpse for a whip, and its wagon is adorned with funeral objects: it has candles in skulls to light the way, the spokes of the wheels are made from thigh bones, and the wagon’s covering is made from a worm-chewed pall or dried human skin.

The ancient people believed that where the Dullahan stops riding, a person is due to die. The Dullahan calls out the person’s name, drawing out the soul of his victim, at which point the person immediately drops dead.

The sun is high above, it’s afternoon, and the sun is radiating a sweltering heat, making everyone couldn’t bear standing outside.

*Sound of a door being opened*

Today sword class had already finished, Oz is at the orphanage’s huge living room, having a warm chat with the kids, joking and talking about things. When Oz heard the sound of the main door, Oz’s eyes shone.

“Old man? Is that you!?” Asked Oz with a huge voice.

But the person who just came inside the orphanage keep his silent, making Oz anxious and left the kids to confirm the identity of the person who just opened the door.

Oz rushes quickly to the main door, seeing that the figure who just came inside the orphanage is suspiciously using a cloak that covered all of his body, Oz dashes and strikes the suspicious figure using the wooden sword that he uses to teach the orphan kids.

Boom!

(Shit!)

The figure leisurely caught Oz’s wooden sword that he had already infused and strengthen using his mana.

“Not bad Ren, for you to be already in the Great swordsman rank by training for 3 months, you must be a genius!” Said the figure with an old voice.

“That voice, and that tone that either mocking or praising… Old man! You’re back! Where have you gone in these two months!?” Asked Oz.

Old man Kyron opened his hood, letting his white hair graciously fell. His face got more wrinkles than before, showing how much stress he had accumulated in these three months.

“Let’s talk inside the living room,” Said Oz after he finished observing old man Kyron’s condition.

When they entered the living room, the kids are still leisurely chatting and played chess. When they saw an old man Kyron entering the living room, all of them had smiles on their faces and greet the old man.

“Kids, go back to your rooms, let the old man Kyron relax here for a while,” Instruct Oz to the kids.

The kids love both Oz and old man Kyron, and they respected them. The kids obediently followed Oz’s command when he instructed them. They went out to their own room, some of them go to the backyard to play swords.

“Nash, asked call Elena to come here, tell her that old man Kyron had just got back,” Oz told Nash.

“Okay big bro!” Said Nash cheerfully. He’s very happy seeing old man Kyron back, he wants to hug him but Oz said old man Kyron is tired, so he refrains himself from doing so.

“Bill, Ted. Please serve some tea for us,” Asked Oz to the fat kid with short black hair, Bill. And his best buddy, the skinny kid with brown hair and a pretty face, Ted.

“”Yes, big bro Ren!”” Answered both of them.

“What’s the condition, old man? Your face seems to show how much distress you’ve been having lately…” Asked Oz.

Hearing Oz’s question, old man Kyron only closes his eyes and said “I don’t think I need to answer, your eyes seem to tell me that you’ve already reached to a conclusion,”

Oz followed suit, he closes his eyes as well, gathering his thought.

“As from what I’ve seen, the Gracewield and the Potterland’s people had been increasing lately, and they’ve also sent some ‘peacekeeping troops’ here. It means that slowly, our queen’s authority began to weaken. I’m guessing there are some noble that join hands with either Gracewield or Potterland kingdom to conspire against Grandaria kingdom,”

“The fact that your condition got worst simultaneously with the Grandaria kingdom’s condition, it means only one thing, you’re in the direct orders of the queen, am I right until this point?” Asked Oz while he opens his eyes.

“As usual, great deduction, Ren. Grandaria kingdom will prosper under you,” Said the old man Kyron.

“I humbly reject that thought, I have no dreams to be the hound of this kingdom, I won’t sell my freedom that cheap,” Said Oz with a shrug.

Old man Kyron snorted.

“I wonder whether it’s your real opinion, or it’s just you being sarcastic,” Said old man Kyron with a smirk.

“I’ll leave it to your imagination,” Answered Oz, smirking.

Oz misses this kind of chat with the old man, he’s one of the people that Oz had vowed to protect inside of his heart.

*Sigh*

Old man Kyron gave a long sigh, Oz felt that his face ages faster when he sighs, making his heart worried.

“Just like what you’ve said, Ren. The kingdom’s condition is like a tree on the verge of collapsing. The king is still too young, he needs to hide longer at the shadows before he could take the throne.”

“Those despicable nobles are planning to make a coup d’etat, one by one, they started to make more problems with the queen. And some of them conspire with Gracefield, and some of them with Potterland, little do they know, that those kingdoms are just using them!” Said old man Kyron with a face full of wrath.

“Why don’t you eradicate them, then? You’re a sword god, right? There is only 1 sword god and 1 magic god in this kingdom, and you’re one of them. Doesn’t the kingdom give you some respect as you’re the guardian of this kingdom? You should’ve got the privilege to eradicate some nobles bastard,” Asked Oz.

“The problem doesn’t lie there, Ren. I do have the privilege to eradicate people who had the potential for threatening the safety of the kingdom, but our opponents here is not just an ordinary noble, it’s the prime minister, Keaton Baldwin. Not only as a devilish prime minister, but he also has high prestige in this kingdom, he has the title of a duke.”

“He is the one who’s having a cold war with the queen lately, making the queen let her guards down. He conspires with the Gracefield who had 4 Sword God and 2 Magic God. If I were to eradicate him, I’ll be the one who ended up eradicated,” Said old man Kyron.

Oz closes his eyes, and contemplate for a while. Bill and Ted had finished making the tea and served it at the round table. Oz gave them a smile of gratitude and gave them the sign to leave them for a while.

“And that means if I, an unknown foreigner who killed that old bastard, there will be no harm towards the Gracefield kingdom, that’s what your words mean, I presume?” Asked Oz.

“Definitely. as I thought, you remembered the request I’ve told you before,” Said old man Kyron.

“Of course, and I think this is the ‘right time’ you mean for using me, right? And I hope you don’t forget my request too,” Said Oz.

“Hmph, I remembered clearly, the job will be tomorrow night, you can take the equipment you ordered at Owen’s blacksmith tomorrow. Let’s stop here, Ren. I want to lay my old body to the bed for a while,” Said old man Kyron as he stands and walked to his room.

Before old man Kyron’s long absence, Oz had requested a piece of equipment to be made in case his power will be needed. He draws the equipment that looks exactly from the game he likes when he’s a kid, the equipment from the assassin creed, the hoods, and the weapons, he draws all of them with full detail at the paper.

As he talks with the old man Kyron, he didn’t realize that the evening had come, he went to his room and lie his body at the bed. He concentrates all of his focus to send his conscious to the goblin king’s clone.

Both Oz and old man Kyron forgotten someone. The figure came inside the living room but found out that there is no one inside the living room.

“Where is grandpa Kyron?” Asked Elena who just returns from the market.

The Tarot kingdom’s army had already camped just 2 Miles from the demon territory, ready to attack anytime. All of them waited for Oz’s return and command.

As Oz takes control of the goblin king’s body, he stands and said: “Attention all!”

Everyone at the camp immediately stopped the things they’re doing and gathered in front of Oz, and kneeled.

“””Welcome back, your majesty.””” Said all of them in unison.

“Today, is our first day, of declaring war with the despicable demons. Some of our people had experienced the brutality of the demons. They attack our homes, they deprive our peace, and assault us.”

Oz summons his maleficent staff and raises it high.

“But today is our revenge. Stand proudly warriors of Tarot, as it’s time, to retaliate,”

“””Roaaaaaar”””” Roared all of them, brimming with excitement.
