Chapter 22 : THE REPAIR OF ABDON

The king, concerned with the protection of his remaining kingdom, took hold of the spear. He stood, overlooking the steps'; that drew down into the darkened passage, leading further away into the depths' of the earth. Mysterious and bewildering to the kings' eye, he drew up the spear, and thrust it down upon the opened earth. " You shell be banished for all eternity ". The king said, as he struck the underground stairway.

The rays', shone-out, so bright, they was blinding to the eye. The power of the spear, threw the King, back. Him and his, two entrusted guards', flew out of the gates' . The gates' shut, firm and hard, locking the courtyard - gardens'; down, before the very, King.

The gardens', twisted and turned, changing shape, becoming more enchanting than ever before. A beautiful - gold metal, spread; awakening golden flowers', that blossomed over the bars'; spreading fast and furiously, towards the top. The king sat up, upon the ground, as he and his guards', gathered themselves' together , watching in utter amazement. The paving folded it's self back into it's original condition. Rectangle ponds'; surfaced, and rose bushes' grow up, enriching the gardens', further.

Meanwhile, the palace and the separated earth, joined together, as if they had never been apart. The city fell silent, as the cloud of shadowy death, disappeared.

The Kings' men, picked themselves' up from the outskirts' of the city as they made their way back into the kingdom of Abdon. Leaving the men of Ryon, to stagger away, back towards' their own kingdom, to announce the news' to the Queen.
