The forgotten kingdom

Chapter 10

"I gave you a chance to join me Aria and you turned me down."

She felt her heartbreaking as he raised his weapon towards her. She couldn't move when Luche warped in front of her blocking the blow meant for her.

"How could you do this to her. She was like your own daughter." Aria watched Luche fight the man she grew up calling dad.

"I knew who she was the whole time. Just like I knew about you two sneaking around. I read your texts. She is no daughter of mine. If she were then she would have joined me."

Luche was tossed against a wall and Aria snapped out of her shock. She moved in front of him.

"I have something you lack Drautos. I have my honor. Me and Regis may have had a rocky ending, but I know he is doing what he is to protect our future."

With that, she warped at him and the two for the first time in years fought.

"over here Aria." She turned to see Regis with Nyx, Luche, and Luna. She warped over to them as the doors closed.

"When did you guys get here?" she asked.

"Not too long ago." As the doors once more opened, she looked at Luche and the king.

Nyx was leading with Luna when Aria and Luche stopped next to their king. She put up a barrier as she looked at Nyx and Luna.

"Get her to safety Nyx she plays a role in protecting Noctis."

She turned as Drautos came into the room. She looked at Luche and nods. The two warp and attack their former captain. Aria stumbles and falls when she looks up Drautos is bringing his sword down on her. She looks away, but when the blade never hits her, she looks to see Luche staring down at her.

"I told you I would always protect you, my princess." Aria caught him as he dropped. Luche had taken the blow meant for her.

Aria screams not seeing Drautos strike down Regis and walk away. She feels something in her break and places a head-on Luche.

"I will return for you. Please wait for me."

She stands and goes after the man she once called father. When she gets outside, she turns to see Nyx running towards the middle of town. Aria took off warping and as she got close, she saw Nyx getting ready to put on the ring of Lucis.

Stop him or he will die.

She heard her mother in her head.

When she warped she place her hand lightly on Nyx's.

"Don't. Please I need you to get Luna to safety. Leave him to me." She once more summoned her sword the words on it had a glow to them as did, she.

"Who are you?" Luna asked in amazement. Aria smiled at her.

"I'm the Goddess of creation and I have a score to settle with Drautos."

She heard Nyx and Luna let out a gasp. Aria heard Drautos jumping at her and raised her hand stopping the man in the air.

"You took the man I love from me. You betrayed me. Yet you claim you knew who I was. If so, did you not think I would come after you?" she walked closer to him.

"I created everything in this world, and I can destroy it just as easily. I will not let you hurt anymore people." She hears two gunshots and turns to see Tredd walking closer.
