TW:Stabbing

Another three years past.She walked past the mirror and saw she was aging.She was not supposed to.She quickly ran to the book she took from the witch that had the deal inside it.It said she had to continue to kill people in order to keep him happy with the offer.Originally she was going to try to bring back Margret but after her dream a few years ago she changed her mind but she decided to become immortal so she could be alive to see the destruction of Asterin.After all they killed her true love.She was never satisfied until her job was done and in this case it was to destroy Asterin.Both her and her husband had similar stories but she took another way.She never knew his story.Maybe if she did she may have not been as cruel but right now it is just her.It has always been that way even when she was with Margret.She looked in the book for more instructions.It stated that whoever made the deal needs to be in charge at all costs.She was confused since she was.She broke out of her trance by her husband telling her he was going on a day trip.After he left she went to the servants since they know all of the secrets in the kingdom.All the servants were laughing. "What is so funny". "Nothing your highness".One of the servants had said.Oryn could tell they were lying.She looked into the eyes of one that couldn't hold secrets. "Your highness,the king is having an affair". "You weren't supposed to say anything". "With who." "We don't know we think it is a girl from the village". "Thank you for your help".Later on that day Edmond came back.He was laying on their bed.Oryn walked in. "Is there something you are supposed to tell me". "No darling". "Fine then.Let me just wash up and we can go to sleep."She walked into the bathroom.She grabbed her dagger. "Wow Oryn you look stunning".She goes onto the bed.She then gets onto him. "Goodnight". "What".She then grabs her dagger and she stabs him in the chest.He gasps for air.He pulls on Oryn and the bed but it was no use. "You monster".He said before he takes his last breath.She gets off him.She snaps her fingers and her magic got the blood off her and made the dagger disappear.She then makes the window break.She takes a breath before running into the hallway screaming for help.After a few seconds servants ran into the room.Her two eldest daughters peeked out into the hallway. "Mum what happened to father?" "He was killed now both of you back to bed".Oryn had no sympathy for him or her children.She was power hungry.For a few months later she would turn herself into her younger self and lure men in the village in and then she would kill them.

Many years later her three eldest children were about age to inheiret the throne.These three knew it was about time and they had a meeting. "I have decided I do not want the throne."Daisy said. "Me either".The Elandra said. "Why you two have the right to". "Evander our mother killed father.She is clearly here for power.She had no reason to do it other than that". "Mother wouldn't do that.She loved him.and he loved her". "Evander,father wasn't happy.He had an affair.Not with a women but with a man.I saw him.He told me to not tell anyone.But if there was a rumor he wanted everyone to think it was a women." "But maybe mother was just upset with him that he had a lover". "Still Evander,she killed him.She is going to kill who gets the throne next". "No she isn't.Since you two want to pass this up.I will take the throne". That night they told their mother.She was not thrilled.Like she did to Edmond she had to kill her son.She went into his room.She looked at him one last time before attempting to stab him.A protective forcefeild protected him from his mother.He woke up when he heard his mother struggling. "Guards". He yelled.They came and took her.Evander got his older sisters and they went outside with their mother being held by the guards.A fire was started. "You won't get away with this.These lands will forever be held on by me.You and your future generations will pay.They will get that retched marking.You will regret this".She said before being burned in the fire. "No one say a word about this to anyone.This stays with us until we die".The three siblings look at eachother and then back at the fire.Their youngest siblings never knew what happend but they still wanted to leave the kingdom".
