The Truth

Chapter 24

    I walked down the halls of the castle, my hand on the hilt of my sword as I hid quickly behind a pillar as a few cloaked people ran past, seeming to be searching for something. I then moved around the pillar quietly as I kept an eye on the two of them, I then began to walk backwards, before running right into someone.

    A hand clamped over my mouth, muffling my scream, as an arm wrapped around my waist tightly preventing me from fighting back as my arms were trapped against my body. I thrashed around trying to get out of the person's grip as they dragged me down the hall with ease and into the throne room.

    "I found her, your majesty." I froze as I looked over at the throne to see the one and only Olympus, her scarlet red eyes gleaming with excitement. Down on their knees in front of her was my father, bloodied and bruised, most of the countries being held down by people in cloaks, and Ama who was forced to be beside her mother.

    "Ah good, you came just in time." Olympus spoke as she held her blade to my father's throat, a smirk decorating her lips. "I have been waiting so long to finally meet you." She stated as the cloaked person kicked the back of my legs knocking me to my knees, I let out a groan in pain before glaring right up at her. "Oh don't look at me like that. You and I are the same, you know."

    "I am nothing like you." I spoke through gritted teeth, struggling to keep a level head as I resisted the urge to charge at her right then and there.

    "Mother please-" Ama began to speak, struggling against the cloak's grip, her eyes pleading.

    "Silence you wrench." Olympus snapped, pointing her sword directly at Ama who gulped, leaning her head away from the blade. "You have no right to speak. To think I gave birth to a coward like you. Weak, just like your father." She growled, looking at Ama in disgust, tears welling up in Ama's eyes.

    "At least father never treated his people like cattle." Ama snapped back, earning a backhand slap from Olympus, Ama just turned her eyes back on Olympus glaring at her with so much hatred and despair, I thought she was a different person. Reich casted his eyes towards the ground, seeming to be lost in thought as Poland glanced in his direction along with France.

"I don't need a daughter like you anyway." She huffed before dropping her sword down to her side before gesturing with a soft smile. "I have (Y/N) to be your replacement."

"No." I spoke without hesitation causing Olympus to retract her hand in surprise, before clenching it into a fist.

"No? I see how it is, I have to show you some tough love now don't I?" Olympus raised her sword, dark blue electricity danced across her iron blade before digging it deep into Atlantis's chest. Atlantis's eyes widened as he coughed up blood, his gaze drifting over at Ama as the light in them began to dull.

Ama screamed out in agony as I only watched with wide eyes, tears coming to them as I watched my father's body go limp. Olympus placed her foot, pushing Atlantis off her blade, watching him fall limp to the floor, a pool of blood began to surround his body. "No!" Ama screamed out as she shook free of the cloak's grip, running to Atlantis's side, falling on her knees not caring about the blood as she lifted his head to her chest as she began to cry. Her tears falling onto his teal skin, his own tears slipping past his sightless eyes.

Anger flared in my blood red eyes as tears slipped down my cheeks. I elbowed the cloak who was standing behind me in the gut, causing them to stumble back as I pulled out my sword, cyan sparks flying off of the blade as I aimed a blow at Olympus who was smirking down at Ama. Olympus turned her head quickly, eyes widening in surprise before another cloaked person, one that was standing at Olympus's side, jumped in front of her, raising their sword blocking my attack.
