The war had never really started. As soon as Yoonjun fell, so did his army. The elven armies were busy extinguishing the last of, the once roaring, fire and trying to restore what remained of the badly damaged surrounding forest. Ringing filled my ears as I stood and stared at my hands. The trauma of my actions was falling upon me.
Had I really just done that? I had never expected to actually use my sword in a battle.
The others were busy tending to the Earth Kingdom elves who had fallen along with their home. Their lifeless bodies, including Lix's littered the ground and I was horrified.
We may not have lost to his army, but we had lost. He had achieved what he wanted. The Kingdom of Eldoria had fallen. I dropped to my knees in disbelief.
"Y/n, are you OK?" Mochi knelt beside me as I panted. I had just killed a man. I had killed my ex. I was a murderer. I stared down at my blood stained hands. Crimson ran between my fingers and the overwhelming urge to throw up was settling on me. I looked up at his worry riddled face.
"M-Mochi." He embraced me and held me to his chest. I could feel his heart racing almost as quickly as my mine. I had never seen my first night with Felix turning out like this.
"Don't y/n. He was not a living soul. You saved everyone. Don't you dare feel bad for this." He instructed as he rubbed my back, trying to bring some comfort to my broken heart. I reached a shaky hand up and placed it on his warm back. I was still breathless and no amount of air ever felt like it would be enough to fill my lungs.
I needed to pull myself together. We had trained for this. Mochi was my biggest tool right now and I needed to use him as such.
"Go Mochi. Take as many of the Earth Kingdom elves as you can. Felix first." I instructed. "I have to try something." He pulled away and stared down at me. His gentle hands cupped my face as he checked me for any sign of injury.
"Don't do anything stupid y/n. I'll be back for you." He brushed some hair away from my face and kissed the top of my head affectionately. He was obviously satisfied with his inspection of me, as he let go and stood.
He brushed some loose leaves and other decayed plants from his knees carefully. He began walking away and I watched as he transformed. Elves were loaded onto his back. They looked so feeble and their once radiant skin, was dull, grey almost. The moonlight no longer reflected off of it. Instead it made it look sunken and like they were hollow. Devoid of life.
Dead and charred flowers lay around me. The grass had withered and over the land lay a thick ash that sucked in the light, and reflected nothing back. I reached out and ran my hand over the leaves of a poppy. Felix's favourite flower.
I stared at the once dazzling clearing. The clearing that had captured me. The one that had brought me here and started this crazy journey.
The clearing that had given me the love of my life. Felix.
"I guess it's worth a try." I stood and walked to the base of the charred, thick oak tree. I leaned forwards and placed my shaky crimson hands at the base of the tree. I took a deep breath and closed my eyes.
I had been training my powers too, and if I could revive a dead flower, maybe I could revive the ancient oak. As my hands touched the tree I could feel the anguish of all the living souls it supported. They were suffering and suppressed because of the oak. Its death had robbed them of their powers.
"Please let this work." I murmured. I began sending all of my healing energy through my hands and into the dying tree. The pain I felt as I took the death away from the tree and replaced it with life, was unlike anything I had ever felt.
Then something magical happened.
I felt a surge of energy and opened my eyes. I looked around wildly and saw the powers that Yoonjun had stolen. They were leaving his body and drifting towards me in a dazzling display of glittering light. The moon reflected off of it, giving it a ghost like appearance. The eerie white light forced its way into my body. I focused back on my task and kept pushing through.
I had to save the elves.
"KIARA!" My father's voice rang out and I held my hand up. I needed everyone to respect my decision. This was my choice to make.
He was sent flying backwards as I forced my powers into my cold shaky hand. No one was going to stop me. I had to save them.
No matter what.
"Jesus Christ." I muttered as pain spread, from my fingertips, up through my arms to the tip of my head. Then it made its way back down and focused in my heart. It was racing and pounding against my chest, trying to break through my rib cage that trapped it.
I screamed and focused my energy more fiercely, more intently, more urgently, I couldn't hold on any longer, and I was flung backwards. I heard my body thud against the tree before I felt the pain. I laid on the floor, broken and devastated.
My vision was beginning to blur and I tried to stay awake. It had to work. This had to work. My eyes fluttered, as I desperately searched the empty forest floor for any signs of the life that had once flourished here. and then, all at once, it happened.
One single, solitary, star like flower blossomed, and its dazzling white petals glowed under the full spring moon. It danced lazily in the gentle breeze. I couldn't help but smile. I had finally done something right.
I had given my everything to saving them, and it had worked. I felt the icy cold beginning to spread through every inch of my body. I hoped someone other than Lix, or Mochi, or my father would find my body. I didnt want them to suffer that again.
"Princess!" His voice was far away and I couldn't make it out. Was that Chan? Or was it Changbin? I couldn't tell.
All I knew is I was lifted from the cold hard ground where I lay, and someone was yelling, in the distance. I closed my eyes and allowed the peacefulness of the dark to settle over me.
I wasn't scared to die. I was scared to keep living if I didn't have Lix by my side. I finally realised what was going on.
I had given up everything for them, and the final puzzle peice had slotted into place. I was now a human again, and there was no turning back this time.
