Chapter 12- A Princess without her Kingdom

Chapter 12- A princess without her kingdom

Eutha stood still in shock of seeing her father disintegrate in front of her eyes. And her home was reduced to atoms. When she was a girl, she remembered her father telling her after not attending one of her tutorś lessons that 'Whatever happens, you must protect the Verline Isles and their people'. She had failed. Her father had gone the same way as her mother. He had sacrificed himself to save everyone else. He was the only man who died that night. 20 were injured severely. The word was that all the Generals were coming to discuss her father's succession across the world to White Tiger Island which was not far from the former base of the Revolutionaries, the Isles. Eutha did not get a minute of sleep that night. She wailed to herself, He promised, He promised, How could he? For Eutha, her father was everything. Her father was a Governor during the reign of the Mages. He then turned to the Demonś side and joined the Council of the Empire. Secretly, he helped form the Revolutionaries and was their spy and information collector. He was elected to be their leader. Eutha's mother had been killed by one of the Devils, who were the agents of Raiknos. Ever since that incident, he plotted day and night to avenge her death... The next day had finally begun. Eutha got from her bed, and watched the horizon, as the White Tiger Island had arrived in sight. Hundreds of other boats had arrived. Eutha got off the ship, to view a lush green island that made her feel much better. She had also realized that she had been seasick on the journey. Among the hustling she could see the Generals, Damjan and Lasira. Lasira walked to Eutha, ¨I am so sorry for your loss, there is much to discuss as well. We will speak after our social event night, where we will celebrate our victory and tomorrow, mourn our losses. Leave your mind off it for now. ¨ she advised. Damjan also payed his condolences by leaving a flower petal at a memorial dedicated to her father, before the two left for making announcements, Eutha asked about a Berny, the third and missing general, ¨I don't see General Berny here? Was she not able to make it? Damjan nodded his head and said, ¨We will speak later¨. Lasira walked up onto a stage, while everyone quieted down. Loudly and boldly, she spoke, ¨We have had our first major victory! The Dread Shrine has been destroyed and the Demons' plan foiled! This could not be done without any of you and those who fought valiantly to protect the Verline Isles. I'd like to first and foremost, thank our new allies for their bravery, Bishan and Randell, whom we could not have gotten the advantage we had without them! And to Peleg, the Mage, who cast his magic defeating the Demon Lord Raiknos, and the destruction of the Shrine!¨. The Ceremony took place soon after. Now it was time to mourn. After the ceremony, she crept to the secret meeting. Damjan, "We have to abandon the survivors from Acheron, it is too dangerous and if Eutha finds out, the entire organization will fall apart." Lasira nodded in agreement. Eutha ran off. "I have to save my people." she muttered to herself while walking to her father's memoria. She saw a sailor drop a petal there. It was Ilta, her friend from her youth! She immediately ran to hug her. The two had a wholesome moment to say at the least. Ilta spoke, "It's good to see you after so long. I had thought I would never see you again after Raiknos captured you"

"Our people are left stranded at Acheron and the Generals won't let me bring a single sailor to aid them. I'm their princess and it's my responsibility to save them" she said, almost crying. "No, you are their Queen. And it's my responsibility too, we will sail there. Tonight. And save our people".
