As the moonlight shone through the open window arches of the cold stone halls. Cilliya kept on running. Biting through the aching pain in her legs as she draw more closer to darcius's location "where are you you damn bastard!" she said while picking up speed. Suddenly the wails of Lanei's voice echoed through the halls. Stopping dead in her tracks. She stood still. Closing her eyes as she tried to listen to where the sound came from. "Left" she immediately began running towards the corridor on the left. Pacing faster as the wails became more audible. Horror struck as she recognized the hall where luxia's room was located. "You better not. You monster" she quietly whispered. Still feeling an immense amount of anger.
"Tell me where she is... you don't want to lose your fingers don't you?" cilliya could hear Darcius threatening lanei. Oblivious that they were standing right infront of luxia's door. Lanei could only mumble a few words before tears began pouring down her cheeks. "Answer me you little rat!" he said. Raising one dagger in the air as he held lanei's hand up in the air. Lanei struggled to pry herself free from his grasp as she stared at the dagger. "I said. No one gets an inch near my queen" Darcius glanced towards the corridor where Cilliya was standing her sword right beside her as she stared in anger. A slight sense of fear ran through his body. Yet he could not help but laugh. "Be careful little witch. You don't want to hurt the little one do you?" Cilliya glanced towards Lanei who was still trying to pry herself loose. "Stand still you little-" before he could finish his sentence. Cilliya charged at him. Giving a quick wink towards Lanei, Lanei immediately knew what she meant and ran into luxia's room. Closing the door behind her as she heard the loud rumbling of falling chairs and tables.
The clashing of blades of steel was audible enough to make lanei cover her ears. Glancing around the dark unlit room. She saw luxia. Still asleep as she fumbled around in her bed. Running over towards her. She shook her body. Trying to wake her up "luxia.. Luxia!" She tried as best as she could. But she could not wake up luxia". But she did not retreat. Going back as she tried to wake Luxia from her seemingly unending slumber.
"You will never touch my queen!" Cilliya yelled out as she pushed Darcius over the wooden ledge down onto the polished floor below. The floor cracked as his armor hit the tiles. Cracking it in multiple pieces. "For a witch like you you sure do possess a lot of willpower." she said nothing but only stared with immense fury. "I already warned you once. Twice is not an option in this kingdom!" she said. Swinging her sword as she jumped down and plunged her sword right into the ground. Creating a cloud of dust as Darcius struggled to get a sense of his surroundings "for someone who mocks a mortal you should be ashamed of yourself. Calling yourself a god of visiok" he chuckled. "This fight has not ended yet. mortal" he said as he leaped forward and swung his dagger. Successfully slicing a little of Cilliya's arm. As he turned around to look. Expecting her to drop and scream in agony. He was dumbfounded. Not even a single drop of blood poured out. She smiled "god is on my side" she said before swinging her sword again. Her attacks made it impossible for Darcius to make a move. As she swung with swift motions. Managing to slice pieces of his armor and body. Falling down to the ground on her knees. He grunted out in pain.
Cilliya could not help but laugh maniacally as she watched her fiercest enemy lose his strength. "How does death taste like hmm? Is it what you had hoped?" she said mockingly. He did not give a single audible response but only grunted. "Aww is your tongue tied together? How sad. Now you can feel my wrath" she said. Walking over towards Darcius while dragging her sword across the floor. Its metal tip scraped across the floor. As she was only an inch away from his face, she pointed the sword right at his eye
"Look up," she commanded. Darcius did not comply. "I said... look.. Up"
Darcius looked up. "Why are you grinning?" Cilliya asked. "Oh how the mortal turned for the worse." he said. This only added fire to Cilliya's burning fury. "Die" she said. Raising her sword. As she prepared to execute darcius. "By the moonlight of eulithia. You have trespassed eulithia's rule of freedom and safety. By this I will have you executed by the hands of the one you have hurt." but before she could plunge her sword onto his head. Elisia came barging in. his face filled with sweat as he was dumbfounded by the scene before him "what is this? What happened?" Elisia asked.
Cilliya felt regret yet again. Trying to explain the situation. Elisia glanced over to darcius. Immediately recognizing who he was. "We have quite a history don't we? Elisia redark.'' Darcius said menincally. Rage filled her eyes as she dropped her sword onto his head. Blood splattered all over her maiden dress as her sword dripped of his blood. "Cilliya what have you done?" Elisia said. Horrified by the grotesque scene. Tears fell down her cheeks as she slowly came to her senses. "I'm sorry i-" but before she could mutter any word out tears pooled around her eyes. Dropping down onto her knees as she covered her face with her hands. "I just wanted revenge," she said. Elisia stood frozen. Unable to speak or think. "Cilliya i-"
He sighed. Looking around as he tried to think of a way to comfort her.
Walking over to her. He wrapped his arm around her back. Carefully caressing her as she bawled out pools of tears. The red flower on her hair glimmered as the moonlight shone of its bright petals. The man who had been haunting her in her dreams. Now finally dead by the hands of the one who he had hurt. As she peeked through her blood tainted fingers. She stared at his lifeless body. Void of any life. "Elisia?" "am i going to be arrested?" he shook his head "no.. you saved countless of lifes from being murdered." she snickered before crying out again. Men came barging in as they entered the palace. They all stood in shock as they entered the main hall. All staring at the blood covered room. "Lux- '' veranos ran through the line of guards before also standing frozen in shock. "What happened here"
He said. Almost at a loss for words. But everyone understood what had happened already. Seeing Cilliya cry out as they noticed the trashed halls and broken window shards on the ground. "Cl-clean it up and bring cilliya to aunt grevund for the time being" they all obliged as they carefully walked over to Cilliya. Patting her on the back before escorting her out,
Elisia and Veranos stared at each other. Both knowing what had occurred and knowing what to do. "We have avoided catastrophe for now"
