"Freen?" Becky said
Freen was frozen. Becky went over to check on Freen.
Freen launched at Becky suddenly. Becky tried her best to restrain her.
"Marlin, what's happening?!" Becky asked
"It looks like the seed is still inside her even in reincarnation. I told you reincarnation does not erase everything." Marlin replied
"..no" Becky said, her eyes widening with terror.
The sirens intensified.
Wilden began to laugh.
Non looked on as the situation became dire.
Becky was fighting to hold Freen back from harming herself, Marlin and Ravon had scaled an attack on Wilden and General Wo was tending to Billy.
Non's gaze changed in an instant. It was as if he had found peace in whatever he was about to do.
"Becky, you have to save Thailand." Non said softly
Becky looked knowingly at Non. It was like time stopped for several moments as they looked at each other with a knowing that indicated they shared a secret.
Becky let go of Freen and Non grabbed her tying her down.
"Marlin!" Becky exclaimed
"Rebecca?" Marlin replied
In that moment Becky saw Freen beating Non to death. She was back, the vicious unrelenting Sarocha that had nearly killed their children centuries ago.
"Freen!" Becky shouted.
"Becky!" Non exclaimed.
Becky froze.
"This is your country and you are its rightful ruler. That is your duty above anything else." Non said
"But..." Becky said
"My ancestors are the very same ones that cursed you once upon a time and with my death the curse should be broken as I am the last of my line. This is the only thing I can give you as retribution as well as your throne. I have already made preparations. I know my family and I have wronged you greatly but if I can ask you for one thing. Take Thailand in your hands, feed her, grow her, nurture her and love her like you once did. My family and I nearly killed her but she lives." Non said
The light in Non's eyes disappeared as General Wo and Billy held him. They acknowledged all he said and it felt like they supported his notions.
Becky shut her eyes.
"Becky!" Marlin exclaimed
Marlin looked over at Wilden enraged by what he had caused.
"You're a coward Wilden. You've been watching me since I came back. Since they gathered my essences. I felt it but you've never made a move even when you knew exactly where I was. You're a coward. And I know why. You're afraid." Marlin said
"Ha, ok." Wilden said
"Because that crown is mine!" Marlin said in a thundering voice and the crown swiftly came to him like a dog returning to its owner.
The crown sat atop his head.
Suddenly the power Wilden was wielding reduce and he was significantly drained.
Freen also fell to the floor where Non lay below her. She looked down at her hands covered in blood and began to shake in a fit.
Becky looked over knowing exactly what her soulmate was thinking.
"No!!!!!" Becky exclaimed.
Upon realising what she had done Freen picked up a knife that had dropped when General Wo caught the guards and slit her own throat.
"FREEN!!!" Becky exclaimed
No tears dropped from her eyes. Becky's stare was tired and cold and resolute. She got up and walked over to Marlin.
"I wish the war against the British had never started." Becky said coldly
The missiles disappeared and the city began to settle as Wildens influence subsided with the introduction of the serum.
Marlin and Ravon subdued Wilden and by the time they looked up Becky had disappeared.
In the following days Billy and General Wo held a conference announcing the coronation of a new monarch but Becky was nowhere to be found.
Marlin knew where she was of course but didn't want to pry. He knew the depth of her continual grief.
Billy had began to clean up the rest of Khun Sa's supporters and his networks. He kept himself busy as he mourned Non. Heng was a big support for him. They were for each other a sliver of happiness having both been hit with immense grief. Heng had always been a cheerful chap but in the months that followed Freen's death his joy had been only a fraction of what it used to be and only with Billy. Heng was also determined to expand what he believed was Freen's legacy and her business and with Heidi's help, he did.
General Wo took a much needed retirement having existed as a clenched fist for the majority of his life it was a welcomed change of pace. He remarried an age appropriate sweet woman who he spent his days with.
Irin and Richie got married but Becky did not attend the wedding. Though they missed her they deeply understood her pain. In fact it was inspiration for their quick nuptials. Richie received commendations for his work during the crisis in Thailand and ranked up to lieutenant. He was General Billy's right hand man. Irin opened a coffee shop near to the city and when Richie had time he would come and help her run the shop.
Malaia and her son often visited Richie and the rest of his family. They were an extension of his tribe. He took care of them like they were his own family. To them he was uncle Richie. Richie would often tell stories to Chen's son about their mischievous antics in their adolescence and childhood to keep Chens memory alive.
Becky's Ma missed her deeply but had a peace about her safety, more so than anyone else. Becky's great aunt and other family were a great support at that time.
Baitoey moved to the states to expand roots. Before leaving, she was instrumental in helping Irin get her coffee shop off the ground. Within 6 months Toey was already in Forbes as a known business revolutionary. She named the daughter company, a sweets and treats company, Becky's Delight.
Noey and Nam remained steadfast in their dedication to find Becky. They considered her family now. They searched the surrounding countries and even went to the other side of the world in search of her. Nam put her acting career on hold for this mission and Noey handed over his responsibilities to Sulux.
Marlin and Ravon imprisoned Wilden in the genie dimension in the caves Marlin resided in during the first genie-human war. They began to rebuild their kingdom and Marlin took up his responsibilities with vigour and loyalty.
Months had passed and a new government was formed with a promising new and pioneering young woman. The country had been without its monarch but the country began to run normally. It was almost as though they did not need one.
On the heel of this, after a year had passed, Becky returned.
