Cazzlyn aimed the arrow straight into the king's heart. King Basil turned his head and met her gaze. A shiver went down her spine. She ignored it.
Scarvern, Rheton and Reylyn were talking besides her in hushed tones, but she could still hear them talking about the plans of how to get to the mountain of the keys. That's when it hit her. She didn't have to kill the king to avenge her family, she had to get the key. It would have a bigger impact on him. The key underneath the king's throne. Cazzlyn sat her bow down and sneaked up behind the king's throne. The king let out a sharp gasp. She turned to see Castilla, not in ghost form, human form, full skeletal form. She was holding a dagger to the king's throat.
Castilla nodded at her and mouthed "grab the key."
Cazzlyn nodded. She kneeled behind the king's throne and felt around for the key. She snagged it with her finger and brought it out. She grinned at her sister. Cazzlyn walked back to the rest of them, before the king screamed for his guards.
Rheton turned his head to meet her gaze. "You get the last key?"
She nodded. Cazzlyn's eyes never left his gaze.
A vines erupted from the center of the throne room. Forming a hill. She felt the butterfly key flutter against her palm. Cazzlyn let it go, it flew to one of the slots. She watched in amazement as the four keys landed in the slots, and twisted. Suddenly her eyes closed involuntarily,
Cazzlyn woke up groggy and her skin was bleeding. Her eyes adjusted to the scenery around her. Trees. Millions of trees. Dirt and soil littered her hands. Her bow rested to her side. Cazzlyn turned around. She was off the continent.
