The broken queen

"Aaron..."

Aaron's eyes were red, he was weeping and blood covered his body. She was terrified but her hands held the temple's oil and her sword in her hand. She had no other ingredients, Aaron was not going to let her leave alive. She was at her wit's end.

"I do not wish to fight you, Aaron, we can drop our..."

Aaron screamed and raised his sword in the attack. Shock took Irisa back, she raised her sword to defend herself but there was no stopping Aaron. He started with a sort of assault and attack, Irisa tried as much as she could to defend herself against Aaron.

"Aaron! What are you doing?!" she screeched. Aaron wept as he continued fighting her. Attacking her with so much force. Pregnant and weak, she tried to get through to him, to stop him but there was no stopping Aaron.

"Aaron! I am pregnant with your child! You will kill us both if you continue down this path! Aaron! Please!" Irisa screamed at him.

He was not hearing, tears were still falling down his eyes, he slammed his sword and slammed his fist into her face. Her face recoiled, she was shaking, weak.

He slammed the sword against her but she wielded her sword to protect herself. Her head was aching and spinning, she was shivering but she was not giving up.

"Aaron! Please..." Irisa pleaded. She remembered what Aaron's mother told her in the last vision she had. "If he cannot be stopped, he must be stopped!"

She did not know what it meant but she knew at that moment. Aaron was going to kill her if she did not kill him first. She screamed and with all her strength, pushed the sword into his stomach before he could attack her first.

His eyes widened, and his hands shook. Irisa did not want to do it but she had to. She pushed her sword harder, tears were falling from her eyes as he stared at her, blood spurting from his wound. She would not allow him to kill her or her child.

Their love had been doomed in the first place, it was always known. Blood sputtered from his mouth, he was coughing. Irisa took the oil with tears in her eyes, she pulled out the small sterilized knife, Nancy had handed her for protection, took his hand, and sliced it open, he groaned in pain but she continued.

She poured the oil from his hand and sliced her own hands. He was bleeding badly, barely able to move. She poured the oil on their hands too, she slammed her hands on his and started muttering everything the Princess told her.

Her eyes rolled back, and so did him, he was panting, but nothing could ever prepare him for what he saw.

"Hello?" Aaron looked around, he was in another place, another state, he suddenly remembered, he suddenly remembered everything.

"Aaron," Aaron turned to Cassio, "Father, how is..."

"It does not matter how you got in here! How dare you! How dare you destroy everything built?!" she screamed at him.

"I do not know what you speak Father!"

"You have invited destruction into the land you promised to protect! You have destroyed the future and the past! You have sided with the enemy and helped in the destruction of your people and your country! The ancestor cannot accept you if you do not rectify everything have done!"

"No Father! I did not mean for all of this to happen... Irisa!"

"Irisa will due because of you! You have sacrificed your wife and your heir for that witch from the old world, you have sacrificed your people for her, are you glad?!"

"I did no such thing, Father, I am as shocked as you are, please tell me how to fix it. Please..." Aaron pleaded with him.

"There is no fixing it Aaron, war is here, when the full moon rises, the bodies will be piled, the attack lies in the Palace and there will be no saving Kaley, there will be no saving Aaron, you are the enemy that the parable speaks of Aaron! You are the enemy!"
