The Dark Magoi Rose

Prologue

All the princess had seen was blood.

Darkness seeping into her cold heart.

Her crimson eyes darkened as the young woman sat on the large throne .
The sword dropping onto the marble floor.

Her hands covering her eyes as she wept.

Why?

Dear God, why take him?

She cried and cried as she buried her face to her knees.

"Princess... " the girl looked up and saw her friend standing by the door.

Her body covered in blood and her eyes dried of tears.

"Her Highness..." her whispers were soft.she couldn't speak a word.

Her eyes were floating around the throne room.

Blood was everywhere.

The room was now red and white.

Laying just inches away from the King's throne was the queen.

Her long dark hair blending with the blood pouring from her hair.

"I couldn't stop....I...I couldn't save him in time." She mumbled.

The girl walked towards her princess and held her hands.

Crouching to her knees and pressing them against her chest.

"You've avenged him. You've avenged the fallen. "

The girl looked to her Princess.

"No matter what you may do, her Highness. " the girl reached out to touch her face.

Wiping tears and splatters of blood.

Then she had dropped her knuckles onto the ground and lowered her head.

Like a humble servant or Knight.

" I will look after you. I will stay by your side until the day I die. Even in the afterlife, I will protect you then." She said.

The princess leaned forward and tilted the girl's face.

"O Nala." The princess stood onto her feet. " I don't want this to happen again. Not to anyone else - I want to carry on Jashiem's desire to protect father."

The girl smiled her assuring smile, and followed behind her princess.

"I also must carry out my mother's duties and protect the throne. Even when mother herself nearly destroyed this palace. "

The princess grabbed her mother's old black scarf and covered it around her mouth.

Her hands clenching into fists.

"I'll destroy any and everyone who dares to lay a hand on Valtiis. So by the dragon, I will. " The young princess vows. The young girl smiles under her dark veil as she watches her princess.

And now the girls walk into the arms of darkness.

And on this day, the innocent dragon had shed her skin like a serpent.

Seeking justice from the shadow. Just as an assassin should.
