Tierra: The Downfall [Book Two]

Chapter XII//Epilogue

A week had passed since Soran was defeated and a grand celebration was held, which only continued more after the coronation of Queen Rena finally happened.

"I promise to lead this kingdom, day and night, by Sun and Moon. To protect this kingdom with my life, even to the point of laying it down for my people. My life will be dedicated to Tierra, to survive and protect, to follow Sun and Moon. I will listen to the voice of the people and change what needs be to make this kingdom stronger. This, I promise."  

The crown made it to Rena's head this time and she was officially the queen of Tierra. Her first act as queen was to knight Kaiden and Serena. Pacific was still to young but she got a medal any ways.

Weeks passed now and Rena was looking through some stuff Soran had brought over. She found a large book that looked like it was centuries old. She gingerly took it to her desk and started reading. Each page held different prophecies and to what world they belong too.

She got to one that told about Kaiden and Serena coming to Tierra and what they were. There was more, a prophecy about the Shadow War was there too. She turned a page to find one that hadn't happen yet. 

When Moon turn red,

And the fire goes seeking for the witch,

The fire shall be changed,

And can only become what it once was,

When it gives itself to Earth,

Before Moon turns blue.

Rena didn't understand the new prophecy and was left to wonder if it would happen soon, or if it did happen already.

Sazhor looked at his book. He missed Rena deeply and could only watch now. Soran had 'killed' him but it he only appeared in a different world.

He looked at the giant orb in front of him. He could keep watch over Rena this way and only do little things. He had caused the pull between Rena and the boy Kaiden. Sazhor knew he would never be with her, the stars said so.

Foot steps came from behind him and he turned around. Sola had just come in and taken a seat next to him. "Still watching that girl?" Her raspy voice asked.

"I just want to make sure she's happy." Sazhor replied.

Sola shook her head. "That girl will be fine. I've seen so. But the time is coming quickly. The fire prophecy is almost at hand."

"Already?" Sazhor asked. "But the last one just ended!"

Sola hit him on the head. "I save your sorry butt and you complain about what has been told! I should have left you to die."

"I'm sorry, okay?" Sazhor sighed. "I think it's just too soon."

"The blood moon will be soon in Tierra." Sola said. "I must take my leave if it is to happen."

"Wait...you're the witch?" Sazhor asked.

Sola nodded. "Yes, I'm from Tierra too you know. Well, just past the kingdom's boarder. Dragon Lady is what they call me since I spend so much time with those dragons."

"You're the Dragon Lady? Why could I never find you?" 

Sola glared at him. "I'm only found when I want to be. And I had no reason to speak to you."

Sazhor nodded, accepting her answer. "When do you leave?"

"The night before. I must get things set up for her journey."

"So it's a her?" Sazhor looked at the orb, wondering who the 'her' was.

Sola nodded. "Yes."

Sazhor continued to think about who it could be. It could be any girl in Tierra, but he knew it wasn't Rena. Her destiny was sealed now. 

He looked at Sola. "What happened to Soran?"

"The council decided to send him to your old world now that he's powerless, as a wolf. It seemed fitting for him." Sola explained.

Sazhor nodded. "A  magic-less world."

"We put him in a zoo." Sola added and Sazhor laughed.

"A nice prison for him." He said as he laughed.
