Iris


She was so close, yet so far. I could engulf her in a hug that would replace all of the heartfelt moments in the world, I'd apologize and kiss her forehead over and over, my tears would be never ending if I held her in my arm's again.

But I knew I couldn't see her, not know atleast. If she saw me now, while in the midst of battle, I know my own daughter and she'd surely break down in tears. She wouldn't be able to contain her feelings.

She's brave, she has a big heart, but her emotions aren't stable and I'd she were to see me alive after all this time, she'd be so angry with me, so saddened and also happy at the same time. My brave little sage.

"Susong," I whispered and my body started to float up in the air into golden petals, soon disappearing and reappearing on a ship.

Zarkons' ship.

I'm not afraid of him, I'm not!

I'm just. . .scared of what I might see.

I made my way towards the throne room, no guards in sight however, which worried me but nonetheless I was thankful.

"Zarkon. . .what did you turn yourself into?" I muttered, my hands brushing against the arm's of the dark throne.

Sitting down on it, I remembered a song that I'd sing to Jinx and Lotor as a lullaby before they went to sleep.

I heard footsteps coming my way and knew who it was, so I didn't try to run, I wasn't scared.

"Hello Zarkon," I smiled and he stopped, staring at me.

"Who are you?! You have the audacity to sit on my throne-?!"

"And you have the nerve to speak to your wife like this?!" I shouted back, standing up.

He only stood there and I started towards him, but he took a few steps back as his breathing became hoarse.

"Hello, my love," I gave a close eyed smile.

"Y-you're dead. . .I killed you," He breathed out and I moved my hand up towards his face, but he grabbed it roughly and squeezed, breaking my pinky and I hissed, but didn't let the pain faze me.

Moving my other hand up, I touched the armor that he wore as if it was his own skin and looked up into his eyes that most feared, but I only recognized them as the eyes of my husband.

"You promised me that you wouldn't force our children to do what you wanted, Zarkon. Why didn't you listen to me?" I asked.

"They are simply my pawns. . .they are not my children. . .disgraces is what they ar-"

My eyes flashed a dangerous snake like yellow, I removed my hand and felt a pang in my heart.

"I loved you so much Zarkon, but now you've given me no choice. Lotor was not my child, he was pure evil, just like you are now. My sage is no pawn, she may have been fooled back then but now she has the one thing you tried to steal from her: love. She's surrounded by it and getting stronger by the day, I tried to reason with you, but I guess there's no reasoning with evil. I hope-no, she will defeat you, and I will be there to watch it," I had never really been so brave around him but he called my sage a pawn, that made my snap.

"Agh!"

I screamed as an electric shock came my way, stricking my body and I fell to my knees in pain.

"Dispose of her Coral."

"My pleasure, my lord."

Coral!

"Rookie magicks, I should've known," I chuckled, staggering to stay up.

"Excuse me?! DIE!"

She yelled, clearly offended and I smirked, watching the green lightning make its way towards me.

"Neo him-eul billyeo jwo!" I shouted and I vanished, she looked around in confusion.

"I cannot wait to have the pleasure of murdering your daughte-! Gah!" I grasped her neck and squeezed, she gasped out for air.

"No one threatens my sage and gets away with it."

I snapped her neck and she fell to the ground, limp and Zarkon stayed emotionless but I knew that behind those eyes he was shocked.

"That was only a warning Zarkon. . .but I know Jinx will have no issues defeating you with the true Black Paladin, her fiancé, Shiro."
