"Ivi santre (kamatayan)" Ezekiel whispered into the air with lingering loath as he point Adhara's staff to his ashtis. Danaya is laying defenseless on the floor while Alena creates a barrier between them.

"Ezekiel, anong nangyayari?" Alena asked very concernly.

Ezekiel answered by charging energy bolts at them. Alena felt the intensity of the attack as she tried her very best to held off the immense power. 

"Pashnea!" Pirena shouted while charging her own bolts from her gem against Ezekiel which threw him off his feet.

"Ezekiel!" Amihan screamed in concern.

Before his ashti could do a follow up move, Ezekiel pick up the staff and charged mindlessly to Pirena. Amihan's protective instinct kicked in as she evictused in front of Ezekiel and countered the move with her gem. As she held of her son, she finally got a closer look of him.

His face reflects of anger for a reason Amihan cannot tell. But what caught her attention more is his usual topaz eyes, like his father, has turned to deep black. Because of this, Amihan concluded that she's not looking directly at her real son. There's something within him that's controlling him.

Amihan directed their fighting bolts somewhere far off the throne room so as to blast it somewhere far from the people.

"Amihan!" Ybrahim shouted as she rushed to her side. "Hayaan mo ng akong humarap kay Ezekiel." Suggested Ybrahim as he shielded his Queen from their son with his body once again.

Amihan took a glance of her son from the corner of Ybrahim's shoulder. Her eyebrows meeting in concern as she's weighing if she'll back off this fight or not. Before she could finally decide, she saw Ezekiel raising his staff once again. This time, against his own father. Amihan swayed Ybrahim away with one hand and the other charged against her own son. Her bolt hit Ezekiel's hand which threw off the staff in his hands. Amihan evictused in front of him as she once again awakened her immense power granted by Emre himself. She took a grasp of Ezekiel's neck.

"Tama na anak, tama na." Amihan pleaded in tears. Her voice cracking a little while her hand still in her sons neck. Her eyes glowing in white while she's in this powerful state.

And as she said it, black smokes  came out of Ezekiel's mouth. Ybrahim took familiarity of the scene. It was like just long ago when he stabbed Amihan during the last battle of Etheria.

As the last tinge of smoke finally came off Ezekiel, he fainted right in front of her mother. An evil laugh accompanied the now wandering dark smoke. It was no ordinary smoke, it's a spirit wandering trying to look for another body to dominate.

"Pashnea!" Amihan shouted as she charged against the smoke to drive it away. It slowly disintigrated into the air until it was seen no more.

The glow in Amihan's eyes finally faded, her eyes wandered off seeking for a certain someone. When they locked gaze, she smiled before finally giving in to her loosen grasp of her conciousness.

"Amihan!" She can hear him scream before it all went black.

-----------------------

Amihan saw herself in a place full of people. Everyone is so busy trying to struck a good deal off the market. Then she realised, she must be in Sapiro's marketplace.

The sun is shining like how bright it shines in summers day. She closed her eyes and felt the sweet air carresing her cheeks.

"Lavenders" she thought as she smelled the air.

When she opened her eyes, she saw a familiar figure right across the street. She smiled when she realised who that was. It's Lira in a traditional Sapirian look. Lira slowly took a step closer to her as she did the same. When she's just a little further away, her smile faded and was quickly eneveloped with confusion as she realised that she's not looking at her own daughter. Instead, she's looking at a man who closely resembles Lira. The man clearly does not recognised her but in a way that she cannot explain, her heart does. She can feel the longing, the love and the happiness her heart felt as the man's finally within grasp. She placed her right hand in his cheeks as the man grasp it in return. Her eyes is full of tears while his is full of questions like he's trying to comprehend who this lady is in front of her. Amihan closed her eyes as a new batch of tears fell from her gentle eyes. What is this so intense emotions she's feeling right now? She asked herself repeatedly. When she once again opened her eyes, the man slowly vanished into thin air until he's seen no more. Amihan's expression turned to confusion as she tried to look for any trace of the man. For a reason she can't tell, she felt intense longing for the man. Like, she'll flip the world back and forth just to see him again.
