Legendary Heroes (Mobile Legends Fanfic)

Chapter 33 | A choice that Betrays

The Abyss's thundering skies roared and screamed, the fragments of grounds scattering all around the ghoulish realm. Evil creatures lurking every inch of this part of the world, including the highest, respected, and powerful sinister beings that is planning to dominate the rest of the realms, but one realm that they still cannot figure to take over is the Land of Dawn. This realm has Guardians to protect its land and beings, they have the greatest responsibility in the world. So does the dark beings that dwells in the Abyss.

The Queen of Doom's castle shook out of the Queen's anger, frustration, and because of the betrayal of her own guard that is supposed to protect her. "Do you even realize what you just have done?" Vexana said bitterly, glancing at the man whom just betrayed her. Moskov rolled his eyes, crossing his arms. "I'm a traitor, obviously. Got a problem with that? I found out that when my quee-"
"She is not your queen!" Vexana suddenly screamed, interrupting Moskov's sentence. Her face showed immense anger and hatred towards him. Vexana's claws digging through the desk that she is standing behind, clenching her teeth. "She'll get her throne back, and when she does. I'll have the pleasure of killing you slowly." Moskov said, his voice cold and stern.

Vexana let out a wicked laugh, wrapping her exposed stomach with both of her skinny arms. "Are you sure about that? I'm certain that you saw your Queen's soul went inside Freya's body. With Freya's powers and hers combined, she's invincible, but she cannot enter the holy land, the Heavens. Because if she were to set a foot on that realm, your Queen will be instantly found out, and she'll be sent to hell. "Vexana grinned deviously, her body slithering towards Moskov. "Some things can change, you cannot predict what will happen in the future." Moskov stood up out of the couch, avoiding eye contact. "It is true that I cannot predict the future correctly, but is it not obvious to you? Another way of your Queen getting revealed is that If the other Gods and Goddesses finds out that Freya is gone, they will search for her, and once the time comes. Your beloved Queen that you still admire will suffer." Vexana said bitterly, her blank eyes dimly glowing. She unleashed a ghostly power, her Charmed Specter spell towards Moskov to pull him closer to her, tipping his chin with one of her hands. "I don't want to kill you, sincerely I don't. You're very gifted Moskov, a strong, unpredictable, and fearsome marksman. If I were to kill you right now-"
"You won't be able to kill me. If you're thinking that I'll just stand here and allow you to pierce through my chest. It will never happen." Moskov interrupted, his mood cold. He roughly pushed Vexana away from being too close. Vexana let out a chuckle, taking a step back away from Moskov. "I do have to admit, you're stronger than me. But you will have a serious consequence if you were to kill me. The powerful beings that resides in this realm will hunt you down for you have raised their already immense anger. They don't want another powerful being to get killed, since we're losing our numbers. You are one of us Moskov, do you want to betray the rest? Who will support you to achieve your revenge? That hegemony will be living for millenniums and your once clan will be forgotten forever." Vexana lifted one of her arms, appearing a grail of dusts on the palm of her hand, blowing it towards Moskov's direction. "We can help you. The Thornwolf are very strong, they'll be the perfect practice for us." Vexana grinned, seeing Moskov's hesitant expression on his face.

"All right. I'll be your tortured servant, for now." Moskov growled, glancing at Vexana's smiling face. "That's wonderful! I'm very glad to hear those words." Vexana walked over to him, suddenly grabbing his spear that he's holding. "For your betrayal. I forbid you to use your spears in one month, unless necessary."
  "I hoped that you'd punch my face or something as my punishment. Can you do that instead of this?" Moskov tried to grab his spear back, but Vexana made it disappear. "I would love to punch your face, but it will damage your handsome face." Vexana smirked, cupping one of Moskov's cheeks.

Moskov felt awkward, swatting Vexana's hand that was cupping his cheek. "Stop that, why are you showing me affection?" He asked, his voice stern. He backed away from Vexana, but it didn't stop her from cupping one of his cheeks again. "I do this because I'm bored. Besides, I do not want to neglect my people after all." Vexana smiled with warmth and kindness, which is very rare to see. She hadn't smiled like that for decades, she stopped to smile with a kind expression after she found out that her ex-husband cheated on her. But now she felt something she hadn't felt for a very long time.

"Are you possessed? I don't think you're the Vexana that I know." Moskov backed away from her, his emotions quite freaking out from the way Vexana is currently behaving. Vexana glanced at him, letting her lifted arm drop before raising her voice to say. "I am Vexana! Who do you think I am?"
  "A crazy lady trying to touch my cheek over and over again." Moskov answered, glancing back. "You ingrate. I'm very rare to act like this, and I thank you for that." Vexana said, her voice bitter to sweet. Moskov raised an eyebrow, crossing his arm to look intimidating. "So?"
  "Because I haven't felt like this for decades, you imbecile!" Vexana hissed the last word of her sentence, still glancing at Moskov. "Can you stop being obnoxious? Your awful attitude is-" Before Vexana could continue her sentence. The room's doors suddenly opened to reveal a figure of a dark angel, her eyes revealing vexation. "Hello, Vexana." It was the stern and cold voice of the previous Queen of Doom whom took over the Goddess of War's body. "What an unpleasant surprise! You want your revenge, don't you? After all, I did betray you, and the others didn't even wanted to make me suffer. I can't tell how much hate you have for me." Vexana giggled, her kind act now gone.

The previous Queen of Doom let out a laugh, then glanced coldly at Vexana. "I missed my dear, beloved Moskov. You tortured him by making him be your servant, you're ruthless, I like that side of yours. But I now need his help." The previous Queen of Doom looked at Moskov, whom was kneeling down before her presence. "Moskov, please join me to kill this woman that stole my rightful rule of this part of the realm. I will give you your most desired wish." The previous Queen of Doom lifted one of her hands towards Moskov, her eyes pleading desperately for his help. "Moskov. Dare to betray me again. I had to kill this foolish queen for her plans were reckless and stupid. Be with me and I will grant you everything you want, be it the death of your most hated enemy." Vexana made Moskov stood up, holding both of his cold hands. Her eyes were showing a strange emotion, she sincerely doesn't want him to leave her.

Moskov was stuck, could not decide which one to follow. He was afraid that he might chose the wrong path once again, will he be able to make the right choice?
