"Listen, boy, this is your last chance," the lady told Charlie, pointing the familiar-looking scepter at him. "I can't! I- I don't know how!" Charlie looked around, hoping to find a key, or anything to get him out of these chains. "Help!!" He called out in desperation. "Charlie?" Tabitha returned, seeming to be right behind the throne room's doors. "Tabitha! It's ME! Charlie? Help me!" he scrambled around, trying anything. "I'm coming!" She cried, and seconds later she burst through the door. "Don't you move a muscle," the woman said, taking her hood of the cloak off of her head. Tabitha gasped, "Se..Serenity..? But..But why?? After everything your 'kingdom' did for you! I thought you died!" The false queen chuckled darkly,
"You were incorrect, old friend."
Just before Serenity could destroy Tabitha, something peculiar happened. The helmet of a knight's armor stand rattled. Serenity whipped her head towards Charlie and eyed him down, "Do I need to command you the same?" "It wasn't me, I swear!" he cried. She turned back to Tabitha and grinned, "Shall we conti--" The armor rattled again, but not just the helmet, the whole body of armor. "OH COME ON," Serenity groaned and through her scepter at the armor. She sighed and looked back at Tabitha once more and waited for a moment. All was silent, so she continued.
"As I was saying--"
A vortex opened up in the middle of the great room, and the light objects from the room spun about. "What the- ABADDON!" Abaddon shortly arrived and clashed through the heavy doors onto the floor. "Yes, my liege?" he smiled. The smiled quickly dropped when he looked around the room. "What in God's name are you doing, Serenity??" The whole room went silent when they all realized that this was none of their own doing.
The vortex in the floor opened up, and Charlie recognized the figure appearing almost immediately. "Oh NO!" he groaned. "What??" Tabitha asked worriedly, giving him a short glance. "It's my sister!"
