Sword fights, warriors shouting, horns being blown, creatures whining and crying of innocents can be heard outside the palace.The Queen Mother sat on her throne, listening to all chaos happening to her kingdom. A tear escape from her eyes as she felt her heart being crushed into tiny pieces, she is the Queen, she has the power and yet cannot do anything to protect her people.
She felt helpless, she felt weak but there is nothing she could do but wait.
Another loud crash is heard outside the palace. One mighty knight covered in blood all over his body walked hurriedly into the throne room with a worried look planted on his face, "Queen Mother, the barrier has been destroyed. I'm afraid they'll be here any moments now".
The Queen Mother nodded and give him a small smile, "Go child, It is now your time to go. Take them away from this place, away from these chaos, one day they are going to remember who they are and come back to protect what they have to", the knight stood give the Queen one last glance before running out of the throne room and away from Encantasia.
The Queen is now left alone in the throne room but not for too long.
"Queen Mother", a warrior sing evily as he enter the room with a sword on his left hand. His face and hands are covered in blood but his armour did not fail to protect his body from taking any major damage.
"Lucio", the Queen Mother stood up straight unalarmed, she's expecting for his arrival.
Lucio gave her a wicked smile then point the sword at her direction. "It is over Queen, Encantasia is now nothing", he spat making his way to where she's standing.
"It just started Lucio why end it so quickly", she smirk still standing still.
Lucio stopped on his track and his evil smile grew bigger. "You may have the gems but that won't be enough to stop me dear...... sister".
The Queen Mother try to stay look fearless even in the inside she knew she's hurting, that her heart is bleeding and crashing. She knew Lucio plan to kill her but little did he know she's already dying inside, her heart can't take everything that happen to her children, to her family, to her love once.
She hold back her tears from escaping her eyes and look at her brother giving no emotions at all. "Shall we begin, Maralina", Lucio said then without hesitating he charge his weapon at her but she quickly nudge it by her sword which magically appear on her hand.
Lucio try again but again failed to make his sword touch the Queen. It is now the Queen's turn to charge at Lucio and with such ease she made Lucio's right arm bleed.
Lucio hold his injured arm and now he can feel his anger inside him grow then suddenly darkness started surrounding him. She look at him with wide eyes "The dark gem, but how?", she whispered.
Lucio laugh evily, "Do you really think you can destroy me, Queen Mother?", he started walking towards her.
"You don't know what the dark gem can do to you Lucio", she shouted as she took several step back.
"No sister, I know what it can do to me. It gives me power and it can make me more powerful than anybody else, it can make me more powerful than... you", he said with a very deep voice as his eyes grew darker.
She shake her head, "No... no Lucio it will destroy you, listen to me-", she shouted but was cut off when Lucio lifted his hand which made her body flew and hit the wall very hard.
Lucio gave her his evil smile and said, "With all of the gems in my hands, I will be the most powerful of all", he laugh evily.
"You... w-will never.. f-find the g-gems", she said gasping for air.
Lucio look at her "What do you mean?". She smile and laugh ignoring the blood flowing from her lips, "I may not be the one who can stop you but when the time comes, they will come for you.... brother", and with that she took her last breath before stabbing her sword into her own heart.
