Our Only Hope

The Fall of the Ashronians

"Guivera take Berdos and find my husband...NOW" Amelia yelled with anger seething through her voice. "What about you my lady?" Berdos asked with worry.

"I'm ending this my children will not live without me and they will not live separately not if I can help it!" Amelia exclaimed right before using her ice to boost herself up to what she could only assume was where the leader was hiding. She appearing on the top of a cliff surrounded by boulders and large bushes and trees.

"SHOW YOURSELF YOU COWARD!!!" Amelia yelled as she shot her ice crystals to several Axellions that were headed her way. Her ice Crystal's though not very big were able to pierce each Axellion through the heart and every other vital organ in their body. One of the Axellion who tried to fight her 1 on 1 fell almost immediately after and asked, "how...how are u able to take on all of us at the same time?" Amelia then replied in a mocking tone, " it's really not that difficult you never even stood a chance."

But before the Axellion soldier died he looked up at Amelia with a creepy grin and replied, "we'll see about that...your highness." After those haunting words, Amelia looked around and hundreds of Axellion soldiers appeared out of the blue as if they were teleporting from thin air.

Amelia struggled to fight off the Axellions but was holding her ground as best she could. At least until one of them appeared with glowing red eyes. Amelia suddenly stopped fighting as started to get lifted off the ground no longer having any voluntary movements in her body she realized that she could no longer use her power either. "UGH...PUT ME DOWN NOW...I WON'T LET YOU DO THIS!!!" She yelled hoping she could somehow find a way out of the situation that she was currently in.

"Now now Amelia you don't have to worry we are not after you.?" The man with pure white hair and Red eyes said in a calm yet mocking demeanor. "Isn't it obvious by now your highness we're after the children of prophecy?" He said with a sadistic smile.

"H..how do you know about them?" Amelia asked as she slowly started to feel her powers coming back. "I get it now there is a time limit to his powers." Amelia thought to herself before being brought back to the cruel reality. "Oh darling your people aren't the only ones with a witch on your side, and something tells me that my witch is stronger than yours!" he chuckled.

" I mean it's ridiculous she wasn't even able to sense we were coming or that my men are already heading to those adorable children of yours as we speak." He stated with confidence.

Amelia now shaking as she began fearing the worse had her adrenaline-boosting as she struggled to get out of the strange man's grip but it wasn't just her adrenaline it was something deep within her begging to be let out.

"Please you can't do this there are children... families here. Why would you kill all of my people just for 2 babies?" After receiving no response she continued to plead. "please I'm begging you don't take them away from me they are innocent." "AHH, WHY ARE YOU DOING THIS TO US!!!" She yelled once again feeling the power inside her awakening.

"Simple." the mystery man continued, as he cupped her jaw into his hand "Because we want power."
And just like that Amelia could no longer hold back her power it all came rushing out like a waterfall. Everything in her proximity was blasted away from her including the mysterious man. This allowed Amelia to finally be free of his grasp, there was just one problem she couldn't stop her power as hard as she tried it wouldn't stop rushing out.

Her ice Crystals were destroying everything in their path, but these weren't her usual Crystal's these were the size of small boulders. As two were headed to the mystery man's path seconds before he shared the same fate of the rest of his soldiers a red barrier appear and shuddered the Crystal's into nothing but dust.

Amelia looked around and realized that everyone around her was either dead or unconscious except of course the mystery man who was watching her every move in amusement. "No...I.. won't...let...you...take ...over you hear me...I WON'T!!!" Amelia exclaimed as she desperately tried to get a hold of her power. Right as she started to get a hold of her power she suddenly felt a tremendous pain throughout her entire chest, she looked down and saw blood lots and lots of blood.

And in that instance her power diminished until all that was left was her ice. "huff... huff" Amelia desperately trying to crawl away as she started to cough violently. Looking down at her hand her eyes opened with shock as she realized she had just coughed up blood. "Oh no that can't be good...this can't be I will see my children one last time." but before she could say anything else afoot clashed with her back causing her chest to slam into the floor.

"AHHHHH" Amelia yelled in pure agony. "Oh I am soo sorry your highness did that hurt?" The mystery man exclaimed mockingly as he dug his foot in her back where the hole through her chest first began. Amelia now unconscious finally stopped her screaming. "hmm...I thought she would've lasted a bit longer." The mystery man pouted childishly.

Deciding she was no longer any fun the mystery man grabbed her by her throat hanging her limp body from the edge of the cliff. "Well, I guess I'll just put you out of your misery." He stated with boredom in his voice. As the mystery man tossed her over the edge a huge gust of wind appeared out of nowhere.

The man with red eyes and white hair looked down and noticing that queen Amelia had no yet hit the ground. But was being held bridal style by her husband King James. "I was wondering when you'd join the fun...King James...or should I call you  baby brother." The man with white hair exclaimed mockingly.

James POV...

"Amelia love wakes up," James stated with worry. After a couple of seconds he realized that she was out cold he handed her over to Berdos and told him to look after her. As soon as Berdos was out of sight James looked up and stared into red eyes with nothing but pure venom in his own

"Oh?" The mystery man said amusingly. Before he could begin to process what had just occurred he saw nothing but a flash of green before being flung back hitting the ground with such force that it caused a crater to show. "HAHAHA whew you want to play too I see, though I must warn you it didn't end well for your wife." he once again mocked the mighty king.

"You will pay for all the pain you and your minions have caused today do you hear me!" James exclaimed with anger. "Ah I see, well you know what's funny, that's exactly what Amelia said right before I knocked her down." The mystery man exclaimed as he ran straight for James with the same blast that created a hole through Amelia's chest.

James dodging it with ease lifted his hands up causing the ground to shake. "What the?!?... oh I get it, your mad arent you. Well give it your best shot "Baby Brother." he chuckled as he prepared to fight the legendary king of Ashron.

"I...will never be your baby brother again not after everything you've done!" King James explained with hatred in his voice. "Aww that hurts what would mom say to us fighting each other like this." the red-eyed man once again chuckled.

Suddenly his eyes started to widen with shock as he realized what James was doing. Right above his head for what looked like a million pieces of metal started to form into miniature spears all pointing at the man with silver hair and red eyes. "This is for mom, dad, and everyone else you killed today and this is for you Amelia, I'm soo sorry I wasn't there for you when you needed me but from now on I will be I promise," he stated as a tear started to appear.

He then unleashed all of the spears he created using the last of his energy due to the fact that he had been fighting as many axellions as he could before he saw Amelia falling to her death. Every spear hit the mystery man with such intense force that the only thing that could be seen was blood in the air. King James mistakenly thinking he won came closer to his enemy.

"No...I will...not...die...just yet ...DO YOU HEAR ME!!!" The man exclaimed as he started to pulse and glow a deep red almost the same shade of blood. "If I go down YOUR ALL COMING DOWN WITH ME!!! He desperately exclaimed. "Are you mad you'll destroy the whole planet!" James explained trying to talk some sense into his elder brother. Once he realized that this was his plan all along he rushed to Amelia and his children as fast as he could before it was too late.

On his way to the palace, he saw nothing but a pile of his people lifeless. "I'm sorry I was your king and I failed you...please forgive me!" he exclaimed as he thought to himself, "Is this the end of the great Ashronian race?"
