« King of Lumeria, she said, I, Maya, came to see you in order to stop the war.
- And what makes you think you can, silly demon ?
- I know you, and I know your abilities. I am not here to defeat you. I am here to deal.
- Speak, I shall listen.
- I want something and you do as well. I know how we can both have it. I want to be queen, and you want to reign. Make me queen and you will govern.
- What do you offer, dear ?
- Make me powerful enough to defeat my sister, I will hand her to you. In exchange, I will make you able to govern on Shawuni.
In the corner of the room, Soma, a young general was listening. He had to stop it, but how could he ? He rushed to the prince's room, and told him what he learned. They both came back to the throne room, and waited.
- I can, your father may have told you what I am capable of, but what makes me sure you are not going to betray me ?
- I can assure you, your majesty, that is not in my convenience.
- Fairly, I will grant you the power. But as soon as you'll have it, you'll owe me your sister.
- As you desire, my king. »
She bowed, and he came closer. He pulled her head up, and grab her right eye. In a gracious and vive movement he took it off. She screamed, but he soon calmed her.
« Do not worry child, I only take what it costs. You have now the power to defeat her. Go now. I will wait. As soon as she is here, consider the war over. »
Maya rushed back, followed by Soma and the prince, Ray. They knew what was going to happen, Lux was about to have what he wanted. They couldn't let it happen. They had to save the queen.
