Chereads / Esperia / Chapter 6 - The Defeat

Chapter 6 - The Defeat

Nama searched all day to find a solution. With no success. She had to fight. She had to protect her people.

She went out, decided to win this war. But only faced a desolated land, with nothing but dust and death. But far from her, she saw someone, a known figure rushing straight to her, the cause of that carnage : Maya.

She knew she could take her down, but could she hurt her sister ? Her beloved sister, the last thing who was left from her parents.

Maya went straight to her, looked down to Nama, she had changed. Her hair covered her right eye, and her look was dark.

« I have waited for this moment sister.

- What have you done Maya ?

- Only what I had to do to save my people. You weren't able to. You are weak.

- I am not, I don't want people to get hurt, why can't you understand ?

- Our people said you were a coward, that I should be queen.

- Let's settle this, you are talking nonsense. »

Without further talking, Maya charged her sister, pinning her down. Nama, shocked with that sudden strength, couldn't react. They fought when they were young. But Maya was always weaker. She tried to move, but felt a terrible pain in her chest, as if something was stabbing her.

That was what changed, Lux gave Maya the power to dethrone her sister, he gave her the power to kill demons. Maya had summoned a light spear and was stabbing her sister right into the heart. She got up. Looking at Nama with disgust.

« That's what happen when you refuse to face truth. You can't be queen. I do. »

She left back to Lumeria, leaving her sister to death. Ray rushed to Nama, praying for her not to be dead yet. If Maya was sacred queen, the demons were meant to die, as well as the humans. Nama wasn't moving anymore, he knew what he had to do. He ordered Soma to follow Maya, and he broke Nama's power locks. Her magic flew through the air, glowing and flowing through her. Her wound healed, but at what cost ? Nama was now unable to control her magic.

Maya came back with Lux, and gathered the demons around them. Her sister, now turned into a monster, was dangerous and unrecognizable.

« See ?! yelled Maya, that's your queen ! Is that what you want ? A monster ? Unable to control her powers ? Unable to protect you ? I can ! Choose me. I have ended a war. I can protect you all.

- That's right, if I am here, it's to settle the pact. » said Lux.

Ray wanted to talk, but what could he say ? Nobody would have trusted him.

Everyone was looking at Nama with disgust, she knew she wasn't wanted anymore.

« Here dear sister, you shall leave now. No one wants you. You are not needed in Shawuni anymore. » whispered Maya. Nama, cornered, fled to the Void, where no one could find or see her anymore.

Maya was proclaimed queen, and a new era began on Esperia.
