Sky's POV
I don't know why Alexander is still bringing me around him right now. For what I know, he don't need me anymore. They have a bigger problem than me not going home.
They knew about the Princess? Since when?
"The Heir is here." I heard Arnold announce. The demons stood still and faced him. I am with him, we are standing in the corner while Cira and the others are standing at the center being surrounded by all of them.
All eyes are on Alexander who didn't do anything but to glare at Arnold who is smirking and standing calmly as if he knew he is winning.
"So you're the snake of the palace." Alexander said with certainty. He smirked sarcastically while Arnold started laughing.
"How come you not be aware of it my dear nephew." he smiled at him and looked at him with pity in his eyes. "Your plan is stupid you know." he started laughing again.
I can feel the tension, I can feel Alexander's anger towards him.
"Replacing the Princess with someone outside Armania? Do you not know that I am there when that girl's mother brought the Princess back?" he asked. Now I am in the conversation.
"I didn't know you would tell them." Alexander replied angrily.
Yes I saw him in that dream. He glanced at my mom and was surprised seeing the Princess back after telling the King about the black smoke.
"I thought the Princess will never survive. I lost one strong ally after sending my men to earth to kill the King, the Queen and the Princess as well." he smiled creepily after saying that.
Then in other words, he killed my Mom too? He's the reason why my mom was murdered and made me an orphan for more than half of my existence.
"Why are you doing this?!" Asked Alexander.
"My brother always have all the spotlights.. I just felt a little jealous so I decided to make a plan to exterminate them all." He said sounding so proud about killing his own brother.
What does he want? The throne? But why do he have to kill the King and Queen who went outside Armania?
Is it because he's afraid of the gifts from the Gods that will be given to the Princess after being crowned? Is that why he was so eager to kill them all? He didn't succeed in killing the Heir so he let her live inside the palace and watch on her while she grow up.
If he's really afraid of the Princess' coronation why didn't he just kill her at the first place?
He knew about the Princess hiding inside the palace, so that means my going here is useless?
"I took the Core to release the black smoke and kill your father."
I feel like electricity just went through my veins. My eyes went to Alexander immediately.
"Ang your father's death is the reason for the death of your mother leaving my little nephew lonely for the remaining years of his life," he said acting like he pitied Alexander for it again. Then he smiled creepily that making me step back. "But don't worry my dear nephew. I'll end your burden now, just like what I did to your dear parents"
"ARNOLD!!" I heard Alexander shout. I saw how Alexander's sword lit up and I saw him running to Arnold who did nothing but laugh at him.
Demons started attacking him and made it harder to get to Arnold.
I can feel his anger right now. He slashed everybody on his way. His sword turned white and I can see a vein-like structure at the end of it. He is very angry right now and I am afraid that he might lose control.
White slashes filled my eyes. I can't take my eyes away from him. I feel very worried that something might happen to him.
We are all victims of Arnold but he is the one who is the most affected. It's hard for me but it's harder for him. Arnold killed his parents because of jealousy and fooled him for years.
No one can even touch him right now. He slashes everywhere to the point that none ends up coming closer without dying.
He's strong.
My eyes went off Alexander when I saw the demons coming to Cira, Amaya, Cole, and Blaze.
They don't have swords like Alexander.
Blaze threw fireballs at the demons and after distracting them with it, he disappeared and when he came back, his arms became his own sword. The sword-like structure that I couldn't tell appeared from his arms and slashed two demons who are about to attack him.
He moves like Alexander, using his teleportation as his advantage over his enemies.
Amaya and Cole are working together. I saw how Cole hit 5 demons together with boulders and when Amaya touched the ground, roots appeared and crawled to the frozen demons and crushed them.
It happened so quickly. Even with such a technique, they managed to kill them in a short period of time.
Then I saw Cira. Unlike her usual self, she's jumping high up in the air throwing beams that slash the demons. She is almost flying. She doesn't have anything with her, she's just using her hands but she killed most of them.
I can't believe I am here watching them fight. They are all good, they have their own ability and are able to fight for themselves. My eyes went back to Alexander again. There he is again. Unlike Blaze, he disappears often, and when he comes back two or three are killed. The demons are the way too many for him to come to Arnold.
I can sense the anger in every move. I know he's exhausted. I can see how he catches his breath but he's too eager to kill Arnold.
I don't know what to do. I am just standing here in the dark watching them all fight in their own way. All have the will to fight and someone who is eager to avenge.
I can never do something for them during this time. My job is done here. All I need to do is to stay put and watch how this ends.
"ALEXANDER!! HURRY!! HAHAHHA!!" even when Alexander is coming near, he still has the guts to tease him. It made Alexander angrier. He kept shouting Arnold's name while slashing the demons. This ain't good.
I looked at Cira and the others. They are standing right next to each other blocking the way to the Princess's room on the underground floor. It's their job not to let them pass. They need the princess' gift and the core to exterminate the demons.
They are tired but they kept on fighting. Everybody is fighting. Demons have swords that they use to fight with Cira, Cole, Amaya, and Blaze. They are all wounded. I am not certain if it's a serious wound but by looking at them, I think they don't care about it if it's serious or not.
"Arnold." I heard Alexander call him faintly. He is facing the ground, his sword is down and there's no demon around him anymore. He is catching his breath in the meantime. He's tired but he's angry. "ARNOLD!!" He shouted his name again and ran towards Arnold. He is a few meters away but he disappeared.
I held my breath.
He appeared right behind Arnold and Tried to slash him but he dodged it. My eyes widened. Arnold seems so calm and I am not feeling good about it. Alexander disappeared again and when he reappeared, he slashed Arnold but he dodged it again! The old man is good at fighting and seems like he can read Alexander's moves!
Alexander reappeared after disappearing after that slash and faced Arnold. He drew his sword. I saw Arnold smirk and run toward him.
I feel like I am watching an action movie but it's real life. They all ran to each other and draw their swords to each other. Alexander was able to block Arnold's staff and then he disappeared. He reappeared behind Arnold again. Arnold tried to hit him with his staff but it was too late. Alexander disappeared and reappeared in front of Arnold. Before Arnold could see him, he slashed him right away. He disappeared and appeared meters away from him.
Arnold spits blood after that. He was sliced in his chest. It was bleeding but he didn't care and attacked Alexander again.
Alexander is using his ability wisely. He disappeared again and tried to appear and slash him but he failed.
"You sliced me once and you can never do it again, Alexander," he said.
It happened so fast. Arnold ran towards Alexander and in a split second, he was behind Alexander. Alexander seems not to notice it. Arnold hit him on the back.
I saw how painful it is when Alexander fell on the floor. He dropped his sword and spitting blood too.
That's when I thought of something to do. I really want to help him but I couldn't do anything. I will be a burden if I join the fight.
They are all fighting aside from me. What the hell is my use here? I couldn't do anything but hide.
Cira and the others are still blocking the way to the princess' room while Alexander is fighting with Arnold.
"You think you could beat me? You're weak Alexander." Arnold teased Alexander while fighting. I know what he's doing. He's pissing Alexander off so he couldn't think right and just fight without thinking. Too much anger makes a person weak.
Alexander kept trying to slash him but he did nothing but dodge his attacks. Despite Arnold's age, he's strong and good at fighting. He is smirking while dodging Alexander's attack.
Alexander needs to calm down first. He was losing control of himself.
My eyes shifted to the others when I heard a loud thud from them. The demons are still attacking them. I saw Cole on the floor. My eyes widened. Amaya blocked everyone from him. I don't know what happened to him. He's hit and he lost consciousness. I wanted to check on him but I am afraid that I might just be a problem if I join in.
"Cole are you okay?" I saw Cira approach him and Blaze took Cira's place to fight the demons. Cole didn't respond. She tried shaking him but he didn't respond at all. From being worried to being scared.. that's what I felt when I looked at him. "Alexander!!" Cira called him.
Alexander looked at her. He saw Cole on the floor. He teleported and appeared right beside Cole.
"An ally was hurt?" I heard Arnold say. I looked at him. He got bruises from the fight but he seems not to care at all. So as Alexander is currently checking on Cole.
I don't know what happened. I heard a loud thud and then I saw him there. What actually happened?
"Alexander, the demons are adding up we need to get the princess." I heard Blaze say to Alexander while fighting.
They killed a lot of Demons but they keep on adding up. They are too many for the five of them to finish. Alexander went silent for a moment then he suddenly disappeared.
They fought the demons while he was away. When he came back, he was with the princess. I can see the shock on her face when she saw what is happening outside.
We need to retreat. We can't handle this anymore. We need to hide the Princess before going for Arnold. She needs to be hidden from the demons.
"The heir." Says Arnold while looking at the Princess. She didn't reply anything to him. Alexander held her arm and they disappeared, my eyes widened when they appeared in front of me. "Alexander you can't hide her!" Arnold shouted sounds like a warning.
Alexander took my hand and we teleported. We appeared outside the palace gates. "What is this?" I asked him right away. He looked me in the eyes.
"You need to hide the princess," he told me. "I trust you," he added before disappearing.
