"A phoenix?" one of the members asked. "Yes, aren't you seeing clearly?" the other one replied.
"Your majesty, this is a bizarre situation, shall we kill her?" One of them asked.
The king shot him a hard glare, how dare he dictate what he should do?. He hasn't gotten over the fact that he poisoned his son, now he was going to kill the wife, that was not going to happen.
"Your majesty, she is going to destroy this place" Another one said, he still wished to live, he wasn't ready to die.
"Kill her!!!" one of them yelled then everybody started ranting "Kill her, kill her".
"The king just passed an order, if he hears any hub-bub, you would all join your ancestors" the guard yelled but he wasn't heard because of all the noises.
"Oh really, you killed my husband, now you think it's time for me to go?" I asked no one in particular.
I threw a blue potion and everywhere was covered with blue smoke. I arched my arrow as I aimed at the man that asked them to kill me.
I aimed at his forehead and in the next second, his head was off and burnt to ash.
"What just happened?" they kept asking each other.
They kept throwing fire at me and I laughed at their foolishness. "Fools, phoenix doesn't die through fire" I mummured. They thought they burnt me but they were shocked when I rose up from the ashes.
"Your majesty, she rose again?" they asked the king who did not reply them.
Before they could shoot me with the colt, I threw a stick of dynamite and the whole place exploded.
I teleported to Nathan's house with Zach Rayna and Allenda, those are the people that I avoid killing when I was fighting with rage.
"Is the castle destroyed?" Allenda asked and I shook my head, I didn't plan on doing that, I just wanted to kill all those people that said Nathan should die.
"Rose, are you okay?" Zach asked carefully, my irises wasn't back to normal and my cloth hasn't changed. I ignored him as I went to Nathan, I started sobbing seeing him like that, I was the main cause of his death, I shouldn't have insisted that he should help me.
"The silver line has reached his heart, what should we do?" Zach asked, his face was red from crying a lot, seeing his best friend in this condition. He placed his finger on Nathan's nose to check if he was breathing but he was disappointed.
"He is no longer breathing again" Zach said, his best friend is dead, he is dead.
I gently placed my hands on his cheek as I cried on him. "You promised you are coming back for me, don't you break your promise" I said.
...
Nathan was in a dark place, he was squirming on the ground, the pain was just too much for him, he tried to open his eyes but he couldn't.
His eyes jerked open and he could see light, he stretched his hands to it, it was so far away from him, the more he tried the more he failed. He wished he could just die, he wanted this miserable pain to end. He felt someone touching him, he wished to react to the touch but he couldn't. He kept struggling but he couldn't react, seems like his wishes never came true. He just wanted to give up was when he saw her, in that dark place, she was glowing with light.
"You promised to come back for me, didn't you?" Rose asked him.
"I can't, it's too painful" he complained as he cried.
"Won't you come back for me?, you asked me to wait right?, I would wait for you, please come back" Rose kept begging him.
"I can't, I can't," he kept saying as he squirmed on the ground.
"Try to come closer, you can, just try" Rose said. Nathan tried crawling but she was too far, he kept falling on the ground even if he tried to stand.
He tried rolling to her, enduring all the pain and finally he was able to reach her, she kept his hands on his cheek as her tears landed on him, she gently kissed his forehead and....
"Look, the silver line is going back, look" Allenda screamed as she tapped Zach. Zach eyes widened, nobody has ever tried to wake the dead before, not even their powerful demon fruit has succeeded in waking the dead. If the demon was killed by the king, he was dead forever. If he did not die by luck, some of his memory would be erased.
The tears of the phoenix succeeded in raising the dead. Zach just wondered if Nathan would remember anything once he woke up.
I had turned back to normal so that he could see the real me, his eyes were opening slowly and I could see the silver line completely gone. I patiently waited for him to wake up.
"Nathan, Nathan" I called him when his eyes completely opened. He looked around until his eyes landed on Zach.
"Zach, what am I doing here, aren't we going to deal with the demons?" he asked Zach as he sat up. Zach eyes widened, was that what his memory recalled?, that was when they did evil deeds together, doesn't he remembered that he had stopped all that and moved on by marrying rose?.
"Nathan are you okay, what are you talking about?" I asked him as I touched his face. He slapped my hands away from his face.
"Who is she?" he asked Allenda and she widened her eyes.
"What is she doing in my house?" he asked Zach.
"Don't you know her?" Zach asked him instead, this means that his memory was erased, why did the king do that?, does he want Nathan to forget his wife?.
Nathan tilted his head to the side as he looked at me. "No I don't" he said as he stood up.
"Nathan wait" I said as I held his arms.
"Don't you know me, don't you remember Rose?" I asked him hoping that he would remember anything.
"I don't know her" he said as he yanked his arms away from me, he pulled Zach and they went outside together.
"I am sorry Rose, the poison that father had strucked him with lightning has erased some of his memory, he doesn't remember anything that happened between you and him" Allenda explained and I couldn't help but cry hard, does this mean that he doesn't remember I am his wife?.
"What are you going to do about Rayna?" Allenda asked me, I went over to Rayna and when my tears landed on her she woke up. she looked around to check if she was still dead, but it dawned on her that she was alive and healed.
"My lady, My lady" she said happily as she hugged me, I hugged her back as I cried.
"Stop crying my lady" she said as she patted my back. 'Rayna did not lose her memory, what happened to Nathan?' I asked myself but I remembered, Rayna was stabbed and Nathan was strucked with poison.
