Max's POV
In Max's house,
When we opened the door, we were shocked to see the King. His head was bleeding and he had many injuries. My mom rushed to call the doctor. But the King said her to treat him by herself.
"What happened?"
"The BLACK QUEEN attacked the palace. She tries to kill me and I said that Sherlyn will defeat her. She laughed and said that she is going to kill Sherlyn first, after that she will kill me. I escaped through the secret passage. Now Mora went to kill Sherlyn. Sherlyn is in trouble now"
"What? Where is she now? I need to protect her" I asked him in shock and rushed to take my shoes. he said me to calm down.
"She has powers she can protect her"
"What"
"Yes, The story is true. I have the power to control water. But I am very week. I can't use it now. But Sherlyn has the power to control fire. She can use it for a particular time, also she can transform into a half PHOENIX bird. I searched for a way to control her power. I found a way"
"What is it?"
"It's you"
"I can't shape-shift into any animal form."
"You can control air. it means you and Sherlyn can form a complete PHOENIX bird."
"What are you talking about. I am not from the King's family. How can I..."
"No, you are one of his family's members"
"What? How is it possible ?"
"Did you remember The King's daughter? After losing her power, she married a man from a small village. You are from her generation"
"Then who is Mora?"
The King became shocked when I asked this question. He sat silently for a few seconds. My mom cleaned his wounds.
"She is my cousin", both my mom and I looked at him in shock.
" My grandfather has a son and a daughter. They both have opposite powers. So, he thought it would be dangerous to grow both of them in the same place. His daughter has the power to control other's minds. He locked her secretly in a chamber. One day she escaped.
My grandfather searched her everywhere. but he couldn't find her. So, everyone thought that she is dead. But she married a man and lived peacefully. When my grandfather knows about it, he sent an army to kill her. But she escaped with her baby.
He never said it to anyone. But one day I read it in his diary. "
"Mora is that baby right?"
"Yes. She changed her appearance and lived with us. it's Arom."
"What? You mean Queen Arom"
"Yes"
"How did you didn't recognise her? She killed your wife."
"Her mother had given her power to Mora. She controlled my mind and tricked me with her power"
"Why she killed the Queen?. And now why she is attacking you and Sherlyn?"
"It's because she wants to take the crown from me. She wants to punish everyone in the Empire for what they did to her. I can't go back to the palace. I thought you are the only person that I can trust. So, I came here."
"When I came back, you looked at me like a stranger. Ten years ago you treated me like your son. I can't remember what I did in the past. I can't find the reason for your anger. Now, why are you trusting me? "
"Because I saw you outside the ceremony hall. I saw your love. You cried when you left the hall. But you smiled for Sherlyn. I trust you. I am sorry. I misunderstood you"
"....'
" When the Queen died I couldn't saw you. I thought you left the Queen to save your life. I thought you helped the Mora to kill The Queen. But today morning Mora said me the truth.
You sacrificed your life to save the Queen. You fought with Mora your whole power. But she is very power full. She tried to kill Sherlyn too. But you saved her. In that time she killed the Queen. You were angry and tried to attack her with your full power and flew with her and leave the palace as far as you can. But she tried to kill you by burning you under the ground but your father used his power to save you. She erased your memory about her. She came back to the palace and searched for Sherlyn. But you kept her in a safe place. I am so sorry for everything. You are the reason why Sherlyn is alive today."
"Where is Sherlyn now. I need to help her?"
"She is in the school. She can use her power for a few hours. If she overuses her power she will die. Go, and combine your power with her. She is very powerful than the black queen. You are the right partner for her."
In school,
" Mora"
"Finally you found me. Congratulations I am going to give you a gift", she attacked Sherlyn and pushed her to fall into the saferoom.
Sherlyn is falling. She is going to hit the floor in few seconds. She will be seriously injured or die. She can't do anything now. She is very tired. She didn't have any strength to attack her. She thought about many things while falling,
'her happiest moments with her mother and father'
'When she first met Maya and Jack'
'When she saw Max when he first entered her class'
'When she danced with Max'
'Their first kiss outside the ceremony hall'
'The Man who saved her from Mora when she was little'
She remembered many things. She saw her hair flowing in the air. Time is moving very slowly. Wait! The man who saves me and Max are the same. Max is the one who saved me that day. I never get a chance to thank him.
My body will reach the floor in few seconds. These are my last words,
" I love you, Max"
'3...2...'
Someone catcher me in the air and landed safely. I know who it is.
"Max"
