[Green Dragon Clan]
Marika now looked at the doctor who came from The Sun Kingdom.
'So you came to find me…Is it because you don't want to die in agony?'
"You bitch! You cure me right now!"
'Sorry, I can't do that.'
The man charged at Marika but she evaded his attack.
'Weren't you listening to me when I talked to Leo.' Marika sighed.
'Then I'll repeat myself, the six poisons I fed you are brand new and created by me. There is currently no antidote for them.' Marika smirked.
'But I do hold a special medicine, that can cure me of any to all poisons.'
"Give it to me!"
'Are you sure?'
"Yes! Now give it to me!"
'Alright suit yourself.'
Marika gave him the pill and saw him swallow it.
'Ohh I forgot to tell you, if anybody other them myself will take the pill they will die.'
The doctor looked horrified to Marika.
"You tricked me!"
'I did not…I said I had a medicine that could cure me of any to all poisons and I did confirmed with you if you were sure about it.' Marika shrugged her shoulders.
'Just be grateful you are getting the same death as your previous king and his 3rd daughter.
'As for what's going to happen, you'll fall asleep and then your whole body will shut down. You won't feel a thing.'
Marika then turned to the doctor of The Green Dragon Clan.
Well that leaves you as for the second last to go.
Marika called Richard.
'Could you please kill the man that I tortured in your dungeon,' she asked Richard, 'I'm done with him and I want this bastard to witness it.'
Richard then went to the dungeon and asked her, "How do you want him to die?"
'Since he was the one who dissected me a few times… just cut him open and let him die.'
Richard fallowed up on what Marika wanted and an agonizing scream was heard.
When Richard was done. "Are you home in time for dinner?"
'I think so.'
"Well take your time and make sure that that one suffers a lot."
'I will.'
She then started to call Cinis.
"Hey Mari! why are you calling?"
'It seems I'm calling just at the right time.'
Marika saw the man who almost killed her 11 times.
"I was just finished with him, so what can I do for you."
'Brother Cinis is that other doctor still in the dungeon?'
"He is, why?"
'I want you to kill him, I've changed my mind on giving him a chance.'
"And what about him?"
'He is the last to go.'
"But what do I tell my father?"
"It's fine."
Cillus came down to the dungeon to pick up Lenis.
"She already call King Lunam and asked him to kill the one in his dungeon, and it seems there is another dead one behind her and she is going to show other one behind her what is fate will be."
"Alright little sister, just give me a moment."
Cinis walked over to the cell and opened the door.
He said to the man "Well today is your last day in here."
"Am I going to be released?" The doctor asked him.
'Well…I don't think so. This will be your last moments of your life.'
The man saw Marika on the other end of the communication spell.
"Well at least I'm not the first one to die, but certainly not the last one."
'Do you have any last word before you depart?'
The man nodded, he had already accepted his faith.
"I'm really sorry for what I have done to you when you were just a child, I really regret it. I hope that I will remember this torture and pain in my next life so I won't repeat the same mistake."
'Canus give him one of your pills.'
'Since you sincerely apologize I'll grand you a painless death. I hope your next life will be a better one.'
The doctor took the pill "Thank you for your mercy princess Mari, and I hope you will finally get some peace of mind after all of this Queen Yumaria, vale"
'Vale.'
The man fell asleep and after 5 minutes Cinis confirmed he was dead.
'Thank you brother Cinis, uncle Cillus. I'll see you guys in a few days.'
"Take good care of yourself over there." Cillus said to Marika.
Marika then ended the call.
Marika turned to the doctor.
'Now that 3 of your friends are dead, it's your turn to die.'
'But I just wanted to know one thing, why the hell did you want to kill the little girl's father?'
The doctor started to laughed hysterically "What else…but to do fun experiments on her."
"She looks so much like you, she probably have the same ability as you."
Marika's eyes flared up in rage and her killing intend raised to the max in mere seconds.
She stabbed the man 'You monster!'
The stab wasn't a fatal one and she slashed him with her sword a few times
Vincent called to Luca and told him Marika was going ballistic, he opened a portal and Luca came through it.
'Just die and go to hell!'
Marika kept slashing him and stabbing him, ass the man laughed.
She swung her sword and cut his throat.
Luca grabbed her and told her to stop.
"Sis he is already dead!"
Marika pushed Luca off of her and kept stabbing him.
Luca called for Richard to come over and take the sedative with him.
Richard arrived and saw Marika was in a blinding rage.
He walked up to her and hugged her from behind.
"Sweetie he is already death." He said in a calm voice.
Marika tried to push Richard off of her but she couldn't
"Darling you need to calm down, just take a little nap."
After he spoke those words he pricked the needle in her neck and shot the sedative in her body.
Marika collapsed and fell asleep.
"Sleep well my love." And he gave her a kiss on the head.
Richard held Marika in his arms and asked "What happened?"
Vincent told him "She seemed fine until she asked him why he wanted to kill the father of a little girl."
"He said he did that because the little girl looked so much like her and wanted to do fun experiments on her because he thought the little girl would have the same ability as Queen Yumaria."
"And after hearing that she just snapped."
"I called for Luca but he couldn't calm her down, she just threw him off of her."
"I really can't blame her for being like this, She showed me what she went through…We all saw it."
"And she said she didn't blame us, for not knowing because he hid it from us."
Vincent gave Richard a recording stone.
"She asked me to record it because she wanted to show the last one how the others came to their end."
Richard took the stone from Vincent. "Thank you."
The rest of the clan told Richard to take Marika home and they would take care of what was left of the man's body.
Richard thank them and carried Marika back to the main house.
Lenis and Genus were already there and saw Richard walking in with a sleeping Marika in his arms covered in blood.
"What happened to her?" Genus asked.
Richard gave him the stone and told Luca to watch it with them.
Richard took Marika to their room and he started to clean her up. He changed her cloths and laid her on the bed.
Richard left the room and joined the others.
Before they started to discuss, Richard saw Alex, Rex, Ivy and little Marika.
Little Marika went up to Richard, 'Big brother were is big sister?'
Richard crouched down "Big sister is sleeping right now, because she isn't feeling well."
Little Marika looked sad 'But I wanted to show big sister my magic.'
Richard then asked "Can you show it to me too?"
Marika looked at Ivy and she nodded.
'What kind of flower do you like big brother?'
"I like blue roses."
Little Marika started to concentrated and created a rose for Richard and gave it to him.
"Thank you." And he smiled at her.
Richard then whispered something to little Marika and she nodded.
The little girl grabbed Ivy's hand and said "Big sister Ivy can you come with me and help me?"
Ivy fallowed little Marika to Marika's room.
Marika's father had seen what his daughter could do and was proud of her.
Lenis walked over to the man and introduced himself. He told him why he was here and what his ability was.
The man then asked "If she is the same as Richard and Marika does that mean she has to stay here?"
Luca then said, if she is, it would be for the better, but that doesn't mean you two will be separated from each other, since you're her father, human or not you also have the right to stay here."
"And I can say this for certain, that is something my sister would want you both to do."
Little Marika came back with Ivy. 'Big brother it's all done.'
"Thank you, when your sister wakes up she will be a lot calmer thanks to your gift."
Lenis saw the little girl and said "Hi I'm Lenis and I'm able to see a lot of things that others can't."
"Would you like to know what the color of your magic is?"
Little Marika nodded but then asked 'Is it going to hurt?'
Lenis smiled, "You won't feel a thing I promise."
'Oke.'
Lenis started to concentrate, "Your color is green and you form is that of a tree. I can also tell you that you are directly related to Luca, Alex and your big sister."
Alex and Luca were surprised by what they heard.
"You're sure she has a green color?"
Lenis nodded.
'Is that bad?' Little Marika asked
Suddenly little Marika was picked up by Marika and said. 'No it's not bad at all, you are even more special.'
'You see in our family all the girls are normally born two colors. You are the first girl of The Founding Green Dragon Clan who is born with just one color.'
'And what's even more special is your magic; your magic, it creates flowers, plants and trees. You're the closest to our founding ancestors, who were referred to as dragons of the forest.'
Little Marika hugged Marika.
'Thank you for your gift, I really liked them.'
'Big brother told me what kind of flower you like, so I made many for you, because I wanted to show you my magic.'
Marika smiled.
'But what about daddy? Can he stay here as well?'
Lenis took a look at little Marika's father.
"Huh…"
'What's wrong?'
"Well his soul is still sleeping."
Marika looked at Richard and Richard nodded.
Richard placed his hand on the man chest and started to focus.
After a few minutes Richard was done and told Lenis to have another look.
"His color is Azure, and his form is a sword. As for his magic he can create portals just like William."
'So daddy is also a dragon?' Little Marika asked
"Yes he is. And now that I woke up his soul and you have awakened your senses and magic, you both can even travel to The Night World." Richard patted little Marika's head.
"So we can even live there if we want to?" The man asked.
Richard nodded.
"But what about my health?"
Genus took a look at him and said, "Now that your soul has woken up I think it's for the best to stay in The Moon Kingdom for at least a few weeks, you first need to stabilize you energy, you are an Azure Dragon after all.
'I'll go with daddy, he will probably cheat on his food if I'm not around.'
The man picked up his daughter, "You keep a sharp eye on me."
Little Marika hugged her father.
Harold and Vincent arrived to check on Marika.
"Your Majesty, how are you feeling?" Vincent asked her.
Marika smiled 'I'm still standing…but when I dealt with the last one…I think I can truly say I'm fine.'
Luca walked up to Richard and whispered, "Prepare yourself, because once she kills the last one she will breakdown emotionally and it will be bad."
Richard nodded and would tell her brothers and father, and her friends that she was going to need them.
Marika told Harold, Vincent and Camila that they were invited to the engagement banquet that would be held in in 3 days from now according to the time of The Night World. She also told her brother Alex and the kids to come.
Everybody congratulated them and wished them a happy life.
Harold, Vincent and Camila told them they would be there, and Alex also promised to come.
"Can I come with you guy?" Rex asked.
'Sure, I don't see why not.'
Marika looked at Alex.
"Won't you be busy?"
'Busy with what? I'm not busy at all, there are plenty of people who are currently going nuts now for the preparation. And besides Rex wanted to see my kingdom and I promised him I would take him there after my business with The Sun Kingdom was done.'
Alex looked at Richard "It's fine, Marika has two familiars and the people of her kingdom are very welcoming towards new people."
Then both Marika and Rex looked with pleading eyes at Alex.
"Alright, but don't cause trouble over there."
'Big brother…Trouble is our middle name.'
Alex sighed a little "Rex you can go, but you have to listen to Marika and Richard."
Both Rex and Marika cheered and gave Alex a hug.
"Alright you two."
Luca then said there was something he wanted to discuss with them because there was something that he wanted to look in to.
Harold and Vincent nodded.
"Sis you go on ahead of me."
'Alright, and don't go crazy like me.'
Luca laughed, "Didn't you say I'm a passive version of you?"
'Uhmm…I did, but you almost turned in to a copy of me not long ago.' Marika smiled.
Marika casted a spell and took out a black bag.
'Take this, everything you could possibly need is in there.'
"But sis what about you?"
'I have my own, this one is yours.'
Luca hugged his sister "Thanks sis, I hope I won't need it."
'You better… or else you'll get an ear full when you get back' Marika teased him.
Richard called for William and he appeared.
'See you guys soon, and they left through the portal.'
[The World of Night]
Marika and the others arrived at Moon Castle and were greeted by Dantis.
Marika explained to Dantis that the man and his daughter would be staying in the palace for a few weeks.
'Marika, you stay here with Big brother and your father. If there are any nobles that are being mean to you or your father just beat them up and if you can't beat them up alone just call for big brother or uncle Dantis.'
'Aren't you staying here also big sister?'
Marika shook her head, 'You see your big sister also has a kingdom, and there are a few thing that I need to do over there.'
'Big sister is a queen?'
Marika nodded.
Little Marika hugged Marika, 'Promise me you come to visit.'
'I will, and you train hard on your magic.'
Marika looked at the man 'Henry if you or Marika feel sick let Genus know right away. You both will probably feel a little sick since there is so much energy here and both of you will feel overwhelmed because you're in an place of higher beings.'
The man looked at Marika "How did you know my name? I never told you."
Marika smiled, 'That's because the second time we met it was your soul who told me that.'
Richard looked at Marika, "Not only are you able to show the Priest and Templar's the ancestors souls in your full form at the temple or communicate with them, but you can also communicate with sleeping souls?"
'Apparently I can. But I can't mend souls or wake them like you can.'
'But you should be able to do the same, but you choose to not see them or hear them.'
'I also know why you choose this, and I respect that decision.' And she smiled at him.
'Let's go Rex, were going to Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi.'
Marika gave Richard a kiss, 'Take good care of them.'
"I will sweetheart."
She then whispered something to Richard and his eyes turned cold but he didn't show his anger.
"Alright sweetie."
Marika said goodbye to everybody and left with Rex.
[Virtus et Caeruleus Viridi]
Marika and Rex first went to the black smith, 'Uncle Smithy!'
"Little Lady!
Marika gave him a hug.
'Are my swords done?'
The man brought out her swords, and Marika inspected them.
Rex was looking around when Marika asked him 'Do you see anything you like?'
"Well…my dad forbid us to train in any weapon skill so…"
Marika looked surprised at Rex 'Then what do you do if you get attacked?'
"Dad told us to use our magic."
…
'I need to have a serious talk with him…because if you relay on you magic only and your energy runs out, your royally screwed because you have nothing else to depend on and it can cost your life.'
"Well we don't need it in the human world anyway so…"
'That maybe true, but what if you're not in the human world? Here you can use your magic but having a weapon skill is also something useful because there are a lot of people who uses them.'
Marika whispered something to the black smith and he nodded
"Come back in two days and it will be ready."
Marika patted the man shoulder 'You're the best uncle smithy.'
Marika left the black smith and went to the palace.
Rex saw children playing in the yard and some elderly people sitting on a bench in the sun.
"Why are there so many people here?"
'Well that's because my palace, is a school, hospital, court, and emergency shelter.'
'I told the villagers I didn't need a palace, but they came up with the idea to make it a multipurpose building.'
"That's smart." Rex smiled.
Rex and Marika arrived at the training grounds where Kevin and Dante were training.
Marika called them over.
"Hey Rex, your visiting Marika?" Dante asked him.
"Yeh, she promised me to take me here so…"
While Dante, Kevin and Rex were chatting they suddenly heard Marika's angry voice.
'Alex your too much!'
'Relaying on magic only is a death sentence!'
"Sister, he doesn't need to learn any weapon skill, it's not needed. He will be fine with his magic."
'That attitude of yours and relaying on your magic is what almost got you killed in the first place.'
'Even mom and dad knew how to wheeled a weapon. So does Luca, even though he has his battle magic he can also use a sword if he needs to.'
"I won't discuss this any longer, He doesn't need it and that's final!"
"He already resembles you in a lot of way's, he doesn't need to learn how to kill."
'Are you saying that my sword skill is for just killing? You really think so little of me?' Marika felt hurt by her brothers word.
"That's not what I meant sister…"
'Fine! Have it your way! I don't have an elder brother.'
Marika ended the communication spell and walked away.
"Brother, I'll go to sister and calm her down." Kevin said.
"Rex can you contact your father and let Dante explain what her weapon skill is really about?"
Rex nodded.
Kevin then ran after Marika.
Rex casted a communication spell to his father.
"Rex, how are you over there?"
"Good job dad on hurting aunt Marika like that. She's only looking out for me and wants to make sure I can survive no matter which world I'm in."
"I…"
"Hello Alex, I think you misunderstood our sisters weapon skill and training." Dante said.
"Yes she is wielding two swords but her weapon skill manly is for self-defense. Just because she can wheeled a weapon doesn't mean she just kill her opponent's."
"Let me tell you something, the day she started to train me and Kevin she explicitly told us that this weapon skill can only be used for self-defense."
"We train by this rule, and from what I have seen, up until now she either knock out her opponent, or brook a few bones, I can't deny she hasn't killed anybody, but she also lives by her life code, an eye for an eye."
"She only kills when somebody tried to kill her, but most of the time she uses her sword to pin down her enemy and feed them poison or restrains them in that way."
"Also her techniques maybe self-made, you can apply it to a lot of different type of weapons, sword, daggers, even the spear and scepter."
"Let me ask you something Alex, if our sister didn't know how to wheeled a weapon or how to kill, what do you think would have happened to her?"
"She would be dead a long time ago." Alex answered.
"Correctly."
"And if she finds out her student is using her teachings to just blindly strike at people, the consequence are very painful and she will come down on him or her."
"I experienced it myself."
"Alright." Alex sighed.
"By the way I forgot to mention, sister most of the time uses her wooden training swords than a real sword so she won't accidentally cut of her opponents limbs or kill them."
"She does that?" Alex looked surprised.
Dante nodded.
"Look I know you have been out of each other's life for a long time, and I know you have seen what her life was like."
"For her to let go of her family, and isolated herself from everybody, pick up a weapon and start defending herself and protecting you guy's, made her unable to depend on others for 8 years."
"Rex may be similar to sister, but I don't see the harm in Rex learning a self-defense skill, and knowing our sister, she already know what type of weapon Rex will get, so it won't be a sword, that's for sure."
"Alright, I'll call Marika and apologize to her, and allow her to train Rex in a weapon skill."
"But Rex you have to strictly obey the rules Marika had thought to Kevin and Dante, only for self-defense and never start a fight."
"Yes dad."
Rex then asked Dante "What did she do to you when you broke that rule?"
"She hit me in the back of my head very hard and yell at me."
"I highly recommend you not get yourself in that situation, because she can be really scary."
Alex started to laugh. "Now I'm more reassured."
Kevin found Marika, and she was about to hit a rock out of anger.
Kevin transformed in his second stage and walked up to her "Sister?"
Marika looked behind her and saw Kevin in his second form and waved him over. She then sat down and started to cuddle him.
'Kevin is it so wrong for me to teach my nephew some self-defense and weapon skills? I wasn't planning on teaching him how to use a sword…I just…'
Kevin gave her a hug, "No its not wrong, and don't worry sister, I already asked brother Dante to explain to eldest brother Alex what the true meaning is behind your weapon training."
"I know you feel hurt, but you also hurt him with your words, you practically told him you don't see him as family anymore."
'I know…I was just so mad and frustrated. I think me being separated from him for so long, I feel like were strangers.'
"Well sis you told us not to hurry and take our time in training, you should follow up on you own word and take your time to regain what you have lost over all those years. Don't forget the 3 of you had to isolate yourselves from each other to be save and alive."
"A fight between sibling is good from time to time, it shows each other's bottom lines and can even make the bond stronger. So sister just need to calm down and apologize and I bet everything will be fine."
Marika nodded. 'Thank you little brother.'
"Sis?"
'What is it?'
"Can we go to Mystic Cave tomorrow?"
'Is it time for your final stage?'
Kevin nodded.
'Alright, but there is somebody who would like to be there for your final awakening, is that alright?'
"Who is it?"
'That my little brother is a surprise.'
Suddenly Marika got a call.
"It's probably brother Alex."
Kevin took the call for her. "Now sis remember what I told you before and be nice."
Both Alex and Marika started to laugh.
"Hey sis, I'm really sorry… Dante explained to me what your weapon training really meant and…"
'I'm sorry too brother, I said some hurtful words to you, and I shouldn't have lost my temper like that.'
"It's fine, so after hearing out Dante and a good scolding from Rex, I wanted to let you know that I allow you to train him. But I want to know in which weapon you're going to train him."
'Well a sword or dagger doesn't suit him so I want to train him with a blunt weapon, like a scepter. It's majorly used as a weapon to injure and weaken you opponent, but can only kill someone if you hit him on the head or neck with enough force.'
'By the way Alex did Dante also tell you what the punishment will be if Rex would use this skill for the wrong reasons?'
"He did, and that reassured me even more."
Marika giggled 'Well it's true, the punishment will be rough, and if he ever does that in the human world while I'm not there you better tell me.'
"Don't worry Marika I will."
"Oh one more thing sis, me and Ivy have permanently move back to the main house."
"So we can take care of that place while you're there."
Marika smiled and said 'Welcome home Alex.'
Alex smiled back at her "It's good to be home again."
Alex told Marika to take good care of herself and Rex and if Rex was being a brat she should just chain him up for a few days.
Marika laughed and said she would.
Marika ended the call and felt relieved.
Marika returned to Dante and Rex.
'Rex since I got permission from you father let's start your training.'
Marika handed him a scepter and she also took one.
She showed him the first set of moves.
Kevin and Dante stood aside and also watched.
Rex looked in amazement "Aunt Marika? How many different weapons are you mastered in?"
'Let's see, sword and dual wielding sword, daggers, bow, crossbow, spear, scepter, But I also know some Jujitsu, Judo.'
"Why did you choose the scepter for me?"
'Because it suits you, you don't like it?'
Rex shook his head, "I like it." And he smiled.
He asked if Marika could show the move set again.
After she was done she told him to take a deep breath and relax his body.
Rex fallowed her instructions he started to move.
'Your still too stiff, again from the top.'
Rex did what she said.
After an hour Marika called for Kevin.
'Kevin spar with me and Rex you pay close attention to my moves.'
Kevin and Marika started to spar, and the only moves Marika made was the first move set she showed Rex. Just within 10 minutes Kevin was defeated.
'Dante your next.'
Marika sparred with Dante and repeated the same set of moves. And after 20 minutes she defeated Dante.
Marika then turned to Rex, 'Rex what did you observed of my two matches?'
"It's the way you breath, because your breathing was calm so was your whole body."
'Good, now your do the same thing and start from the top again.'
Rex calmed his mind and body and started to breath calmly and moved again.
After he was done Marika ruffled his hair.
'Take your time and master your body and this set first. When you mastered it then I will assess if you're ready to advance.'
Rex was happy "I will aunt Marika." And gave her a hug.
Marika stop the recording she mad for Alex and sended it to him.
Alex received the recordings and watched it together with Ivy
'Wow aunt Marika is really strict.'
"Well that's a good thing for someone like your brother."
As they saw Marika and her two brothers spar, he didn't saw his sister fighting.
"Ivy, your aunt doesn't move like a fighter does she?"
Ivy nodded, 'It's more like dancing to me.'
Alex smiled and whispered under his breath "You really are beautiful in your fighting sister."
'Rex you're going to train with Dante tomorrow since I have to bring Kevin to Mystic Mountain.'
"Yes Marika."
Now let's go to the mansion and have dinner.
Marika transformed and Dante and Kevin hopped on her back, Rex also transformed and fallowed Marika.
On their way, Rex had a birds eye few and saw the beautiful nature that was between her kingdom and the mansion.
