The Winter Fairy
***
Finally in Aldmeris's body Elena tries to find the likely place they would hold a prisoner in Mephistopheles. She began to wander about, as she saw things that looked quite fighting with what she saw and thought next existed.
She was now finally In Mephistopheles, a dark, lifeless and dead kingdom with no creatures, flowers and beauty. All she could hear was noises of thunderstorm and lighting with pills of skeleton bones scattered everywhere.
It really brought shivers down her spine that evilness and destruction can be this bad. Giving her enough idea of what lies ahead of her which she must be all time prepared for no matter what happens.
She hears footsteps approaching as she quickly hides behind a rock. Thinking the coast was clear she takes a peep and sees no one. Turning around she sees Albunuf at her back and immediately froze up.
"Why are you hiding here? The queen requests your presence immediately." Albunuf said, escorting Aldmeris to queen Lilith's chamber.
Elena walks Inside and feels numbed by what she saw. She sees a familiar face but this time around she meets queen Lilith one on one.
Walking behind Albunuf she focused her gaze on queen Liliths face as memories of how queen Lilith tried to kill her kept flashing in her head.
"Greetings my queen, I have brought him as you requested." Albunuf said, bowing his head and standing at the left side of the throne.
Aldmeris instead of greeting his queen kept staring at her as if he'd been his first time to have a discussion with queen Lilith.
"Don't you know how to bow down to your queen again? Or you don't fear me?" Queen Lilith said, sliding her tongue.
"Oh forgive me my queen, I must be feeling a bit stressed out lately." Aldmeris said, finally bowing down his head.
"That's unlike you? You never mentioned to me about elves getting tired?" queen Lilith said, taking a drink.
"Oh it must have slipped my mind my queen. What may I do for her evilness?" Aldmeris said, still keeping his head down.
"Since Elena has managed to spoil our plans we don't need the fairy again." Queen Lilith said getting off from her throne.
"What do you mean my queen?" Aldmeris said, still keeping his head down.
"I mean she will be killed today, is that clear?" Queen Lilith said, dropping the cup on a table.
"B…but my queen don't you think…" Queen Lilith interrupts Aldmeris.
"Did you just try to cancel my judgement?" Queen Liith said holding Aldmeris by the throat.
"N…no as you command…my…queen." Aldmeris said, trying to gasp for air.
"Good and now go and get prepared. We have a lot to do" Queen Lilith said, throwing down Aldmeris on the ground.
"Yes…my queen at once." Aldmeris said, existing queen Lilith's chambers.
Elena couldn't believe what she had been told about Vinix's execution as she cried bitterly thinking of what she would do but no ideas came to her mind.
It was something that wasn't preventable and I guess Vinix knew her faith right from the beginning after everything she had to face all because of me.
It was time for Vinix to be executed at the legion. All demons of Mephistopheles gathered around to witness a fairy killed for the first time in Mephistopheles.
It was a tradition that no demon would kill a fairy but the queen herself. Such traditions have been followed since the dawn of time.
"Albunuf bring out our prisoner it's time." Queen Lilith said as she got ready to go to the legion where her demons had already gathered.
Queen Lilth ordered Aldmeris to follow her to witness this glorious event. Queen Lilith stands waiting for Albunuf to bring out her prisoner while Aldmeris stood halfway a way from queen Lilth.
Eventually Vinix was brought out as all the demons chorus with screeching noises. Vinix looked really beaten, tired, tortured, starved and lifeless. Elena could do nothing but only watch how she was handcuffed, chained and dragged like a dog.
It broke Elena as she forced back tears which were about coming out from her eyes. Albunuf brings her and removes the handcuffs from her hands. He then placed her on a black glass tray chaining her two hands and legs.
"Take it and put it inside her forehead. I want to hear her scream in pain." Queen Lilith said, handing Aldmeris a long thin needle.
Elena felt skeptical about it and couldn't move her body. Pain rushed heavily in her heart as she began to feel guilt crawl all over her body.
"Are you deaf? Do as I have asked you too." Queen Lilith said angrily.
"Y…yes my queen." Aldmeris said, approaching Vinix in tears.
She glanced carefully at Vinix's dismayed face and red sore eyes as she could feel the pains she went through all because of her.
She gets the needle and gently places it on her head and taking a deep breath she pushes it inside her head making her scream in pain and agony which pleased queen Lilith's dark heart.
Tears rolled off from Elena's eyes as words couldn't explain how deeply she had felt. She cleans off Vinix tears from her face and said.
"Vinix, I am so sorry…please forgive me." Aldmeris said sniffly.
Vinix hears a familiar voice still in pain as she turns her head gently to see Aldmeris.
"E…Elena, I.. it's…really…you. Am sorry, I wished we could talk again…time doesn't permit. Be…the strong, brave, and smart girl…that you…are. I know you can do it…I believe in you Elena." Vinix said with tears coursing down her face.
She knew this was the end of her. She gave Elena one last glance then smiled.
"Has it been done?" Queen Lilith asked, sliding out her tongue.
"Yes…my queen." Aldmeris said, stepping back to where he was earlier.
"Good. Now give me the book of devouring souls." Queen Lilith said, collecting the dark spell book from Albunuf.
She approached Vinix who was already feeling lifeless, smiling at her fate. She asked Aldmeris to hold the book while she enchants loudly with her two hands placed on Vinix's head.
"Distiru malsutrs! globotum soulitium! Supuesto untukmu!" immediately Vinix's soul got sucked up into Lilith's body leaving Bones of what remained of Vinix.
Queen Lilith took Vinix bones and threw them into the larva making sure nothing of Vinix remained. Elena holds back her tears standing like her life has been taken instead.
"If you excuse me, my queen , I have something urgent to do." Aldmeris said bowing down before leaving.
He runs to the arena shouting and wailing bitterly. Hitting and cursing himself before Elena realized she was still inside Aldmeris body.
"How disgusting! To be an elf! I failed and it's my fault." Elena said looking in a mirror she found on the ground.
Anger and revenge filled up in Elena's head. As her mission to kill and defeat Lilith was set in motion. She decides to use this opportunity to know what Lilith's plan is and how she could defeat her.
Aldmeris goes to the queen Lilith chambers but hears a conversation between her and someone.
"So you finally killed the fairy, too bad I missed it. Am sure you're satisfied now." Hades said, already sitting down on a chair.
"Satisfied? Not quite. That was only the beginning. I still have Elena to dispose of but she's proving quite difficult for me." Queen Lilith said walking back and forth.
"That's true but remember you have the angel blade that can kill a supernatural being instantly." Hades said, giving out a causal smile.
"Yes, that's right. I almost forgot. Where did I put it? Ahh there it is. So beautiful! Just one cut on Elena and she would be done for." Queen Lilth said, taking out the blade from a casket.
Elena sees and hears everything queen Lilith says as she leaves to think of a way to get hold of the blade queen Lilith speaks off. She decides to try to sneak into queen Lilith's chambers at night where everywhere is likely to be guarded by her minions.
After careful thoughts and thinking Elena decides to go with her plans. At night she left where she had been and came to Lilith's chamber in search of the blade.
She sees Albunuf guarding the entrance of her door. She decides to go over telling him.
"The queen has asked you to retire for the night while I watch guard tonight." Aldmeris said, giving a dead stare look.
Albunuf does as he has been told to and leaves the post for Aldmeris. After some minutes Aldmeris gets inside queen Lilith's chamber shutting the door behind him.
He takes a wild look around looking for any possible blade but sees none. He remembers queen Lilith had spoken about a casket. He begins to look for any casket in sight, luckily for him he sees something resembling a casket and tries opening it up but couldn't.
He uses one of his dark magic mixed with two drops of demon blood which he got from her cup. He enchants and the casket opens.
He sees the blade queen Lilith was talking about and carefully picks it up. Checking to see no one had followed him he takes it along with him but unfortunately the blade falls out from his hand making queen Lilith to wake up.
"Who dares disturb me! Aldmeris? What are you doing with the blade?" Queen Lilith said, approaching Aldmeris.
"I…I wanted to…Burn bitch! "sumptus mevitus vortex!" Aldmeris said, releasing a ball of fire which blasts off at queen Lilith making her screech in pain.
"Elena? I…it can't be! Albunuf gather all the demon and get her! We mustn't lose her." Queen Lilith said in escurtating pain on her arms.
Aldmeris runs out with the blade trying to escape the queen and her demon minions. Elena runs trying to look for a way to go but gets cut at a dead end with no way to go.
Queen Lilth approaches her in rage and snatches the blade off Aldmeris hand. She immediately attacks Aldmeris with the blade thinking it was Elena and stabs it deep into Aldmeris chest.
"Yes! Finally I killed Elena!" Queen Lilith said laughing maliciously.
Until she realized a familiar voice she heard before.
"M…my… q…queen…Am sorry I.. failed you." Aldmeris said, shocking in his blood as Lilth watched him die.
"Nooo! You fool! How could you allow her to use you! You're even more useless than I thought. Feast on him and leave no remains." Queen Lilith said as her demons circled Aldmeris' dead body, eating him up.
***
At Winterfell…
Elena finds herself back to her body just in time before the spell elapsed. She felt disappointed that she wasn't able to break back the blade but at least now she has an idea of what queen Liliths plan is.
"Elena! You're okay! Where is Vinix? How is she? Why is she not with you?" Elvenia asked in confusion, shaking Elena unsteadily.
"She…she…" Elena said, stammering as words couldn't leave her lips.
"She what? Tell me!" Elevina said angrily as her gaze widened.
"Vinix is dead." Elena said , falling down to her knees with tears coursing down her eyes in pain and regrets.
