Chapter 28 - Your child.

Fiora now dressed for a long journey, in all black clothing, black boots, black pants shirt, she grabs a face mask and a cap to blend in with the crowd at night. "How do I look?" She asked her servant. "Good enough." They open the window and jump out of the room. They slowly managed to get to ground level and started sneaking around.

They get out through the gates and now walk normally. "Where are we going?" The servant asked. "You'll see." Their pace wasn't normal, they were hasty. Fiora walks, nearly starting a sprint as time wasn't on their side. They managed to ge to the barracks. They open the door slowly and look to see if anyone is in.

The place it's empty, 'looks like a trap' she said in her head and slowly moved towards a Dragonoid Mechanic flying armored device. "It's the new model. Let's get in." They open the machinery's neck and enter it. She gets into the pilot seat and starts it. "Open the back doors so we can fly out." She said the her servant.

He presses a button on the co-pilot seat and the back doors open. The dragon moves out on his legs, controlled by Fiora. She holds the stick up and the dragon starts picking up altitude. "Theodore, I come to your aid!" She said out loud, hoping it's not too late.

In the Highland kingdom, Theodore's army is going to return back to the castle. Theodore on the back of Rinehart's mech is looking at Seraphine. He knew she couldn't be a God given servant from the start, he let it play out to see what she was gonna do.

Seraphine looks at Theodore, she grabs her pistol and shot Theodore's arm, he loosened his grip and falls towards the forest below them. She jumps and throws a knife at him, Theodore gets hit by the knife in the abdomen. Rinehart looks to see what happened, but Theodore is already near the trees. He also saw Seraphine jumping off the other mech.

"She shot at him, Theodore falled. We need to save him." Said Ghost who saw everything. The army heard what he said and stopped. They all plunge into the forest to find Theodore and punish Seraphine.

The darkness of the night made it impossible to see where they had fallen. "Split into groups, they aren't far." Theodore falls in a lake, he is dragged out by someone he feels them doing CPR and water flows out of his mouth. He looks around and sees a kajini, he nods with respect and gratitude. He looks at his abdomen. "This will hurt in the morning."

He tries to get up but his arm can't help him, his left arm gives in. Rain starts to pick up and looks at the sky. He hysterically laughs. "Is this my end, GODDESS OF VICTORY?" He spits, he laughs more. "You Gods, have some balls to think I'll die here."

He looks at the kajini, shakes his head and turns himself over, gathers all his strength and gets up. Covered in mud and blood, Theodore moves towards the trees to have cover.He hears a gunshot being fired in his direction. "Good job idiot!"

He hears footsteps running towards him. He grabs his own gun and shoots back. "Here bitch!" the kajini looks at them fighting, they go underneath the lake and take cover to not get shot."You dare hide now THEO?" Theodore laughs, "I barely could move, if I could've run, I would've ran you over." He hears her getting closer, he gets out of cover and faces her.

He throws his gun and looks into her eyes. "Kill me. Here and now." Seraphine tries to shoot him but she can't. Her finger tries to push the trigger but it won't budge. She could move her finger away from the trigger, but she couldn't press it. Theodore smiles.

"You're a fucking Bloodhearth arren't you?" He sits on the ground with the knife still in the abdomen. "You can't kill me because you're a Bloodhearth." He starts bursting in laughter. "Who is your mother or father, I need to know." She looks at him disappointed. "In theory you are…"

Theodore widens his eyes and looks at her top to bottom. "You say I fucked someone before I was born?" That is a feat not even Bloodhearths can do.

"I am a child that came from an artificial womb. I was trained to kill you, but apparently I can't. Why can't I kill you?" Theodore looks at her with a smirk expression.

"You see Bloodhearths have this curse on them, the first queen of Teris was a Bloodhearth, Leona Bloodhearth. She married her own God given servant and from that moment forward we can't kill each other as Bloodhearths because by law, we are killing our 'mastrers' by God law we are half servants half masters." She looked confused at him.

"So who is your 'mother'?" She sits beside him. "Queen Adella of Liberta" Theodore laughs again. "What an idiot!" Seraphine looks more confused than before. "She is a Bloodhearth too, Queen Leona ruled over Highland and Liberta too. She lived and died in Liberta. Queen Adella is my long distant cousin." Theodore breaks into laughter.

The laugh brought the army to their location. Theodore looked at her face. "You do look like me, a bit… But why are you so old?" "They gave me some substances to make me get older faster. "I am 5 years old in human years, but my mind and body are the same as a 22 year old."

Theodore scratched his head trying to find how they could get his DNA 5 years ago."Fucking Goldheaven." Theodore's army arrived, guns drawn and pointed at Seraphine. "Don't shoot her, apparently she is my child."
