"YOUR MAJESTY I BRING URGENT NEWS!!"
A messenger ran into the throne room to alert the king of valuable information.
The king was already tired due to the amount of events that have occurred in this short while.
"What is it. This better be good news."
"I'm sorry but you'll just have to see for yourself."
The messenger then brought an orb before the king.
"A seer orb?"
"Yes sire. It seems that the fight between Fire Maiden Elaina and the unknown person who killed her was recorded. This must've been her way of leaving something behind."
The kings face grew with sorrow.
With just one glance the messenger was able to tell how heavily this was affecting the king.
"Your majesty?"
"Oh yes, I apologize. Please, show me the battle."
"As you wish."
The messenger activated the orb and showed the battle.
They both watched the fight attentively making sure they didn't miss a single detail.
"This person…how is he able to keep up with Elaina so easy."
"Yes you're right sire. This shouldn't be possible."
They continued to watch the fight when suddenly, the unknown person did an unspeakable action. Use of a forbidden relic.
"Did-…did he just use a forbidden dark relic…"
"But…that can't be…those relics were said to have been destroyed and lost in the last battle against the demon king."
The messenger hesitated before saying this next part
"F-Forgive me for saying this your majesty, but might you be mistaken."
"No. I'm sure of it. While it may differ from the ones the demon king used, there's no mistaking that magic of its release."
The messenger was a bit confused by the kings statement.
"But how can you be so sure of this sire?"
The king paused, reluctant to share this next piece of information.
"Make sure to never peep a word of this to a soul."
The messenger nodded in agreement.
"I was there…the day the demon king was slain."
The messenger's eyes widened, suprised by the kings sudden statement.
"So then how does he have-?"
The king cut the messenger off suddenly."
"Wait go back."
"O-Ok."
The messenger rewinded the battle.
"No. No that's not it. But it gives off the same effect."
Is it a duplicate then? This is bad. This person not only has letuminous, but a dark forbidden relic aswell. I must immediately alert-
Suddenly the orb began glowing, lighting up the throne room.
"WHAT THE HELL IS HAPPENING!!"
"I-I don't know."
The kings eyes widdened
"QUICK CAST A BARR-"
*BOOOOMMMMM!!!!*
…
*Meanwhile*
Serena and Albert were there in the mansion. Serena was huffing and puffing as if she were completely out of breath.
"Come one you're over exaggerating."
"You know the toll my ability has on me, I haven't mastered it yet."
"Then just hurry and master it."
"That would be easier to do if you'd let me practice on you."
"Yea not happening. Anyway these 2 were way too weak. Did Tiana really lose to them?"
"Maybe she was just all talk"
"Yea right. You saw her ability. It was basically uncounterable if there's less than 4 people. They must've pulled some trick."
"Well we handle them with ease so it's no problem."
"Yes you're right my darling Serene."
"Oh my pumpkin Alberto~~~"
The two were now getting lovely dovey. Yuck…
"Oooo stop~"
"Come on they're dead we can do it."
Why
"Ok maybe just real quick~"
It's not fair
*Girl moaning*
"Yes just like that~~"
They don't deserve to live
"Serene darling you feel so good!"
W-where…am I
Get up Arthur. Kill them.
Do not listen to it. It's trying to trick you. Just stay composed.
You already tried that Arthur! And look where it got you.
W-what are yall talking about. I don't know what to do.
Listen to me Arthur. Look.
The voice in Arthur's head then showed Ana's lifeless body, reminding him of what Serena and Albert did.
They did this. They need to be punished.
Arthur it'll consume you don't listen!
Arthur began to hyperventilate.
Do it Arthur! Dont listen to it!
I-…
Come on Arthur. It's easy, just take your sword…and swing. Watch as their head rolls.
Arthur trust me. You c-
Shut up
A devilish grin formed over the evil being
It's right. I listened to you earlier. And it almost got me killed.
ARTHUR JUST TRU-
Be gone. Both of you. I'm doing this of my own accord.
Good job Arthur….
The voice faded
"You ready Serene darling!!"
"I'm so ready pumkin!! Fill me up!"
"It's comi-"
*Splash!*
…
Blood flew over Serena's face as Albert's headless body flopped on top of her. Blood began it pour out onto her.
It was silent. Silent until Serena had come to what really just happened.
"Hey…hey pumkin….stop please don't play like this…you know I hate it. Hello.
She began shaking his body to get a response.
…
"EEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!!"
A gut wrenching scream filled the room.
It finally sunk in.
