"It wasn't his fault," the woman on the floor cried on top of the crowd's scream s "it wasn't his fault" She was met with silence. The man stood over her and raised his sword, his eyes showing no emotion as he swung it then stopped, right on top of her forehead, she could feel the crowd become angry and agitated. The tears in her eyes made it hard for her to see but she could hear him death his sword and kneel before her. She started to plead again. "Please-"
She heard a squelch, followed by louder roars from the crowd and realized that her hands were empty. She quickly cleaned her eyes and looked at the man, then his hands.
No
They were clenched around a small body.
No
They were clenched around her newborn son.
"NO!" She screamed, feeling her body becoming hot and the chains on her broke, she rushed at the executioner and suddenly.
Nothing
So that's how being dead feels, what an absurd thought to be having. Felt herself fall to the ground, looking at what happened, she saw her.
Korin Blacktail, first female Royal Guard, staring at her lifeless body as the shouts around amplified tenfold. The woman turned her head around and saw her child. The executioner was about to stab her again.
Did you like that Lyra. A screen in the woman's head said as she woke up.
Then run.
The woman was starting to get tired holding her child and running
Now hold out one hand, cross your heart with the other and make a chopping motion with it onto your outstretched palm.
As she did it, she instantly started to feel better, faster, stronger.
What did you do. She asked.
Oh, I servered all ties to the clan and made you go under the classification of a rogue, also completely unrelated statement, but now five guards are chasing you, one of them being your husband's daily cumbucket.
Oh, Ok.
You can't fight, you're holding a baby, use void step.
Starting to get irritated with the screen, she mentally blocked him.
Taking a deep breath, she muttered an incantation
'... Void step'
Instantly, a mist sounded her, making her invisible.
First style,world hop.
When she opened her eyes, she was in a comfortable bedroom with a baby inside, she quickly wrote a note and disappeared.
"Where would she be captain" the Delta ranked guards chorused as they rested in the clearing that Lyra disappeared in. Korin, their team leader, ignored them thinking about how she cold be outrun by her.
If this were to be any normal person, korin would have sensed their energy long ago and killed them by now. As you may have noticed, this was no ordinary person,a person that, mind you, was staring at the group from the trees.
You know, when you said personal cum bucket, I thought you meant the king was gay.
So you decide to unblock me, when you want to make jokes. The screen said, fuming.
I had postmaritum depression.
That's not even a thing.
Let's talk spelling when I'm not about to die.
Deciding to be adventurous, she walked out, releasing her spell.
"Nice day for a stroll isn't it" Lyra said walking casually.
All the knights got in order and a brave one raised his sword and said, "Former queen Lyra Banestone, you are under arrest under charges of witchcraft, treason and becoming a rog-"
Move aside. A strong gust of wind blew them away, all except Korin.
"I'm here for you." Lyra said pointing at Korin with a black Short sword that definitely wasn't there before. Korin was never one
to back down from a challenge so without saying a word, they began to circle each other then, without warning, they attacked each other.
Korin almost immediately got cut on her cheek while blocking Lyra's attack. After they were a blur, with Korin quickly getting overwhelmed with Lyra's attacks.
Soon the knights decided to fire arrows at them narrowly missing them.
Then Korin stopped, moved back sighed an pointed her finger.
Kael's techniques: Phoenix Flame.
A burst of flame came out and towards Lyra and engulfed where she was.when they cleared up there was no body.
"You call that Flame control." A shocked Korin, engulfing her fist In flame, punched her only to be blocked by a force field of Flame and jumped back as a wave of heat began and Walking out of the flames holding a small flame on her pinky finger so white it looked like bright smoke, the fire roasting the mask she was wearing as her purple eyes glowed malevolently.
Was Lyra.
"This is flame control." She said simply then flicked the small white flame towards the ground.
Korin woke up at the palace with a confused expression, when she came to she jumped up immediately alert. A loud throat clearing snapped her attention to the young doctor beside her.
"Hello Madam, My name is-"
"Screw your name, we need to find
Lyra, I somehow fell unconscious during our fight-"
"Yes If you'd allow me to explain-"
"Where's the rest of my squad, we need to launch a search immedi-"
"About your squad-"
"Oh. My. God, why do you keep interrupting me, do you know who I am, I could-"
The Doctor, having lost his patientce said "Yes, I know who you are,", standing up he said.
"Queen Korin, I believe you were killed by the rogue known as Lyra Banestone."
