“Why?” the old man ask as soon as the knife penetrate his skin, the surprise take all the strench that remains on his body, he didn't fight, he didn't scream, he just repeat “Why?” 

But Henry didn't answered  to his corpse, he left the room of his former allie as quiet as he entered, he has a fair mision, not good or noble, but fair. 

Kill the spies, prove his loyalty, serve the King 

The death of the counselor was  scandalous; a member of the court stabbed on his own bedroom;  all the castle shake with fear, everybody talked about the  silver knife nail over the body and the beautiful symbol engraved on the handle: a  flower with diamonds as petals, the symbol of the light 

The king was there when Henry inspected the room, he, the trusty adviser, the wiser; the one in charge of investigate his own crime, Takato really was that naive, kill him would be so easy. 

To be fair, Henry had not be his first choice, Takato instanly search for Ruki, but she denied it, is the work of a coward  she said pretending to know nothing, what an amazing liar. 

Gallant lick the blood of the carpet before it could be clean it and  the Lion buried the body and burn all of the gathering. 

In all the palace no one cried the dead of counselor as the Queen, such a crime was no common on Piramide, they were used to fights at coliseum, the honor to die with your opponent in front of you; but for Takato, raised on the old temple, a childhood on the cult, killing on the dark was expected; he fails at comforting his wife. 

The lion carried her around the castle, throwing suspicious and curses to anyone who come closer, doing the job he had done all his life: be the champion of the Queen.

 “Is the work of your enemies your majesty” Henry Wong asure kneeling in front of the King and Queen 

“How?” Takato tried to look compose and fails “How did they surpass our defenses?” 

“and why him? “ Yuri  as usually asked the questions that Takato would never ask “Why send an  from a old man when the Queen and KIng live in the same castle?” 

“I don't know” he standed up and spoke calm and slowly   “But i promise i will found out” 

“Tenemos que prepararnos” the queen continues “we must reinforce the castle, bend the guard…” Lion was beside her, nodding with his head after every order 

“Momantai” 

“Excuse me?” 

“Momantai” he repeat “Is mean no te preocupes” he turns to Takato “Not to worry” 

“How i cannot be worried if a man is killed in my own castle” Yuri yells, send wàs so little,he could take her down with no effort; The Lion standed up.

“Because that man was a target” still serene he continues “ just think about it, someone entered the castle and only attack an old council, not you or the King, my guess is that is personal, not only that, my thought is that no one really break into the castle, it was an inside job” 

He felt Ruki eyes over him, the entire court gasped, the queen sobed

“the guards saw nothing, the lock was not forced, there was no sign of a fight, the murderer was someone the council knew, someone he trusted, the murderer is a member of this castle, probably a spy from the light” 

The gasp became a scream, and the sob became tears 

“And you tell me not to worried about it?” 

“Gallant is with you all the time,  the Lion protect the Queen, and now that we are aware of this spy he or she would not be able to act without been caught”  he bow “Momantai” and excuse himself out of the audience. 

“Are you out of your mind?”  Ruki follow him  “what is wrong with you?” 

“the best lies are the ones who begins with the true” 

“Don't mess with me Wong!” she come closer “just tell me who the others spies are and i would handle it! this is way out of you control!” 

“Wong!” another figure run to them 

“Hide”  

“I don't take orders from you!” 

“Just do it!” and very much to her regret she obeyed

“Wong!” a man approached to him, he was sweating despite the cold weather “Wong! we need to talk, the counselor! what you said¡” the man searched for a safe place to speak “ are we in danger?” 

Ruki recognized him as one of the guard

“listen” a little tremble on his voice, subtle and fake “my hope is that whoever is behind this crime would panic after my declaration, I only act by the command of the alchemist” 

“Did you speak with him?” both men whispered but Ruki was able to listen  “What did he said?” 

“What I need to know, I told you, I merely  follow his instructions” one hand over his shoulder “I trust in his guide, if my purpose is to die for the light, then it will be” 

The man become a young boy at his words 

“Yes, yes of course” he mumble “I, i think the same, i just… im use to the life in this city” 

“Are you coming outside of the light my friend?” 

“No! of course not, im sorry for bothering you is just.. i have doubs” 

“Doubs about the true of the light or about our lider? 

 the fear on his face was enough  answer

Ruki come out of her hide at the same time he running away 

“Nervous men make stupid mistakes” 

“Dont lecture me” she was not convince “this is gonna explode in your face, let me help you” 

“You are helping” he sigh “The king would recognize your murder technique in an instant, I´ll do it, one by one until the last one snap” 

“or you…” 

“I´m calm” he breath, exasperate “I´m in control” even when he was thinking in a millions ways of break her neck

Ruki look at him with her big menacing eyes “Koushiro train you well” 

“I never told you he was my teacher” 

“You didn't have to” but she pause, as  if she was afraid “don't forget why are we doing this, our goal” and she look back at the throne room, the King smile as he talk and welcome the audiences, the light shine over Takato crown making him look almost divine “Only a child of the sun must reight over the living land” 

“For the glory of the house of courage” 

 “For the glory of the house of courage!” she repeat, hoping that he knew what he was doing, hoping that trust in him would not be as disastrous as it was trusting his teacher.

That night the archers of the wall shoot the guard who tried to escape at the middle of the night.  

Two days later one of the maids  throw herself from one window 

One of the gardeners was found floating on the south fountain one week later 

His work was almost done, one last victim and it would be over. 

He called him to met on the garden at dawn, at diference of the others this time they will fight, Henry will won, then he will drag his corpse to the King chamber claiming that he was the perpetrator, ending all doubs over his persona and bringing peace at the castle. 

The last spy  appear at dawn, as planning,  sweating and at the edge of tears, the oldest sidesman of the castle. Henry feel the rush on his blood, still he remains calm. 

“My friend” he said with a smile, barely controlling his excitement “i´m so happy that  you come to me in this our darkest moment” 

 “I´m sorry” he barely whisper,  something was wrong

Another figure emerged between the leaves, tall as a three, strong and proud, The lion looked at him as you can only see the traitors 

“se terminó Wong” he roar 

“Dear light” he turn to the old man “What had you done?” 

“The right thing my friend” his grind was peacefully but twisted “ the right thing” 

 “You…” Henry rush   “You old snitch” 

“hard words on the mouth of a spy” the Lion was still there, with his old chain and ball “I didn't want to believe it” 

“but is true” the sideman step back as he talked “ Wong is the one who communicate with the great alchemist, he had been an informant for him since before the King even married our queen” 

“As same as you!” 

“but he come to me with the true, he regret his past  and swear the rest of his life in favor of Piramide” 

“I´m in favor of Piramide!” Henry need to thing faser, “I´m purging all the light of this city” 

“All except you” 

“That was not...!” 

“Liar!” the heavy chain hit the floor, Henry need to act, The lion would not fail a second time. 

He need a strategy, a way out, he need to focus, to think, he would not follow into dispair; the firmest tree is the only one that can stand the storm 

“I´m not following the orders of the alquemist…” he said trying to stay calm 

“You called this man to murder him, just as you had murder so many others, you attack them from the back and  set them up as accidents, rejecting the honorable pat of a true warrior, do you denied those crimes?” 

“No, but listen…” if only he could explain 

“You lied about your loyalties, you share the secrets of the crown with their enemies” 

“I´m loyal to the king!” his plea sound empty “My only concern is the safety of the King!” 

The lion speak since his hearth “And i only live to protect my Queen” 

The queen, the fragile girl who cried with every dead, and those tears where his sentence, the Lion would kill him for bringing pain to  the monarch 

Even then, he keep breathing, he search for an exit, a distraction, an opportunity 

But then he hear the laugh of the sideman, his bitter utterly obnoxious laugh, suddenly it's fill all his thoughts, all his mind, the mocking of a buffon; he didn't care for the King, or the Kingdom or the magic or the Courage, he was a man manipulating the true to his benefit; Henry get mad at seen at him, not for the imminent death but for how much he could see himself in that elder. 

The calm before the storm was over. . . 

“Wong! Henry stop!” The hand of Ruki hold his wrist, he drop the chain and the ball fall to a pool  of blood,  his eyesight was blurry, his coat was dyed red, to his right the inert body of the old man lay on the ground “What are you doing?” 

What was he doing?

Breath… breath…  he remains  himself and stand up, the ground feel warm, under him layed another body, in horror he saw the lion heads crush on the floor, more than fourteen stabs on his back, with total security injuries perpetrated by his hand

“It's dawning, come on Wong, we have to clean up this disaster”

“Its to late” he remain inmobil, perplexe by the unspoken crimes, soon screams shocked the wind around him, the life in the palace begins early. 

A monster roar, the King was near and he was covered in rot and violence, he did not stand the storm, he was the storm. 

“Run!” Ruki commanded at the same time that she throw over him a dark water.  And what else he could do. 

Henry jumped and ran the faster, the monsters of the King would smell the blood and start follow him at any second. But they didn’t, Henry saw the dark shadow of Ruki colecting every drop of blood that fall from his body. The warrior didn´t stop until the water of the sea had cover him to head to toe. When the shadow of Ruki let him he stayed under the ocean, hopping for the salt water to clean his concience and clean his doubs. He noticed that he still had the heavy weapon of León on his hand, it was drowing him at the deptest of the blue. Henry colected his stregnth  and get out of the water.

The King watch horrified. The corpses of Leon and the old coin advisor were on the floor. There was blood and human parts all over the place. 

“It must had been an ugly battle” Ruki said 

“What?” Takato asked incredulous “Why León would fight an old man?”

“He was obviusly hidden his force, but they kill each other, that is clear” Ruki spoke with force and saw how Takato believed her “we found our killer”

“What?” the child repeated

“One of them was the killer and the other his last victim” 

A heartrending scream cut the conversation. 

Takato turned over himself and hold his trembling wife. 

“León!” The Queen cry and scream as she fallen over the corpse of his protector. 

The King hold her. The three sauros get together and howl. Ruki commanded the guard and get shure to clean everything. 

The murders stopped and for three months the castle cover its standar of black. The Queen stopped to cry a week after the body was buried, but she wasn’t talking anymore. The King hold her hand and talk to her, but her eyes failed to look at him. 

The Queen versed over herself and The King versed over her pale Queen. 

The throne of Piramide was weak.

Epilogue

Part one

The Light had left her Islands.  The King of all had promised peace for her home when Mimmi  bend the knel. Peace for The Honest Islands, there would be a most pure wish? 

 Iory and Ken were on The Salt. The prison Island. A desertic place were the worst criminals past their last years. Around the Island there were just salt water, infested with the worst leeches and the hottest weather. It was no scape. 

Iory could feel his own sweat draining. The air was heavy and salty, everything stink and in front of him was Ichijouji. HIs brother had always been handsome, always elegant and altive. Now Ken looked like a shadow of himself, skinny and pale, but most important, quiet. At first Ken had been loud and gross. He had cursed Davis name on all the ways posible, he had called Iory a coward and a fool. The guards had not come for them, just had given them an occasional meal. FInally, Ken had reclaimed his own corner on the cell and had leaning over himself to think on silence. 

“It isn't going to work” Iory said. The words between them sound weird and wrong. Ken did not answered “If you are trying to scape you better don't. We both know that it wouldn't work”

Ken kept quiet. 

“You design this prison, you know how cruel it is going to be our death” 

“They should give us separate cells” Ken said at last. And Iory actually laugh at the comment.

“They are waiting for us to kill each other” Iory said “that is why they let you kept that piece of blade on your clothes”

Ken turned to look at him for the first time. 

“I only asking if it is going to be for resentment or mercy” 

“You always surrender so easily” 

“No I don't”

And that made Ken laugh.

“I should had killed you long ago” Ken said showing him the blade. 

“When? When I lost the Ikkaku Island? When I let Davis come back?”

“That time when you replaced all my clothes with pink ones” 

“OH MY GOD, that was so stupid” 

“Even then I was the best dressed on the Gala”

“You and Davis dance all night”

 The silent showed again.

“I am sorry” Iory said. 

“Good” His brother answered.

Other day past and Ken didn't kill him.  At night Iory hear Ken crying. When they stopped to bring them food, Iory cry too. 

“Three days” Ken said “They are going to feed us again in three days to kept us alive” 

Mercy, Iory tough looking at Ken’s blade again.

Ken was right, after three days they started to feed them twice a day, one time at afternoon and one time at morning. 

Fifteen days had passed since they had been arrested when they heard the lock of the cell opened early. 

“They are going to take us to forced labor” Ken said.

“Or they are going to feed the fish with us” Iory answered. 

The Queen Mimmi entered at the room. Iory knelt and reverence until his front touch the floor while Ken lie uncaring over the dirty floor.

“Your majesty” Iory said. 

“Iory, Ken” The Queen greeting “The Light had left the Honest Island. Taichi had left to me to decide what to do with you both”

“Left” Ken said “my favorite eye is the left one, in case you are wondering” 

The eyepatch of the Queen was broided with a rose. She had come to see them alone. 

“Force labor would let the people watch our punishment and would kept the memory of our treason alive, but it would give us the best chances to scaped. The public execution will be better” Iory said calmly.

“The King last will was for you to be alive”  

Iory remember the last word of Joe. ”Don't kill the children” He trembling at the thought of he and Ken as Joe’s children. 

“Children doesn't lead revolutions” Ichijouji said. 

“Well… the KIng of all didn't know that” Mimmi answered 

Iory looked at the Queen. She was composed, but she was not in peace, her purple eye shine and an old blade of the desert rest on her side. 

“What do you want?”

“The Light come to the Island with false promises of peace and when we had solve our problems THe Wolf Knight killed my husband”

“Your majesty” Iory claimed as Ichijouji raised from the floor. 

“Joe was the best of us and they killed him” The Queen said “i am going to do what it has to be done” She get at the door and opened the cell “Stand up, my knights, I, The Queen of the Honest Island, had proclaimed our independency, join me and this land would remember you as libertadores, refused it and you would be forgotten” 

“You are asking for another war, and for what? the people would suffer, Joe knew…” Iory claimed.

“But Joe is death and his murderers are free and ruling!”

“Joe never want a war and if you truly love him you would honor his memory and would rule over the peace that he left you” 

Iory was standing in front of the Queen. He was short for his age, his eyes were brown as his hair. A little rock in the sea, standing. The son of Joe that wasn't hers. 

The forgotten Prince felt the cold iron on his back “For the back, brother?” The child said with sorrow to Ichijouji, who removed the blade from the back of his brother with no hesitation.  

Iory’s body hit the ground and Ken Ichijouji kneel in front of the Queen. 

Mimmi left The Salt with a new knight and that same night she wrote a letter to her sister, the Queen of the Desert would be happy.  

Part two

When he wake up she was already gone.

The remorse craw on his head, why she would stay? What else would she want for him? 

Taichi was not ready for another day, he didn't want Hikari´s eyes over him, her empty words, her endless patient, her lies, her light. 

But behind his door was still dark, no sister, no wife, only one soldier guarding the room.

None of them were ready, Taichi hold his breath uncertain, he want to talk, to come close, but he didn´t know how, Sora´s touch was still fresh on his skin.

“Yamato.... “Since when was he there? did he saw the queen go? did he notice her sweet, her bed hair, her trembling legs?

“Your majesty” The knight do the formal salude, so much melancholy

Taichi flinch, it had been so long since he hear his voice, one word of Yamato and he was able to breath again.

The short distance between them feels like a thousand miles, but it doesn't matter, Taichi run and hold him against the wall, Kissing him had always been easy, they belong together.

“i´m sorry” he murmur at some point when he was able to finally articulate words ”Im so sorry” he repeat while Yamato hands trip under his vest

 “good” he smile while his armor fall over the floor, when they enter to room?

“Yamato.. wait” he use all his strength to separate their bodies “we must be careful, we canot... we cannot make the same mistake twice”

“mistake?” now he was mad, Taichi knows his frowning forehead and the trembling lips 

“No like that, please listen”

“I miss you” somehow it´s feel like a reclaim 

“I.. I... “ No, he wasn't strong enough and once agains he rush to him  “This is dangerous” 

“That's a brilliant discovery your highness, it took you all this time to get to that brilliant conclusion?”

“Shut up!” the skin behind his neck where so soft, her blonde hair has grown at least a few inches since the last time he get to touch him, Taichi get scare for all the new scars on his lover back “ I'm serious”

“Im aware of that, im the lover of the King, i know everyday could be my last”

“I will never allowed that! i promise …” 

“stop, don´t do that” he saw him in confusion “ don´t make any promise” 

“I will protect you” 

 “That's my job” 

“I can…” 

“No you cannot!” Yamato yells  “I´m not afraid of death, look at me Taichi, im not a good man, im a bastard, a liar, a murder” 

“You are not…” 

“Yes im, and if you love me you must accept it , what we do is not right...  Taichi there are only two ways this could end”

“What are you talking about?”

“or I die, or worse”

“Or what?” he could not imagine something more horrible 

“Or you grow tired of me and you  find a new boy toy to fool around” 

“Don't ever said that again” 

“Is that an order you majesty?” 

“Yes”  

“Good, Then it's decided it,  i will die for you my love”

He wish to be stronger, wiser, to dream about something else than his blue eyes, to be selfless enough to make him go away from him; but by the end he was sure, there was no risk in this world he would not take for him.

The bells of the Light church rang at the sunrise. Queen and King wake up on the big bed. The King rolled over it and tried to cover himself with the bed sheets. 

“it is going to be late”  It wasn’t and order, but everything that Sora said feels like a comand now. 

Taichi turned to his wife. She undressed herself unceremoniously and walked naked until the dresser. For years both had kept themselves to some shy decor but shy had died on her wife. 

“You are going to miss your audiences” She said when she come out full dress and Taichi was still sitting over the bed on his bet´s clothes. 

She looked gorgeous on that big dress, it was embroidered with the Light emblems and it left place for the sword that Sora carried everywhere. 

“Your audiences” She insisted. 

“Yes, yes, I know. They can wait for me, I’m the King” Taichi said as he stand up and walked at the dresser. 

“I am on my way then. I had a reunion with the sisters on the morning, but I’m going to take the audiences of the afternoon” 

When she opened the door Yamato wasn’t standing outside. Nobody cared their door anymore. No one follow the Queen anymore. Taichi waited until Sora’s steps were far away to change his clothes. When he opened the door Hikary was waiting outside. 

“Brother” the girl said smiling. “Let me accompany you at the ceremony”

Taichi take a deep breathe. The words “I want to be alone” die on his troat.  Hikary take his arm and they walked together at the throne room. 

The royal guard was waiting on the throne room. Most of them wearing the Light armor, Yamato Ishida, royal guard and leader of the soldiers, wasn’t. 

The King crossed his look with the handsome soldier. Restrained himself to touch him had never costed him this much. 

“Brother” Hikary called him “Your majesty” she corrected promptly “We are ready to star”

Taichi sat on the throne. HIkary welcome at the guests of the ceremony and recited a five minute prayed. 

“I can’t believed they made us attended this” Kouji whispered at Takuya on the back line of the army.

“And you don’t go at the daily mass, they are longer everyday” the fellow soldier replayed.

“What is she wearing?”

“It is a ceremonial sister thing”

“It would be easier pay attention to her if she hasn’t three layer of clothes on”

“The sisters of Light are illuminated, it is supposed that if they don’t cover to head to toe when they pray they would break the souls of the weakness with her sacred grace”

“What?” 

A sshh called the attention of the soldiers. 

Hikary finally retired of the spotlight and Taichi stand up of the throne. Davis Motomiya knelt down in front of him. 

“Outrageous” Kouji said on a quiet voice “the man betrayed the King that he swore to protect and received a title”

“Is he that good?” Takuya asked.

“What?”

“Is he as good to be the new protege of the King?” the knight asked with disdain. 

“The protégé of the King?”

Izzy Izumi standed behind the young men and they shut up immediately. 

Kouji looked at Takuya. His brown eyes were glued at Motomiya, the guy had returned from the war with the favor of King, he was now his new apprentice, not Takuya. Kouji had seen Motomiya in action on the battlefield, if he had the favor of the King he can easily ascend on the royal guard. Kouji could had been worried about his own position on the royal guard, but the subtle hate on the eyes of Yamato Ishida when he accepted Motomiya on the guard were even bigger than the envy on the eyes of Takuya. 

When the little ceremony ended the supreme alchemist come close at the King and whispered something at his ear. Sorrow plasted on the face of the monarch. His eyes went to Yamato. The royal guard was at some steps of The King. 

“That concludes the ceremony, thank to all of you for coming”Hikary said with the sweetest voice “That the true god of Light enlighten your days” She said as she looked at Yamato. 

Kouji knew that look. That was the look that the enlightened had for him and his brother. That people always talk about saving the souls, but their solutions always were torches and murders. 

The King left the throne room. His sister followed him. 

Yamato left the throne room, but he cannot follow the king any more. The royal guard assemble the guard, it was time for training. 

Kouji had to admit that this was the funniest training that they had ever had. Yamato wasn’t subtle about his hate for Davis Motomiya, his exercises were excessive, no soldiers talk to him, he felt and get hurt. Even Takuya mock him. Takuya whose first move always was befriend the new recruits. 

Prince Takeru knel to help him when Motomiya felt for the third time. 

“It’s enough!” The Prince claimed. 

Yamato actually listened to him and called out the soldiers. 

“Your training are really hard, I’m not surprise of the good reputation of your army” Motomiya said at the prince with some tenderness. 

“The Captain need time” Takeru said.

“What?”

“If you act right, this could get better” The prince handed some water at Davis. Kindness was so strange to him right now. The prince was gone for when Davis tried to said thank you. 

“this could get better” Davis repeated to himself. Hope was never his strength. He was optimistic on the battles, but it was Ken and Iory work to do the planning. Ken and Iory. He shouldn’t miss the brothers that he betrayed. He missed Ken’s warm and Iory’s clarity. What would be their brothers advice on this situation? Ken would kill at anyone who mock him, he would made some cruel revenge plan. Iory probably would take it as a challenge, maybe he would try to win at the superiors, his little brother was good for that. Ryo would resolve this problem for him. But his master was gone and Davis was alone. He cannot plan a evil revenge or charming his way out. He did the thing that he do when he can’t do anything else. 

The afternoon came at the palace. It was quite and warm and Davis was boring, the trained had let him wounded and sad. He walked by the gardens through the hallways, until the big doors of the wall around the castle. Takuya and Kouji were guarding the doors.

“Where are you going?” Takuya asked

“I'm going to the port, I would come back by the sunset” Davis answered

“I dont think so”

“ i dont had orders to complete or anything to do here”

“You can't leave without permission” Kouji interested 

“Do we need permission to leave the palace-” Davis asked. The two soldiers look at each other with smuggled smiles.

“I don't think you understand what is happening”

“ You are just being mean” Davis accused them.

“mean?” takuya laughed “it is a way to said it”

A whinny interrupted the conversation. When Davis turned it was Yamato Ishida infront of him riding a black horse.

“What is happening here?” The royal guard asked

“Motomiya wants to leave the Castle” Kouji said

“ Trying to escape already?” Yamato looked down at Davis since the horse. 

“I'm not quicking I just want to visit the port” Davis claimed. He isn't scaping anything, he was a free man.

“You can't leave the castle, Motomiya”

“What? Why?”

“Orders of the King”

“Liar” 

Yamato get down of the horse.

“How do you call me?”

“You heard it”

Davis saw the fit of his superior officer and got ready to take the hit, but the hand of princes Takeru hold the elbow of the royal guard. 

“Yamato!” the princes called “what are you doing?” 

The older man shake it off his anger.

“I was going to teach a lesson to this vermin”

“I had a name” Davis said challenging Yamato, the blond turned to him with hate on his eyes. “I need to go at the port to pray, when did you go?”

“Excuse me?”

“You are too a son of the ocean as me”

“I’m nothing like you” Yamato claimed as get closer to the soldier.

“Every soldier of the King is a soldier of the Light” Takuya said firmly. Kouji grown smaller and Takeru and Yamato evaded his look. 

“I had seen the big walrus on your neck” Davis said at Yamato “You are a son of the ocean”

“SIlence!” Yamato scream and moved his hand with force “You don’t have the right to call the old names of the ocean, how you dare, you… dirty traitor”

The words of Yamato hang on the air, Davis listened it but need a few seconds to understand the meaning of the words. 

“I betrayed your enemies, I joined your army, I won your war, your men and your King are only alive because…”

“You betrayed YOUR KING! YOU KILL HIM!”

Yamato’s hand was over his sword and the hand of Takeru was holding his

“No”  Davis said “You are the one who killed Joe KIdo”

Takeru looked at Davis with surprise and slowly released Yamato. Finally he turned over himself to don’t watch the ugly show. 

The fist of Yamato finally hit Davis face. The young soldier tried to evade the second one, but Kouji hold him by the back and kept him in place. Yamato broke his lips and hit his stomach. Davis couldn’t breathe,he was only bleeding. Finally he hit the ground. Someone, probably Takeru, let him at the infirmary. 

 Davis wake up on a cold room, alone. The wall of the palace were probably the last wall that he had ever seen. He had been wrong, he wasn’t the protege of the KIng or a soldier of the royal guard, he was a prisoner and he was so far away of the ocean than no god would heard him. 

The old god had abandoned him. His master had leave him behind. His new King had lied to him. There was no more place to go. Davis entered at The Light church. There were angels and figures of old criatures singing and howling, there tails were long and there arms short. Davis walked for the corridors and stopped in the garden. 

The young boy stand next to the fountain and with a hand in the water and the eyes on the sky, he pray.  

A suddenly noise alerted him. He turned the head and saw her standing next to fountain, beautiful as a new day, an angel.  

“What hails you, brother?” The angel asked, but Davis has no words to share with so gracefull presence. He broke over her and cried all his laments. 

"Holy mother in heaven, shelter of the poor and support of the weaks" Hikary pray "show the way at this lost sheep". 

Since they balcony of the church Izumi watch the encounter with an impy smile.

The bedroom was slightly better than the cell.

Mimmi hold her new baby as her older child cuddle them over the bed. They were warm, had clean water and a meal. Joe kept looking at them with shine on his eyes and a smile on his face.

“Joe” the Queen said fondly..  

“My beautiful siren” the King answered kissing her hand sweetly. “you could rest here”

“And you?”

“The Light is going to attack tonight, they ships burned over the ocean, but I know that they are not going to stop, they still had a good number of soldiers”

“And the Wolf Knight” Mimmi said

“Mimmi...”

“You could win this war darling. I know we can protect the Islands and I know you love your people. But Yamato is your friend, Taichi is your friend. You think that you could...?”

“I am the King of the Honest Island” Joe said holding her wife and son's hands “I must to respond to my people, I owned them my loyalty. I can’t denied my people´s will just because is my friend who is standing on the way”

The Queen looked her husband put on the armor and hold his bow and arrows over his back.

“Give me a couples of days to heal and a pair of knives and I will kill all your enemies” She said.

Joe laughed and agree with a moved of his head. The hands of Mimmi itch at the thoughts of taking the arms again. All this time everytime that Mimmi talked about going herself at the battlefield Joe persuaded her to don’t do it.

“We could start with Ryo Akiyama” She joked, but the laughs last short “So it is really a war” She said holding her two children tighty.

“I’m sorry” He said

“I had seen worst”

“I’m sorry” He repeated.

The Sea King kissed her wife and allow himself to lose a little on that big eyes.

“I’m proud of you” He said at his son and kiss his front “I will return at dawn” the King said and he left.

There was fire on the coast. The float of The Light was lighting the sunset, the soldiers were saving what could be saving. Kouji found his master standing on the beach, looking at his army running and burning.

“Master” the young knight called “Do we know what happen?”

Yamato stand in silence, his eyes fixed on the flames.

“Master?” Kouji hurry to get close to him “How are we going to win this war without our float?”

The horse of the King arrived. The proud Knight of Light was mad.

“WHAT IS THIS!? ON THE NAME OF THE GREAT GOD OF…”

A sudden movement of Yamato interrupted him.

“Flaming arrows were shooting from that cliff, directly to our powders” the knight said without aparting his eyes from the boats.

“Who?” the King started a question.

“Who you think?!” Yamato said turning aggressively at the King.

He take the big walrus figure, ripped it from his neck and threw it at the sand.

“Yamato…”

“Save it!” the blonde interrupted the King again,  he hold tightly the sword at his hip and turned to his apprentice “You don’t win a war Kouji, you survive at it”.

They take the fastest ship that survived and sail with just the fundamental to the rebel’s base. Other very small portion of the army was closer on the slower least damaged ship. They wouldn’t be able to attack with all their strength, an infiltration was their best chance.

They arrived at the swarm, an irregular group of infertil islands were the insect abunded. Seven soldiers surrounded the base of the rebels looking for entries. Yamato found an easily to broke padlock on a barn and he, Kouji and Taichi entered with caution. A couple of steps, the lights went on and the door locked again: an ambush.

Davis, Ken and Iory were surrounded them. All the swords get unleashed.

The Forgotten Prince took a step farther.

“I want to talk to the Sea King” Taichi said stopping him.

“Say your peace” The Sea King spoke..

The knights and the King turned their attention at the second level of the barn, were Joe was pointing at them with an arrow. Ryo Akiyama was in the balcony in front of him with a similar weapon.

“Turned yourself at the greatest justice, accepted the punishment for your betrayed and order your rebels liders to do the same” The King said with no hesitation.

“In exchange of what?” Joe said without loosing his objective.

“Of avoiding an unnecessary slaughter”

“Recognize the independence of the Honest Islands and take your hypocritical Light’s doctrine out of my home” The Sea King commanded.

“No.” Taichi said, allowing himself to taste the sweet anticipation of the battle.

Yamato wants to look at Joe Kido, looks into his eyes and found a doubt. But Iory Hida was in front of him, and the wolf Knight knew that the slightest mistake will end with the Forgotten Prince avenging his father.

An arrow was fired.

The shine armor of the King get a scratch and the arrow bounce at the floor. Yamato recognized the powerful scent of the poison. They had to get away of that arrows.

Ken Ichijouji attacked at Kouji with force, Yamato would like to help him, but Iory was against him, every time that Yamato found an open on his movements an arrow make him step back. Joe choose his children and Yamato knew they are going to lose because of it.

Taichi attacked Davis first, he received him with a weak defense and a clumsy come back. The King felt the doubt on the young boy.

“You could do it” The King said “You are brave enough to do what they can’t”

Davis recomposed his battle position. Two feet over the ground, the head on the right place and his heart broken.

Ken Ichijouji fight with their blades. Kouji was a skilled swordsman, but the short distance of the battle style of his opponent taking him by surprise. Ken doesn’t look like he care when he lose a knife, he kept taking small weapons out of his pocket as they were candies. Finally, a whip trapped Kouji´s right hand, an unavoidable streak was coming. Kouji look the smile that he knew a lot of men had seen before died.

Ken felt the low kick on his left leg, he fall on his back, dropped his whip and felt the sword of Davis wounded him on a not vital spot.

He scream. Loud and bitter, breaking the battle.

Ryo Akiyama watched the treason that he was waiting for. He point his first arrow against Iory, that would allow the Wolf Knight to finished him. When he was releasing the shoot, he felt the pain on his right eye. The Sea King had shooted him a poison arrow. His own didn’t arrive at the Forgotten Prince.

Iory watch the arrow of his master miss his heart and heard the scream when Joe Kido shoot at him. Nobody survived at the poison of the Kido´s, but he didn't get time to think about it, he has just witnessed Davis betray.

Ryo moved himself away of the Sea King watch, removed the arrow of his eye. He can felt the poison getting inside him, he found inside his pocket for the old cursed beverage, recited the old spell and summon all the shadows that he could into his eye. How painful was the old magic.

Cody was surrounded for the Wolf and Light Knights on no time and not even the arrows of Joe could save him. Soon, he was tied next to Ichijouji, next to his brother, he was full of yells and reclaims, but he has no words for Davis, he was death for his eyes.

Yamato climbed the stairs quickly. He found Joe. A knee on the floor, an arrow ready to fly, his eyes looking directly at him. A solid position. He wasn’t running or crying or lost as that first time when Yamato found him in an ally on the market of the Honest Island.

Joe looked at Yamato. He was trembling, there was something bitter on his eyes, blood on his hands. And they are going to be more. It occurred to him, that Yamato didn’t really leave the old war, he kept leaving battle after battle.

He shoot the arrow, Yamato deflected it with a shield with The Light insight. Before he can prepare other, the Wolf Knight punch him on the face.  

They should had to talk about it. But when Yamato dragged him down the stairs only the filthy treats of Ken Ichijouji were audible. Kouji muzzled him.

“Joe Kido, The Honest Island Pacifier, The Sea King” Taichi said once Joe was tied and kneeling in front of him. “You are accused to betrayed the crown and …”

“I burned your ships, but I never betrayed my people” Joe interrupted.

“You know the punish for treason” The King said.

“Did you?” The King answered.

“Do you think this is going to end something?” Taichi scream “The Light would send more floats. Even if you get to kill me, my family will kept the power.”

“The living Land choose you as a King, and you choose to ruled by The Light´s rules. We choose the war because we know that what you was offering wasn’t peace.” The Honest Island Pacifier responded.

Davis watched his master going down the stairs and he hurried to help him.

Ryo Akiyama heard the King sentenced Joe Kido to die. The Wolf Knight stepped closed  to the accuser, Ryo felt a bit of envy, his eye was still burning, his magic had stopped the poison to enter at the bloodstream, but it's going to leave a mark. Hundreds of years murdering and he had kept his face beauty until this unjury.

Yamato Ishida unsheathed his sword, a sword that Ryo recognized for the days when he was an executioner at the order of the Cold King. Yamato had stolen that sword the day that he was going to kill Joe Kido and his trusted warrior. Funny thing that now the trusted warrior is going to kill Joe Kido. Ryo missed that sword, Izzy Izumi himself had prayed over it, maybe that's why he had never tried to steal it back.

The Wolf Knight rise the sword.

“Please don’t!” the Forgotten Prince begged “Please forgive him, this was my fault, I started this, he is innocent, please, let me take the punish”

But he was ignored. Soon his tears and sobbing stopped his own begging.

“Last words?” the King asked.

“Don’t kill the children” The Sea King pleaded.

Yamato down his sword. It cut the neck of Joe Kido and then breaks itself when it hit the ground. Yamato looked in horror the broken pieces get covered with blood. An uncertain and cold feeling through him.

A bad augury, Ryo knew.

Yamato is torn  betwen the memoryes of the old war and the challenge of the new one. 

Yamato likes to make an entrance, he enjoys  the movement of  the long cape, the strong walk, he push the doors with unnecessary strength; the throne room of the coral palace look exactly as the first time he walk through it, big blue walls, tall columns, sea shells incrust over the windols, but in the throne it was a different man, the shadow of the cold King look odd over Taichi Yagami

“Your Majesty requiere my service?” usually that would be enough,a smooth tone,a killing smile and Taichi would be on his arms,  but they were not alone, no matter how much Kouji pretend to blend into the tapestry, maybe they could send him away, close the door and call the day.

A tempting idea on the King mind, but he need to take care of the mater before he complete forgot why he call his knight, why he was so angry.

“Joe Kido escaped”

“I had no idea that the Sea King was our prisoner”

“Allow me to elaborate” Taichi continues “Joe Kido scape even after I asked you to watch over him…”

“He is out of his room, big deal…”

“He helped Motomiya Davis to escape and  they are on their way to the swarm” Kouji speak with sorrow in his voice and for one moment Taichi thought the surprise would keep Yamato speechless

“impossible” but he was wrong “Listen, he thinks he can reason with them, that somehow they are still his children…”  Taichi close his eyes tormented by what he was about to said

“It was an act of  treason”

“He is not…”

“I'm talking about you”

Death silence, Taichi must give Yamato some credit, he did not step back, instead he stand as tall as he was

”What?”

“You disobeyed my direct order”

“You can't be serious”

“You disobey an order of the King in favor of your friend in war time” Kouji said “That is the definition of treason” his nerves were contagious, his pupil remains kneeling without looking at any of them “one of many, master”

“So, what is this?” he hold his breath “a trial?”

His own voice resonate in his head, a trial, on the throne room of the coral palace; just as that time, to his left he saw the vestigios of the old jail, the site when he and his best friend where prosecute for crimes against the crown.

A fool he was, to young to be a coward, barely seventeen when he enlist on the army of the Islands, or at least that was his lie, everything to join Joe on his journey, they fought against the tropes of Genai, they saw their friends die, they march from the paradise to hell in a war without end, and after survived it they escaped.

Quit  the army was a crime punished with  death, and Yamato was sure that if Joe wouldn’t be a Kido their trials would be unceremonious.

And there, in that same throne room Joe had begged the King, stop the war! ours brothers are dying, and the Cold King just laugh

“No” Taichi answered and Yamato was force to back to the present, and his lover stared at him, behind his eyes Yamato recognize something that he has never saw before, not in him “I just need to know that is not gonna happen again” that he would not risk his life in Joe Kido´s name

“You are scared”

“That's not what I asked”

“You didn't ask anything” Taichi stand out while Yamato yell “ you want to lock me out? persecuted me for treason?”

“Yamato…”

He walked through the room waving his arms and shouting “The light will be delight  when you back home with my head in a pike!”

“that's not what I'm saying!”

“Then what the hell are you saying!?”

Kouji prepare his sword and Yamato hold himself,  the walls felt heavy over him, remains of others times fell over him, cold sweating cover his perfect blond hair “I mean…” a crack on his voice, words that he wants to said remains unspoken on his throat.

“I need to know that is not going to happen again…”  Taichi repeat, but this time it wasn´t an accusation but a plea, his right hand rest over his shoulder ” I need your word….”

“My word? How many promise I had done to you? I had swore my sword, my life, my loyalty, you own my secrets and my hea…” he suddenly stop and found the warm eyes of a man, not a King

“Joe Kido is a dangerous man, he allied with our enemies, he betrayed our cause” his hand hold stronger over his shoulder  “he knows to much….” Yamato felt the fire on his body, that was Taichi´s fear, that was why The Sea King was a treat “You hold on your old friend just as much as he hold on his lost children”

He cannot fight that, he cannot refuse the true, no matter how much he want it

“it will not happen again, I promise”

Somehow it´s feel like a lost, but Taichi smile with that beautiful grin he does every time before kiss him and almost feel worthy “we need to prepare for the assault to the swarm, get the tropes ready”  and the King walks through the door with  Kouji by his side and it was until they turned their back that Yamato speak again, loud and clear

“The summon alchemist”

“Excuse me?”

“He also knows to much, and Prince Takeru, I didn't told him but  he is quite perceptive and  your wife of course, I refuse to believe that she is that stupid”  he want to keep yelling, screaming, as usually he wants to fight and burn

The King stay quiet at his words, but Yamato was able to see the rage scaling by his body

“None of them are our enemies” His nervous eyes look at Kouji who once again pretend to be invisible “Their silence is a garantie”

“So, is not knowledge what you are afraid of but recognition”

“A secret remains only when no one talks about it”

“What do you know about secrets?” Yamato get close to him, none of them notice when Kouji left the room

“More than you!” good, he finally make him scream “Yamato listen! this is not about loyalties, please, this is about consequence, if people start to talk…”

All kings fear the same, Taichi was no different

“I must protect my Crown until the end, and if every son of the Island must perish then it will be like that”  The voice of the Cold King resonate on his memories, his laugh, the darkness on his eyes

“You would lose your crown”

“Do you think that is what scare me?” he look offended somehow  “that i would lose the throne if more people find out? no my love, we are not that lucky” he cup his face between his fingers “ I´m the champion of The Light, for them my life is priceless, Yours by other hand”

His life means nothing, he was pretty aware of that.

Who is this? The executioner said when he put first in line, when he defied the sentence, when he refuse to let his friend died

A war dog  And he remembered, he remembered the cold King´s look over him, it was the first time a noble man look him in the eyes and Yamato was sure that he was able to look over his own soul

He is too wild to be a dog, you are more stupid that I thought Kido, you adopt a wolf  In one of the brightest moment he disarmed the executioner You see? he is a beast, you wanna fight  pretty boy ?

In some on his nightmares Yamato still saw the cold King standing up of his throne,  picking of the sword and walking up to him, sometimes even he saw Joe hiding behind him.

What would have happened if any of his knights had helped the king? if his father had not taught him how to escape from the handcuffs? if the stolen sword of the executioner had not had enough edge?

He would never know, he had to live with what had happened, in whom he became, the sixteen years old Army defector, son of a hustler, murder of the King, The Wolf Knight.

“My love” Taichi´s voice was tender on his ears “You are here, but you are not”

Taichi who saw him with devotion, who hold him, whose greatest fear was his absence.

“It would not happen again, I promise” and this time, he mean it

Even when Joe Kido could not see them, he had no doubt that he had lost his fiercest defender. What he can see since the top of the cliff was The Light fleet. With a shaking hand he took an arrow and shot directly at the powder on the biggest ship, then he took another and another. Not a single shot failed. The Sea King watched the unbeatable fleet of The Light burn.

He adjusted the black cloak and hidden the coral crown, no guard saw him or Davis when they runaway, they were too busy trying to put down the incontrolable hell that he unleashed.

The war was over. It only remains the pain and the injuries. Yamato rested over his bed, the movement of the boat was a lullaby. His closed eyes a window at the horrors. The battlefield, the smell of the blood, the screams and the soldiers falling. Brothers of the Honest Islands against the army of the King. The ghost of his sword still on his hand and the arrows of Joe flying, aparting the enemies from him. They had win a battle, but his injuries were bad, the soldiers transported Yamato at the boat.

He closes his eyes and lets the movement of the boat lullas him. A knock at the door. It must be Joe, all concerned by his health, panicking already.

Taichi entered at the room with a discreted smile over his face.  

“We won” The King said and then, Yamato remembered the horrors of this war. “How are you feeling, Love? are you hurt?”

Yamato didn’t answered, but his hand found Taichi’s

“Kouji had send the news at The Capital, the pigeons are going to arrive before us. They are gonna received us with a big fest for shure”

The injuries burn inside Yamato, maybe Iory hadn’t hit him so much, but he had fight at the limit of his strength. Any way, the little menace is going to have worst.

“Davis Motomiya and Ryo Akiyama are on the boat behind ours, some of our best soldiers are watching them”

Fourteen, Iory Hida had only fourteen, the age that he had when he went at the war for the first time. How few you know at fourteen years old.

“I know you don't like them, but I can see good on Motomiya, I’m glad that he join us. And the summon alchemist had told me some things about Akiyama, for what I understand he is all talk and no action”

Joe Kido was death.

“You need to rest” Taichi said and kiss him sweetie “You look bad, I´m gonna send someone to attend you”

He killed Joe Kido and he was crying with Taichi on his arms, who kiss him and clean his tears and talked about nonsense bullshit that Yamato couldn't care less about.

“You were right, Yamato. I didn't understand what war was” Taichi said and hold his lover’s hand when he closed his eyes. Yamato was tired and the ship kept moving. At the end, he heard the voice of the King, reciting with a  musical cadence “ Forgive me God because I had sin, forgive the soul of the fallen. True God of Light, heal the sick, protect the weak…”

.

.

The war had been a mistake. Davis was thinking while he walk. The Light ship was big, the tropes were organized and fast. They weren't as the tropes that he had commanded. How much they could had avoid if his brothers would had listen to him? If they hadn’t be taken by the heat and the hate? He was in the winner said of the war, but he had lose so much.  

“You did the right thing” his master said rounding his shoulder with his arm “History will give you the reason, believe me, I know about wars”

“My brothers…”

“They made mistakes” Ryo said “Big mistakes, that are on them, not on you”

“But I felt…”

“Betrayed, disappointed, maybe alone, those are perfectly reasonable feelings, but listen to me young man” Ryo take him by the shoulders and look at him directly at the eyes “ Never felt guilty for winning”

A moment of silence. The looks of the two men were intense and Ryo could feel the brain of Davis processing his words.

“That scar is horrible” Davis said and his master punch him on the head.

“You thing I didn’t know it?” Ryo claimed “I’m going to use a eye patch forever”

The scar of the poison arrow that Joe throw at his eye. The sea King failed at kill him, but he let him desfigurated, his precious face was now marked. What is his wife going to think?

“It's not that bad”

“That is good lie, son” Ryo said recovering his usual confident posture “We are going to need more of those”

“Master?”

Ryo walking him at the least crowley part of the ship.

“Going at the King side was the right move, but don’t get confused, The Light is still the enemy”

“Our enemy?”

“The enemy of humanity” Ryo said with undeniable certainty “The brothers and sisters of The Light are the lovers of the evil. Under any circumstance you must trust them. Over all never, never trust the summon alchemist, Koushiro Izumi is the worst”  

“Koushiro Izumi?”

“Memorice the name Davis, is the name of the devil”

“The war is over, why we are still worry about enemies?”

“Oh Davis, enemies are not a business of war, is life”

The tone of his master was jovial, but Davis felt sadder every minute.

“I’m not going with you at the Capital”

“What? Why?” Davis said alarming

“The Light is there, and they don’t like me very much, but don’t worry, I’m not going to lose the track of you. I will come back for you, you just need to remember my wise advice, okey?”

“Don’t trust The Light”

“Specially...?” Ryo asked

“Don’t trust Koushiro Izumi”

“See, you are ready for the real world, Davis”

A pat in the back and Davis felt his world trembling.

.

.

.

The ships of The Light arrived at The Capital. White pendants where everywhere and despite the sun of the summer women are wearing long shirts and men all the buttons fastened. A Light committee was waiting for the King, the summon alchemist in person leading.

“Kouji”

The knight heard his name and turned himself to found his brother on the ship.

“Kouchi! What are you doing?” Kouji asked noting the casual clothes that his brother was wearing.

The brothers hug each other, happinest and release were palpable.

“You are alive, Kouji!” the youngest twin exclaimed “I don’t had much time, The Light had forbidden the entranced of warlocks and wizards at the first circle of The Capital”

“What?!”

“But I had to see you, the news of your victory are flying, brother. The moon knight, is how everyone is calling you, they said you won the battle of the Ikkaku Island”

“We won together, Kouchi” said Kouji with tears on his eyes “It was your sword the one who give me the victory”

“I had to leave soon, but I’m steading on the old house of my mother, at the end of the city”

“Kouchi…”

“I’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Kouji look around himself, the symbols of The Light were for all the city, they were no merchants on the streets and the festive music sounding was a praying at the true God of Light. Kouji hold his sword and his brother’s arm and walked to found Davis Motomiya, it was his duty to escort him and his master to land.  

Davis and his master were talking on a corner of the ship.

“You both had to come with me” The knight commanded.

The two foreign look around them with fear. On land The Light Committee was talking at The King. The summon alchemist turned his head at the second ship, were the four men were standing. Kouchi and Ryo Akiyama kneel to cover themselves of the look of Izumi.

The two men look at each other with surprise.

“Not a fan of The Light?” Ryo asked.

“Lets said that I more slippery that the other warlocks”

“Ryo Akiyama”

“Akiyama? I’m Kouchi Kimura, my mother had a lot of stories about you”

“Kimura? You are the son of the dusk witch? ”

“I am the dusk warlock now”

“Awesome…”

“Guys” Kouji interrupted “I had to escorted Davis and Akiyama at land.”

“Oh boy, I’m not going to land, believe me, the next war is going to start as soon as the alchemist see me” Ryo said as look with curiosity at the two identical boys.

“twins” said the brothers at unisone.

“Nice”

“You can stay in my house” Kouchi offered “Any person who hide from the summon alchemist is welcome”

Kouji coughed a little.

“Come on, brother do it for the dusk in the universe”

“Alright, but Motomiya is coming with me”

“Thank you, I own you one, pretty boy” Ryo said

“He is the moon knight” Kouchi corrected him.

“Whatever” Ryo responded “Don’t forget my advise, Davis”

And after a last warning the two men scuttled out of the ship.

Kouji knew that he had disobeyed direct orders but if The Light had this much power now the heretics had to help each other more than ever.

.

.

.

The festive on The Capital was opulent. Taichi saw with enthusiasm the long pendants on the street, there was music that he didn’t heard since his time on the old Light monastery and the sisters of Light are wearing their festive attire. He turned his head to saw at Yamato, but the eyes of the knight were lost on a wall of the street when the words <king predator> were written over a draw of a wolf head. Taichi new Yamato was a little lost, a peaceful time on the palace will help him. They could organize a haunting travel when the festivities were over. He had ending the war, the people couldn´t ask him more than that. It was true that The Light had take some liberties at his absent, but the King is back, he wish nothing more that return at his old day to day life.

HIkary and Takeru were waiting at the entrance of the palace. The face of the King and the Knight illuminated when they saw their little siblings. Taichi could hug his sister, for Yamato and Takeru a careful <master you are back> was enough for Yamato to fall at the floor.   

“Yamato” Takeru called alarmed.

“He is tired, he hadn't rest well” The King spoke “Prince Takeru, please scorted The Wolf Knight at the infirmary”

Takeru hurry to accomplish the order, Taichi knew that the time with his brother will help Yamato more that anything else.  

“Brother” HIkary called him with tears on her eyes “Thank the True God of Light you come back”

“The Honest Islands are in peace” The King said with pride “we had made sacrifices but all had been for the good of my people”

“Your victory is not the only miracle that God has conceived us your majesty” Koushiro said with the biggest smile that Taichi had ever see him.

“What you mean?”

“On your absent the Queen had converted at The Light” HIkary said.

“What!? Sora converted? What said the Queen mother?”

Hikary and Koushiro saw each other with sadness.

“The Queen mother was murdered by some foreign assassins”

“Assassins? for where?”

“Your highness” Koushiro said “It looks like the crown had more enemies that we thought”

“How is my wife?” Taichi asked, Sora and her mother were opposite poles but they were as close as the storms and the clouds, she had to be devastated.

“The Holy Queen is illuminated, brother”

There were something on the way that Hikary said the title that made Taichi freeze his blood.

The King finally come back at the throne room. White flowers and golden feathers were decorating the room. In the center was the Queen, sat on the big throne of the King. wearing a gold armor with a embroidered phoenix next to The Light symbols, the crown shine over her head and the big sword of the King Gennai was tide it at her wip. Beautiful was not the word that Taichi would use to described her, she was illuminated, but it wasn't the kind warm light that Hikary irradiated when she heal his wounds, it was the light of fire, violent and free, burning the world.

The Queen stand up before Taichi could order her to leave the throne. She walked toward him and with the fakest of the smiles she said.

“I had been waiting for you”.

His wife was in front of him, holding his hands. HIkary and Koushiro were each one at one side of him. He had come back home. He had won the war. The Light had won the war.

His stomach hurt, god, he didn't remember the time of his last meal, it doesn´t matter; everything in his mouth taste like ashes, his hands sweat and his head feel like a ticking bomb, every light was to bright, every sound was to loud.

Joe had lost everything, his children, his wife, his son…

Taichi speak nonsenses since the throne, since Joe´s throne, funny how he continues to lost things: his Kingdom, his authority, his sanity

What time it was? what day? it´s feel so much like to the old days, those days he had lost everything too.

His brothers, his youth, his freedom

Each one of his brothers went to war and comes back in a black coffin; the old island war; the cold King again Genai the usurper; How many children of the island died in the old war?

The war would take his children too? he alloud himself to think about Davis,noble and carefree Davis, big mouth Davis, the kid with endless energy, the boy who eat every meal as if it would be his last, traitor Davis, hostage Davis.

“Can i speak with him?” he wish to sound less desperate, less concern

“I don't think that would be a good idea” Yamato speak as a friend, still Joe could see Davis blood over his knuckles

Yamato, the one that he had never lost, yet.

Sometimes, in the rainy days when Ken was still a boy and brood around the castle with his black cloak and heavy books Joe usually recall about Yamato; and treats him with the same patient and comfort that he would treat his old friend; in another life when Ken would become enough skill with the sword Joe would send him away to the capital; to train with his best friend, to learn for the masters and be the best swordsman of the land.

In the life that they had lost

“Your Sea Majesty, Jou, Jou!”  his response was slow and confuse “Jou, the king of all land ask you a question”

The King watch him with impatien; it has to be something about the heirs, they where so use to be instantly obey, that make them temperamental, a mistake that Joe made with his own son, and sadly with Iory.

No, he don't want to think about Iory

“Davis said that Iory Hida is prepare to surrender” but since when did he get what he want? “That somehow is his Master who refuse give up, do you know anything about  this master? we don't have to much information about him” Beside been next to him their voices sounds like an ecco

But Joe negate with head, he has no energy to think about Ryo Akiyama; Iory wants to surrender, a marvelous new, the prodigy son could still do the right thing. If they defeat Ryo the children would surrender, and then what?  He look at the blood in the hands of his friend one more time

“We cannot make the same mistake twice” Yamato speak with the hate in his voice answering a question that Joe was afraid to ask “Even if they surrender we cannot forgive them”

“They are children” They are my children

“ They were children, they are men now, men who betrayed you, they attack  the King!” his blue eyes doub for an instand “If we give them the oportunity they are gonna kill you Joe, i will not give them that oportuity”

The silent embrace the room, Joe knows that Yamato only has good intentions and the guilt hit him, he wish that he was willing to stop him, if Yamato where his knight a simple order will be enought. Why Yamato agree to serve Taichi was a mystery for him.

“Do you have any idea where the rebels are hiding?”  Taichi interrump what it feel like a private moment

Ideas? He has plenty of ideas, tousan of theories but just one that make sense “The swarm”

“The swarm!” Yamato recall “of course” and along with him jump over the map that hang out the wall; Taichi look at them in confusion “Is a group of small island in the south; they are many, at least a dozen, but the ground is rocky and infertile, access is dangerous if you do not know the place, but is the perfect hide”

Joe hate the way Yamato talk to the King, as if he was an ignorant child, a sweetness that was unusual in him

“That is the place to which we must move our troops” Taichi celebrated

Joe despise how the King look at his friend, as if he belonged to him, as if he was one of his properties.

“But we must be careful, they must have lookouts on the routes, those are dangerous waters”

The hand of the King travel to his knight shoulder “I'm sure you can manage it” fondly eyes and meaningful smiles, they move together in a synchrony that was ridiculous; again they remind him to his lost children: Ken and Davis use to move like that too.

A thought that make him feel like the most stupid man alive,  a sudden revelation that snap him back to reality, he knew Yamato, he knew his past and his hearth, be the lover of a upper class gentleman was no strange behavior for him, but this…  he cursed the ocean and the sea

He stand out as tall as he was “For how long?”

“Well i hope not to much” Taichi´s smile offended him “i mean.. we want to end this war as soon as possible right?”

But Yamato notice his change of attitude, and for Joe annoyance he put himself between he and the King.

Maybe the revelation wouldn´t hurt that much if it wasn´t for the lies, the hypocrisy, Taichi, the king of the light, the light who persecute and imprison impures...

“Joe what´s wrong?” Yamato try to approach to him but Joe shake and come far from them, he can´t even look at his friend anymore

“Sora knows?” he try to yell “did she?” memories of the dozen of letters he share with his dear friend flash before his eyes, her loneliness, the rumours about her health...

Taichi´s grin broke down “How do you know? i mean.. what are you talking about? “

The smartest thing would have been to keep quiet, keep his suspicions to himself, avoid claims to the most powerful man in the continent “You know very well what i´m talking about Taichi Yagami!” but he has lost his patient too “You are a fraud, you broke the votes you made to your so acclaim god”

Taichi stay stuned by Joe accusations

“You don't even denied, did any law mean anything to you?” Joe try to make sense in his mind, both of his hand rest over the table, “Do you think you own him? that…. that you can use people like him just because you have power over them!”

“He is not using me!” Yamato reacts “Its not like that, please stop!”

Joe turn to him, no longer avoiding his eyes “I expect more from you”

His words hit the Knight more than any sword did before, Yamato clench his teeth and contain the sorrows “Well… that was your mistake”

“who are you to judge him? you…” the king yell at him ” Everything you own has been earning by his hand, he fought for you! he Killed for you! he won for you! you are not alloud to… you  have no right…”

“You have no idea what are you talking about”

“You either,  you think you know him better than me? Do you know that he spent these years pleading  to come to your rescue? he was so sure all of this was too much for you "

Joe take a stept back, was than true? a look at Yamato and he knows  Taichi was right, but the rage has no disappear “You have a wife”

“You too! but if you ask me you see more concern about those ungrateful bastards that you call your children than for your actual family!”

If he could, he would hide behind the table, close the curtains of the windows and demand everyone to leave him alone, Taichi dealt a fatal blow to the little that remained of his emotional stability.

“They are the ones who need to be saved, you do not know mimi, she ... she is an extraordinary woman, I have no doubt that she has the strength to ... to protect our son and herself; and despite everything I trust that Iory will not allow them to hurt her "by saying it out loud, with Yamato and Tai judging him, he realized that he sounded even more foolish than when he repeated it to himself.

A nock of the door force them to calm down, or at least pretend to be

“Sir, I´m so sorry” Kouji enters the room with a small chest between his hands “A letter from the rebels and this” The three of them rush into the package, Taichi took the letter that was address to the Sea King

“They demand that we free the Ikkaku Island and thet we release Davis, a proof that we are serius… what they mean by that?”

Joe open the chest and his world collapse

He lost control, he lost hope, and dear god on the abyss Mimi lost an eye

“We are not gonna surrender, they are blaffing, this is a sig of desperation” Yamato try in vain to encourage him while Taichi make an efford to not trow up.

Ryo finally was showing his cards, this must be his work, Iory was burning the ships, who knows who else would drag him along.

“My son…” he barely speak  before  storm out of the room

“follow him” Taichi order “and Yamato…” he came closer  “make sure he doesn't make or said anything stupid”

.

.

.

Yamato found him on his room, crying and shaking

“I would found them “ Joe look at him, without worried for hiding his tears “I would keep my promise, i would save the queen and the Prince” he sit next to him “you know i will”

“Do i?” a bitter laught “I don't know who you are anymore”

“Or you do” Yamato lay down “ I don't need to tell you anything, you just know…”

“Still it would had been nice if you just told me” but he smile with an apologize between his libs, just as he use to do, and a tiny light of hope ignite inside of him; that was Yamato, his defender, his friend, maybe they could save his family, all of them “What about Iory and Ken?”

“Taichi doesn´t understand your fixation with those kids, Joe… to be honest me either…”

“And i don't understand your fixation with the King, He is... “

But all  hope crumbled as soon as it appeared, three words and Joe knew Yamato would never been in his side again

“I love him” and even worse “And.. i think he loves me”

Such a profound declaration, a much more horrified secret  

“Yamato… this is not right” such a waste of words, Yamato has done so much for others in the name of respect, honor, friendship, but love? he knew, sadly, that Yamato has never feel loved before.

Now there was nothing in the world that Yamato was not able to do for Taichi

He had lost his friend, just like he had lost everything else

“But I understand ” he lied “ I´ll not said anything, i just need to be alone for a while, please, i´m sure that you have a lot of things to get ready before the assault to the swarm”

With a smile Yamato leave him alone, and Joe waits impatien until the door close behind him and he hear his steps go far away for rush to his suitcase, he took his arrow and bow  and carefully, afraid and decided he sneak out of his own castle.

The alarm sound around the fortress, Ken ran until the bridge, great  another crisis, as if they need more, more defeats, more losses. more mistakes.

Intruders! was all  he hears from the towers, good, some stupid soldiers he could kill “Prepare the defenses!” he order, anxious for the trill, anything that cover his overwhelming guilt.

“NO!” Iory yells since the upper floor “Open the Gates!”

“Are you crazy?!” he longed for the day when he would not receive orders from a prince without a throne

“Open the gates!” Iory repeat and  Ken clench his teeth, he was so tired, the swords on his hands feel heavy, the soldier in the tower look at Ken and then at the prince “Open the dam gates!”  The storm winds surrounded them “Didn't you hear me?” Iory walked toward the tower “Open the gates!”

Ken saw the heavy doors moved slowly, opening the only way through the walls of the rebel fortress, the salty breeze was the first thing that entered and just after, with the golden glow of a miracle, Davis ran into his arms.

His hair smelled to smoke and fire, his clothes had blood stains  but his voice was comforting; Ken felt his eyes fill with tears, he smiled at his little brother who was  looking at them from the top floor; Iory was wright, he was wrong and Davis was in his arms, everything was back in place.

And they hug, Ken wait for a kiss, Davis  wait for an apology, both get disappointed

But Davis was not alone, a hooded figure accompanied him, Ken recognized his steps immediately, he had walked behind them for too long.

He raise his sword

“No!” Davis warn him, he was so sick of everyone telling him to stop “he help me to scape, he is with us now”

Oh, his love was so stupid, so naive, so trusted, the Universe has give them the opportunity to kill the Sea King, they must take it..  

“what are you doing here?” Iory  reach until them, shock as everybody else for the intruder,  Davis didn't yell at him when he approach Joe, and Ken realize he has no decision to make, once more he must be left aside so Iory could be the lider

“I'm looking for my family”

“They are our prisoners! you know our demands” Iory tried to sound menacing and fails miserably  “we are not gonna surrender, not to the light!  have you seen the things they have done!? we are gonna keep fighting for what is right!” he shouted

“Iori…”

“You should not come here without a proper guard”  he stutter, more than any other time he looked like a child, Joe come near to him “You cannot…” the King kneel and put one hand over his shoulder

“I'm looking for my family”  the young boy  was about to break “I miss my wife and my children so badly” his breathing stopped “all my children”

The weakness of his supposed lider disgusting him, Iory was crying over Joe shoulder, whispering apologies and excuses, and of course Davis join them in no time; the rebellion dies with every tear

“We are not gonna surrender” he yells, voice deep and proud “If they send you to convince us is not gonna work”

Joe stand up in front of him, sweet words never worked on Ken

“Me neither” so he talked as a King “the light is not gonna take control over the islands, we are gonna fight for our independency”

“Are you gonna fight?”

“I already did” he raise his bow and shout, so the entire fortress could listen “the flotilla of the light is burning right now “ all cheers, all except Ken Ichijouji  “I set them on fire” he couldn't avoid the feeling that the rebellion has a new leader “now” Joe keep talking directly to him “Where is my wife?”

“Mimi!” Iori scream “I almost forgot! Joe she needs you, i mean.. she need a doctor”

The sea King lost the few color that remain on his face and ran behind Iory, before Ken could follow them Davis grab his wrist.

It's feel different, urgent.

“We need to talk”

.

.

.

Ryo Akiyama had acquired many talents over the centuries, not only was he skilled in more than a dozen weapons and fluent in almost thirty languages, he also possessed survival skills that he had perfected over the years, almost as much as his skills of deception and improvisation,  one of the advantages of having lived hundreds of years is that few things surprised him, because only on rare occasions was the first time he faced a similar problem.

This was one of those rare occasions

Mimmi yells and scream, she was in pain treating with kill him, the water around her was cover in blood, she has fever, she was dying.

They had no midwives in the rebel fortress and  their last doctor died in the assault on the Ikkaku island, there were less than fifteen women in the rebel ranks and none of them volunteered to assist the queen.

So there was Ryo, holding the hand of a woman who wanted him dead, killing her would be so easy and he feel so tempting, but Mimmi was his only safe, the only thing that prevented the light from killing Davis, she should not die.

He need a miracle, she need a doctor and a doctor walk through the door, and Ryo knews he must run.

Joe Kido betrays the light, defiance the King of all land, rescued Davis, join the rebellion and  come just in time to assist his wife in delivery, in somewhere the gods were laughing at him.

“My love” he shout with tenderness “My love i'm right here”

Iory accompanied him, carried all the weight of his decisions; they almost didn't notice him, almost.

“Joe” Mimmi comes in sense “what take you so long?” she was weak and hurt but still make an effort to reach her husband “don´t look at me!”

“You look beautiful” he cares his face and stares at her missing eye, both started to cry in silent “As beautiful as always”

“I'm so sorry…” Iori cries

“How it happened? “ Joe rush “ no, later we would discuss it, first we need to…”

“Was all my fault!” the little prince couldn't control himself and Ryo resist the urge to shut him up

“No, It wasn´t” Mimmi interrupted “It was Ryo Akiyama”

The three turn to him and he look at Iory  and surprise, he shut up; part of him feel proud of the Prince, Iory only lies when it's matter

The queen smile, the women of the desert did not threaten in vain, but the pain hit hear again, sweat and tears and blood; it was among her screams that he took advantage to sneak out.

Between him and Joe, Iory would chose Joe in a heartbeat, he could not blame him, if he must choose between him and his brothers, Ryo wouldn't pick Iory, either. He has one and only one priority.

“Davis!” he call him as soon as he distinguished him “You lucky boy!” he was all he need,  they could use the birth and the arrival of the King as distractions, flee as soon as dawn, live to fight another day, take a boat and join Ruki on the other side of the world, Piramide was beautiful on this time of the year.  The only real problem was Davis boyfriend, he would never leave without IchijoujI.

O maybe he will

“Seriously? is that your excuse?” Davis was yelling “I asked you for space? I said i need time to think not that you where free to sleep with the first girl you met!”

“It was three years ago! why do you care?” Ichijouji defends himself  “it didn't mean anything! listen! she didn't mean anything to me”  unlike Iory Ken lies as a second nature  

“So why didn't' you tell me? why I need to found out from our enemies?! I looked like an idiot!”

“Well that's not a challenge!” Davis gasp, the anger get stuck in his throat “I mean.. I´m sorry, I.. listen I don't even know how they know, I never told anyone and we never talk again after that”

“Davis!” Ryo interrupted  “Davis what is happening?”

“Master” the boy jump at him but Ryo knew  something was wrong, Ken saw it as an opportunity to get out  “Where are you going?”

“Davis please, can we discuss this later?” he take a few steps far

“Later? when?” but Davis didn't let him “ in another three years?”

“Davis! ” Ken change his tone drastically “ my love please, you just come back” he hold his hand “and I missed you so much, i.. i thought you were death”

“Don't  said that” Ryo feel ashamed that Davis fall for such a cheap  trick “they barely touch me, must of the time we just talk, they try to recruit me”

“But i tough, i love you, i don't wanna fight for one stupid mistake so, what do you said if you go and clean yourself while i finish my duties and we talk about this later, when we are calm” it was not a suggestion, Ken leave before Davis could answer

“what was that about?”

“Nothing”  Davis was the only one  of his students that didn't know how to lie “i mean, nothing important; he cheat on me a few years ago, King Taichi told me”

“I'm so sorry” Ryo by other hand was an excellent liar “but how? when?”

“When we went to the desert” Davis laugh “we fight for like a couple of hours and he sleep with Mimi´s sister”

“Queen Yolei? Are you kidding me?”

“no, in fact  she… she has a son,  a blue hair white son”

“You didn't tell Ken” the teacher had underestimated the student, maybe it was time to put the pieces on the board

“You know” Ryo hug him  “I like Ken and everything but you don't need him” maybe the gods where no laughing at him after all  “just said the words and he would not wake up tomorrow” Davis smile but something feel out of place “wait, the king told you? ” why the King would like to break Davis from his brothers? “ They tried to recruit you? What did they offer to you?

A baby crying shook the fortress, another prince of the islands was born, how much time was left to Ryo before Joe decided he should pay for his crimes? He must have killed him a long time ago, when he used the executioner's mask and Joe was nothing more than a scared soldier.

“Hey listen to me” Ryo hold him from his shoulders “You don't own nothing to this people”

“What?”

“To the islands, you, me, we are our own people, we don't belong to anywhere”

“Master what are you talking about?”

“Listen!” the soldiers were gathering around the hall, is a girl! someone yells as if it was important “Iory is right now with King Joe, he has chose him, someone has to pay from the wars crime and is not gonna be Iory”

“Joe said he is gonna forgive us”

“Yes, and he swears loyalty to Taichi and said he would married Yolei but he didn't, do you think Mimmi is gonna forgive us?”

“I didn't take his eye”

“no, but you where the face of the rebellion, the leader the people follow, your brothers were jealous  of you, do you believe it was an accident that you were the one they left behind?”

“Master!”

“Iory would sell all of us for Joe forgiveness and Ken, well… now we know we can trust him, If you have a way out of here i would be with you, did you understand?”

He saw his student suffer for his heartbroken, they were so many lessons he still has to teach him but the most important  was that  they must do whatever it takes  to survive

ACT 3. ESCENE 3: RED DRESS: 

The Queen Sora tries to live with the problems in the palace that the war had caused.  

The Crown had declared the veto. On the Capital of the Living Land it was forbidden the loud music, the festivals and the civil unions. The Light dedicated all its religious mass at the well being of the King, the pagans painted black signs over their doors and every child that dare to born on the time of the veto was named after the King or one of the heroes that hadn’t return to home yet.

On the middle of the angst of the city, was The Queen, inconsolable woman who soon could be an inconsolable widow, left behind without a heir.  Sora tried her best to pass all her anger for sadness. Taichi had left her to fight in a war that didn’t need him, just to pass his time on the company of some beauty that wasn’t she; and if he died by his stupid decision the royal family, The Light and the royalty of the Burning Mountains are going to argue all over if she had to conserve the throne or it is going to pass to Hikary Yagami, who hold the blood of The King. The right to be Mother Queen.

“Mother Queen” a soft voice called Sora.

To her surprise it was Hikary Yagami the only one who called that. The irony of the life she gues.

“Mother Queen” Hikary called again “The kids wish to sing a song on your honor”

She passed the morning listened at the children, surprised that they can sing when they barely eat. She could go at the orphans and the refugees and let the people get amused by her present, but no matter how many times Hilary explained the blesses of the crown, the Queen still felt that standing and clapping was quite useless.

At least the young girl has recovered the color of her face. Sora cannot stopped to remember the trembling of the girl who jumped of the balcony.

“Thank you, for all of this Mother Queen” the girl repeated with dearest “You truly doesn’t need to do me any favor”

“Don’t talk like that” the queen answered “you are part of my kingdom and the sister of my husband, we are family Hikary”

Takuya opened the door of the royal carriage and the princes and the Queen found them face to face of Takeru who was guarding the Queen.

Hikary left the carriage with hurry and run discreetly at her chambers. The prince was a statue looking at her missed steps and as soon as the Queen called for him he left, leaving Sora alone with Takuya.

“You had to apologize at the prince, your majesty, he is passing…”

But the Queen just walked by him and entered the castle. The day was young and she was unoccupied. She was bored of the drama of the children. Hikary Yagami had to be able to get the vows at the Light and Takeru must to married one of the many, many girls who would jointly passed the rest of her days with the handsome prince. But the life wasn’t that easy.

Walking by the palace, she heard voices on the war room.

“I assure you that your fears are senseless” it was the voice of the summon alchemist “the King is going to come back victorious”

“You cannot know that” it was the voice of her mother “we hadn’t  had notices from the expedition since they left, it is a war, he could be death”

“I trust that the true god of the Light would kept him safe”

“And I know that I am not the only one worried by the survived of The King”

“Madame?”

“Or are you going to tell me that The Light has no words about the married of the sister of the King”

“The wellbeing of our sister Hikary is one of my biggest concerns and you had know by now that I had insisted with the King and Queen of the burning mountains to aloud their daughter to do the vows” Said the alchemist after an unusual pause. The heart of the Queen raised at the possibility of freedom for the poor girl.

“The married of the princess of the mountain and my nephew is a trick to snatch the throne from my daughter”

“I don’t really understand why you called me to this reunion, your highness”

“Because the cousin of the King is serving on the army of The Light and if the King doesn’t come back my daughter is going to need to marry him as soon as possible”

Before the Summon Alchemist answered Sora opened the door.

“Mother!” the Queen scream “what are you doing?”

“Darling, you come back early”

“What are you doing?”

“Some business with the summon alchemist, nothing that you had to care about”

“How you dare? how you dare to discuss my remarried when the King is still in the war and at my back”

“This is not are your back” the oldest woman said as she fans herself with boredom.

“Don’t you think that I had to be present to discuss my own marriage?”

But the mother didn’t answered.

“It is my duty as the royal adviser and your mother to look after you, darling”

“Majesty” Sora said “you had to call me Majesty, I am the Queen”

Toshiko stand up and left the room without hesitation.

Sora stayed, imagining a thousand of ways to stab her.

“If you allow me to said it” the summon alchemist talked “the King is going to came back with life”

“I don’t allow you to tell me nothing” the Queen said “You are not qualified to give me any advice”

The Queen turned the back at him and walked at the door.

“You must converted at the Light” the man said “you need better advices that the ones that your mother could give you, your majesty”

Sora closed the door behind her, letting the mysterious man alone.

Her mother want to married her again, her husband could be death or loving another person and the woman who was her biggest threat was the kindness and sadness  girl that Sora had never know.

The castle was in silent when the night arrived. Sora was tired of the stillness. The dresses weighed over her body,  the mute of her mother and her court were even heavier on her heart.

She undressed herself and take the black hood over the old dirty armor that she had stolen some years ago.  As so many nights before The Queen opened her widow and scaped  to came to the highest room of the highest tower of the castle. She closed the door and ignited the torches on the ceiling. Only the birds on their nest wake up.

Sora knew that this secret was also a lie. The Light was watching. The guard could see the light turning on in the tower. Takeru was skilled enough to noted her absent. Even then, she needed to do it this way. So everyone could lie to each other.

She had a sword, a bow, an axe and a spire. And a little room. And her anger, her energy to waste against imaginary enemies. The wedding dress was hanging close to the door, she could cut it the times that she wanted and sew it together the next morning. A pass of her sword and it was parted again, the heavy skirt fell to the ground as the breastplate was still haggin of the ceiling.

How much she hate that dress. She cursed the day of her wedding, when the Light come to overshadow her father's legacy. When Taichi made her promises that he cannot fulfill. When her mother sell her to best bidder.

She was sweaty, tired of moving the sword, to jump and exercise for a war that she cannot win. Why everyone could fight except she? If only she could left the King, punished him for his ridiculous coldness, if only she could kill Izzy Izumi.

She stopped at the thought. The summon alchemist, the head of the Light on the Capital, death by her hand. She could started a real fight against The Light. What a silly thought. A silly and stupid child hidden in a tower imagining killing the men that make her unhappy.

A noise on the stairs and the Queen turning to saw at the intruder.

“What are you doing here?”  Her mother asked with an annoyed tone.

“You know what I am doing here”

“You are embarrassing yourself and me”

“Yes, this is so about you”

“Well, if I it’s not me, why don’t you tell me what is wrong, darling?”

“What you think? The Kingdom, the war, the people on the street with hunger and cold, the Light hunting sinners, the name of my father dying and you doing nothing to help it.”

“I have done everything to help you.”

“You married me with a liar!” Sora yelled.

“I married a liar! All the Queens had married liars and murders and stupid, stupid men, Sora, that's what we had to do.” Toshiko scream too “I convinced a King to married me with tricks and low lies so my daughter could had dozens of kings fighting for married her, who cares about your dump husband Sora? he could had been the first of many, the only thing that you should had done was to be pregnant for when he had left you, but your little pride got in the way. God know why you are like this.“

“You think I’m don’t want to get pregnant?” the girl asked incredulous

“I think god doesn't want you to be pregnant, your to weak to raise children.”

“It’s all your work, mother”

The cold hand of her mother slapped her on the face.

Sora scream and cry as she raised the sword that she still hold on her right hand.

The sword stopped at an inch of her mother´s neck. The older woman doesn’t even blink, her cold eyes were over her wrecked daughter.

“You should be better than this” She whispered.

Sora dropped the sword and lost the least of her sanity. Her both hands pushed her mother away of her, the queen mother backed down to steps, her left foot get tangled with the skirt of the old wedding dress and the right one slipped on the worn floor. Sora saw the dark stairs behind her mother and raised her hand to pull her safe, but her fingers get an inch of her mother’s. Toshiko fell and Sora saw red blood over her wedding dress at the bottom of the stairs.

Suddenly, the silence of the night turned terrified.

“Mother” Sora called on a quiet voice. But there was no response. The bloody body kept inmovil on the bottom of the stairs.

I had to go and check her, I had to go and help her, maybe she just need help

Sora repeated the words on her head. But her legs were on the floor and her arms were trembling as her chest and her lips.

“Mother” she repeated.

The bird on the high nest over the ceiling fluttering its wings, trembling one of the torch.

Sora looked over the small creature and its small eyes. If only it would be her only witness.

The mortified girl stand up and extinguished all the torches on the ceiling, living the room on the darkness. She could left the place, pretend that she never left her chamber, fake surprise when someone found the death queen.

Since the dark of the night on the highest tower, Sora saw a light, a tiny candle shining on the window of the tower of the Light´s church. She could not saw with clarity who was the figure standing on the window holding the candle, but she can guess. The Queen light up a single candle on the window and for a moment, it felt as a conversation. The light on the other window extinguished. And Sora waited.

The Queen finally came down the steps until the corpse of her mother. Her neck was broken and the white wedding dress was impregnated with the blood. Sora kneel next to her and closed her eyes.

A calmed steps are getting closer. The Queen turned to face at the Summon alchemist who had come with two guards behind him. He had a candle on his right arm and she still had the old armor.

“I will turn into the Light” She said “And you are going to fix this”.

He agree with a small reverence and she saw a spark of light on the dark eyes of the alchemist.

ACT 5: SCENE 1: THE WIDOW After the cut

Everything that could hurt her, hurt

Her body had been shattered, her legs felt weak, the throbbing pain of her missed eye made her crazy; on her right, covered by a thin white sheet her son slept, the scars of his lost childhood were visible on his face.

He would never run careless to the rain again

On her left her daughter suck out of her breast,  the tiny girl was sweating from the effort, Mimi could not help but cry every time she looked at her, she was such an ugly baby,her skin had a greenish hue, not a single hair peeked through her head, so small, so weak, so lucky to be born alive.

The queen did not breast feed her first child, a nurse took him by her arms as soon as she asked for it, she was bathed  in rose water and fed  with red fruit and nuts before she asked to see him again. So she had no idea it would hurt that much, that it would leak and stain the sheet around her, that her arm would be cramped by the effort of carrying her newborn  for so long.

Two children lying on the bed next to an exhausted mother, she would like to sleep too, to dream that her husband would return, that he would take her back to his castle with baths of roses and red fruits.

Joe Kido, the pacifier; what a beautiful title, she remembered the exact moment when she fall for him: in their first dance, when he introduce himself not as a warrior but as a healer; Mimi had know so many warriors, killers, soldiers, but never a man as Kido, a man with the promise that his children would never knows the war.

But he lied, a man who seek justice cannot escape from the battle; she  wanted the strength to stand up and fight along him, the opportunity to...

An explosions sound at the distant, the little girl cried; as she could she pick her on her arms and hold her closer, even that movement brought pain to her body, the noise of the battle shook the walls, she expected  for the worse, and the worse happened.

Soldiers of the light army stormed on her room, bright armors splashed with blood and dirt, the King himself appear at the door, triumphantly; the wolf knight by his side with the face of a broken man.

That could only mean one thing

“The Sea King is death”  The King of all land said

A scream died in her throat, and she thanked the goddess that the children were asleep

Taichi Yagami didn't expect to found her like that, one-eyed, weak, pale, haggard, with two children hanging from her arms; she saw the pity in his eyes and make the greatest effort of her life.

“he got…” she barely could speak “what he deserve your majesty”  

The room make silence to her statement, the lies comes from her mouth in a attempt to save her own

“What did you said?” Yamato Ishida step forward, all him was intimidating, Mimi look at him and then to the King, did they really expect that she respond to a knight?

“he.. he allies with the men” her heavy breath interrupt her words “with the men who imprisoned me and.. and my son”

“Did you mean this men?” With a movement of his hand Taichi impart orders to his soldiers, immediately they drag Ken and Iory inside, Ken was gagged and Iory was crying, their hands were tied and their spirit broken

“Yes, no “she correct, her mouth was dry “ they don't …”  her hand hold her missing eye “not only them, Akiyama…”

“It's good to see that you have not forgotten about me honey”  he was there,along with the soldiers of the light with Davis by his side, none of them were tied

Instinctively she hold her children, if the looks could kill Ryo Akiyama would be death

“before it defeat, my master and I leave the rebellion” Davis mutter shamefully and the few blood that still remain on the queen body boiled  with rage

“You betrayed the rebellion” Iory spoke between  tears “you didn't just leave”  

The King raise one hand and they gagged Iory too

“We are not here to discuss the fate of Davis and his master” Taichi continues as the interruption didn't matter “Both of them are forgiven”

“Your highness!” Yamato exclaim but he also was ignore

“We are here for the last wish of Joe Kido” everybody keep silent for a moment, the wolf knight spoke next

“Don't kill the children”  his blue eyes turn to her, to her babies “that was a mistake we made the last time”  and he held the broken sword tightly, it leaked fresh blood

A sudden revelation “You killed him” she whisper, so slow that almost nobody could hear her

“I'm a merciful King, i would forgive the infants” Taichi voice sound over his trusty ally “Take them”

The soldiers move faster “No please!” they come closer to her “Please don't take my children!”  she didn't has the strength to resist

“They will be raise on a light temple, with the sister of the light…”

“No please….” she beg

“You will be imprisoned  and judge for yours crimes again the crown”

“I never committed treason to the crown! Look at me!” her arms  moved frantically “I am a prisoner, they kidnapped me! mutilated me! and then somehow they convinced my husband to fight for them! " heavy tears follow her screams “Please!”

One sight of his hand and the soldiers left the kids on the bed

“Promise loyalty to me, bend a knee and you will return to rule over the islands, the tributes for the capital will be doubled and the banders of the light will raise over the land”

“Yes…” she mutter, calming the children “wherever it takes your highness”

That would be enough, she thought, but he awaits for her, everybody did

She had not gotten out of bed since the birth of the girl, as she could she crawled to the edge and slid her feet to the ground, as the tips of her fingers touched the floor, slowly she tried to support her weight on her legs but the movement disorient her,  she grabbed hold of the rail feeling that her skin could not contain her body.

Nobody came to help her

She bent the knee and crashed to the floor.

“Lift her” the hands of her husband's murderer put her back in bed “return her to coral palace, is time to leave this Islands”

“Your majesty” she barely could spoke “Can i have a request?”  

“what more do you want beside your throne and your children?”

“Revenge…” her words come spiteful from her mouth “I want those who started this to rot in the dungeons of my palace, I want, when my health allows me to be the one who executes the traitors of the islands "  her sloppy eyes turn to Iory and Ken

“Davis and his master had been exonerate for his war crimes”

“Yea i know...” inexplicable she smile “i'm sure they would be fine following you to the capital, living the rest of theirs lives under the light” she closed her eye afraid to faint “please allow me to punish at least the ungrateful childrens of the islands”

“Ichijouji and Hida will remain under your custody, the wolf knight will take care of that”

“The wolf knight?” she laughs “that's such a cute name for a wild who bite his chains” her voice become deep and scratchy “he is not a protector… “ she babble “he is Kings´s predator”

and after those words she lost consciousness

When she woke up she was back in her bed, she smelled roses and a glass of strawberries shone on her table, her son, although awake, still curled up on his right, his daughter, still small and weak, was crying on her left

"Majesty, allow me" a Maid approached to take the baby but she stopped her.

"No one is going to touch my children again" and she held the tiny creature on her hands, ready to fulfill that promise.

ACT 2. SCENE 4: THE BATTLE OF THE IKKAKU ISLAND

ACT 3. SCENE 1: THE INTERROGATION *After the cut 

Resume: Davis is now a prisoner of the crown, and Taichi and Yamato plays bad cop, good cop with him.  

He didn't know what scared him more: the shackles, the silence or the cold blue eyes that watched him since the door.

Davis expect a dungeon or a cell, not a dinner with the King and his hunting dog.

The King smiled at him since the other side of the table, part of him wonder if the food where poisoned, the part of him who wasn´t to busy devouring everything. Once there were no more than empty plates Davis finally speech

“Are you gonna kill me?” Davis wasn't the kind of person who circle around difficult topics

“If we wanted you death, you wouldn´t be here” the voice of the Wolf knight was almost as cold as his eyes

“Yamato please…” Yagami seems casual and relax, but Davis didn't let his guard down “I want to talk to you Davis, you know, since that time we face each others on the chosen children tournament I had always want to talk with you”

“Bullshit”

The Wolf Knight drew his sword but the King stopped him

“It is true, at that moment you remind a lot about myself when I was young” Davis didn't know exactly why, but he believe him

“So what?”

“So, I know you are confused and lost Davis “ His smile was warm and his voice calm “I´m give you an opportunity, a last chance to do the right thing: work with us, join our side and….”

“You want me to betray my brothers”

“Don't interrupt at his majesty”

“Brothers? is that how you call them?” The King continues as if he  didn't listen at his knight “You three betrayed the Kingdom first”

“Your Kingdom?”

“Joe´s Kingdom, and let me tell you, I can understand Hida and Ichijouji seek of revenge; but you Davis? you are not  truly a son of the sea, if you ask me you have more a mountain look”

“I'm not gonna betray my brothers”

The sword in the hand of the knight move faster, deadly faster but again the King hold him back.

“Do you know why was posible your capture?” Yagami stand up of the table “Ichijouji shot me an arrow while you were fighting” he smiled “my army respond to his tread, did you honestly agree with that? You? the same man who refuse to kill his enemies? Ichijouji broke the accords of a battle, if you ask me, the men you call brothers doesn´t share your honor or your bravery, I know you are not like them”

“You don't know me, or them,  I trust them with my life”

“And that's why you are here and not them” The King walked around him, his long cape make him look bigger, not just that, he was so different from the Sea King or even Iory, he didn't have to convince anyone about his royalty “Ken Ichijouji has no honor, and Iory Hida is so consuming by his desire of revenge that he kidnap innocents and refuse to surrender in an imposible war”

“It wasn´t Iory”

“Then who?”  Too late he realize his words were inappropriate

“Who?!” the knight repeated when he refused to answer the King

“Our master” Stupid boy, Ken would be so disappointing of him “Our master Ryo kidnaped the Queen and.. he is the one who refuse to surrender”

More terrifying than the King were the steps of his executioner “Where are the Queen and the prince?”

“I rather die to condem my brothers” Ishida approach to him, turn the table and with just his right hand he pick him up

“Where is the Queen?” He repeated only a few inches of his face and Davis spit on him

The cold hard floor and and punch in his face was totally worthy

“Enough Yamato!” The knight stand back; they were dancing around him “You rather die, i understand, you loved them, your brothers” For a moment it's seem like the King where doubting “is it fair to call Ken Ichijouji your brother? or it would be another word more appropriate for your relationship?”

Every insult that he knows he yell at the King until the knight shut him once again

“Did you finish?” One movement of his hand and Yamato stopped “Davis, do you know at the desert Queen?” And odd question, he taste his own blood on his mouth

“We meet her years ago, when she was still a princess” the memory of Jolei warm his hearth, a past time when everything was simpler.

“I'm sure you hear about her parents deaths a few months ago, she herself is a extrange Queen; single, young and  intelligente”

“That's Jolei” Davis didn't understand why he bring her up

“Yea, for what I know, she and her sister didn't get along, Joe was supposed to married her but he chose Mimi; a resentful queen; and she is a friend of you and your brothers right?, here is my question: Why is  she not helping you in your little rebellion?”

it's took a while before Davis understood that the King actually expect an answer.

“I don't know!” dam him “I´m not the one deciding those things, Ken is the strategist and… “ his head hurt so badly “Why you care?”

“Did you know she has a son?”

“What? No I don't” what was the point?

“Are you good at math Davis?”

“Just fucking said what you wanna said”

“Her kid is a little over two years old, he has blue hair and dark eyes, his father is not a desert man that's for sure”

For the first time in all night Davis keep silent

“I would let you think about it, and later we can discuss if you are still so certain about your loyalties”

  The sun will rise soon.

The prince Takeru was still holding the door of the Queen.

It was an honor, his brother always said it. It was also a great excuse to nap during the day. How ever, the prince never did the full night, he take the begining and the end, just for the Queen to see him. Or he just let Takuya do the whole night, who cares?  A lot of The Crown duty was to pretend things. He has to pretend that he likes to be the royal Knight, that he cares about the royal guards, that his thought were on the job, that he wasn’t  scared by the dark words of his mother, that he did not pray for his brother to don’t sacrificed his life for one of the Kings, that his heart don’t break every time that he saw Hikary running away from him. All of this mess will do great poetry. How long ago he did not write?

HIkary wants to be a sister of Light. Pass the day praying, helping the needed and lecturing everybody about the sin. She had jumped off the balcony because she preferred to die to don’t be a sister of Light. There is something that he would die for?

The Prince was waiting for the sun to rise, and then, as a mystery, HIkary comes to see him.

Beautiful Hikary clothed with the Light habit and something that want to be a smile on her face.

“Takeru” The damsel said and the chest of the Prince grown at the calling.

“Sister” Takeru said as he did the bow that you had to do when you saw an enlightened sister alone.

And there were the tears of the girl, the trembling hands and the true smile.

“I hadn’t… I´m still not…”

“But you will be. You will be Hikary”

“Takeru…”

“Look at you, you are already doing miracles, coming to talk to me”

She laughs and he still enjoyed. He was charming and she was paralyzed by that. For a moment the Prince aloud himself to think that there were something else, something else that the youth and the easies to be together. Maybe it was something that could survive all that mess.

“That is not the only miracle that I made”

“What?”

The damsel get close to him, her eyes shine and her skin was almost glowing.

“The Queen is going to convert at The Light”

“WHAT?”

Takeru turn over himself and open the door of the Queen’s room. No one was there.

“She had a sudden revelation” Hikary said “She is in the temple, praying, she finally saw the light Takeru”

Takeru stand by the door incredulous.

“If only all could”

“Hikary, you know that I don't…”

“You follow the light at your way Takeru” The girl said prontly “I’m talking about the queen mother”

“Aunt Toshiko?”

“She didn’t take well the decision of The Queen, she kept herself on her room”

Takeru could imagine the tantrum of his aunt, he don’t want to imagine how it's going to be said it to his own mother.

“Could you please… Just make sure that she would attend the ceremony? It would mean the world for The Queen.”

“Ceremony? “

“The summon alchemist is taking care of everything. Tomorrow, at noon, it would be beautiful”

“I take care of it, don’t worry”

“Thank you” Hikary said with affection “And… I’m sorry, Takeru… for everything”

“Don’t, don’t apologize” He said while his only wish was to heard other apology.

She left and he stayed. He saw the sun rising from the big window in the Queen’s room. The empty room that he had pretended to guard so many nights.

The ceremony started when the sun was highest on the sky. The sisters of Light had covered the patio of the palace with white flowers, the army had invited at nobles and peasants to saw the ceremony. The warlocks and witches on the capitol had started to move to the periferia. The veto ended

“Ridiculous” Princes Ritsuko said since the balcony “This is a fraud, Gennai is twisting on his graveyard right now”

“Mother, please” Princess Takeru said “I sure that Sora… “ but he had nothing kind to add “yes, this is weird”

“Weird nothing my son. This is a down hit, even for the House of Love. I had to know that the apple didn’t fall to far of the tree. The Queen is a liar hungry for power, just as her mother”

“Mother!” The boy said, as if the princess didn’t know that he is the one who must arrested by saying those words.

“Don’t make a mistake, my son” his mother said as she get close to him “The fate of The Light is a trick to had control over the people, the alliance between the crown and them is for mutual necessity; I know a conspiracy when I see one and what we are seeing now is one of the worst kind. We can only hope the corpse that would bury today wouldn’t be ours.”.

The Prince remains silence at the last comment of his mother. It would be really the worst for the kingdom that he married Hikary Yagami? This is the move of Sora to remain on the throne? If everyone were betting for the death of the King how was his brother? He fixed his armor on place and walked to saw his aunt, if his mother was mad he don’t want to imagine the mood of the Queen mother.

HIkari finished to put the white flowers over the pink dress. The girl was smiling all the time.

“You look divine your majesty”

<This is prettiest that my wedding dress> The Queen thought. But quickly her mind goes to the last time she saw it, covered with the red blood of her mother. When she get back to reality, HIkary had been gone and  the summon alchemist was on her room.

“This is a woman’s dressing room” The Queen said with annoyance, but the man just smile at her.

“I am trying to imagine your feelings, the grief could be hard. But believe me, this are good news for you”

“It wasn’t a murder” Sora said. Mostly because he was the only person that she can said it.

Compassion is something that Sora couldn’t think the summon alchemist could fake.

“Yes, I know. But the world had ways to kill the weaks and rewards the strongest, the smartest, the worthiest” and there it was, the real man behind the curtain “We had to take the chances that the life gifs to us. One day you are going to remember this day as the beginning, and the death of your mother as the end of the life that you hated.”

The Queen walked at the center of the courtyard. There were music and flowers. Her people were looking at her. She was tired and scary. She did the steps until the center, where Izzy Izumi was waiting with the Holy water on his right hand and a soldier of Light on each side. She knelt, the water fall over her head and the summon alchemist recited the old baptism lore. If god is going to talk to her this was the moment.

But what she felt was the sudden movement. A sword unsheathed on her right side. She evaded it for so little. Her brown eyes found the black’s of a foreign, dressed as a Light´s soldier. He listen the scandalous scream of the summon alchemist “heretics!”. She get her attacker for the wrist and stolen his sword, with a twist of her arm she asset a hit on his face. The other guard ran towards her, but he slashed his throat and nail the sword over the torso of the first man as he was still on the floor.

There were blood on the holy water.

“Your majesty!” The scream of Prince Takeru broke the silence “Someone had kill the Queen Mother!”

Sora felt her blood boil over the look of her cousin, who had seen her slaughtered two men. Just as the rest of the kingdom.

“Our enemies had send assassins to murder the royal family” the summon alchemist said with a loud voice as turning to the audience  “But a miracle! A miracle had happen today! Our Queen had received the force of the true God of Light. No man can kill her now!”

The people cheer and acclaimed her when she rise the sword of his enemy. And slowly, the screams were forming words that resonated inside her. “Saint Queen!”

When the Queen came back at her room there was a golden armor waiting for her. A phoenix was graven on the breastplate, embroidered on the cotton of the skirt was the symbol of the The Light and on the hip, rested the sword of her father.

No guard kept her door anymore.

The next day the audiences begun, she sit on the throne of The King and the Sisters of Light actually cried from happiness. At first command she made Izzy Izumi kneel in front of her and swear be loyal as her royal adviser.

“Were they really assassins send for our enemies?” The Queen asked quietly when he stand next to her.

“Yes, of course” The royal adviser answered “not the most brilliant if I could tell, they didn’t notice that they walked on a trap”

The enemies are coming for her and she had never felt more ready.

Part 2: The Marching Fishes

ACT 1. ESCENE 1: THE RAIN

Resume: The Sea King try to control his kigdom and protect his family, 

The first thing that the Sea King noticed when he wake up it was that the rain hasn’t stopped. The second, his lovely wife awaking next to him.

“Good morning, your majesty” She said with the sweetest voice

“Good morning, beautiful siren, how do you slept?”

“Terrible, I barely slept” Said the Queen as moved herself slowly “Everything hurt, and I’m hungry and tired all the time”

The king laughed while Mimi kept complaining.

“Don’t laugh  Joe, I’m serious, When is he going to born?”

“One more month my darling, you're doing it great”

The King hugged his Queen, endering a kiss on her cheek, while caressed the big belly of the desert flower.  

“I’m doing terrible, and the rain Joe, it is been raining forever”

“It’s summer” Joe said with the same patience he had shown the last three years.  His lovely queen could be a warrior, but she would never get used to the extreme humidity of the Islands.

“I want to get out, we are trapped on our own castle as animals”

A hurry knocking of the door interrupted the conversation. The King open the door to found a maid completely soaked holding the young prince covered by a huge towel.

Joe take a depth breadth.

“He escaped at the rain”

“He escaped at the rain, again, your majesty. I’m so sorry to bother you but the prince is…”

“A bless” the king completed as took at his energetic son on his arms. The maid ran away the fast as he can. “I hope someone had apologized” said the king at his son.

The young prince has a little more than two years, orange hair, big green eyes and, Joe was sure,  a couple of gills hidden somewhere.

“Rain!” scream the little prince, now completely naked and running to try to open the window and scaped at the rainy garden.

“Oh aren’t you going to greeting your mother, sweetheart?” said the Queen standing up from the bed.

“Mommy”

“He managed to tyred all the maids” said the King as the prince kissed her mother belly.

“Now imagine on a month when they will be two” answered the Queen with a smile.

“Or in a couple of years, when they will be three… or five”  

The monarchs laughted at their own bless. Mimi’s smile was still the prettiest of the entirely world, the expensive fabrics and the coral jewelry were never enough to frame her beauty. But when Joe look at her eyes he found something dark on them, a silent question than kept coming up about the promise of the future, if their mutual love will be enough to conquer at their enemies.  

“Come on son, what you said if you and I go to pass the day on the royal baths as your father do some politics”

As every morning the King passed all the time he could hidden on his room with his wife and kid, but everyday it was a little  harder.

He dressed and get out, the war hasn’t stopped either.

And when did the war even began. Joe walked for the palace until the throne room. Once time ago his knights were follow him. Davis joking about something and Ken flushing at his words and Cody calling them on their behaviors, with his silents and his wooden sword. And now they are gone. They now are sneaking around the corners of his city, playing a war that Joe doesn’t want to start.

“Your Majesty” called a counselor “the rebels continue on the peripheral Islands, the attacks are mostly not extremely violent, but they kept moving forward”

Cody was the political lider of the rebelion, and Joe kwno well than he never is going to hurt his own people.

“We lost other cargaments of provides” The counselors continue “we had losing all our tributes to the capital”

Ken Ichijouyi was the strategist of course, he knows than blocking the supplies for the continent only will weak the alliance of Joe with the Capital, but the people of the Islands will take it like a popular victory.

“We had reportes of fire on public places, most of them are edifications of the time before the death of the Cold King”

But Davis worrying more. He was a blast on the war zones, his speeches turn on the crowds and flaming the confidence of his allies.

Even then the revolution stay calm, it didn’t entered at the capital and during three years the people had adjusted at the occasional vandalism, at the political climate of changing and disorientation. Joe did the best in the name of the peace, he had offer and offer accords, her lovely wife had won at the hight class of the Islands, the babies has won the heart of the common people. But there were doubts in them. Until when the good King is going to wait to call The Light to fix this mess? And how much this is going to cost at liberty of the Islands?

The leader of the royal guard had gone a long with the rebels, Joe know so little about him that he feels like a moron for hadn't seen his betrayal coming. A skilled warrior who had teaching Joe’s kids since before Joe kwno them. The King wasn’t proud of the jealousy that take over him every time he thought about that smoughty face, blue eyes and white teeth.

“Did we send more ships at the peripheral?“ The counselor asked.

And Joe wait.

The little Prince cut the tension of the room. A conserting maid entered running behind him.

“I’m so sorry your majesty” The woman apologized as the kid try to escaped through the garden “he is fast”

The Sea King walked until his son and spoke with calm.

“You can’t go outside, you are going to get cold, is raining, stop this”

The child trap his own tongue between his lips and made a trumpet. The crass act took Joe by surprise, he walked a step forward, paralized by the angry and the unknown.

“I’m so sorry, your Majesty” The maid said as dragged the child out of the room.

How little Joe know his own child.

“Sir, do you want us to send more ships at the peripheral?”

“Use our ships and knights to resguard the ways, by land and water, we need for the people to feel safe” The King said at last.

The day pasted and the rain continued. And continued the war and the royal business. Joe walked again into his room, where his wife was resting. Before he could entered he saw at the maid of before, walking by the hall with concern, looking for someone. He looked at her eyes and she draw an apologie on her face. Joe turned over his steps and walked at the closest door. The inside garden was beautiful, with a lake and flowers and sun. But now was raining, the king entered at the rain between the horror of the maid, walked through the puddles and the heavy drops of the tropical rain until he saw his son, all small and crying, soggy and ashamed of himself. And Joe himself wished to disappear his anger, to want no more to take his son and wrap him with dry clothes and full him with hugs.

Why the children don’t listen? Why they think that they desires will matter on the big picture? Why he failed on teaching compassion and patient and humility?

Joe took his son on his arms and comforted him with kisses and cares, knowing well that he hasn’t the strength to scold him.

At the next day the storm stopped. And Joe catches his wife and son getting ready for a trip on the town.

“Aren’t you coming, darling?” Said Mimi endering the words.

“You go with the kid, I’m feeling a little down, better rested the day” the King answered.

“We both know that you are the one who needs to see more than this walls”

“Mimi, please… just...” He didn’t finished, he didn’t know what else to said.

She stepped closed at his husband, kissing him on the mouth, with her hands holding his face, Joe rested his hands on her back, both proud of belong to each other.

“You know, that if you asked I will finish all your monsters” The queen said at his ear. Joe could feel the old knife tied on the Queen´s leg, hidden over her pregnancy dress.

“We are not getting to that” the King responded as he always did “I know those kids, I’m going to make them entered into reason, they are no monsters”

The Queen kissed her husband again, proud of his compassion. She took her son and both entered at the royal carriage.

_____________________________________

The quarters of the rebellion weren’t a castle. They hadn’t maids and servants, and the rebels that join the rebellions weren’t well trained soldiers, were common people with unconformities about the Sea King regimen that Iory didn’t share.

“The cargament of today will feed us for another week” said Ichijouji since his corner on the small room while he drop and catch a small knife.

“Yea, other robbery, that will show them what  we are made for” Iory said sarcastically reviewing the plans of the controlled Islands again.

“Well, it will feed our people” Ichijouji repeated.

Iory didn’t dare to respond at his brother. Even when the storm had ending  the leaks of the ceiling kept dropping water while the two of them hold their thoughts.

“It doesn’t feel like a winning” Iory said at last.

“Sometimes it not even feel like a war”

“Oh it doesn’t had enough death for your taste!?”

“We know it would be battles and you had no right to scold me every time I win one!”

 “You could rob the cargaments without killing the dealers!”

“It send a message!” Ichijouji respond with anger

“What kind of message? What the King is going to think?” Iory scream as his brother cursed out loud “we need to show at the people that we are better than him”

“No!” Ichijouji interrupted him, feeling the knife on his hand specially heavy “We need to overthrow him and unless you stopped playing nice we are never going to make it”

“ENOUGH!” Davis scream as he entered at the room “What we need to do is stop screaming at each others as our people is listening”  The young man get himself between his two brothers

But there was no apologized for any part.

Davis closed the doors as he turned to the them. He was the one who deals with the people, they love him and somehow it didn’t like at his brothers.

“It was nothing” Ichijouji said as he take the hand of Davis and move his eyelashes for him.

“You are not scaping of this by your charm” Davis said as he did his best to don’t kiss his lover.

“This is useless” Iory scream as he threw all the papers at the floor “This has to end”

“We agree” Ichijouji said “We need to make a real attack at the capital”

The papers over the floor get wed.

“The people is tired” Davis said “we already control some Islands, we can proclame an independent and started over”

Iory saw the papers over the floor getting wed. Peace treaties that Joe had written himself.  He felt soaked, trapped under the storm that he beg to created.

“Our master is never going to allow us to surrender” Ichijouji said with a calmed voice. Snapping Iory back to the reality.

“It is not his decision to make” Iory said.

The frontal door opened suddenly, a ray of light enlightened the darkened room where the three boys stayed. A handsome  man entered with a big smile than no one had had at war times.

“Master Ryo!” Exclaimed the three young men at unisone.

“It’s over kids, we won” his master said as he threw to them the Queen of the Honest Islands and her heritage, both chained and sedated.

ACT 1

ACT 2. SCENE 1: THE ARRIVAL

ACT 2. SCENE 2: BROTHERHOOD. (after the cut)

Iory stopped by Mimi’s cell before gone at the war boats. She was sitting with her back on the wall, uncomfortable for the pregnancy, she was hugging his son, both dirty and hunger, but at least the angry yelling had stopped.

“This is going to end soon” Iory said. But Mimi didn’t answered, she kept there, with his son on her arms “I never intend to…” He know he didn’t own her any apologized. “I know Joe Kido is a good man, too good to be King” her eyes were full of tears and he was full of words “but Taichi Yagami on the big Throne are  bad news, a puppet of The Light, the same Light that kills homosexuals and heretics, how much time has to pass before The Light will came at the Honest Islands and started to burn our idols and books.” she closed her eyes and kissed his son on the front as he tied the hug and Iory kept talking “My own father fighted against the capitol, he was trying to independence our home and he ended killed by the sword of the Wolf Knight, a peasant whose only achievement was won the throne for Joe Kido.” The Queen trembled “This is the best for the Islands” Iory said at last.

“Liar” The Queen said at Iory’s back.

The blood of the Forgotten Prince boiled.

The Ikkaku’s Island was at just some kilometers apart, the last defense before the Grand Island. Joe kept all the zone fierced guarded, but now Iory was sure that Joe would give up.

He was wrong.

“War boats at the horizont!” Davis yelled since the watchtower.

The sea was calmed and the warriors ready. The two flotillas encountered each other in the middle of the blue, and the battle started.

“Take the boats and get as many prisoners as you could!” Iory yelled the orders.

Davis jumped from the watchtower and the rebels scream, his sword was fast and certain, his hair was an orange flame that run over the battlefield, no for nothing he was his master’s favorite. Even then, Ken Ichijouji was the first on boarded the enemies boats.

Blood was draining to his sword, sweat all over himself and the screams of his enemies didn’t stop, some of them crying, more of them cursing his name. Ken felt alive on the battlefield, actions and quick thinking, kill the enemy, take the rudder, it was easy. Easier that the other things of life.  

Ken was guarding the cell when the Queen wake up. She found herself trapped, with his son still unconscious next to her over the cold floor. She searched for the weapons under her dress, but they had taken each one of them. She found just the smug face of Ichijouji looking at her. The swerwords of his dying enemies were nothing compared at the treats of the Queen. One beat at the bars of the cell and she stopped the yelling.  He was expecting questions, an opportunity to insult her and make her felt as the vain insect that she was. But the Queen started sobbing without help, uncontrollable murmurs that sound to much as a prayer, but wasn’t the name of god on Mimi’s lips.

“Joley… sister… please… “

“How you dare!” Ken scream.

His angry eyes found her quizzical look.

After everything how she dare to say that name, to called the sister that she betrayed. She had seduced the Sea King to choose her over Joley, when she knows that she was breaking her younger sister's heart. Because Joley’s heart was precious, Ken knows that. Memories of that far warm night assaulted him, the hot skin of the princess of the desert, her enthusiastic kisses mixed with all that alcohol. How long has been? three years? Would he ever seen her again?

Davis blocked one enemy attack against Ken´s back. The young knight turned to saw the face of his lover, Davis was so handsome with that bravery on his eyes, his sword moving gracefully, his mouth yelling at his enemies.

“We had this battle won” Davis said so full of confident that he even had time to kiss Ken before entering at the weaponry room. The smell of the gunpowder and the fire begun.

Davis Motomiya set the boat on fire and watch how his followers did the same with the rest of the enemies ships. His arm over Ken’s waist and both jumped at the principal ship, where Iory was looking them with proud. They had captured all the enemies that hadn’t jumped at the ocean or died on the fire (or in Ichijouji´s blade). His boyfriend was hugging him as his brother and the rebels celebrate the victory. Freedom, justice, the spirit of the Honest Islands will survive and conquer all.  The Queen had been wrong when she told him that he doesn’t belong there.

Davis had been in charge to give the food at the Queen. Ken was always yelling at her and Iory was a prince, he hadn’t had to do those things.

He didn’t understand his brothers, Mimi wasn’t rude at him. If something she looks scary and kept a child in jail was a discussion that he had lost. Back when they were small children The Sea King would had reasons to imprisoned them and he showed mercy instead, because they were children.

“Where are you from?” The Queen had asked after the third or fourth time that he had given her clean food.

“The Honest Island” Davis had responded. The Queen hadn't been looking so convinced. “I can guess that my parents are from some place else, but I am not”

“You guess?”

“Master Ryo bright me at the Honest Island when I was a baby, I don’t remembered live far away of this ocean” Davis had been talking easily “When the King accepted to training me as a Knight I won a place, and when the other King kill him and forgive my live, I won two brothers” Mimi shivered at the mention of the old battle. Maybe after those days with the knights she could understand the story of the Honest Island. Davis himself didn’t understand that much.

“I had been trying to do the same thing” the Queen had said sweetening her voice “I try to belong”

She had been sitting on an old chair, her son had been on her lap hugging at her big mom’s belly. Somehow she made the all thing looked like a throne. Suddenly Davis had been feeling so uncomfortable, Iory maybe was a leader and the right heir, but he had never seen that… royalty.

Mimi didn’t deserve that cell. The Queen moved her big eyelashes and his son coughed a few while Davis’ heart get smaller on his chest.

“You know you don’t belong with them, right?” the Queen had said while Davis had his hand resting over the cell lock “The Sea King had been so generous to you”.

A moment of hesitation. The keys were holding on his waist, he know that his brothers weren’t on the building. Did he really would be able to…

Something hit him. The Queen hit him with the chair. He hit the floor and the hand of the Queen had stretched to grab the keys, and she almost got them. Davis rolled at the floor, give up and dared to watch at Mimi’s eyes, and then, he understand why his brothers refused to see her.  Any of them would brake before her.

He had been left the room as Mimi yelled at him many variants of fool. But she had been wrong, he belongs at the Islands, at this rebelion, with his brothers: Ken and Iory, his lover and his prince.

The rebel flotilla was celebrating the triumph while Ryo Akiyama was watching the Queen‘s  cell on the rebels quarters.  There was something comforting at watching at the Queen. Maybe it was the obvious hate that the Queen felt for him or maybe was the red hair and the purple eyes that remembered him at his own wife. The women of the desert were something else.  

“He is going to kill you” Mimi said with no hesitation.

“Excuse me?”

“He adores at that children, but you… the King despise you”

Ryo laughed a little before answered.

“Oh darling, on this days, everybody call himself a King”  

With no more explanation the assassin left the Queen’s cell. Ryo walked through the building until his room, he closed the door and the windows, making completed darkness, he unveiled the big old mirror, recited the old canticle and slowly, a figure formed on the other side.

“Love of my life” he said as Rika´s image appeared.

“You fool” The woman said with the biggest smile he had seen in her since the first day Takato hold a sword.

“You look happy”

She inclined to pick something of the floor.

“Look this” she said as showed him a baby dinosaur moving on her arms “Takato found saurios! my child is the chosen one”

“For the Light God!” Ryo hide his jealousy behind his surprise. “I hadn’t seen one of those on years” the smiled of Rika only grown “But what about them? for when they grow up enough to be useful on combat MY CHILD had been conquer all the continent”

“Yeah sure” She dismissed him “Your plan is obviously not stupid. How is your lame rebelion going?”

“My apprentices are at two battles to won the Grand Island and when Iory will be King of this place, it will be only matter of time to send his army against the capital. Davis will be King of all the living land before the next summer solstice. You had to see him Rika, the people adore him”

“Well, Takato is a King already”

“A indulged King” he said making her frowned “ You had given him everything, Davis is a survivor, a natural leader”

“You are always over complicating everything” She said “two battles you said”

“Two battles to conquer the richest land of the continent”

“Made yourself sure that Izumi didn’t interfere” She said without hidden her concern.

“I assure you Rika, the Capital bigger mistake is dismissed this war. We are gonna win”

“For the glory of the Courage house” She said as a goodbye.

“For the glory of the Courage house” He repeated.

Ryo allow him to rest a little. All their fights and patience were paying off.

He remembered that night when Rika decided that felt compassion was part of their jobs. She give up everything for a baby that she believed was the chosen one, but he had never been much of fairy tales himself. Takato could had lucky, but his brother, Davis, had been talented since the first time that Ryo founded him hidden under the crib. Rika hadn’t see him, that itself was marvelous. He is going to be King, Ryo would make it. Captured the Queen had been a winning move, they are going to conquer the Honest Island in no time.

Far away, the knights of the Islands shared his master confident, not as his knowledge. The Forgotten Prince leadered the insing ship as Ken and Davis make out on the watchtower of the boat. And then, they see them: The Light banners all over the Ikkaku’s Island, and all their confidence banished.

ACT 1. ESCENE 1: THE RAIN

ACT 1. ESCENE 2: THE WILL  

ACT 1. ESCENE 3: THE TRIP 

ACT 1. ESCENE 4:THE SON after the cut 

Ruki never doubts, her hand  never shake at the sight of danger, all her life has always been all or nothing, rush and violence, a never ending run, still she has no regrets, no second thoughts; until him, until the prince.

Sixteen years has past since that night. The night that she decide Takato will live.

The moonlight  shone over the smallest cradle in the last tower of the castle,  it would be easier if the baby were sleeping,  if his crying didn't pierce her ears, if he was less tiny, if she wasn't so sure that his mother would never come to him.

The blood of the queen was still fresh on her hands

“What the hell are you doing!? Hurry up!” her partner yell since the door, surprise for her delay

“No”  she said, more for herself than for him “this is wrong”

“What?” they hear steps coming closer  “we have no time Ruki just do it!”  But she didn´t move, she saw him straight at the eyes as he said “we have orders”

“I'm not going to kill this baby and I swear on the sands of the desert that I will cut your throat if you try to stop me!”

“Damn you woman! what a moment for a moral crisis!” He locked the door and walked through her “if you think I would rather fight you than the entire order then you don't know me”  

His arm cash her waist and push her closer, she smile, like she only smile for him

An explosion sound on the down floor shaking the room just enough to break them apart

“Koushiro is gonna kill us” she said while wrapping the baby

“No if we kill him first” he prepared his knife ready for when they reach the door

“No!” she stopped him “we need to escape”  but it was pointless, there is nothing he hate more that run out of a fight “this baby is the heir to the throne, he needs to live”

“Live? Ruki, we killed his family, we burn his castle, we killed his Saurios!”  

They hear them forcing the door

“I can save him!”  she climbs on the window

“What about his brothers? why his life worth more than them?”

“They must be death by now, come on!” she hurry, desperate and he follow her standing on the cornice, getting close enough for their forehead to touch, his bright blue eyes stood out in the night and for a breve instant she aloud his strong armors to reconfor her

The baby finally calm down

“I would give you some time…”

“What? come on Ryo” she pull his shirt “ don't try to be the hero now…”

“I couldn't help it”  but again she didn't move “You want to save him, I want to fight!”

The hand that held his shirt pulled him harder and with that same strength she kissed him, Ruki loved the way she lived, fast, intense, sure.

“Until the next life my love” and she jumped out of the tower

.

.

.

Her current life wasn't that bad, She had been worse, boredom wasnt by far her worst misfortune.

Takato has grow, maybe not as much as she would expect; but he compensate in kindness what he lack in force, a good quality in a King, not that she would ever tell him.

“Tell me what?”

“I´m talking to myself”

“Then you must use your inner voice” he laughs, he use to laugh so much lately.

“How long we had been here? in piramide?” She walk behind him, while he sigh papers and decide meaningless stuff

“Three years, How do you don't know that?”

“It's too much, i never stay so long in anywhere…”

“We pass fifteen years on the temple!”

“wherever..” he put his travel cloat “where are you going?”

“To the town, i have a meeting with the council about the new dam”  

The investiture fit him well, the gold-embroidered cape, the crown forged with rubies, Piramide had prospered so much under his command but of course that would be something else that  she would never tell him

“You are wasting your time, our time! we must have sailed to the continent years ago”

“I´m not, this is my Kingdom Ruki and i must..”

“This is not ” she interrupt “this is not your Kingdom” he stop, turn to her, and talk in the most annoying tone

“Im the King of Piramide, my wife is the Queen of Piramide, my son will be the Prince of Piramide..”

“Your son!”

“Yuri is pregnant!” he yells

“Why don'tyou tell me?”

“I told you a month ago! and as soon as the child born we´ll sail to the continent, really what is the matter with you?”

“Takato!!” the queen voice surprise them, Yuri wave a handkerchief since the balcony “ mi amor! good luck in your trip!”  she blow kisses that he pretend to catch

“At least she has learn more than your name”

“Don't be rude!” he said “ Gracias Corazón! volvere pronto!” but a bit of discomfort show on his face

“What?”

“Talk with the Lion as soon as i left, he has instruction to not let her stand out of the bed”  he explain as soon as they keep out of her sight

“I´m not one of your lackeys” she refuse but still obey him

Outside of the castle a man and a carriage  await for the King

“What is he doing here?” Rika yells without shame when she recognize at Henry Wong

“I would join the majesty on his travel”

“Why?” she despise his calm tone, his heavy clot, his daring to speak to her with such a familiarity

“He is my translator” Takato try to stay neutral in more of their feud but he couldn't avoid his empathy with Henry, he was fun, in some ways it was his first real friend “Please wait for me inside” he order to him “ Listen Ruki” again that condescending tone “I know you don't like Henry”

“I don't  trust him, You should not travel alone with him, he refuse to train”

“ He prefer to train the mind instead of the flesh, what is wrong with that?”

“Takato… Takato.. Takato” she kick the ground “ those are the most dangerous kind of men”

“If you said that, listen  i understand that you are boring here, but just be a little patience, you know… like you just to be, back on the temple…”

“I had things to do on the temple! i have nothing to do here!”

“what?” he seems confuse “What did you do on the temple? you just boss me around and talked to mirrors”

She couln´t believe his audaci, she did nothing? who changed his diapers? who carrying him at night when he couldn't sleep? who teach him to talk, to walk, to fight?

“Dont put that face!” he climb at the carriage “Beside, what about the new reluctant? Hirokazu and Kenta were excited about your training! that is a good invested of your time!”

“That pair are the most idiotic, incompetent and disgusting men in the entire world, i has never been more disappointing of the humanity  in my life”

But the carriage was already gone before she end her complains, unfortunately  Takato was right, she past the rest of the day  in the training camp making that pair of buffoons bleed, the time passed so slowly, every minute was overwhelming, she began to miss her old life, the emotion, the mystery, the sun over the sand, sometimes even his blue eyes .

At night alone, she  think on the impossible, what if Takato was not the chosen one? what if be the King of Piramide was his greatest achievement? what if he was just another mortal king?

All her fears come together when the alarms sound, when the soldiers bring back the king to her, cover in blood, unconscious, on the edge of death.

.

.

.

Fire, light, heat, an unbeatable force, were he is?

He is sweating, the flames dance around him, it is like walking in the sun, and there is a boy; a toddler playing with a sword, Takato come near to him, he has his same brown eyes, his same wild hair, a slightly darker skin; the child smile at him, Takato also has a sword on hand, the both play for a long time until he was incapable of resist the heat and keep his journey.

Then it comes the rain, thunders and noise, the heat keeps the water warm.

Over the pots, jumping and smiling he found another boy, same eyes , thicker eyebrows and darker hair, but Takato is sure he is his flesh and bones; he is almost a baby, barely could stand on his feet; but that doesn't stop him, he jumps and falls countless times.  

The sound of the sea call him and he ended leaving the second boy.

The waves and breeze feet his spirit, the full moon shines and the stars dance on the sky.

A baby cries over the sand, a baby who looks just like him.

The hearth shakes, the storm becomes stronger, he could not stand on his feet, but the boys drow on the sea, far away from him, Takato must reach them, they are his family, his blood… a last roar explodes at the distant and everything turn dusk.

.

.

“What happened?!” she run until him, with a fear that she has only feel ones, ones when she hold a knife over his cradle

“We..” the traductor talk difficult and Rika hold her wish to stab him to death “we were attack, it was dark, it happened suddenly”

“He is not breathing!” she scream while the soldiers put him on the bed

“I´m a doctor!” Kenta yells at his way to the king

“Well at least you are good for something!” he ignore her while checking the injuries  “Is not a lethal attack,  they are only bruise and cuts”

“Then why does not he breathe?!”

“I don't know!” Kenta cryes sure that Ruki would kill him

“I think…” Henry yells louder than them “I think he was poisoned”

“That's impossible!” she stand up “He is a son of the house of courage, the poison is nothing to him”

“No, no with a substance, i think his energy was poisoned, an act of witchcraft… I… I.. “ he stutter “ I saw the attack and i had read about the symptoms”

“I have no idea of how treat that” Kenta lament

“Of course you don't have an idea you are worthless!” she exclaimed furious, witchcraft for the east, she was as helpful as the idiotic doctor  “did you?” she turn to Henry “Did you know how to save him?”

“I… meaby but im not sure..i have never done it before” she could smell the lies on his words, but she has no option

“Do it” she orders and suddenly he was the one without options

“I would need everyone to leave the room immediately” he stutter no more “i need to be alone with him”

All obey, except Ruki and he knew it has no point to argue with her.

The heavy coat fall and his tone muscles jump to the eye, Train the mind, not the flesh her ass

He put the cold body of the king on the floor as he stand up in front of him, his hand perform a ritual that make the room warmer, Ruki didn't know that kind of magic, his breathing change with each precise move of his wrist, his knees flex with the strength of a warrior, and all night long  Henry Wong fight against the death itself.

When he finish Takato breath again

“What now?” she ask

“now we pray”

Pray was for the weaks, for the desperate, for the fools, for the ones who has no control over their faiths.

So, of course she pray.

The next  days were her penitence, he breath but he didn't wake up, he murmurs and scream once in awhile, and she ignore the madness and chaos outside his room, everything but Takato was irrelevant.

The kid who cry at the moonlight was dying. She had been a fool for letting the prince walked alone, she confided on the peace of Piramide, this old land who loves his King, so far away of the old castle where Takato was born. But his enemies reached them even here. And now Takato, the survivor, was dying for the attack of a murderer that she hasn’t even seen.  

She asked to the light to mitigate his suffering, she begged to the old dragon and the wolf to give him the stretch and courage she knew he lack of, and finally she supplicated to the shadows to keep him alive.

Takato woke up at the sunrise of the third day.

“I need to see him” he yelled, sweating, standing up in his own feets,“Take me with him!”

“What?” she hold him afraid of his weakness, blissful by his recovery “who? you must rest…”

“No!” he seem excited and lost, probably stunned by the injuries “My son Ruki, I must see my son!”

Her smile fell apart, he was delusional

“You have no sons Takato…”

“What?” his eyes didn't focus on her “I know.. I know… I saw them..”

“Them?”

“My children… I saw them in a vision”

“It was a dream Takato, you were unconscious for three days, you were dreaming”

“No! no it wasn't a dream! I felt the breeze and the ocean, it was real!” he tried to get out.

“Takato wait!” she stopped him “You were attacked! you almost died”

“Let me go!” he fighted with too much stretch for someone on his condition, but he stopped  and hold her shoulders “Everything is gonna be fine Ruki! I saw my children!  I have to see Yuri,  tell her that this time everything is gonna be fine”

“Takato…” but she didn't obey “Takato you were attacked…”

“That doesn´t matter”

“Yuri…” she struggle with words “Takato… she lost the baby”

“No”  he shook her arms “No!”

“She cannot resist to see you hurt…”

“You are lying! I know what i saw!”  the panic made him irrational

“You were dreaming, it wasn't real” she tried to be gentle “Takato, all of this is a sight, we… you must change this path, we must sail to the continent right now”

“A sight? yes.. yes It is a sight, we, the next time is gonna be different… the next time” he mumbled, talking with himself.

“Why would it be any different!?” Ruki lost her patient “this one didn't work! not the one before or the one before that! Goddammit Takato! She cannot carry your children!”

She was a well training warrior, of course that when he raised his hand to her she reacted, but just the intention hurt as much.

And he ran and she followed him, away from the palace, away from the city, were he could feel the breeze and the ocean again, one foot near to the ravine.

“Takato!” she shouted breathless “Takato stop! we can go home! you… you don't need this, any  of this!”

“I'm not going anywhere, no without my children”

The wind became intense, the waves bursting with force, she saw him cry while throwing himself to the abyss.

.

.

Henry watch them leave the castle and followed them, but he wasn't fastest enough. When he found Rika she was on the beach, the knees over the sand, screaming, crying like a widow.

No, even worse , she whipped like a mother

He knew immediately that the worst had happened, but how?  He saved Takato, he saw him stay and walk. Henry’s heart hurt, he shouldn’t have dare to attack his King, he regretted when he saw Ruki crying, Yuri sicked, Takato hurt. But his remedies wasn’t been enough to repaired his mistake. For the first time in his life he felt like the murder he was.

The sound of the ocean could not quiet the sobs of  Ruki. Henry walked near to her, as if for some miracle he could comfort her

“Stay away from me!” he didn't even bother in touch her

“Como on Ruki we need to…” it was the first time he adresered her by her name

The violent tied suddenly calm, they hear a thunder at the distant.

“Ruki…” he called her

“leave me!” she begged

“No” he found the courage to hold her and with a new strength he forced her to stand up “Come Ruki look it up!”

And she looked at the sea and found the impossible

The king was there, walking through the waves until her, complete naked, save and alive, on his arms something roar with the sound of the ocean, three creatures sneaked over his naked torso.

It looked like a three head beast.  

living Saurios, breathing monsters almost as miracle as the resurrected son.

Henry stared at him, knowing he was unworthy, holding Ruki who almost fait in his arms.

And the King talked, with a confident Takato has never show before

“Calm down mother,  I have my babies, it is time to go home”
