I clap a hand to my mouth as I burst out laughing, but Gaband suddenly whirls. He catches my laughing maniacally. I back away a little, enough to dodge a sword thrust. Sara blushes furiously and wipes her lips. "Gods, you two.... seriously?" I shake my head, laughing around my hand. "You, two.... Are..." I turn for a moment. Getting out the laughter, i turn back to them. "Okay, so, tell me, when did you two start dating?"
"When we fell in love, silly!" Sara says, her usual dark tone replaced with a higher more elated one. "Back when me and Gaband first met, we fell in love!" My mouth drops. It did explain why Gaband went with her. " And now, I could probably give back the Universe, if I just get to live with him. That... is why you are here." I tilt my head at her words. "That, is why I let you kill me back in the Shadow Realm. I am...... I need you to get me into the Unholy Lands, I want Claes to hear me out. I want to stay there, with Gaband, away from everyone in those huge woods next to the building. When I heard you got thrown in there, I almost keeled over and died!" I sit down, my head was hurting too damn bad.
"What she is trying to say is, all this is for one thing, our love," Gaband kneels next to me, his sword point at my ribs. For being in love, he sure did make it look like a rouse. "Look, Azelus, its not that we want to create the carnage, at first Sara did, but when we fell in love.... It was more so to make the Gods send both of us to the Unholy Lands." My face flushes red as I stand.
"Then, why not go off to some uninhabited realm?!" I say angrily. "Or, go somewhere else! Why kill so many? I-I.... I just don't get it."
Gaband looks over to Sara, her eyes were pointed to the floor. And for the first time since birth, I felt sympathy for her. Sara looks up to me, her eyes were filled with anger. I must have killed her happily-ever-after. "You can never understand! I was made for this! I was never made to fall in love! I am an abomination!" She comes up to me and smacks me, hard. I blink, and my mouth falls open. "Gods, I never wanted any of this! Its, its not just me either. Kirk, he died, and he found a nice little wench, they had kids! I know Lile also found a love, albeit, it was an odd relationship, he still found love. He died after that. It seems, we can't fall in love. But me and Gaband, we did, and here we are!" Her chin raises, indignant. "I want to go to a place that there is no chance of dying. Thats why I need you. Please." I back up, hands raised. Her head falls again. It was either one elaborate trick, or she genuinely wanted me to help her achieve a happily-ever-after. Jurdean walks up, and he eyes the situation.
"She wants it. She.... really does." He says quietly. I sigh. He knew when people were acting versus actually feeling the emotions they portray. I eye her for a moment, and then nod that I will do my best to help her. She rushes and hugs me. Gaband smiles appreciation for a moment, and then his hard face returns to nonchalant cold.
"Thankyouthankyouthankyou!" Sara says repeatedly in my ear. I did not know what I was doing, but it had better be for the best.
Explanation: I did create Sara, I am toying around with the idea that she has truly fallen in love. I do think it would add another dimension to the story, if I may say so myself. Maybe even retire her for a while. I know you want to kill her, Kristen, but sometimes its better to just let characters fade away, better sometimes than a climactic fight scene.

By that time Yuki went on a full assult and not even knowing she was, though it wasnt like her to continue a attack on someone but once she grew angry every little bit so did her energy source which was Kurai. He was using her anger to take the advantage on using her body without her concent and was now taking this chance to get back at Eve from earlier today. She was seeing nothing but darkness till she snaps out and gets her vision back, looking around Yuki sees the damages and had no idea what had happened and remembered getting mad,"I must of went all out angry this time havent I." Looking at the others faces it was clear it was a yes and she then looks to the young girls who looked at Yuki almost scared, Everest shoke her doll in her arms terrified to see her mother became almost a monster in her eyes. Calmly Yuki goes over to Everest with her hand out,"Honey, its alright mommy is back to normal now....come here its ok." by the time she moved closer Everest gasped and back away afraid or her own mother, Yuki stepped away upset that her own child wouldnt even touch her or talk to her,"This is why I hate legends....I scare even my own blood...I need some times to be by myself." Rain started to come down heavily as Yuki simply turned her back and walks away from the others,"I wouldnt stay out here....go and take the little ones inside and I'll return soon.....I need to think alone."

At this point, do what you want with Sara. Let's just let the story form on it own and it will come Alex.
Drako led the children inside as the guards bowed before him as he passed.Eve on the other hand sat in the tree as the rain came down harder.
"You know that you don't have to be afraid of your own abilitys.I mean, how long have you had them your majesty? Now me........yes! I admit, I'm still freaked out and scared about my powers but who's to say that I can't use them for good?"
Eve didn't even look at Yuki but continued to relax in the tree as the rain drops hit her face.

Yuki could barely hear her from the rain but didnt bother much to look up to her,"I was born with the normal nightshade demonic power but didnt unleashed it till......well since I'm nineteen again a year ago. However I too have had the spirit and now he has decided to wake from its slumber." She looks to her hand surrrounded in her fire that burned even in the rain coming down at the rate it was, in her mind she didnt know what to think but yet Eve did have a point, Yuki did the same thing with her own power and made the power of darkness into something good and not like her father who chose the dark way with his power. On the other hand Yuki was terrified of herself especially once inraged what she does to let it out,"I mean you saw the children and how they acted, Everest wont even look at me....that is not the reaction I want her or anyone to see unless its the enemy." she stops and uses her clawlike nails to climb up a tree and perches herself onto the larger part of the branches seeing Eve through the rain.

I walk with Sara down a winding path, one that seemed not to end. Upon reaching the actual end, I was amazed. She pats my shoulder as I gape up at the gold statue. It was not her, as one would expect would be in her hall of kings, but it was Death. Death from all the stories I had heard. Next was Scarlet, followed by some human I could not place. Then it was Axel the second, I knew him from a rather vivid story told to me by Jamie. Followed by that was Scarlet, again, and then Sara. Next to it, was Yuki. I study the statue. After her was a veiled statue, and it stayed like that, statues covered in a thin velvet sheet. "I have no idea where the rest went." Sara says behind me. "I- I found these here, thats why I built my castle here." She looks back to Gaband, and pecks him on the lips, I suppress a giggle. "But, you can see who succeeds me as the next greatest. I have no clue what she rules, but she is." I place a finger on my chin, and think. I had a pretty good idea.
"Your place as ruler of the universe," I blurt out. Gaband raises an eyebrow. "Yeah. Its that damn spirit she has in her. It would love to get at that. I think.... I think her father had it in him, at some point. Its all speculation, but from what I have heard, it would make sense. It would do anything for power. Yuki was not in the right frame of mind when she handed her realm over to you. But I see now what you are trying to do. You want her to be broken, so that she knows what it is like to bend to others' wills, right? Unlike you?" Sara nods. I had guessed right, score. "Well then. What do you want me to do?" Her smile widens. "Take care of loose ends when you are gone." I should have guessed. I sigh and sit. Unfortunately, I sit on a small ledge, and I lose balance. I fall backwards, and Sara bursts out laughing. Jurdean chuckles, and Gaband barely lets out a small giggle. I stand back up, my smile indignant.

Yuki watched Eve for a few minutes and looks to the sky as the rain continued to fall, it was a fact that she was battling with destiny and was losing the fight thinking she could run away from it but it wasnt possible. Once she saw Eve distracted by the rain she slowly slid down back to the ground and walked deeper in the woods. As her walk grew longer so did the lack of the grey sky now covered by the trees, finally she makes it to Black Swamp now in bloom of its infamous sin lilies. Yuki looks to her relection and steps into the water going out a few feet and sits in the water, the rain hit her hard enough to cover her face in her face but she didnt budge,"This isnt what I wanted to see, intead I wanted to foresee a rising realm from the ashes of the past and yet I failed to show it, even my training hasnt been much.....I always mess things up." A lily floats by and she picks it up examining the deep red petals but her head was in a fog to reconize its appearance, she used to think of how herself was like the sin lilies but with all the negative things going on it didnt matter. "Not anymore, perhaps I wasnt cut out to try and change fate and the ways of the shadow realm.....I tried but it just blows up in my face." Yuki burns the lily in her palm watching the ash fall in the water, her eyes grew dull as she floated on the waters surface not even trying to think.

I was alone again, in front of Claes. His face was furious. I wait for him to calm. "It will be good for everyone. I already know who succeeds her. She can be easily controlled like a puppet. The Gods can get back into control. Everything can go back to normal." He spends a moment thinking about it, and waves me off. I press on. "You know it as well as I do, imps don't lie about how people are feeling." He sighs, and finally agrees to it. Three hours later, Sara and Gaband are before him. I stand off to the side.
"I don't want to see you. You go out there, and live. I do not want to see you!" Sara nods vigorously, Gaband stays silent. "Good! Now, go!" He sits angrily. They leave, and I go out after them. Sara thanks me, Gaband only waves. And then, they are gone.

All she could hear was nothing but the rain yet now it was the only thing she could hear and see, she closes her eyes and starts to remember her past. Yuki's mind takes her back to when her father was alive and she was about thirteen, she skips along the handmade hopscotch board she drew in the dirt and skips a few stones and jumps to them but stops once her nanny Mindy cames to her,"Lady Yuki your father wants to see you....right this instant." Yuki tilts her head but didnt question her and followed her inside, the palace was the same yet the sky had a red hue to it from the last raid Cyrus had done to the neighboring city. Once in the throneroom Yuki sees her father sitting at his throne looking furious,"Daughter, your finally at the age when your powers are present but yet you failed to show me.....are you too stupid to not know its there." she holds her tears in since it showed weakness which wasnt something her father ever wanted to see her do but all she could do was look down, he looks to her in anger,"Go now away from my sight, I dont want to see you in that form now and I want to see your powers but tomarrow or they'll be punishment in you wake."
Yuki nods again and follows Mindy back to her room for bed, she could sleep but stayed still hating what her father told her. She wakes out of her bed and sits on the windowsill and watches the blood moon above simply muttering under her breath,"Father I hate you your dead to me." A few hours later noises were heared from outside her door but Mindy tells her to stay in her room. Yuki snaps out of her trance and sits up drenched from head to toe, she imagine the night her father was murdered and when she didnt shed a single tear as she remembered those words she would of never have said to him in person. "I wonder.....if that night I was as soul less like that night perhaps its possible to bring up that emotion again, its been always worry and hoping in my heart but then again....having a dark soul kept my father feared by all and got his way....I wonder." Yuki looks around but thinks the idea for a moment.

I walk along the halls of Sara's now empty castle. It was dark, lonely. It reflected what the universe's state was. I sit on her throne, the acting chief. I call upon a soldier, and he comes instantly. "Go.... go get Yuki Khilack. Bring her to me." My eyes shine darkly. I had to bring out the worst in her. I had to bring her to her knees and break her. I had to put the crown on her head. I had to do it forcifully if need be. I was hoping to appeal to her darker more selfish side though.

The rain sonn started to lighten to a drizzle and it soon was quiet, Yuki rises up from the water soaked completely and notices the odd silence around her which wasnt normal in the black swamp,"Theres something here, no sounds of the animal are present nor even the ripples in the water show themselves.....I think I'm not the only one in the swamp tonight." Yuki rises and walks back to the shore alarmed and tried to pick up the sound but was failing to pinpoint the source. "I shall summon the dark fox glare, if normal vision fails then that wont." She enchants the phrase and her eyes glow pure red and scans for any shadows but odd enough nothing was coming up and let her eyes go back to normal. She goes on around the water and walks keeping to herself though beyond a few trees not to far from her someone was watching her.

I wait.... and wait, and summon another soldier. "Go get the damn army. I want her...... now would be preferred. I wait..... and wait. Wait some more. Some more. I finally get fed up and do something I knew Sara had the power to do. I go up to a large black crystal, and then I call out for yuki. Ten seconds later, she is standing before me.

Her mind is unfocused of what had happened but after a few moment she realized she wasnt in the swamps nor even in her realm,"What is the meaning of this.....where is this place, the rain....the swamp.....where did I go." Yuki had no clue but somehow thinkback of what was lurking in the woods it had something to do with her prediciment. Looking to the floor dripping wet she noticed something was sinister from the surrounding energy she was senseing. "Whatever this place is....theres something much darker then me in the process." She stands and tries to look around for her capturer.

I clear my throat. "Yuki, you get the crown. Sara has left the position open. Do you want it, or not?" I smile. She turns, and faces me. "You can rule the universe, you can do whatever your heart's desire. If you say no, however, I am forced to put it on your head." I walk up to her, and my scarf shoots out, grabbing her ankles, and wrapping them to the floor. I grab the crown from a pedestal and hold it out for her.

"The Universe? why would I want to rule something as big as that if I already rule my realm....as for you forcing it on me its not happening." Yuki looks to her wrapped ankles and slowly her rage starts to come out and next summon her flame to her hand hoping to burn the scarf off her. "Noone forces me into thing I disagree in," her voice grew deep in anger,"Ruling such a vast universe could turn me into Sara....thats not me and I wont let it happen." Yuki aims at the scarf but the flames fly off not even leaving a scorch mark, she growls and tries to cut through but yet again it fails and no damage is present,"What magic is this release me this instant or your going to pay dearly for this abduction, we shadow folks dont think kindly of those who kidnap shadow royals and the punishments are seavere enough as execution.....I suggest getting out of this while you can and watch your words." Anything she tried to do she wasnt getting free and yet she looks to him furious as he watched her.

I smile. "You seriously think I could care? I live in the unholiest of places, thats the reason your magic doesn't work. If I had not killed Sara, she would have never been able to force me into this position. Please." I sigh and release her right ankle. I drag her along to the Hall of Kings, show her her own statue, next to Sara's. "See? Its been prophesized. Juts take the damn crown." When she again refuses, I throw he against a wall. I hear a few things crack. I wince for a moment, then continue my assault. After a while, she lay battered and beaten. I slowly approach her. "I could do far worse to you. Sara suggested rape, but I am no monster. Just.... take the damn crown."
