FAZER LOGIN"Already tired?" Arik taunted, moving closer and attacking with lightning. Cedric blocked it, but his hands were badly burned. Before he could react, Arik closed in, grabbed his hands, and snapped them with a loud crunch.
"Ughhh..." Cedric groaned in pain.With Seraphina's help, Cedric walked to the edge of the throne room. The eclipse was ending, and he looked over the city below."What now?" Seraphina asked."Now? We can finally be together and love each other. But first, let the people know who their new king is." Cedric raised the Moon Sword, and red lightning crackled across the sky, from the sword to the clouds.Finally, the Black Eye disappeared, and the sun shone over the Capital, lighting up the battlefield. Cedric lowered the sword."It's over."CHAOS OF PEACECedric sat by the window. The morning light gently filled the simple room. The view from the window overlooked the ruins of a castle. He had been sitting there all night.He wore a royal red suit. Hi
The bolt of lightning coursed through Cedric's wet body.Everything went dark before his eyes.His heart stopped.====Cedric slowly opened his eyes. His first thought was that he was surrounded by snow. Everything was white, as white as white could be. It was a white void, or perhaps his vision simply couldn't pierce through the white emptiness to see what lay beyond it."Am I... dead?" He touched his body."Not yet, kiddo."Cedric recognized this voice and turned around. It was Eligh. The old man looked exactly as he remembered him, as he had seen him last time--tired, with a sword at his waist and kind eyes."Eligh!" Cedric hugged the old man, burying his head in his shoulder. They both smiled."I missed yo
"Already tired?" Arik taunted, moving closer and attacking with lightning. Cedric blocked it, but his hands were badly burned. Before he could react, Arik closed in, grabbed his hands, and snapped them with a loud crunch."Ughhh..." Cedric groaned in pain."I think that's enough. This day will be remembered for centuries." Arik turned his gaze to the castle and the ruins of the throne room. "Do you think your mother's awake yet? I want her to witness your death. She saw your first breath, and now she'll she your last."Arik collided head-on, dragging Cedric along as he stormed toward the castle. He was too strong; Cedric couldn't break free of his grip.Seraphina sat by her daughter's body, blood staining her temples.She cradled
Cedric brushed a lock of dark hair from her pale face. "If only you hadn't lied about the 18th descendant...""Lied?" Arik moved to the edge of the throne room, watching as a dark object was about to completely obscure the sun. "You cling to these prophecies, believing I have deceived them, but they have all turned out to be true, haven't they? The true 18th descendant wed the last descendant of Leronse, your mother. And you - you will forever be remembered in history as the 18th descendant who betrayed his homeland. You will die, eventually, for the 20th to be born. I won't kill yours and Seraphina's child. I'll let it live and raise it as if he or she is mine--the 20th descendant. You are the enemy of the Dynasty, created by these prophecies. And
He turned a man to dust with a snap of his fingers, barely even noticing. And the worst part? He enjoyed it."Do you really mourn this murderer? Was he dear to you?""He was. There was goodness in him. He wanted peace, just like me, and was simply trying to find his place in this world.""There is no place for someone like him in this world.""That's not for you to decide... You had no right...""No, but I had the power."Her face twisted with anger, and she attacked again. Their energies and powers clashed in a single surge, and this time Elowen did not hold back. "You bring only pain and suffering. You have brought war to our own home. Dad was right about you!"Her assault, fueled by anger and fury, only grew stronger
"It's always been about her!" Elowen angrily gripped the armrests of the throne, crushing the marble with the owl's powers. "It's always been about her from day one! You didn't care about the Eclipse; you didn't care about saving the world. You just wanted her - you needed your precious Mommy. You wanted to be her new husband, and when it turned out that saving the world meant killing Arik, you became an obedient dog and went off to do what you were told. You're just a pawn. You're an idiot, Cedric.""Elowen, I beg you... You should be on my side. You are my sister.""I am the Eclipsian Queen. I am the chosen one, and you are my enemy."Emerging from behind a column, Tilidus stepped forward. He held a prisoner in his grasp, silver hair cascading over the man's face."Gargantua?"Even through the veil of hair, the disfigured face, marred by scars and cuts, was unmistakably visible. Tilidus smiled as he brought a blade to Gargantua's throat."This man was the leader of a Cult that dedic
