Sky King's Last Words Novels & Stories

He wanted to hear the word, his word, spoken aloud to seal his victory or his vengeance. “It has to be a word he associated with that moment,” Sabatine urged, looking at Evelyn. “What did he say? When he knew he had it?” Evelyn was crying now, tears of frustration and fear carving through her makeup. “He called me. He was laughing. He said… he said, ‘Checkmate, Evelyn. The king is dead.’” Anton stared at the microphone icon. The king. Their father? Him?

The other guy argued. "I won't tell anyone about the King." I spoke up, and three pair of eyes stared at me. "I mean, you literally said the king was in critical condition and might breath his last earlier at the dining hall Linus, so technically you have already told me the secret." Linus looked away in annoyance knowing I was right. The king groaned and we all looked at him. He was dying. Domenic crouched down beside his father. "Please father hang in there!" He pleaded and stared at Linus. "Get a human Linus, he needs blood!"

Kristopher said, looking apologetic. I sighed, folding my arms across my chest, as my eyes zeroed in on King. "What happened?" Kristopher shrugged. "He went all self-destructive before I got to his office this morning. He smoked a whole lot of cigarettes, and it triggered the attack." I was about to speak when King's eyelids fluttered open. “Avery…” he mumbled, his voice barely more than a whisper. I stood there as fury wrestled with pity inside me. “Please don’t go,” he croaked, his voice sounding like it was fighting its way through a fog.

“You must break the false bond before the solstice.” The words landed between us without warning. No introduction. No careful approach. Just the truth. Sharp and direct. “Or the king will die,” he continued calmly. “And this time there will be no Goddess to undo the damage.” His eyes held mine. “There will be no third life waiting for either of you.” “This is the last turn of the wheel.” The corridor became very quiet. I stared at him. He did not look uncomfortable. He did not hesitate. He spoke with so much ease like a scientist describing atoms.

He interrupted for the second time that day, "You are ten years too late." "I needed you then not now. I am a man and I can sort out my problems myself." "Okay son." King Gregory sighed, "But if you ever want to talk, know that I'm here for you." The door slammed to sound his departure and Nicolas finally let out the breath he was holding. Tomorrow the kingdom expected to see an execution and he wondered of he would be strong enough to go through with it. 'You're doing the exact same thing he did you hypocritical twat. Pushing your problems away rather than solving them. In this case killing them. Its not too late you should go see her and apologize.' His subconscious suggested.

Another muttered, “Surely not one of the human volunteers.” I let them sit in that tension for a breath. “Yes,” I said calmly. “A human.” The murmuring began immediately. “Impossible.” “A dragon king—” “A human cannot—” “Enough.” My voice cut through the room like steel. “She is not merely human.” That stilled them. Kaelith chose that moment to step forward. “She is the last-born Madrigal in this realm.” Shock. Real, visceral shock. One of the elders actually rose halfway from his seat before sitting again.

Due to lack of breath and cold embracing her Zara passed out. “Bye, bye, Zara Darling…” Were the killers last words she heard Seeing Zara passed out, the killer pulled his silver weapon out of his hood. He raised his hand in the air to finish and brought it towards her chest….

Before Lucas even attacked the Rank 5 Earth King Ranked Realm Golden King Kong, the latter let out a shriek. Swoosh! A wind-splitting sound could be heard and only Lucas' after image was left behind the scene where he was initially located. The Rank 5 Earth King Ranked Realm Golden King Kong noticed he was unable to catch up with Lucas' speed. Swoosh! When the Rank 5 Earth King Ranked Realm Golden King Kong snapped out, it was already too late. "That's the end of my life!" Following the statement blurted by the Rank 5 Earth King Ranked Realm Golden King Kong, his life ended for good.

"Speak." Rowan raised his head slowly, and when he did, he stopped looking at the king to turn his gaze directly toward Lyria. The impact was immediate; her heart began to beat with a violence that pained her chest while her eyes swept the room in search of an exit, of any way to stop what was about to happen—but there were no open doors, no gaps, no escape. Then he smiled, and that smile, calm and out of place, was far more unsettling than any gesture of fear would have been. "I have one last thing to say," he said with a blood-chilling calmness. "I will take my secrets to the grave… but I am grateful."

“God, thank you. That—means more than you know.” Kingsley nodded, looking back toward the fire. Katherine turned his attention back to her “And I heard what you said too. When they asked what you wish you could say to someone.” She turned to him again. “Can I ask… who was that person?” Kingsley gave her a knowing look, soft, vulnerable. “You know who.” Katherine stared at him, her chest tightening. “I was talking to you,” he said. She gave a small smile, almost pained. “You said you were sorry for not fighting for what mattered most.”
