It was painful but a bit relieving moment... It was heart aching to see your teammates.... Rather two lovers blast up.. Kissing each other. For the last time. At the same moment you are free from the struggles. The war which seemed to go on for centuries. It was impossible to defeat those eidolons. They were immortal and untouchable souls. Even though Harry unleashed hundred percent of his power , he couldn't harm the eidolons. Harry's power are still a mystery for me.

I looked around noticing that we all were free falling towards the ground, head down. At last another floor cleared but again on the cost of our teammate's lives.

Suddenly the world around was engulfed in smoke. A soft pair of invisible hands helping me on a soft landing.
A loud chorus boomed around.
"Hail the name of the new king and queen. Hail the name of the new king and queen."

Everyone around got up one their feet with me.

Suddenly a huge crowd of eidolons appeared. Again. No one had the strength to fight with these eidolons now. This time the face of the eidolons weren't mangled up. They were clapping their hands and were shouting with joy. The crowd looked similar to that of a crowd that's watching a parade.

They still repeated the chorus again and again. The new king and queen.

Suddenly from the huge crowd of eidolons appeared three figures in royal robe. Bright red with golden borders and a hood on. They had brooches on their robes according to their rankings. They had the RE brooch on their robes, which only the royal branch of the eidolons owned. One of the three figures was the eidolon which possessed Mallory. My blood started rising up on the sight of him. His face was much pretty. His mangled face turned into a soft face with blonde hairs and blue eyes. He gave a sweet smile at everyone.

We all stood in a defensive position protecting each other's back.

"Guys won't you greet your royal friends." Said one figure in the royal robe. In a voice which seemed to be blessed by holy waters but at the same time sounded familiar. The figure lifted up the robe revealing her bright face, short blue hairs and watery blue eyes. Mallory.

Everyone's eyes widened up in shock. The other figure lifted up his hood revealing the sharp face with bright red hairs and dark eyes. Leo.

What are they doing in the royal robes? The situation seemed kinda obvious but weird at the same time. Everyone was about to open their mouth and attack them with a huge wave of questions, when Mallory raised her hands signalling to stop us. She looked at the huge eidolons who started speaking.

"You are blessed with amazing friends. I was so much blinded by the feeling of revenge that I couldn't control myself anymore but the love of the two..... opened my eyes." He said placing his both hands on their shoulders. "Now as you see we have decided to make them to king and queen of eidolons so that we don't go on the wrong path ever again."

I and Claudia launched at the same moment to hug Mallory. The new eidolon queen but went right through her. Oh yeah she is and eidolon now. She gave a short giggle giving both of us a phantom-group-hug.

"Go ahead guys." Mallory said moving back. "You have to complete the game now. Don't worry. You will have the eidolon force by your side. Don't let anyone die anymore." She said resting her head over Leo's shoulder.

"Yeah guys. Go ahead. Fearlessly. You are free of your weakling now." He said stroking Mallory's short blue hairs.

"You weren't a weakling." I answered feebly under my breath.

"Best of luck guys." Leo said waving his hands saying his last words. Maybe.

-----------------------------------------------------

"Even though we are winning. Its worthless where you lose a teammate on each floor."

I opened my eyes noticing Harry, Damien and Claudia circled around me. Oh! A new floor. I closed my eyes again to get me some rest. The last floor was filled with drama, emotion and agression.

Everyone's face was filled with guilt and regret. We lost three important teammates, more of friends. Root, Leo and Mallory. Now Harry was my biggest worry. Unaware that I had already fallen for him. He felt special to me now. That happened spontaneously and I couldn't hide the fact anymore. I still didn't confess to him but the kiss on the last floor might have said it all. I didn't want to become a burden for him or anyone.

Seeing Leo do every possible thing to save Mallory and see Mallory do the same in return gave me butterflies in my gut. The gave everything till death. True love. Although I don't Harry to do the same but still its fascinating for any girl.

Damien too was a worry too. His actions made it obvious that he was in love with me. He grew very arrogant since the last floor when I kissed Harry. Deep down I got the feeling that he was planning something deep down. Something very wrong.

"Flora are you gonna sleep for lifetime?" The voice sounded like Claudia's . I opened my eyes to see her face. Her expression seemed in worried expression. I sat up on my back and noticed the guys sitting facing the opposite side, their faces were filled with anger.

I looked towards Claudia. She was frantically shaking me. At the same time pointing towards towards a wall. I didn't notice it all the time but noticed that everything was made of Marble and gold. Dead remains of a castle. It was huge and magnificient. I could imagine how beautiful the castle would be before it was engulfed deep in the earth. The pictures on the wall were filled with dust and the gold was rusted off. A huge dome stood above our heads. Professionally and perfectly crafted in marble. Amongst the whole part of castle I saw, this part shone the most. A beautiful lady sculpted in red marble. Her face filled with soft features. Her arms wide open with veils around it. Mother Gaia.

No. It can't be. In childhood I heard many stories about Gaia's castle from Grandma. She described the castle in the same way. Decorated with white marble and pure gold and over heads stood a giant dome with Gaia's painting on it. A strange vibe ran down my spine. I could sense her around. Calling me.

Claudia again shook me off my thought pointing towards the same wall. I focused my eyes to see the some letters on the wall. Before I could read it, the wall holed out and huge television crawled out of the hole. It lit off with Mr.D's face. The same as devil. Burned red skin with only one eye lit up. I didn't know that it was just me or everyone noticed it but his face seemed weakened up. I really smelled something fishy.

"You seem to be enjoying the game." He coughed. "The game wen't easy on you until now but the real deal begins now." He coughed again, much coarse one this time. "No one is going to escape from my game of death. Now die." His voice boomed the surrounding like a hunter's bullet in a peaceful forest. Just moments before the television faded off back in the hole. A much softer voice boomed. I wasn't sure what it said by I could make out the words. "Take care, Harry." And I think everyone heard the same. We all stared Harry who had his face down on the ground.

The words on the wall which I tried to read before the television popped out of the wall reapppeared.

Grass.
Didn't I warn you you to beware of someone?

You are dead now, Flora.
