Chapter 23
"The Cathal rule is protected and safe, While guarded by powers of heavenly strength, Will angel given powers I shall fight, And overpower Hell's weakening might, For strength and power built in Hell, Can not defeat my heavenly spell, My snow and frost will rip apart, the beating of an evil heart!" Comes ringing out of my mouth without my consent.
It's a strange feeling to be conscious and aware of everything happening but not in control of myself. It's like I'm watching behind a glass wall it's like a dream. I look down at the battle field and I see the two armies collide and bodies fall to the ground dead. I try to yell I try to get back in control of my body but I can't.
Do something they're dieing! Pleas I thought you were going to help us! I scream to the angle in control of my body.
Relax and trust us dear child we will attack when the time is right. First you must witness an event. Look. The angel says through my mouth.
I look down and my eyes immediately lock on the horror unfolding before me. I see Destin fighting Blake, Seren fighting my Trayizon, and Tacia locked in combat with Malo. I hear a shriek of pain from the direction of Destin and Blake.
One thought runs through my head when I look over at them Noooooooo! Destin!
He is laying limp on the ground blood covering his body pouring from a wound on his chest. Blake looms over him with a wicked smirk on his face. He killed him. He killed Destin. I will never get the chanse to make up to him and show my love. I will never see him smile again. I will never see the man I love alive again all because of Trayizon and Malo's army.
Anger reignites in my heart furry bubbling over and burning my heart to a black multan stone.
"All those fighting for Malo know now," I pos "I will kill each and every one of you. Especially you three Malo, Trayizon, and Blake for you I will personally rip out all of your hearts with my bare hands!" I yell and everyone freezes as I fling out my hands.
As I raise one hand all of Destin's army and family float into the air then fly over to the castle dropping them on the ground. The same hand slowly turns into a fist and a dome of ice forms around the palace creating an unbreakable shield. With that done I look at Destin's body behind the dome letting furry over take me as my head snaps back to Malo's frozen army under me.
I can practically feel the fire burning in my eyes as I fling both hands to my sides in fists. I uncurl my fingers and suddenly a wild storm breaks loose. I am no longer holding the army's still only fear is as they watch a blistered coming towards them along with lightning. Screams cut through the air as the blistered hits the army.
I watch as the mighty demon warriors are reduced to sniveling cowards seeing their friends reduced to ash by lightning strikes or the skin burned of by my asid snow.
I here Malo yell "Retreat!" and her fighters run for dear life back for her montain.
The storm stops just a quickly as it started and the ice dome melts as I fall from the sky. I'm back in control of my body but I am too exhausted physically and emotionally.
I hit the ground and for some reason it feels like i've been dropped in a warm river bank. What is that? I think to myself.
I slowly lift my head to look at my surroundings. I'm laying on the battlefield surrounded by bodies many of them are the demons that skin melted off by my acid snow. What I originally mistook for water I know realize is blood it covers every inch of the field making it mushy and warm. The weird this is that my surroundings don't shock me or disgust me all that I feel is numb.
I put my head back down and just stare at the sky and think about what has happened in the few hours today. Trayizon is here and tried to kill me. Queen Gratia is dead. I have weird powers. I killed hundreds of demons. Blake killed- Blake killed my Destin. I can't believe he's dead. He probably died hating me. I caused this so now I have to fix it. I need to kill them. I need to kill Blake, Malo, and Trayizon.
I'm so deep in my thoughts that I don't even realize someone is kneeling over me crying until I feel a teardrop on my forehead. I blink couple times and focus on the figure.
"Mom?" I croak my voice hors.
"Oh Rana! You're Alive!," She cries as she pulls me into a bear hug. "We've been so worried we couldn't find you then when I finally did you had glassy eyes and you wouldn't answer me," Her voice cracks "I thought the worst. But you're okay everyone will be so happy." She says with a big smile.
"Everyone?" I whisper.
"king Tueri, Seren-" She says but I cut her off.
"Destin?" I say hopefully maybe he's not dead maybe I'm wrong.
My hopes are crushed at the look of pity in her eyes as she says "He's not going to make it sweety. He's in the infirmary if you want to say goodbye before he...."
I instantly get up and run to the castle. Zipping down the halls to the infirmary slamming the door open to a weeping Seren and a teary eyed king. An extremely pale Destin is motionless in the bead except for the soft rise and fall of his stomach the only sign he's still with us.
Seren looks up and when she sees me she runs to me pulling me into a hug just sobbing on my shoulder. I hold her until her sobbing turns into soft snores at which point her father takes her.
"I'm going to go put her to bed then go to sleep myself so you can say goodbye." His voice cracks at the end and my heart breaks just a little more for him.
When the door closes I take the seat next to Destin and hold his cold hand.
"I am so sorry Destin," I say taking in a deep breath "this is all my fault. I couldn't protect you, I brot Blake here, I ruined everything. I know you hate me and I know you probably don't want me to be here but as you've obviously realized by now I'm selfish. I just want to be near you so much. I just love you so much that I can't just stay away from you when you're dieing. I wish there was something I could do to keep you alive. I don't care what the cost would be I would do anything. Even if it meant trading places with you I would do it. So many people need you your kingdom, your father, Seren,....Me. I'm sorry my kind prince. I'm sorry. I'm so sorry."
We can save him. I hear the angel's voice in my head say.
What? I reply.
We can save Prince Destin's life but for a coust. It says.
I don't care what it is I'll do it just please save him. I plead.
Okay but you must from now on do whatever we tell you to do for it will be for the greater good. You will be marked for the heavens and you may never leave Scrios. It warns me.
I agree to the terms you just stated. Now please save Destin. I say
Very well now rest child you are tired when you wake the deal will be fulfilled. The angel commands.
I squeeze Destins hand and say "Don't worry I took care of it you will survive."
As my eyes start to close I swear I feel Destin squeeze my hand but I fall asleep before I can react.
*****************
"Lila?" I hear a strong voice whisper causing my eyes to fly open and my head to snap towards Destin.
He is sitting up in the hospital bed staring at me in shock.
"Destin you're awake!" I say with joy.
"What happened?" he asks
"Well Malo's army attacked and Blake almost-" I start to say but get cut off by Destin.
"No I know that stuff but I mean what happened to your eyes and when did you get tattoos?"
"What are you talking abou-" I say but stop when I see my arms.
Stretching from my finger tips to my elbow there is an intricate navy blue tattoo design on both hands. The pattern is made of snowflakes and lightning bolts that make it look like I'm wearing lace gloves. I run over to the mirror and see the design continues on my upper chest but dead in the center is a sun and angel wings.
Wait didn't Destin say eyes?
I build up the nerve and look at my face in the mirror gasping at my new eye color. They are no longer chocolate brown they are a rich royal blue that seem to have silver and gold stitched into them.
"there beautiful." I hear Destin say from directly behind me.
I turn around fixing him with my glare as I say "You need to be in bed resting I mean you almost died-" I say but Destin cuts in once again this is getting annoying.
"I feel brand new and look not even a scar is left of any of my wounds."
I quickly check then say "so no pain anywhere completely healed?"
He nods his head and opens his mouth to say something but stops when I take him to the floor in a bear hug. We are both laughing once we stop we just look at each other not being able to stop myself I pull Destin into a kiss. He stiffens and it only takes me a second to pull away to hurt and embarrassed to look at him now that we are standing.
"I'm sorry I shouldn't of done that. I'll just go...." I say making my way to the door.
I'm stopped when Destin grabs my wrist and pulls me into a sweet kiss. When we break apart we are both trying to catch our breath.
"Lila-" Destin starts to say but I cut him off.
"My name is not Lila at least not any more from now on I am Rana Rabidus and no one else."
Destin stairs at me with awe a he says "I love you Rana."
I smile a big goofy grin and say "I love you too Destin and I always will."
