"Serenity, This way!"
The moon palace was being destroyed by Queen Beryl's forces. Princess Serenity, prince Endymion As well as four of Serenity's most trusted soldiers were being locked a away for a reincarnation ceremony. A spy named Zarthos, who was holing a bag of supplies, had designed the ceremony and chosen where it would be preformed. They reached the room he had chosen. Zarthos handed off the bag to one of the soldiers. "there are instructions for the ceremony in the bag, as well as all the ingredients you'll need"
"Thank you" Serenity said.
Without another word, Zarthos barricaded the the door behind them. Just then, two demons had turned the corner to find him. One of them pulled out a sword and charged at him. Zarthos used his magic to summon a flaming chain which he used to strike the demon, causing him to disintegrate into ash. He swung the chain again, this time several chain links ejected from the chain, morphing into small kunai blades, and shredding the other demon. He ran in the direction where they came and found three more. He incinerated them all in one swing of the chain. He ran out of the castle to find himself face to face with a whole army.
The chain dissipated. He raised hos hands, knowing there was no point to fight, as the ceremony was probably complete my now. The general Nephrite walked up to him. "we accept your defeat, asshole" he said before punching Zarthos in the face, knocking him out.
Zarthos woke up in front of queen Beryl's throne, his hands chained to the floor. "Zarthos, once: general to my army. Now: traitor to your demonic brethren. What should I do with you?" she asked rhetorically.
He remained silent, just glaring at her. "Zoisite, bring me a crystal" she ordered.
Her general returned with a crystal and handed it to her. " the punishment for treason as you all know, is having your soul locked in a crystal" she puts the crystal to Zarthos' chest, and as his soul was sucked out, the crystal became a translucent black. She removed the crystal, and his body flopped lifelessly to the ground. "you could be useful, as powerful as you were" she chuckled.
