2 years later

After many years had passed the black kingdom had flourished and Tranquility had blossomed into a beautiful young woman, who had learned to fight with grace and had achieved at the same age as princes her place as captain of the royal guards, but a day that was to be one of joy to the kingdom was one of despair and horror, The Day the King Died.


Earlier that day

The King and Princess were walking down the private gardens that Queen Atala cared for with her own hand and now Tranquility did to visit the statue that had been commissioned on the day of her death.

Fenix looked to his beloved daughter who held a wreath of Silver and Purple Star Roses and White Moon Lily's with Green ivy scattered through "Tranquility darling I now you don't want a party but you are turning 18 and its expected" Stopping his daughter he rested his hands on her delicate shoulders and looked into her eyes to see sorrow in them.

Resting a hand under her chin he lifted her head a little to see her eyes fully "What's wrong star?" looking to her father her normally violet eyes bright had darkened down to a deep purple stuttering out her reply "I..I just …I just don't… think we should cel...celebrate that's all." Confused Fenix looked his daughter's hand and realised why, while today held sadness for them because of Atala's death.

Looking to the starry sky he thought of his queen and looked back to Tranquility's sad face and hugged her as close as he could, feeling her arms around him he whispered into her hair "Your mother would have given anything to be here with us you know that right and she would have wanted you to celebrate your 18th birthday in style" pulling her head from under his chin she looked to him in pain "But.." she started "Don't finish that sentence, we will remember your mother with this party we'll have a two-minute silence and a toast to her, yes?" A large smile lit up Tranquility's face "you'll need a new dress."

Pulling a face Tranquility told him "I know exactly which dress to wear Daddy; I don't need a new one." Looking at his daughter he smiled and they continued there walk with smiles on their faces.

The closer they got to the statue the faster the smile slipped of their face until they were looking right at it, letting go of Tranquility arm she went and rested them against the grass floor, pulling her into his arm hand resting on her waist he pulled her into a tight hug and looked to the marble stone a soft smile tugged at his face, pulling out of the hug his gloved hand tilted up her face and looked into familiar purple eyes and rested a soft kiss upon her brow and smiled.


After spending time in the gardens they pair started to walk back to palace until a loud snap stopped them, the bushes started to rustle. Fenix knew something was wrong and pushed Tranquility to back to the palace doors "Go… Go quickly call the guard and send them hear, put on your amour quickly… GO" he urged, barging through the doors and panting alerted the staff who were decorating the room that something had happened pouring a small amount of her powers into her voice Tranquility yelled "GET THE GUARDS NOW" running to the armoury she heard crashes coming from the gardens below telling the man who was closest "Send as many alert messages to everyone hopefully someone is willing to help us and do it QUCIKLY" watching the man run to do what she asked she ran into the room and pulled her armour over her dress she begged anyone who would listen to send someone to help them, ripping her dress to upper thigh she quickly slipped on her boots and grabbed her sword on the way out.


Looking around the room in shock she had never seen such destruction a quick look to the window showed another wave of them coming, running down the stairs, she pushed her way between Pyrite and the man he was fighting and the one coming from behind him, pushing her sword between the flesh side of his armour, pulling out she took the other one that was coming.

Rushing past taking who she could with her she made her back to the gardens where she last saw her father dodging who she could and help who was needed it, until she was pushed against the floor a flash of pain hit he arm the sword hit the bared flesh, at the same time a boot was stopping her from getting until fear entered her as the sword was raised above her, closing her eyes, the blade never made contact and the weight on her chest lifted, a black head of hair was facing her with black upper body armour on, seeing the man who pinned her on the floor she stood and took the next fighter that came at her, back to back the black and silver armour met as they both took on a group of six fighters.


"Trust me for three seconds" came the voice of the man whose back was to hers "Okay then give me your arm" flinging her hand into his she felt him propel them around in a circle lifting her feet she ran the circle pushing them down the staircase or back into the others, Tranquility dropped back to her feet as they slowed finally looking to the face of the man who helped her she was met with the Prince of Saturn Centuriy, "Hello Princess, where do you need to be?" came the quick response his face hard "Privet garden, my Father and Hello" she rushed "Let's go" the pair made a dash for the garden taking as many as they could until they saw Fenix duelling one on one with the leader.

Keeping their backs to the King they pair were joined with the Pyrite, Azul, Onyx and Malachite as well as four members of the Saturn guards, keeping the fight away from the pair. Seeing colours flash from around she knew that powers had started to fly, this was never a good thing as more could get hurt and the fight could make into the city, a loud scream caused her to turn around from the fight.

Blood pooled around the body on the floor, the armour less body of her father, a sword in his stomach being pushed down by the man, every one stopped as the man started to laugh a bone chilling laugh, feeling tears running down her face and pressure in her chest, a purple and silver haze filled her vision, a pressure in her chest grew until the haze left her vision flooding into the crystal in front of her.

Unconsciously reaching forward she cupped the crystal and sent a large burst of energy out, stopping the fighters, the blood stained cloths she wore changed as a bright light covered her.

As the light receded she was dressed in a long Grecian dress rippled in a breeze of sheer power, the tight silver armour that she wore gleamed on her upper body with the crest of the black moon and stars, a long cape of purple and silver flared out around her starting at her shoulders, her upper arms were covered by the dresses short sleeves, silver gauntlets on her lower arms were embedded with amethyst and in her hand was a staff of black metal with the glowing crystal that burst from her chest. Her eyes snapped open glowing purple and silver with sheer power.


Looking up the women the nine men looked to her in shock as she spoke they could hear Tranquility in their head "The creed of the Peace has been broken and all those that have broken that peace will be branded with a black star on their hand" as she said this her power flared out again and a ringing scream echoed around them "You will never be able to hide from me or others for the traitors that have been marked, each will have a no peace for the betrayal they have caused", her feet finally set on the floor, everyone could see what she saw inside their heads.

"This man will be the first to fall as he led the attack" the staff in her hand transformed into a blade of crystal, lifting the blade "Each of you bear witness" a swish was heard as the blade hit the armour and pierced straight through to his heart.

Watching as he fell "the last of the life's taken this day, the rest will live and remember this day and feel the pain of the people you killed and families you tore apart you will never be at peace again" the power around her fell as did the image she held leaving her, in the tatted dress and ruined armour she had on, the staff still stayed with her.


When she started to fall forward Prince Centuriy ran over before she could hit the floor dropping to his knees her face pressed against his neck soft breaths hitting his skin moving her head to see her face he caught tired violet eyes looking up, looking over to the men he nodded, her four guards sagged in relief their Princess and friend was going to be okay.

A cough broke them from thoughts as they turned to see the king still breathing "CALL A DOCTOR." Was the last thing she heard before blackness took completely.
