The war had been won but small battles broke out two annuls later, I stand with Fia and Tess. "Max enough, you're needed in the Farlands. The twins need to get to Pompay while I can take and will take my own legion to the outter rim to engage. Finaqua is well guarded, Tess and Fia will be alongside me; we have no time to debate." Larek was away, I was not fully sure where he vanished to.

Maxwell sat with a heavy sigh as the twins looked beyond all reason, "Crimson, that is dangerous. We have no clue where the Dupes are at." my hand slammed on the hologram cause the feed to disrupt for a minute.

"The longer we wait the more that could die, you as King have to do what is right it means those decisions will not be easy."

Our eyes locking as he worried, his head filled with near endless possibilities. "You're right, we are all needed in separate areas. Bren and Michael, you need no instructions on how to handle the battle raging in Pompay. I will head towards the battle on going in the Farlands engaging there while Crimson takes her legion to the Outter Rim to finish the battle, our people must know we will not sit on our thrones while the Kila battles alone." he stood now, his voice so regal making everyone listen, I just bowed my head.

"I am leaving in five, Tess and Fia have my legion ready." Tess and Fia are allowed to dress as they please. I was a Princess, so my current attire was not suitable.

Isabel and Liz are fuming behind me as we take the left corridor heading to my chambers, "You really do impress me, Kyle and Alex have not returned. Max promised to bring them home from the Farlands, you have to be safe the Outter Rim is ancient and evil lives there." Isabel was more worried about the Outter Rim than anything, I have heard tale of the region.

Liz gave me a look, "You understand what you're going against, they are there; evil draws in evil." she could see the future just as I could, but she never told Max the Dupes are there.

I pulled off my dress leaving it on the bed, but Isabel gave me a look hanging it up, she was nesting as was Liz who was holding Zander in her arms as he nibbled on cheese.

I had my bra hooked than the dark golden long-sleeved tunic that was asymmetrical, the paints black as the void with F`ilore snake paneled sections, black ankle boots with F`ilore straps. Half my hair was pulled back by clips the rest was braided down my left side as Isabel placed my Tiara on, it never came off while in battle, with my hunting bladed clasped firmly to me I was ready to go into battle.

Liz and Isabel are very round as we hug and whisper to each other, but now Max's turn with Liz as I am on Sleipnir, the twins looking as if they wanted to come to me, their emotions gave me the impression they are worried sick but for now they do nothing.

Max wraps me in a hug, "I know they're there, evil dwells there but you're pure enough to bring light back to my mother's birth place, come home safe." his head pressed against mine his hand clasped the back of my neck.

I copied the movement, "You be safe, Liz is due very soon. Watch your back."

I was sad when the twins rode off towards Pompay, Maxwell was gone heading South to the Farlands. "We need to pass the twins our journey is longer, we will hit the trail of Hilo that will speed our journey greatly." Fia yelled as we rode hard, Tess was beside me as my guard life takes turns you never expect.

With a nod, I placed my hand on Sleipnir whispering and within an instant he was picking up speed in great lengths our legion was now passing my twins, I chanced a glance back.

I called out, "Be safe." then I turned knowing they heard me by their emotions, but they are pushed from my mind as we ride through the night, we sleep little as we ride. The suns rise in sync making a kaleidoscope of colors cross us as we hit the barren Outter rim, it was right out of a horror sci-fi movie. The towers are dark, as the battle wages below us. "WE JOIN THE KILA IN BATTLE, TO DEATH OR GLORY."

The war cries came from behind me as I was the first to start towards the fray, the Kila are on their last leg but we bring reinforcements as Fia gave me a nod before taking the left path leading to the Realm of the unwanted, the pale ones. I changed to my human appearance charging into battle with Tess, the legion clashed into Kivar's supporters, his army that wanted vengeance against the King.

Sleipnir was safe now away from the battle as my blades came out, it seems the other battles are distractions from this one, it was massive. Tess was very good in battle as we fought together, by night fall my body was growing fatigued as I slashed down on a Linth, we have defeated most of their forces by morning this place was once great, the magic could be felt pulsing under my feet as I raised my hand.

Then I was tackled from the side, our bodies rolled intertwined with each other but once free I was on my feet, Tess was instantly at my side.

"Dupes."

There they stood, "So glad to be in your presence Princess Crimson, and in human form. So stunning." it was Rath, evil Michael.

I rolled my eyes, "Sadly the same will not be said of your presence."

I watched as behind the twins, Fia arrived with the pale ones they charged into battle, they're pale, but like an eggshell color pale. Xanthos snarled seeing their forces being wiped out faster than they expected, but more came pouring from the smaller towers, but we would win.

I slashed with Tess joining in, Fia left her kin coming to join our fray not very fair three against the twins but they have power so not like we're fairing very well. His blade sliced my cheek, it was a flick to show me we would not win, but I just needed time as my bruised and bloody body was getting real tired.

But we three girls are holding them, both bloody as I make a wide arch making a huge gash against Rath's skin, with that small distraction I dropped placing my hands against the ground the dirt incased my hands. Tess and Fia are trying the hardest to keep the twins at bay. "Let this place be one of love, of light, the birth place of the Great Queen Shala. Find me worthy and cleanse this place." it was surreal the magic of Antar was touching me, it was endless, and pure like heaven or what I could picture heaven like.

Than like a ripple the barren land ceased as lush foliage sprouted, flowers and bushes blossomed. The lake rose again in a dark red color like a vintage red wine, animals rushed the fields to graze. Tall trees showed themselves all ripe with fruit from this region. The place and the towers all became lighter gray with vines circling the towers, I swear a Disney Princess was going to toss her hair from the tower, but it never happened. But three massive F`ilore snakes came, I was terrified as they stopped looking us five over, Tess dropped as did Fia and since I was down that was where I was staying in fear of the massive snakes who could eat me whole.

I watched the twins backing away, then scattering taking their now depleted army with them, we have taken three-fourths to the weeds (Heaven). I could barely stand, we have battled for three days and two nights.

I stood as Rila walked forward, he had long hair like his daughter, the same icicle eyes. "Princess Crimson, we have waited to meet you. Fia has spoken highly of you shall you need us all you must do is call."

I bowed, "You should serve our King."

But he gave me a pitying look, "He was the one to put us in the realm."

I spoke even though angry, "King Zan is not the King you remember, he grew as a clone on Earth. I beg of you to meet him at the feast learn he has changed, let King Zan make peace."

Fia smiled taking her father's hand, "Papa please."

Rila looked worried but trusted in our judgement "I will meet King Zan once more, if he proves me changed all will be well and we will serve the King once more."

With that it was time to go home, I rode Sleipnir back to Finaqua hoping my brother, Kyle, the twins, and Max fared well in battle since I looked like death.

Maxwell's mind touched mine, he watched the battle and the end result and my anger towards him for what he had done to the pale ones, he was going to get an ear full to.

Tess, Fia, and I let the stables take our horses as we walked into the front gates leading to the massive place. I was hurting more than I let on, so when we walked into the throne room seeing my brother, Kyle, the twins, Liz, Isabel, Larek, and Maxwell all waiting with baited breath their eyes racking over mine.

The twins, Isabel, Liz and my brother rushed forward as Kyle embraced his wife, but they never reached me as I sidestepped and sent Max into the pillars "Fix it Maxwell."

Then a voice I have not heard in months spoke, "Crimson, that was very mean." I spun my heart racing as my eyes locked with those of my step-mother Fiona, next to her was daddy, Liz's daddy, Jim, Kyles dad, and the Evens.

"What…" was all daddy said seeing me hurt from the battle.
