Chapter 25: The Coronation
* 1 month later *
A boat was sailing in the middle of the water with 5 people on board towards Angelgard Island, the boat finally docked.
Vanessa: Are you sure? If you ever have any doubts whatsoever
Reza: Don't worry Vanessa, I have absolutely no doubt
Vanessa: All right.
Reza: It's time we split up, I have to go alone.
Waldo: We're gonna miss you, Reza.
Reza: Iris
Iris: Yes?!
Reza: Do you remember when you came to me and asked me to be my shield?
Iris: Uh, yeah.
Reza: During those 1 months you stayed by my side and today I ask you this question: When I come back will you still be my shield?
Iris : Yes, me Iris Amiticia will be the shield of the queen and will be by your side when you come back.
Reza: * smiled* So I'll see you soon.
Erik : See you soon stupid princess
Reza: See you later
She saw her comrades waving at her one last time before leaving with the boat is to leave her on the island.
Reza: Let's go, Rex.
Reza saw an entrance, his ring shone brightly as he made his way down the stairs.
Reza: Looks like we're getting a voice.
Reza walked into the cave feeling guided by something, she heard a little squeak, and at her feet was Carbuncle
Reza: Carbuncle !
Carbuncle: Follow me
Reza followed the little blue fennec to a large hall.
Reza: Where are we?
In this room there were statues representing the saints, but the one in the background depicted Clarissa
Reza: This statue
Clarissa: Welcome to my tomb
The spirit of the former queen was there again before her, Carbuncle ran to her and went into her arms.
Reza: Carbuncle, but why would
Clarissa: He is my familiar and represents my daemon and he has watched over you and your brother since you were born.
Reza: Your familiar... You said this is your tomb.
Clarissa: This is where my body rests, I've always been looking for someone who could bear my inheritance and you were born.
Reza: ...
Clarissa: You have a great destiny to fulfill.
Reza: Please, Your Majesty, why does Ardyn want to destroy our family for you? I want to know.
Clarissa: Take my hand, let me show you.
Reza then took his hand and visions of the past flashed through his head...
Clarissa: It happened long before our era when our family began to take power and the disease of darkness invaded the hearts of humans, there were two brothers, one of them wanted to stop this disease by blood and the other one who absorbed the evil in himself saving many people,
the crystal had chosen him to be the new king but out of jealousy the other brother drew his sword but the one who took the blow, was the oracle.
Swallowed by grief evil took hold of him spanking him an immortal being leaving only hatred and vengeance.
Reza: What does this have to do with Ardyn?
Clarissa: One of the brothers was Ardyn.
Reza: What
Clarissa: Her real name is Ardyn Lucis Caelum.
Reza: Ardyn's part of our family.
Clarissa: * nod your head*
Reza: So that's what it's all about...
Clarissa: Raise your head young queen, you have nothing to blame yourself for, it has been decided so, but you can change things, the king is the shield that protects the city but you are the sword of Insmonia, the slayer of the god who defends evil. Here, take this. It's time.
A block near the tomb opened and a blue sword was placed in its place.
Clarissa: This is my sword, the empress's blue blade, taken from here...
Reza: May she beautiful sword
Clarissa: Follow me now.
Reza followed the queen's ghost into another room and against all odds it was a throne room.
Reza: A throne room here!
Clarissa: It is time for your coronation, but one last thing you should know: for the darkness to disappear for good, your brother will have to sacrifice himself.
Clarissa: But you can also do the rite, it is up to you to take his place or not.
Advance to the throne
Reza stepped forward to the throne and before her stood the spirit of Luna
Reza: Luna!
Luna: Nice to see you again Cereza
Reza: But how
Clarissa: The Queen must be crowned by the oracle, that's why her spirit is here.
Reza: Luna forgive me, I'm so sorry.
Luna : *smile* Don't be, I'm glad I can at least see you one last time, my dearest friend.
Reza: Luna
Clarissa: Good, now bow down.
Reza bowed to Luna
Luna: On this blessed day, a new queen is born...
Luna put a crown of silver and crystals on Reza's head...
Luna : Raise your head, I, the oracle Lunafreya Nox Fleuret, crown you.
Queen Cereza Lucis Caelum
Reza now queen sits on the throne
Luna: Now enter the eternal sleep waiting for the chosen king and obtain the grace of the gods.
Reza: Goodbye Luna, goodbye Queen Clarissa
Sleep well, your highness.
