After the fifth month since I rejected my brother's call, news
reached me that he had been killed and all of the Alloysians were murdered.
Every last of them, Alloy had now been captured. Only me and my daughter are
the last few of a race. I dropped on my knees in anguish and punched the
floor so many times. My cries were meaningless to the stars but I did not
care if they ever did. Hundreds of curses ran through my throat but never
came out. No one, not even the Gods nor the power of my wife possesses
could'nt bring them back to life. My wife took my hand into hers once more
and said. "It is not your fault." Or is it not? I asked myself the double
question.

"We're only a few now, you and me." the blond sat privately beside
his daughter's crib. Both of his hands gripped his forehead with pain and
grief. "I've told you my whole life. Sooner or later I expect the new owners
of Alloy to discover that only the natives of that planet could only tap its
resources. One by one, they would track down every last and I am sure one
day, they will come for us too." The king then faced the starlit sky.'I will
protect you, no matter what happens, even if it is my end.'

The child on the crib looked through her father's figure, not
understanding the jumble of a word. Though it seems very serious.

"I am also explaining this to you for the benefit of you not
repeating the same mistake again as well as possibly our last daughter-father
talk. You and your mother can never be compared to jewels for all of you are
priceless to me and irreplacable. That is what I learned from everyone, from
the lowest of servants to the highest of the Emperors." he was continuosly
cradling the child, giving kisses of love on her forehead.

There was a creak heard nearby the door. He turned around to see
Queen Serenity almost in tears. "I've heard everything...Will this truly
come to happen?"

The king only nodded with sad eyes."Yes". and gently placed the child
on their bed, prepared himself for her words. "I knew you were listening."

"No. I will not allow neither of you to perish...We've been married
for only two years!" she pronounced and slammed the huge door behind her. Her
crystalline tears were starting to drench her robes.

"I will not accept death so easily, Serenity. I will die protecting
my only family left if I can. I shall be careful in every step I take but in
case something unexpected happens, I love you Serenity. And this-" he pointed
at the sleeping child "Is the proof of our eternal love that will last
throughout every galaxy."

"Alloysius, I can no longer go on without you. I'll--"

"No my love," placing his ungloved finger on her lips this time. He
knew what she would say."It is not your time, you have to finish your
motherhood." the blond rested his grief-stricken head on hers while she
tilted her head nearer to his heart.

The beautiful Queen only silenced. 'I don't know what will I do. I
don't know how." she repeated to herself.

Surprised? This is how I originally imgained it. I always keep the best for
the last. I'm guessing that the next chapter will be the last.
