Chapter 4: The sacrifice
"You bitch!" yelled the prince. He swung his sword, piercing the woman's arm. She then stabbed the prince in the leg, tripped him and hit the handle of her sword in the back of his head. She ran out the door. The prince lay on the ground, defeated. Life was slowly fading from him. He could see Kaileena outside waiting for him in his mind. He smiled, then closed his eyes.
Outside Kaileena saw the cloaked woman flee from the stable. Kaileena began to run toward the stable when suddenly, the building fell to the ground, smoke and ash rushing into the air.
"NO! PRINCE!" cried Kaileena. "Why? I can't do this alone. I need you to help me. We were to do this together." She fell to her knees. She put her head into her hands. She had now lost the man she loved. Why though? Was this really how her and his destiny would be? It couldn't be. They were both going to stop the Mahaterage and the Second Empress. But the prince was dead now. He was gone. She was alone in this now.
Kaileena got up and looked into the distance. Through all the smoke the burning city made, was a large palace. That was where her destiny lied. She would finish this. For the prince and herself. She would not let the prince die in vain. In the morning, she would go and finish her fight once and for all.
