Chapter 11:

The End and the Fallen

Apollo, known for his cruel and barbaric displays of his enemies,

Put Chronos and Morva on Sun Amber Crosses, hanging them by their

Hands while their feet, necks and wrists were bound by rings of the same material.

Using his Solar flames, Apollo formed a whip and left a lash over Morva's left eye, leaving a

Scar and a burn that never allowed him to open his eye ever again. Again and again,

Apollo whipped Morva, disfiguring him, scarring him, trying to make the Saturian male cry out.

Like his training beaten into him, Morva did not utter a word of Ameus's location. But soon

It didn't matter. He was bloody and weak as he hung on his cross. Chronos was next.

Instead of whipping the former prince, Apollo beat him with Sun Amber knuckles.

Ameus stood above them on a pile of rubble that had once been barracks for the Manticore

Children but now it was soaked with their blood. Ameus's Chimera blood was boiling,

Manifesting her animalistic traits, allowing her to hear one last thing her teacher said:

"No matter what happens to me, or to that boy-you will die. You have brought

this upon yourself and as her teacher and mentor, as long as I draw breath in any realm

I will never let you lay a hand on Ameus.

I would rather die than let her marry you and be your abused bride.

Chimera Class Ameus of the Saturn Moon Titan is truly Crowned Princess

Cronos Rea-my daughter and the Sailor Guardian of this defeated star.

In the name of the Father Star, I, King Chronos of the Silent Star, pass my crown

And my power to you, my sweetest child. Arise, O Fallen Phoenix!

Arise and cleanse this world of this unholy bastard and his plague!"

And with that last testament on his lips, Chronos's mighty power shot into the sky

Before arcing and slamming into Ameus's body. A father's smile on his lips,

Chronos closed his eyes and let the Serpent Gods of the Underworld

take him to his awaiting wife, family and people.

Apollo looked up at Ameus-nay, he looked up at the new Supreme Commander

Of the Saturian Imperial Army, the Star's lost heir, Cronos Rea.

"I'm a princess? I'm a real princess?" She muttered, tears welled in her eyes. Her eyes felt anger boil deep in her heart, bubbling her long stagnant powers back to the active usage it had once been at. "There has to be one more chapter. I want-I need to find out what happened."
