Servant of Evil


O my Queen, you have me as your faithful servant alone
We were twins, torn apart when our fates should have shone
O my Queen, to shield thee from danger's deadly call
I will sin, I will kill, I will sacrifice my all

My name is Allen MythBloom. I am 14 years old and I am the older twin brother of the Queen.

No one knew this of course.

Everyone thought I was simply her servant.

Fourteen years ago we were both born into this hell
Praised and blessed by the people and the tower bell
Being in our family we must play by the rules
Even if we look the same, I am destined as your tool

Our parents had died when we were very young. Thankfully we were taken in by the kind teachers of Ravenwood who swore to be our guardians. But one day that all changed. The King and Queen of Avalon had recently found they couldn't bare any children so they came to Ravenwood in hopes of adopting one of us. Only one. They chose my sister, Rylee. She was pulled away from me and the King made it very clear I was never to see my sister again.

No one ever came to adopt me though. I was raised by the Ravenwood staff until my 13th birthday. News travelled that Rylee was now the ruler of Avalon as the King and Queen had died in a famine. This was my chance to once again see my precious little sister.

I stole the world key from my all too trusting guardians and head of to Avalon. I travelled to my sister's castle and demanded to speak to her at once.

Which was difficult considering I did my very best not to call myself her brother.

They can swear you their enemy, or curse all they want
They can brandish their wands, and be on the hunt
Never fear, never cry, I will always be near
Let not your smile, my sun, turn into icy tears

"Who is it?" I heard my sister's annoyed sigh as she walked down the hall to where I waited for her "I was about to take a bath- Allen?"

I saw tears beginning to appear in her eyes. I felt my own tears coming as well. She looked so much older, yet she was still my twin. It was embarrassing to say I was identical to a girl ... but I was. Rylee dismissed the guards and ran up to hug me. It was a bit of a shock and I tumbled to the ground ... but neither of us really minded.

My sister was smiling ear to ear tears of happiness pouring down her cheeks.

I loved my sister's smile.

O my Queen, you have me as your faithful servant alone
We were twins, torn apart when our fates should have shone
O my Queen, to shield thee from danger's deadly call
I will sin, I will kill, I will sacrifice my all

Rylee and I both decided that it was only best that nobody knew my true identity. It would be too much explaining and people may attempt to dethrone her for not being the true daughter of the King and Queen. Instead I was quickly made her top and most trusted servant. I didn't really mind much though. I loved to spend time with my beloved sister. I enjoyed doing things for her, it made her happy. My sister's smile was very important to me. By running errands for her I got to see it that much more often.

While running errands in a peaceful town nearby
I ran into a pleasant Theurgist with emerald green eyes
Smiling with her face so fair, singing with her voice so bright
I was captivated then, knowing love at first sight

One day Rylee announced she wanted new dresses. Rylee already had a lot of clothes, a different outfit for every single day. But if it would make her happy I would gladly go get her new dresses.

I made my way to Abbey Road where I knew of a seamstress who would make my lovely sister's new dress.

"Hello, welcome. How may we help you..." I was greeted by a girl who appeared to be a Theurgist as I walked in. Her voice slowly got quieter.

"I'm here to find a new dress for the beloved Princess." I smiled "My name is Allen."

"My name is Mindy." the girl replied with a grin "And this is my friend Jordan." she motioned to a Pyromancer who had been watching me from the back "Our boss isn't here right now, but we would be glad to help you!"

"Thank you very much." I felt my face turning red...There was something about this girl I really liked, I think...It was love at first sight.

But this love will remain locked deep inside
For the Queen gave orders, "The girl must die"
I will answer her wishes, her mind I will ease
So why, my Lord, do my tears fail to cease?

But this love was not to be. The Queen gave orders that all Theurgists under the age of 18 must die. She gave me special orders to find out the Theurgist that had taken the man she loved away from her. She said his name was Kyle, and he was visiting.

She had information that the girl was working under the seamstress.

Mindy.

But to make my sister smile I would do anything, even end the life of the one I loved.

I found Mindy walking through Caer Lyon.

"Allen! Hi!" she looked up with a grin "Are you here on a walk too?"

"Something like that." I responded

"Would you like to walk together then?" Mindy asked "I have some very exciting news I can share with you!"

"Oh really?" I asked

"Prince Kyle has asked me to come back to his world with him and get married!" Mindy grinned

I felt something snap in my heart. I was happy for her...but why did it hurt so much?

I slipped the athame out of my pocket.

"What are you doing with that?" Mindy looking confused rather than scared.

"I'm sorry." I whispered the words feeling tears begin to pour down my cheeks

I lunged forward and sunk the athame into Mindy's stomach.

She raised her wand, to try to heal herself or fend me off I did not know but I knocked it from her hand before she could do much.

"I'm so sorry." I whispered once more

Mindy looked up at me a small smile still on her face "It's okay. I forgive you."

She died in my arms.

O my Queen, you have me as your faithful servant alone
We are twins, like two seeds in the soils of madness sown

I would never allow to let Rylee see the pain she had caused me. It would cause her pain as well and being the cause of my sister's pain was something I never wanted to live with.

"O my Queen, your dessert for today is Weirwood Cake"
And you smiled, and you smiled, innocent without a flaw

Rylee was shaken by the war that was now raging outside. Wizards everywhere had grown unhappy with her proclamation and were now attacking our forces. But I knew her favorite treat might make her feel better.

"Allen, am I a terrible person?" she asked poking the cake with her fork

"Of course not!" I exclaimed "Don't listen to a word anyone says about you. You're perfect so please...keep on smiling. I love your smile you know."

Rylee quickly replaced her frown with a smile.

"Thank you Allen."

People of Avalon were possessed with fear and rage
Threatening to kill the Queen, to move on to a new age
If this is what they call a retribution for her sins
God's words I will go against, for the life of my twin

The war had weakened us. I heard rumors that people planned to come kill Rylee, that...I couldn't let happen. My sister was a good person whether they thought so or not. She didn't deserve death.

My fears were proved to be true.

They came to the castle led my Mindy's friend Jordan. They planned to end my sister's life. I couldn't allow that.

"Here are my spare robes, now wear these and run
Don't turn back, don't stop, don't talk to anyone
Don't you worry we look the same in every way
No one would ever notice that you got away"

Rylee looked up at me with a tear stained face.

"Wh-What?"

"Please Rylee. Take them and run." I smiled at my sister pulling her into a tight hug "It'll be okay."

So Rylee did as she was told. She wore my clothes when I wore hers.

My sister would escape.

She would live.

O now I am the Queen, and you the escapee
We are twins, like two boats in the stormy sad seas
They say you are a lady of vice and disdain
Then I am evil as well, with the same blood in my veins

I was captured as the princess. I did my best to imitate my sister's voice (not that it was much trouble considering my own voice was very high pitched.)

"Such a disrespectful man!"

Jordan looked at me with such hatred, I knew deep down I deserved that look much more than my sister. At any time I could have stopped the pain she was causing. I could have begged her to let Mindy live.

Instead I just chose to make her happy.

Once upon a time in a world far away
Where a lot of crimes were committed every day
My lovely little sister who was fourteen years of age
Was crowned as the Queen, dancing on history's stage

They tossed me in jail and said I was to be executed at 3 o'clock. I sat in my cell pleased with myself. They truly thought I was Rylee, there would be no way my precious sister could be harmed if they thought she had been executed.

I didn't mind dying for my sister.

They can swear you their enemy, or curse all they want (Finally, long awaited, the time had come)

I was lead towards the guillotine. I heard the tower bells ringing, though it was hard to hear. The crowd was cheering. How badly they wanted my younger sister to die.

I hated that.

They can brandish their wands, and be on the hunt (The deafening chimes sounded a little bit glum)

I just wish I could see my younger sister one last time. I'd get some sort of an assurance they she would be alright.

My wish was granted.

Never fear, never cry, I will always be near (The crowd showed not a sign of sympathy)

Rylee pushed her way to the front of the crowd and looked up at me.

She smiled.

Let not your smile, my sun, turn into icy tears (Grinning to the world, you spoke my line on your knees)

I smiled back "Oh it's time for tea!"

Everything went black.

O my Queen, you have me as your faithful servant alone
We were twins, torn apart when our fates should have shone
O my Queen, to shield thee from danger's deadly call
I will sin, I will kill, I will sacrifice my all

My name is Allen MythBloom. I am 14 years old and I am the older twin brother of the Queen.

Nobody ever knew that of course.

Everyone always thought I was her servant.

Somehow in our next life, if we ever meet again
I think I would like to be your twin again.

Maybe in our next lives that will change.

Oh how I'd love to see the smile of my precious little sister again.
