CHAPTER 16

Kuon shook Kyoko in a desprite attempt to wake her; King Tarkio fell to his knees near his daughter, and Ren moved already growling and cornering a scared Saena.

"W-what are you doing, it w-wasn't me! Darling, Tarkio." the evil queen squealed, "Get this beast away from m-me!"

Finally getting Saena to the corner, before he could attack the king stopped him. Now standing Tarkio walked over to the woman who killed his only daughter, the only person who reminded him of his one true love. As he walked Saena's fear grow bigger, standing in front of her was the Light King; light that can be gentle like rolling water or can be harsh like roaring flames.

"Why?" he stopped beside a still growling Ren, "Just tell me, us, why?"

Trying once again to lie and tell them it wasn't her, she looked into Tarkio's sad angry eyes. Looking directly at her he spoke, "I never loved you, I never wanted you. Why do you think I wanted separate beds, do you forget that I am of light? The purest of the pure… you cannot place a weak love spell on me!"

Looking more outraged he stepped closer, "The only reason why I decide to get remarried was for Kyoko's peace of mind! I know now who you are, Saena. You're the friend of my Lillian… you're the one she told me about. And you're the one who caused her death!" the room was cemetery quiet, nobody moved. And on Saena's face was an inhuman smile…

"Oh yes… that was me who caused sweet lovable Lily's death! If it wasn't for her getting in MY way, Tarkio, you and I would have been in love! But no! Stupid Lillian had to get in my way and steal your love from me!" tearing she breathed," and to make matters worse, she gave you a daughter! You loved me first, at that ball you would have asked me to dance if Lily didn't get in my way! Tarkio I've always lo- *SLAP*…"

Staring wide eyed at the wavy blond that slapped her, Queen Julie, "You poor excuse for a woman, if you loved King Tarkio you would've been happy for him! And now because of you little ugly jealousy, you killed my son's only love interest! It is you who put a bad name to women, with your over jealousy and possessiveness… Women like you should never, ever be loved!" finally finished Julie stepped back and walked past the king to Kuu who was comforting their son. Watching as she walked way, Saena felt the only emotion she had left, rage.

"If I can't have Tarkio, NO ONE CAN!" chanting a spell purple mist surrounded her body, bones were heard cracking as she grew and the stone wall began to break under her pressure. Saena changed her body into a dragon; once the transformation was completed she slammed Tarkio. Ren's instincts, of course, prepped him for what may happen and he flow with Tarkio much like when he protected Kyoko from that outraged beast three years ago. Both unconscious Saena wanted to finish the job; about to smash them with her tail a force stopped her. And it wasn't the Pure Beings; they weren't even in the room. Looking to the terrified huddle that was the people, they, she smelt weren't scared of her… still holding his Kyoko; Prince Kuon's body was emitting a lot of powerful dark aura. At the pit of her stomach Saena was also terrified of him.

"Dad, hold Kyoko for me… I know she'll hurt, but mom isn't strong enough to hold her…" handing his love to his father who winced at her light, walked over to the dragon. Finally appearing the four sisters stopped time.

"Kuon you have to be ready to face her on your own… we can help you of course, but we can only do so much. You have a weapon don't you?" ask Amy seeing him shake his head she presented him with a sword that had engravings on it, "This is an ancient sword, it is somewhat magical. It can slay anything, as long as you hold on to it, Alizarin should protect you from too much damage." Nodding time started up again. Saena got confused at Kuon's sword and the sisters who suddenly appeared.

"Now, Queen Saena… where was I?" Kuon still emitting black aura that was getting bigger, walked closer to her. In common senses she stepped back, using her tail she bashed a hole in the wall and quickly stepped out. Flying away in her dragon form she stopped at the drawn bridge there was a barrier placed, smiling devilishly Kuon began to run to her. However he was stopped by a hand, looking to who the hand belonged to Kuon saw Ren's disapproving expression.

"If you are going to fight for Kyoko, don't fight like a monster… Kyoko, you're doing this for her, don't forget." Eyes clearing he nodded and took off, and the coward peeked from the castle where the hole was. Having enough and out of fear Saena breathed out fire, but when she was done Kuon was still standing and Alizarin was glowing red.

"NO! That sword…" she roared and blew out fire again and again. Kuon simply walked through it, slashing her belly she howled in pain and flow up. Fire balls started falling and hitting everything. Throwing Alizarin at Saena, but she miscalculated where he was sending it the sword pierced her left wing. Groaning in pain and trying to continue flying as she attempted to pull it out, Elena helped Kuon who jumped off a high tree to reach the sword. Now holding the sword hilt Kuon pushed his body weight down and the sword sliced the middle of the growling dragon's wing. Jumping before she could spit fire, Kuon landed and rolled away from her falling body.

"Painful isn't it Saena?" he asked her, "Not as painful as seeing your love die, oh wait… you know that pain too."

Glaring at him angrily, she blew out blue fire, of course he dodged but right into her tail. Throwing his body to the castle wall with a hard landing, coughing out blood he stood up easily like nothing happened.

"That all you got Queen Bitch?" smirking Kuon ran towards her, and she breathed out more fire. Not stopping he ran through it and slashed at her mouth, succeeded in cutting her fiery lips. Roaring and blood falling to the ground she got up and tried to whack him with her hands and tail. She managed to scratch his shirt and a little of his chest but no heavy damage. Upgrading her transformation she added spikes to her body. As Kuon tried to slash her tail, she slammed him to the wall this time leaving him with two thin wounds on his back. Blood trickling down his back, Kuon got up again ignoring the physical pain.

"Oh you bitch! How dare you injury my son!" a new dark presence was noticed, Kuu had watched enough handing unconscious Kyoko to Ren, he walked up and drew his sword.

"Dad…" giving his son a hand they both smiled and turned to the now terrified dragon as two dark beings approached her, and she knew she was going to need to kill both.

"Best you can do, Saena?" growling she threw a big bolder. And Kuon sliced through it with Alizarin, smiling he jumped off the pieces of earth that Melodia pulled out. Jumping he was above Saena, "Now!" once he said that she fired out at Kuon ignoring his dad.

Kuon flew through the fire, but had bits of sparks on his clothes raising the sword over his head and she knew what was coming she tried to escape by walking, but she went tumbling down. Kuu had tied her legs with vines that the sisters magically made. Letting out a short scream Alizarin kissed through the dragon's tough skin, using the fire element that it got at the beginning of the battle.

Saena was dead, but there was no celebrating shouts... no there was only sorrow filled silence as the broken prince made his way to his forever sleeping love.
