Chapter 39: Lady Destructia
(Mag's POV)
The entire room was red and annoying. I wanted it all dead. Lloyd was safe with the others at least. I ran at every snake I saw like it was my enemy, because right now they were. I love to kill things, especially evil things. But in a second my mind is brought back by a yell. "DAD!" Lloyd! He just called 'dad'. I looked back to see father with the skeleton army. But what he's saying is faint. Something about controlling his own destiny. I think that did it. My eyes changed back, my teeth grew normal, my hair faded back to its angel blonde, and I was me again. I saw my sisters holding their faces as they went back to normal too. The skeleton army was attacking. I think something about everyone not liking snakes. The whole room was thrown into a battle. I could only keep whacking snakes as I saw them. But we all stopped once a voice sounded loud enough to fill the room. "YOU DISAPPOINT ME PYTHOR!" "What was that?" Ally asked. "Forgive me Lady Destructia!" Pythor was pleading on a tall rock in front of the cave opening. "Who is he talking to?" Lloyd asked. "YOUR INCOMPITANCE HAS LED TO THE NEAR END OF THIS QUEST!" The voice grew closer to the entrance. "I DID NOT SPARE YOUR LIFE JUST FOR YOU TO FAIL!" A woman came out. She looked human; long blood red hair in a braid, bright florescent green eyes, ordinary skin color, and she wore a long black dress with a see-through middle and a sash around her left side to her back that held the dress in place with a golden pin. "Please Lady Destructia, be merciful!" This woman must be powerful to have him be scared. "Pythor, I will spare your life," she turned to face the crowd "but now I see I must be the one to lead this mission." Pythor bowed on the rock, "Yes oh great goddess." "Enough," I yelled raising my staff "who are you and why do you believe you can simply seize control of another species in mid-battle!?" She grinned at me. "If it isn't a Garmadon girl. My haven't you all grown. It's been a while since I've heard about you," What is she talking about? How does she know us? "Who are you?" I commanded. "Allow me to show you my true form," she said. I had no time to question what she said as she slowly faded to a new form. She was a tall pink serpentine with bright red eyes and a florescent pink gem on her forehead. She wasn't like the others; her whole upper body was very human like. She had her hair, a woman's chest and build, and she didn't have a snake snout but a nose and ears. But she had a very long tail, a sharp thorn at the tip of her tail, two curved spikes on her shoulders, and her outfit covered her pale pink scales with blood red lips. "I am the Serpentine goddess Lady Destructia, and your mother talked an awful lot about her children." What is she talking about? Mom? How does she know her? I walked backward to my sisters. I couldn't understand what she was saying. What does she mean our mom talked about us? "How do you know our mom?" She slithered down to where we stood. I saw the others being blocked back by a wall of serpentine. Seven or eight were trying to keep father in place. She was face to face with us when she grinned and showed two white fangs. "I know her the best of all. I'm the one who killed her." I couldn't speak. I couldn't think. But then I noticed the gold bow at the end of her braid. That was our mom's bow. She would wear it every day. "Mom's bow," I mumbled. "Yes," she grinned "and my trophy of her kill." Then a sharp pain hit my stomach. I looked down and saw her tail's point in my chest. She violently pulled it out and the pain made me topple over. I was bleeding out on the ground. I could hear screams and yells from all around me. Father's scream grew louder and louder. I felt him lift me up off the ground and carry me. I could barely hear. I heard 'please don't die' and 'I'm sorry' and I blacked out.
