Myand'r and Luadin'r ran into the courtyard, they're eyes darted between guards and servants who were frantically trying to fortify the palace, the attack had come upon the capital suddenly.
The king and Queen searched the crowd for their daughter,
"Komi!" Laudin'r shouted, Harros noticed them and ran through the crowd,
"You 2 need to get to the stronghold," He said trying to urge them back into the palace,
"What about Kommand'r?" Laudin'r asked panicked,
"I have my people looking for her, right now I need you 2 safe in the stronghold" He assured them ushering them through the wide doors behind them when they were through he bolted it shut.
"What about Korriand'r?" Myand'r asked,
"I already sent word of the attack to her study hall" Harros pulled open a door and motioned them to wait, he stepped forward but stopped before he could enter relief on his face "Komi there," The king and queen watched as a blade ripped through the back of his uniform, He stepped back as the blade was pulled free, he stumbled to the floor gasping for air, Kommand'r stepped through the door with a bloody sword.
"Komi that was Harros" Myand'r said shocked, she glanced at the man on the floor with a sad frown,
"I Liked him, but he would have tried to stop me" She raised the sword toward her parents, "Get on your knees" She demanded,
"what are you doing?" Luadn'r asked,
"I'm putting an end to the old Tamaran" Myand'r tightened his hand into a first,
"By destroying your home, your people?" He yelled,
"By destroying the people who you let abuse me, your daughter, for things I had nothing to do with" She yelled back striking him with the hand of her sword, Why didn't you protect me?" She cried, but he ignored her,
"If you see it fitting to let so many of our people die than you are not my daughter" Kommand'r steadied herself with several large breaths,
"Than tonight when I pray for forgiveness, I will not ask for forgiveness for murdering my father but instead the assassination of the king of Tamaran."
Metropolis, 4 Years Later,
Citadel Airship.
Kommand'r swung her foot into her sister's stomach again, Kori lay curled up on the steal floor as the assault continued, eventually Kommand'r took a step back breathing heavily,
"This was the girls favorite game, they liked playing with me naked on the girl's room floor" She brought her foot back for another kick,
"I'm sorry" Kori coughed her voice shakily "I didn't know"
"Stop lying" Kommand'r yelled kicking out, the edge of her shoe caught Kori along the side of her head, her eyes widened as Kori lay motionless on the floor, she got on her knees and took her sister's head in her hands, she let out a breath when she saw her chest rising and falling with labored breaths.
"She's not lying to you," Barbara said after a minute,
"What would you know" Kommand'r muttered,
"She loves you," Barbara said softly,
"Then why didn't she help me?" She yelled,
"She didn't know"
"Our parents did" Barbara went quiet.
Kori groaned as she woke up,
"Time to play another game" Kommand'r got to her feet and stepped over to a small drawer and pulled out a small alien berry,
"No" Kori groaned,
"This is a bod'r, it grows on Tamaran and is used in a lot of things, like medicine and drink, but it can only be used after its natural poisons have been removed, it's not usually deadly the side effects are pain and temporary paralysis" She approached Barbara and Kori's face turned from dread to horror "but I don't think a human has ever tried 1 before"
