The Road So Far…
"You and your husband are a threat and I am going to weed it out!"
I remembered Severin's words carefully as it was a warning to those who never wanted me to be with Reiko from the get-go. It was when I was struggling with my mental health as it ended up taking a toll on me. Now, that I've gotten bolder, I wasn't about to let anything else get in my way as I was also part of a prophecy that was long overdue, for it was a way and mean to prevent further disaster in the form of a long blizzard. Everything was falling into place as this prophecy was a mural in which it was also a way and mean to fulfill the roles that were given to me and Reiko, for it was a long overdue process that was both set in stone and made willingly.
"So, Jack was keeping everything at bay the whole time," I said.
"As soon as this shit show is over, we ought to give the guy a large fruit basket," said Guido.
"At least you're doing your part in which the King of the Grey Havens said that the future is neither set in stone nor put there willingly," said Jesse. "You and Reiko are the key in stopping the eternal winter, Sam, for it is also the will of Jack Kline himself."
"That's good to hear, but we also have to be on the lookout for Queen Karen, who's gone cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs while hopped up on an acid trip."
"She's also starting to lose her sanity bit by bit," I said cautiously. "We also can't let our guard down in which she's still reeling from the loss of her brother. She's unhinged, but her delusions have played out like an old film being played over and over on repeat."
Without warning, I saw a gunshot pierce through Jesse as he was wincing in pain. Turning around, we saw Desdemona as she was maddened with rage in which she was glaring at us for escaping that room. The grin on her face sent a chill to my bones as she was ready to strike again the moment she was holding a gun in her hand. The sight of Jesse clutching at his shoulder made her cackle with glee as she was ready to shoot at Guido the moment he saw something surrounding her. He spotted an aura unlike any other that was there as it was parasitic in nature. Using the Sight of Valithis, he spotted a hym attached to Desdemona as he also saw it to be a threat the moment he was ready to excise it from her, but to no avail, for she has already succumbed to her insanity.
"Stop right there!" she shrieked as she had her gun set on us. "You can't leave! I won't let you!"
"You completely lost it," I said as I was shaking with fear. "You're losing it because of the fact that you have nothing left after you were ousted from power once Dean ascended to the throne. You're slipping and there's no way you can weasel your way out of the mess you made! You're also on borrowed time all because of the fact that the hellhounds will come for you even after your father made that demon deal."
"Me, completely losing it?! Oh, no; it's you that's losing it the moment you helped that warg kill my brother! Yes, I know that it was you who became the silver dragon and stopped Iago from destroying the Trujillo Clan's homestead, Sam! I also know that you killed some of Jacob Doran's men the moment I had a meeting with him to discuss a new death warrant against you, but he refused the deal because of the fact that you're very valuable to their cause. The warmth of the Ashizoka System will be replaced by a veil of cold, for this prophecy is dead!"
Without a shred of remorse, Desdemona turned her gun towards Guido as she shot him in the shoulder while he was wincing in pain. Jesse was also clutching at his own shoulder as he glared at Desdemona the moment he was fearing the worst. Without further hesitation, I had to help both Guido and Jesse, but was stopped when I saw a bullet being shot onto the cemented floor. She was eager to do her worst with me as I felt a dart prick at my arm the moment I fell to the floor, for I was knocked out when she stood over my unconscious body.
"The prophecy will never be fulfilled and the eternal winter will forever reign!" she screamed.
Now…
Elise and Nibori rode on the silver dragon as they landed on the island that was mentioned earlier. When the dragon changed back to Reiko, she noticed the two retainers dead as their throats were slit in which they didn't have a chance to fight back against Desdemona's delusions. When Nibori spotted a trail of footprints on the sand, she used her talisman as she spotted a trail that led to the abandoned munitions dump. By the time she led the group to the where the derelict was, she saw evidence of soulless dolls being manufactured, but there were only Barbie dolls and old action figures. What she didn't expect was that she saw Guido being guided by Jesse as he was suffering from a gunshot wound in his shoulder. Reiko also noticed him seizing as she sensed that he was poisoned in which she had to do something, for the bullet that pierced him was slowly killing him in the process.
"He's in bad shape," said Jesse as he set Guido down on the sand.
"No…," said Reiko as she was fiddling at her bracelet. "I won't let Guido die like this."
"That's no ordinary poison that he's got," said Nibori as she saw him foaming at the mouth. "It's qu'urska poison and it's very toxic!"
"Is there any cure or anti-venom?" asked Elise worriedly.
Without further hesitation, Reiko unraveled her bracelet as she took a bead that was blessed with raw power the moment she walked towards Guido. When she forced the bead into his mouth, he was swallowing it as he was starting to feel it go down his gullet while trying to fight off the poison that he had in his body. She was concerned for him as she was wanting him to fight for his life, for she also didn't want Casey to be distraught if something horrible happened to him.
"What the fuck did you do?!" he cried as he was spitting out foam from his mouth.
"I made you swallow a bead from my bracelet," said Reiko.
"Desdemona has Sam! I can't save him this time because—"
"—No! I won't let you die here! Casey needs you! She is waiting for you back at the villa in which she wants you to be alive…" A surge of raw power emanates from Reiko as it surrounded her and Guido the moment the poison was drawn away form his body. "I beg of you…, DON'T YOU DARE TRY TO FADE AWAY!"
Guido felt himself being saved as Reiko was thankful that he was still alive. Even Jesse felt the gunshot wound he sustained be fully healed as he saw a miracle that came to pass the moment Nibori and Elise rushed over to Reiko's aid. When Guido was up on his feet, he felt at the gunshot wound he sustained as it was fully healed, but carrying an imprint of raw power, for he was saved from the jaws of death at the last minute.
"Thank M'Quii that you dodged a bullet," said Nibori as she got out a first aid kit. "You're very lucky that you lived or else the qu'urska poison would've dissolved the internal organs further."
"That bitch," said Guido as he was still reeling in pain. "That cold, calculative, bitch! She's got Sam somewhere on this island in which she's even got those Ken and Barbie dolls she unearthed. I know that she's snatched him and strung him up somewhere, but she's gone off the fucking deep end in a nutshell!"
"It's Desdemona, isn't it?" Guido nods. "She's unhinged, but a lot worse than her brother in which she revels and craves violence just like a kid getting hopped up on a large bag of Skittles. As for what she's doing here, she's been unhinged since Iago's demise, so I suggest that we use extreme caution when it comes to dealing with the crazy person on this island. As for what she pulled, she's not the type to roll over and play dead quietly when it comes to her own personal kind of insanity. She may be from House Arkhelios, but she's a danger to everyone right now."
"You don't wanna go up against Desdemona," said Jesse worriedly. "She's gone mad, but the hym that keeps a hold of her is changing her into something more… inhuman… I've seen her come here as if she owned the place, but she's more insane than anyone else in particular, especially Lucifer."
"Are you serious?" asked Elise as the old man nods. "I heard stories from Uncle Bruce about those things in which they feed off the negative emotions of their victims. They're dangerous, but eager to drive their victims to the point of changing them for the worst."
"We should follow the trail," said Reiko. "I know that Sammy is in that old place, but we must be careful. Desdemona is dangerous in which she's become a harbinger of the eternal winter that still waits in the wings. I know that I don't do much, but I can't let that cruel woman hurt my Sammy! He's everything to me because of the fact that he cares for others and himself. He's fighting to stop the eternal winter, for it won't come to pass, regardless."
Guido led the way to the further bowels of the abandoned munitions dump as he had a personal vendetta against Desdemona. Even though he and Jesse were incapacitated earlier, he wanted to save me as he led the way, but not without further problems. The sight of two suspicious people standing there unnerved him as he was not about to have them go further into the derelict, for they weren't here for just a typical "three-hour tour."
"Here's the Cetra who found the exotic meat in the Clampett," said one of them.
"This is a rescue mission, so I suggest that you get your asses off this island and let us do our job," said Guido. "A close friend of mine's been taken prisoner and that crazy bitch is off her rocker after she shot me and the old man."
"Oh, we're not here for sightseeing," said the other person. "We're here to have a few appetizers before leaving. As for you, my dear Cetra, you're not on the menu at present..."
"Sorry, but there aren't any cheeseburgers in paradise all over this shithole…" Guido sees the two suspicious people display their maws as they were on the verge of eating something. "No fucking way! You just had to show up and make a little drive-through run, but it's not working right now!"
"Leviathans," said Elise as she was armed with her bow and arrows. "They're hardwired to eat us, but they're also attracted to the presence of the Sight of Valithis. This isn't the first time they tried it when I looked at some old ancient texts on how Dick Roman and his thugs were pursuing a Draaza clan that had that power in the Elder Days. As for our gluttonous tourists…" She fires some arrows into the Leviathans' necks as they were feeling the pinch of acidic pain. "They're not gonna get their paws on what doesn't belong to them!"
The two Leviathans began to dissolve as they were suffering from what was crafted in the arrows that Elise had. With the two monsters dead, everyone was safe for the time being as they had to find my whereabouts, for it was a crucial matter that was about to be rectified once and for all…
I found myself handcuffed as I was dangling on a meathook in an empty room. What I didn't expect was that Desdemona was there as she was grinning with that terrifying grin on her face. The very look of her scared me as she as also armed with a chain that was meant to tether dogs or other animals. I was fearing the worst as I was at the mercy of the disgraced noble, for she was ready to deliver the pain that was about to occur. The intense cackling tore through me as if I heard nails being scraped on a chalkboard. The look I noticed was not the usual attire that a lady of nobility wore as I saw the tinge of insanity all over her face, for she was far too gone when it came to losing everything.
"You're finally awake, Sam," she said to me.
"It's mutual, but you're slipping," I said.
"So, I'm slipping, am I?!" Desdemona looks outside as she sees a hint of fresh snow falling. "Oh, this planetary system has been the epitome of warmth, but not anymore! Winter is coming and nothing can stop it, not even you!" I struggle as I felt a blowtorch burn at my bare feet. "Oh, this is gonna be fun because it really turns me on. It's been said that vengeance is a best dish served cold, but I prefer a little hot feet for pleasure!"
The pain from where I was burned made me scream as it filled the entire room the moment I saw Desdemona put away the blowtorch and was ready to do further damage. She was reveling in dealing with the pain as she her cackling filled the air while I was struggling to get free. What I didn't expect was that I felt the chain being struck on my back as I was feeling the sting of it. The humiliation reminded me of what I went through as I was at the mercy of Desdemona, for she was ready to bring on more pain towards me. The very misery of it reminded me of Severin's cruelty during the summit on Orianthis in both the courtyard in the Mikado's castle and on the Executioners Grounds. All I wanted was for it to be over as I was starting to break, for I was desperate for someone to rescue me.
FWA-KECK!
"This little piggy went to market," she said as she lashed me with the chain in her hands. "This little piggy stayed home…" Another lash strikes me on the back. "This little piggy had roast beef…" Two more lashes strike my back to the point of bleeding. "This little piggy had none…" Another few lashes strike at my legs as I was starting to shed tears. "And this little piggy went, 'wee, wee, wee,' all the way home! Oh, how I love doing this, Sam. It's so exhilarating that I feel wet with desire!"
I was trying my best not to lose control as I noticed Desdemona sitting down while she was feeling at what was between her legs. I closed my eyes the moment she was there fingering herself the moment she moaned with excitement. The very erotic moaning with a mixture of that cackling disgusted me as I heard her on the verge of climax the moment she gushed, for she had a huge rise out of me while being strung on a meathook. All I wanted to think about was Reiko as I felt her image slipping away before slowly changing into the form of Desdemona and her vile grin. I was losing… There was no hope for me as I was shedding tears in which I wanted it all to end, for there was nothing left for me.
"Sammy! Don't despair, for I am with you always..."
I heard Reiko's voice cut through the chaos as I saw an image of her standing in front of me. Her warmth was a huge comfort to me as I didn't want it to go away the moment I opened my eyes and saw Desdemona still armed with the chain in her hands, for she was ready to do more damage to me. Just as she was about to inflict more pain, she saw something on a monitor as she spotted Reiko and her group going into the building in which she felt a rage surging towards her, for she didn't want me to reunite with the woman I love.
"Mitani!" she said in a venomous voice. "That High Elf is from that repugnant Mitani Clan!" She sees a group of soulless dolls enter into the room as they were awaiting orders. "Guard this room and don't let anyone else come here!"
The soulless dolls obeyed as Desdemona left the room that led towards a hangar that had some old ships that weren't used in centuries. It was an ambush that would work in her favor as the hym possessing her was feeding on more of her sanity, for she wasn't about to let the prophecy take root just yet…
Reiko and the others found themselves surrounded by a group of soulless dolls as they were guarding the hangar in front of them. It was something that wasn't seen since the war ended as everyone had to be on their guard the moment the soulless dolls brought out their guns, for they were guarding everything that Desdemona had kept here. The firefight was fierce as Nibori fired a few shots from her plasma rifle the moment some of them fell to the ground. Even Elise wasn't afraid to take out some of the war's leftovers as she fired several arrows into the soldiers who were firing their guns at everything. What they didn't expect was that some of the soulless dolls came up from behind until they were turned into plush sock monkeys on the ground, for Jesse has his perks when it came to what he had over the centuries. With the threat averted, Guido took point as he grabbed one of the guns off the floor and began shooting at the remainder of the soulless dolls that were firing at everyone in the hangar. He was no stranger with dealing with the worst cases as he also felt his power searching for any possible aura on the ones who were there to do their bidding, for he saw them to be empty shells meant for killing innocents that got in the way.
"They really are artificial after all," he said as he scanned them with the Sight of Valithis.
"They were originally made by Darbus Toller," said Reiko. "When he died, his creations were forwarded to the Executive Division as soldiers that were in their ranks during the Second Galvanic Uprising."
"There's more around here," said Jesse. "Sooner or later, they will surround the island once your friends get here."
"And here comes the cavalry," said Nibori as she looked into her talisman. "Yokose's not messing around in which she's very good at navigating the water."
"I hope that everyone's alright at the village," said Reiko.
"They are because of the fact that the four rulers gave us the ammunition that is needed in the form of words. The poem that I found on a mural in the university's ruins gave you the strength to unite with Sam and put Desdemona in her place once and for all." Reiko is stunned to hear this as she was ready to find me. "Get going… Sam needs you in this darkest hour right now."
"We got this," said Elise as she was armed with her bow and arrows.
And so, Reiko soldiered on as Guido followed her to where she needed to get to. She wasn't messing around as she was eager to find me in which she was brave to do so. It was an unusual feat as she was also cautious when it came to dealing with Desdemona, for she sensed her insanity that had no bounds or filter on the horizon…
Yokose was in her seaship as it was on its way towards the island where the abandoned munitions dump would be. She was no slouch when it came to navigating the ocean as she was a naturally born leader from both Mitani and Stauber Clans respectively. She wasn't backing down as she had backing from the four rulers of Alecrast, Drakonus, Westeros, and Valinor for support. When her seaship reached the island, she saw a submarine emerging as a group of Zenith Vectors touched down the moment they were heading towards us. She had a gut feeling that Jacob Doran's small group would try to push through as she knew about what the Zenith Vectors were, for they were nothing but terrorists who had nothing to lose.
"Jacob's forces have reached the island," she said as she was looking through a telescope. "And I know what their suits are because of the fact that they've been impervious to projectile and melee attacks…"
"Ma'am," said a bosun as he was on duty. "There's been a shakeup on the island."
"What are you talking about?"
"There's a group of people here that came on a lifeboat, but they're in the crossfire all because they're too dumb to realize it."
"That's no ordinary group of people…" Yokose spots one of them trying to eat one of the Zenith Vectors as he was pinned down in the sand. "We've got Leviathans! I repeat! We've got Leviathans!"
Yokose went towards her cabin as she got out a sword that was more like a British infantry blade, but forged differently. It was a sword that was given to her on her wedding day once as it was forged with various components: steel, silver, salt, wrought iron, aetherial metal, diamond dust, and borax. It was a blade that killed Leviathans as it was also a weapon that they feared in which she would go and use it once more, for she was no stranger into dealing with them in the past.
"I never thought I would use you again, but our ravenous enemies came at the buffet table at the wrong time…" she said as she left her cabin.
Yokose was back on deck as she noticed some of the Leviathans making their way towards the munitions dump the moment they weren't just after table scraps, but something else. Still, she had to make her move cautiously as she was no stranger with what a Leviathan does due to the fact that they were once God's creatures until Pendragon issued an ultimatum to him just to send them to Purgatory until they were let out one day. She wasn't taking any chances yet as she also had to make sure that Reiko and the others were safe, for they didn't know what else was coming.
"This is bad," she said as she was holding onto her sword. "Normally, Leviathans would go and eat everything in front of them, but they're after something else in mind."
"They're after the Sight of Valithis," said Castiel as he appeared out of nowhere. "This isn't the first time that has happened in which they tried to find and destroy House Vizinar during the Elder Days."
"Says the guy who unexpectedly housed the gluttonous bastards before you evaporated afterwards."
"We have a very complicated problem at hand and I can't hold off the impending cold forever," said Jack as he appeared out of nowhere. "The Zenith Vectors, the Leviathans, and what's left of the soulless dolls that were used by the Executive Division are hell-bent on stopping the prophecy. We must protect Sam and Lady Reiko at all costs…"
"That's not all that we must protect," said Castiel. "Guido Zampano is also a target due to the abilities that he has. The Sight of Valithis is a powerful weapon that can render and destroy anything in their tracks in which anyone will stop at nothing to covet and abuse what he has."
"Hold onto your jockstraps, boys; we're going in," said Yokose.
And so, the seaship landed on the island as everyone was ready for battle with weapons infused with diamond. It was a grueling effort that would decide the battle as Yokose unsheathed her sword and struck at one of the Leviathans the moment it dissolved onto the sand. The influx of Zenith Vectors and soulless dolls were a mess to deal with as everyone had to brave their way to where we were, for things were getting ugly really fast. When they spotted some Leviathans already feasting on some of the soulless dolls, Castiel stood firm as he used his angelic aura mixed with the imprint of raw power to subdue them the moment Yokose chopped off the head of one of them. With the Leviathans gone other than the head that was in the sand, the influx of soulless dolls and Zenith Vectors were attacking the small group until they noticed an Order of Letters ship coming into Valinorian airspace. It was a combined effort of all four rulers that were in there as they were firing at the enemies that were all over the island, for they had to protect their homeworlds from the threat of eternal winter. When Yokose, Castiel, and Jack saw the head on the sand, it was moving, but distraught as it didn't have a body to latch onto, for it was cornered for interrogation.
"You defective chew toys," it said as it was writhing in agony. "You ruined everything!"
"I know what you overgrown piranhas are after and it's more than just wanting some extra choice morsels while ordering takeout," said Yokose as she pointed her sword at the Leviathan's head. "I know all about how your buddies have been wanting the Sight of Valithis just to abuse once you find what you want!"
"The Sight of Valithis is more than just a commodity, but a way and mean to see everything. In the Elder Days, we banked on everything when it came to obtaining the Sight of Valithis just to locate and eat whatever we want. We never forgot about how Bobby Singer and that Shinigami in biker gear helped Solvai and Quenna escape with their brood once they took off in their spaceship, but that failure lead to the demise of our leader, Dick Roman!"
"So you're after Guido Zampano," said Jack as he stood firm. "Whatever your boss on Harkonnen is planning, she won't get to him. As for the other angels and demons who desire to covet the Sight of Valithis, I advise you to do one thing: stay away from Guido Zampano."
"You think an empty threat from the King of the Grey Havens can stop us? Oh, no… You're in way over your—"
"This discussion is over!" yelled Yokose as she stabbed her sword into the Leviathan's head.
It wasn't long until the sight of fresh snow began to fall upon the island in which everyone was fearing the worst of the eternal winter that was once kept at bay. The sight of the once clear skies with a few clouds turned grey with an atmosphere similar to the northern wind blowing all over the Skalvarg Archipelago as the worst fears of having a prophecy hampered came true in a nutshell. Even Jack was concerned as he was starting to weaken after trying to hold off the eternal winter that was looming in the wind in which he was worrying for the worst, for he had to do something drastic in order to avert the further threat in mind.
"Sam…, Lady Reiko…," he said as he pleaded. "I beg of you… You must overcome your insecurities, your fears, your everything… You must unleash the dragon from within before we get torn asunder…"
The lingering threat of eternal winter was getting closer as Jack was fearing the worst outcome imaginable. With the prophecy about to become hampered again, a glimmer of hope emerged as a light emanated from the building the moment it was finally taking hold, for the presence of silver dragons will banish the eternal winter from taking hold…
I was still struggling to get free from my shackles as I was still reeling from the pain that Desdemona inflicted on me. What was even worse was that there were four of the soulless dolls and two little girls in drab dresses guarding my moves as they had their guns pointed at me. The physical pain and psychological torment was the tipping point for me as I never forgot her cackling or how she moaned when she pleasured herself earlier. All I wanted was to return home to Reiko and be with my family as I was feeling my spirit being drained one second at a time. I was desperate to fight as I wanted to hear Reiko's kind voice again in which it was growing quieter. Just as all hope was lost, I saw the door burst in as I saw Reiko and Guido standing in the doorway the moment they were ready to rescue me, for I was glad that they were here.
"What the fuck is this?" asked Guido as he saw the two little girls standing in front of the four soulless dolls. "This is insane to bring in kids as soldiers."
"Don't let their innocence fool you," said Reiko cautiously. "Those little girls are suicide bombers that the Executive Division made. Once their cries are heard, they will blow all of us up if we step further."
Guido felt the Sight of Valithis rising as he was ready to command the soulless dolls and the two suicide bombers in their midst. He was ready to release me as he wasn't about to go down so quietly the moment he saw me chained and mangled on a meathook, for he didn't want me to fade away so easily.
"Remove him from the meathook," he said in a powerful commanding voice as the soulless dolls were overwhelmed by his demand while doing so. "Now…, release him from his shackles…"
I saw the soulless dolls removing the shackles from my hands as I later noticed them turned into plush sock monkeys. To my surprise, I saw Jesse burst into the room as he was fearing for my safety the moment I was up on my feet. When I saw Reiko, I noticed her running towards me as she hugged me warmly, for she was glad that I was safe.
"I heard your voice cutting into the darkness," I said as I was shedding tears of joy.
"At least we came to your rescue," said Guido.
"You're hurt," said Reiko as she saw me with the lashes on my back. "Desdemona tried to break you, didn't she?"
"She'll be the next to go, but someone else will do the deed," I said.
"Don't try to talk, Sammy…" Reiko heals my wounds completely as I was fully healed. "The threat of eternal winter is slowly taking hold, but we must also heed the prayer that Jack has issued."
"We mustn't delay," said Jesse as he saw the fresh snow still falling from outside. "The prophecy has stalled for too long, but there is still hope in the form of dragons…"
Reiko and I began to change form as our draconification was crushing the wall of the building when we became the two silver dragons of prophecy. When Guido and Jesse saw us flying outside, we flew over the derelict building as the glimmer of light became a harbinger of restoration. The fresh snow was replaced by warmth as the threat of eternal winter was no more the moment that the cold spots have finally ended. Both Guido and Jesse were astonished to see the two silver dragons flying all over the island as the prophecy was finally fulfilled after so many years of stalling and separation, for it was well worth it at last…
Elise and Nibori were back at the hangar as they saw the mess of plush sock monkeys on the floor after Jesse did his best by turning the soulless dolls into something harmless. Even though the threat was gone, they had one obstacle left the moment they saw Desdemona burst into the hangar with a deranged look on her face. Nibori saw the hym in the light as it was slowing consuming its host the moment she tossed a hex bag in front of them. The hex bag itself turned into a light trap as it killed the hym instantly the moment Desdemona spotted Nibori and Elise hiding near one of the ships, for she was ready to do her worse when it came to dealing with those around her, friend or foe.
"Look who came here!" she cried as she cackled. "An Elf from the Mahoney Clan and a Mirkosian with witching magic! It's a shame that you came here too late because the eternal winter has already begun and not stopping."
"No…, the silver dragons are already out and there's no way that you can stuff them back in the bag," said Nibori as she was holding her plasma rifle. "Your promise of eternal winter has failed, Desdemona, for you can't outwit the presence of a pair of silver dragons."
"You're just like the rest! You cling to an outdated prophecy that has been hampered for centuries in which it was kept that way by those who fear the ascension of a Winchester heir and a daughter from the Mitani Clan! Eternal winter has won and there's no stopping it!"
"If the eternal winter has won, then how come the warmth is coming back?" said Elise. "It's been said that absence makes the heart grow fonder, but Sam and Reiko are the only ones who have the guts to fulfill what my ancestors foretold! They've brought hope and courage to everywhere they go, but they also have one thing to their advantage and that is none other than empathy!"
"Lies! It's all alternative facts and fake news!"
"No…, you're wrong…," said Nibori. "No matter how many times we all try to dismantle things, we could never dismantle a prophecy. When that happens, the worst outcome occurs in which it'll be deemed irreversible in the future."
The sound of roaring in the skies rattled everyone as Desdemona was cornered by a prophecy that was stalled for a long time. When Nibori and Elise noticed what was outside, they saw some of the Zenith Vectors coming the moment they were outrunned by the silver dragons descending upon them. They also noticed that a familiar face entered into the hangar as it had a gun pointed at Desdemona in which it was someone who never showed up before until now, for this was a game changer that became a way and mean to an end.
"No way," said Elise as she saw the familiar face to remove her hood from her cloak. "It's Phyllis Schacter! What the hell is she doing here?"
Desdemona was shocked to see Phyllis standing there as she was trained to shoot her. Elise was ready to stop her until Nibori stopped her the moment they had to step back, for this was a personal matter that had to be dealt with.
"Back away, this instant!" she cried. "You have no authority here whatsoever, you putrid Elf!"
"No…, this is the end for you, Desdemona Arkhelios," said Phyllis as she had her gun cocked and loaded. "For years, you gave the other Alecrian chieftains free rein over the planet, but at a price just to fund your lifestyle. You also had the way and mean to fund the Black Dragon Guild in which I just cut off their cash flow once I gave them a letter of your brother's demise. It was you who orchestrated that demon attack against my son-in-law in which he refused to fund your lavish lifestyle all because he cared more about family than your whims! It was you who continued to give the Black Dragon Guild fresh ammunition just to find and kill Sam all because he's been a threat to you and the other Stewards who languished in power while hiding from the influx of hellhounds that circle around you like a pack of hungry hyenas! I know for a fact that you've been dabbling in black magic that even Rowena blacklisted the moment it was sealed away by the Vesper Guild, but you had the gall to even have a hym possess you while feeding on your wrath and paranoia like a drug addict getting his daily fix through speed dial!"
"I will not listen to this mindless drivel! Once I return to Alecrast, I will be the Empress who will have everyone bow down to me!"
"No…, you're done and I will cut this poisonous rot from this world so that no other innocent victim will suffer from your wrath again! For far too long, you and your brother displayed more than just your abuse of power. For far too long, you let your brother rape Lyra after she was grieving for her late husband! For far too long, you let your brother get away with avoiding consequences while the inbred son you discarded tried to ransack Skald Island with his cronies in the Zenith Vectors! For far too long, you let your inbred son ransack the Mitani Clan's homestead while he raped Kizuri in the process in which he's been cut from the same cloth by getting what he wants without facing the consequences! No…, this comes to an end for you and I won't let you ruin any more innocent lives in the process!"
At that moment, Phyllis fired several gunshots into Desdemona as she was reeling from the pain that was inflicted upon her. With one more fired into her brain, the disgraced Steward was no more as she emerged as a spirit the moment she saw a hellhound standing in front of her. In an instant, she was dragged down to Hell as her fate was finally sealed the moment that the worst was over. By the time Yokose and her group burst into the hangar, they spotted Phyllis holding her gun as she was on her knees, for she finally delivered a swift justice that was kept away for too long.
"What the hell did you do, Phyllis?!" she cried as she saw her near Desdemona's body.
"I put an end to a threat and that was all," she said as she was on her feet.
It wasn't long until Guido and Jesse burst into the hangar as they noticed what happened to Desdemona. Even though she was dead, she had it coming as there were no tears shed. It was a bittersweet victory, but there was also the threat of the Zenith Vectors still at large the moment Elise and Nibori saw them fleeing in which the two silver dragons were flying in the sky. It was a huge victory on a galvanic scale as the threat of eternal winter was gone for good this time, for it was what the prophecy decreed in the first place. Even Jack was grateful that the eternal winter was gone as it was a way and mean to bring the Ashizoka System to a golden age that was waiting for too long, for the time has come for the greatest ascension ever told.
"Sam…, Lady Reiko…," he said as he was shedding tears of joy. "Thank you…"
Dean was in the throne room of the Alecrian palace as he was hearing about the news of the eternal winter being quashed for good. It had been a week since the silver dragons had averted the eternal winter as it became the talk of the town in various media outlets stemming from newspapers to talk shows the moment the new Alecrian Emperor looked up at the sky and saw the two silver dragons flying over the palace. Even though everything went back to normal with everyone reunited from disaster, there was the lingering threat of the Zenith Vectors as they irked Dean to the core. With his temper put on hold, he spotted the two silver dragons as they flew above the palace in which they were here to pay a visit. Therefore, hee was glad that the worst was over as he rushed into the courtyard to see them change back into me and Reiko the moment we were dressed in elegant clothing. It was a sight for him to see us as he was shedding tears of joy when he rushed towards me and hugged me warmly, for he was also thankful that the worst was over for now.
"I thought that you wouldn't visit," he said to me.
"It's complicated, but at least there's no eternal winter," I said.
"After seeing those silver dragons flying over that munitions dump on Valinor, we all saw it to be a sign of good things to come after we celebrated the victory."
"It's also a fleeting justice that Phyllis killed Desdemona, but her soul was already targeted to be going to the bowels of Hell," said Reiko. "No…, she did so much hurt to not only Sammy, but to those that she and Iago had targeted. She was a threat that scared Sammy to the core in which she was far much worse than her brother. She was also a danger that even caused widespread terror to those who did nothing wrong in the process."
"So here's to the last rotten line of House Arkhelios, may they rest in piss. Still, it's been a week since the Rankin/Bass Christmas special got cancelled, but we're not out of the woods yet in which we're finally rid of King Karen and his sister whose father started a chain reaction to oust our family from power in the first place."
"And we all know that Phyllis Schacter killed Desdemona according to Nibori and Elise," I said as I was relieved that my abuser met her demise in the end. "According to the testimony, one of the Zenith Vectors happens to be their inbred son whose limbs I blew off after the Skald Island incident. Therefore, his master and those in his ranks are still at large, but we have to be cautious in which their sick agenda won't last long. Even though House Arkhelios is no more, Jacob Doran and his cronies will stop at nothing to achieve their rotten goals in mind."
"And I'll be more than glad to put the clampdown on those sons-of-bitches. They've got blood on their hands, Sam. They murdered Magda, nearly killed Rory, ransacked the base on Shiganshina, killed Albus, caused multiple terrorist attacks, nearly killed a bunch of little girls, and ransacked Skald Island to feed their sick agenda and ego. They're on my shit list 'cause there won't be a hiding place to shield them with once they let their guard down."
"Let's not jump the gun, okay? Furthermore, our enemies are still at large, but we should be cautious when it comes to dealing with those terrorists. Sooner or later, Jacob Doran and his cronies will overstep their efforts in which fate has different plans for them. Justice will get to them eventually, whether we like it or not."
I dissuaded Dean at the last minute as I didn't want him to lose his temper. Still, I had to comfort him at his lowest as he had so much on his plate like the other Emperors ruling over Drakonus, Westeros, and Valinor in which we all had to pull our weight when it came to dealing with possible threats. Little did we all know was that Castiel and Jack were watching in the distance as they were aware of the continued threats that our enemies were making on the sly. It was a group effort that we had to deal with as we weren't alone, for the threat of the Zenith Vectors was still looming in the wind. This was a battle that we had to deal with, for we had to do it together in this day and age…
The End…, or is it?
