She smiled looking at him, a final cry escaped her lips as she came with him, holding onto him as they kissed. In the back of her mind she thought of the battle that was about to happen, but she deep down, looking into his eyes vowed in her head she would not die. And she knew that this was a fight worth fighting.

"I love you Arthur" She smiled even more.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

"I love you too" Arthur replied as he held her for a bit. He savored the warmth that she gave as they laid in bed. He soft touch sending shivers down his spine. Arthur knew he would have to prepare even though he felt powerless to do anything other than allow Scarlet to do what she must. "We should get thing prepared" he said as he stood up to get dressed.

 

[Mayu]

She just nodded and got dressed, not much was said as she walked over to a sword on its resting place. She pulled her hair up away and out of her face, she took her fathers sword, she shook her head unsure of what to think about anything any more. She stood before Arthur in an outfit like one of his knights, her fathers sword resting on her hip.

"My father always said he would be there fighting by my side, as I fight by yours Arthur. When the prince falls, our kingdom will know peace and I'm not going any place"

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

He stood the with Scarlet as she took her father's sword. An ill silence over them as everything was getting prepare. Their child was guard thanks to a spell preformed by Scarlet and Arthur best men. Arthur was going blind into all of this, all he could do was wait for Scarlet to see what would happen next. "What now?" he asked.

 

[Mayu]

She sighed "Get the army together and finish this, go to him before he comes to us." Looking over at there son she walked over and craddled him lovingly in her arms. "Are you ready to end this Arthur?" Scarlet asked looking over at him.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

He took one last look at their son before he had his general rally the troop to depart for the castle. He rode his horse with Scarlet next to him, his heart felt unsure, scared. Yet he did not question Scarlet as his men marched. The wind became stronger, it was a calm before the storm. Arthur said nothing to his love as the made their way, his eyes kept on the road ahead.

His men stopped as they had reached the castle walls. His general ordering the archers to take aim as he then looked at Arthur to make the final call. With a soft nod Arthur ordered the attack. The battle had just begun.

 

[Mayu]

It was a battle that was bloody, she had found and hurt the witch but she retreated to the prince. In the distance she saw Arthur fall, the prince over him ready to plunge his sword into her husband. Something in her snapped and she rode her white horse, begging the horse to move faster. Right when the sword was to be plunged into Arthur, another sword stopped it. Her body was glowing a blue color, raising her hand the prince rose into the air. She threw him miles away, and this time he was dead. But the witch, stood before her with guards but they were not human. She didn't know what to do, she looked around her. So many dead people.

"The pain of so many others..." she said more to herself but Arthur could hear her. They started to march to finish them off.

"I will not let you pass, I will not let you have our kingdom" She thrusted her sword into the ground and the ground began to shake. Her anger could be seen, an anger that was so powerful you could almost feel it, she raised her hands up shielding the rest of the kingdom and them. She gathered up all of her energy and soon the energy around the kingdom went back onto the witch and her men. The pendent that showed she was a witch shattered and blew up the enemy. She collapsed to her knees, she smiled looking at Arthur.

"I sacrificed my gift to save our people, our family"

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Arthur had been careless. He had taken the prince for granted and was wounded by his sword, he fell to the ground. Had it not been for Scarlet he would have been dead. The power he saw come from her was amazing, he had never seen her so powerful as she took everyone who stood in her way like they were nothing. He words so confident as she spoke, he sword causing the ground to quake purging the land of the evil that had plagued it.. As he saw Scarlet fall to her knees, he ran to her. He was unsure of her words "You mean you've lost your powers?" he asked.

 

[Mayu]

She looked up at him and smiled, but noticed his wound she placed her hand over it and healed him. "Well, lets just say I'm not as powerful any more. But it's worth it, I'm not going to let anything happen to our world, I'm stubborn you know that" She chuckled.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

And with that, Arthur pulled Scarlet toward him as they shared a loving embrace, the now abandoned castle there, ready to have it's fate decided as the two stood before it. Arthur nuzzled his nose to her's as he held her, never wanting to let go. "We should see what in the prince's castle" he suggested.

 

[Mayu]

Scarlet nodded and stood up with Arthur's help, she looked up at the castle from where they stood. Her eyes scanned the area, looking for any kind of trap. "I'm almost afraid to find out what he has in his castle" She said softly.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Arthur and Scarlet along with a few soldiers went inside the castle. Much to his surprise, it was empty. The dark depths of the castle walls sent shivers down his spine. It was cold as if warmth had not come within for years. Had the prince been living here alone? Had he been under that witch's control all this time? If so, where was his father? Arthur would soon get his answer as they ventured upstairs to the bed chamber. There the king stood, his skeletal remains among the cobwebs surrounding the bed. He had been dead for a long time.

It had come together. As the prince's father died, he had become king, but he so distraught over his dead father, that he tried to do everything to bring him back. He sacrificed his own kingdom to capture Scarlet and when he failed he seeked other help from dark forces. Arthur couldn't help but feel saddened over the prince own demise, all this to bring back his father. "We should go" he said.

 

[Mayu]

She walked over to the king, what was left any way, looking down her fists clenched "Arthur, I have to set this right, this is my fault. He wanted my help, I understand why. That bitch knew blood magic" She looked at Arthur knowing that he would have no idea what it was, she sighed some.

"She was what we witches call a blood mage, it is forbidden magic because those who use blood magic, have most likely sold themselves to a demon. The witch too was possessed" Looking back at the king. Looking at the knights.

"Take his body, place him beside his son" The knights nodded and she placed her hand on the skull and a light surrounded the skeleton, so they could move it like they would a newly killed person.

Scarlet smiled and took his hand "Come" She said happily.

Things had to be made right, she made a circle around the three bodies of red sand, taking a small dagger from her boot she cut her hand and made a symbol on the prince and kings forehead. The wound on Scarlets hand healed instantly, she noticed people looking at her, men, women and children. Wondering what there queen was doing.

The dagger still had Scarlets blood on the blade as she knelt down to the witch placing the blood to her forehead the ground started to shake. Before everyones eyes skin, went from the witch onto the bones forming the body of the king. She looked up at everyone, and slowly stood the witch nothing but dust and looked at the knights as well and she spoke.

"Inside all of us is hope, fear, love. But for some there is an all consuming darkness. An evil that cannot be contained, a persons compulsion to kill isn't written all over there face, its in there mind." She looked down at the prince. Slowly she started to walk around the circle and she actually sang a song that has been around longer then the kingdom.

Arthur said nothing as he watched over Scarlet. He looked on as the skin from the witch was taken from her to the once deceased king. It was then that he sighed Scarlet power while weakened was still very powerful indeed. She had resurrected the king and seemed to be doing the same with the prince. There was nothing for hims to say, all he could do was wait for her to finish.

 

[Mayu]

She fell to her knees, but both the king and the prince stood up and she smiled..

"This will be my last act as a witch, for I have nothing left" She forced herself on her feet.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Arthur helped Scarlet up as he held her, giving her a small kiss on the forehead. "There's not much we can do now, let's go home". He helped her back onto her horse as they left, Arthur taking one look back before the king and prince became all but a dot.

 

[Mayu]

She smiled as they headed home, looking over at Arthur "I can still heal but I can't do anything else. Then again thats not true, I'm a queen a wife and a mother and I'm happy with that"

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

"You can do so much" replied Arthur "even without magic". Finally the had reached home, the exhaustion finally taking over Arthur as he removed his armor, his gaze on Mia as he smiled at her. "We should get cleaned up".

 

[Mayu]

She nodded and removed her fathers sword from her hip and stripped off some of her clothing.

"I know I can do a lot, I wonder if Merlin knew this would happen"

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

"I wouldn't be surprised" replied Arthur, giving Scarlet a loving kiss on the lips as they made their way down the hall as it seemed to go on forever. It was then they stepped into the nursery, their child sleeping peacefully, no idea of the events that took place. "I love you Scarlet".

 

[Mayu]

She smiled walking hand in hand with him, when they checked on there son she looked down. He was so pure and innocent, she looked into Arthur's eyes hearing what he said. "I love you to Arthur, very much"

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

The long a vigorous day was catching up with Arthur, his eyes heavy and his stance weak. Yet even so he held onto Scarlet as they looked over their child. With another kiss he spoke "I'm getting very tired, I think I'll retire to the bedroom" he said went for the door, looking on at Scarlet.

 

[Mayu]

She bent down to kiss there son as he slept, and she walked over to Arthur wrapping her arm around his. "I'm tired to, we both have had a nasty day a nasty and very long day" She said softly.

 

[Deleted member 1126402]

Arthur smiled as the two made their way to the bed. The sleep in his eyes were starting to take him as the made it to their chamber, Arthur began to change out of his clothes and made his way to the bed, laying there in wait for his wife to join him.

 

[Mayu]

She had on a tan colored slip and walked over to the bed and crawled in, cuddling right up to Arthur, she yawned some and looked up at him. "I am going to like this peace" She said happily. "Well as much peace as we can with our son" She laughed softly.
