-Karen-

I dried my face with side edge of my cloak and stood there for several minutes trying to clear my mind. I managed to calm down after a few minutes as I thought about my after-dinner plans with Conor. I hope this can help me stay relaxed… Star gazing and cuddles among other fun things. Besides, I don't want to waste the time I have with him.

I walked back into the wine cupboard closing the portal behind me. I can do this. It’s going to be fine. Conor said it was going to work out. He even promised it would. I just need to take a deep breath and push those thoughts away for a bit. I sighed deeply and left the small room putting on a happy face to hide my deepening depression. I hate having to lie but I don’t want them to see me upset. It will just ruin the mood. Conor, Bart and Joanne were chatting excitedly among themselves. “Ready to go to the Cliffs?” I asked jubilantly as I walked over to them. I'm just gonna have to fake it. Fake the happiness just long enough to get throug

    -Karen-I quickly stepped towards the attack that was flying towards us. It’s her! Why now though?! In that short amount of time, the Fire Nova was becoming brighter and larger. “Rock wall!” I snapped, raising my hands above my head. I could feel the heat of the Fire Nova from this side as it crashed against the thick rock. “I better not touch the wall! Just being close to it makes me think I will get burns from the immense heat.” The further it travels the hotter and brighter it gets! In correlation, more damage is done when it’s shot from far away.“Very good on your long-term defense! How about your short term?! Shadow Spike!” Monica shouted from behind me. I wasn’t quick enough to react as the black spike shot through me. I yelled from the pain. The wall of rock disappeared as I staggered back a step away from her. “Panacea.” I hissed as the pain disappeared. This is really bad. One wrong move could send us all to the bottom of the cliff. If that were to happen, I could only use

    -Karen-“Shadow Chains!” Monica shouted, pointing at me. I felt the magic tendrils blast the through the barrier and destroy it as they wrapped tightly around me. How! My barrier was destroyed, and I can’t move at all! “To your knees wretched child!” She shouted as I was slammed to the ground. That hurts like hell! I tried to break away from the chains, but I was stuck tightly. I can’t see them at all but I sure can feel them. “You should stop fighting them, Karen. Nothing you can do magically or physically will break those chains I have placed on you.” She whispered something and motioned her finger in a line. I tried to say something to her, but I was no longer able to open my mouth. What the hell?! It was as if someone glued my lips shut. “Olivia taught me that silencing spell when I was just a girl. I used it on anyone I found to be annoying including my own parents. You can make noises all you want but you won't talk again until I take it off of you.”Monica turned her attention

    -Karen-“I didn’t feel a damn thing, you fucking bitch.” He hissed hatefully “Listen you moron, I’m a war hero on Zargo, so your petty attempts to hurt me- They don’t bother me in the slightest. You could tie Kay up and blindfold her. Even with those disadvantages, she could do a better job hurting me than you can.” He laughed coldly. “Stop wasting my time and actually try to hurt me or leave me the hell alone. I bet you’ll fail at that like you’ve failed at being a good mother!”“Oh really?” Monica replied. “I don’t have to attack you to get your blood going.” She kissed him and he recoiled violently from her. Leave my man alone! She chuckled amused. “That was comical! How about we kick it up a level?” I didn’t think it was possible, but he glared even angrier at her. His scary looks didn’t faze her one bit. “You put up a strong defense, Your Highness… I guess I’ll have to press you harder then.” She snapped her fingers and a longer dagger appeared in her hand. No! Just go away! “Kar

    -Conor-“What the hell happened, Conor? You two were out all night. We’ve been waiting here since she got us back to the palace, wondering what happened to you both.” Bart asked concerned. My poor love. I know you’re exhausted. I can see it on your face.“After Karen got you both to safety, Monica said she was there to teach Kay a lesson.” Conor explained as he held her even tighter in his embrace. “Monica chained Kay up with something called 'Shadow' magic and then she did the same to me. She cut my jacket and shirt off from behind me and then used a dagger to carve a bunch of marks into my back. I guess she was trying to see if it was going to bug me.” He paused for a moment and then continued. Like I would let her have the satisfaction of seeing any pain! I’ll die before I let that whore see any pain on my face!“When I acted like I didn’t feel anything she stabbed me on the back and side. Of course, I won't let the enemy see that the wounds they’re inflicting hurt me. So, she made

    -Karen-I was awakened with a flood of sweet kisses raining down on me. Mm… Those sweet kisses that I love so much. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Conor looking down on me with a gentle smile. “Hey there beautiful.” I felt my lips curl up in a smile as I snuggled closer to him. Ah… He’s so warm! “Wake up, my love.”“No… I’m really tired still. I’m worn out from that scuffle.” I muttered starting to fall back asleep next to his warmth. “Wake me up in three days.”“I know baby, but we have to be somewhere, and you have to get up now. You can sleep more once this meeting is over. I promise Kay.” He shook my shoulder trying to rouse me.In response I rolled over and faced the center of the bed and pulled the blanket over my head. “Come back next week.”“C’mon brat. Wake up!” Conor ordered pulling the warm blanket away from me. I grumbled and gave him a dirty look while he chuckled. I kinda wanna punch you for that. Prince or otherwise. “Up you sexy vixen of mine.” He murmured nuzzling my

    -Karen-Conor led me forward as we came to stand several feet away from the desk. We both clasped our hands in front of us. I could see Joanne out the corner of my eye standing next to me standing with her hands clasped in front of her. The doors shut and all four of us bowed to the king murmuring, “Majesty.” We stood back up in unison and waited anxiously for him to speak. Remember to breathe, Karen. Just keep breathing.The king stood up snickering under his breath. That makes me so nervous. Silently, I watched him walk around the room out of the corner of my eye. “Elsie, move next to Michael.” She got up immediately and moved next to him, watching us quietly. I could see she was focused intently on Conor. “Conor go sit in Elsie’s previous chair. Remain silent throughout this meeting. I don’t want to hear a damn thing from your mouth. Not one word.” Zachary hissed as he fixed himself a drink from a small cart off to the right of the room. Conor obeyed quietly and sat down next to h

    -Karen-My knees throbbed with pain as I watched her take a few steps towards me. She had a twisted smile on her face as our gazes locked. “Acrid Shadow Thorns!” I was stabbed by a thorny spike that shot off a couple thorny branches through me in different directions. I yelled from the pain but that was only the beginning as I found out. She snapped her fingers and I felt searing pain race through me as I screamed louder from the pain. I writhed from the pain, falling against the ground while the chains tightened up against me. I cried out from the agony I felt all over. I could feel her eyes on me as I lay there panting trying to catch my breath. It hurts so badly! It was worse than demon’s poison! I could hear the small group murmuring among themselves. I could feel Conor’s intense gaze on me as the pain slowly dissipated. “Supreme Heal.” Monica muttered with a hint of reluctance in her voice. The pain left me completely, but I felt slightly heavy from the attack. “I’m not done wit

    -Karen-“Silence both of you!” Zachary yelled at them. “Show me the spells. Now.”“I’m not allowed to use those spells without permission.” I refuted firmly. I closed my eyes tightly trying my hardest to resist against the growing pressure. Please just let me leave alone.“It didn’t stop you from using it at your demonstration, though, did it?” He hissed angrily. I shook my head in defiance. “I was defending my life! It was justifiable in that moment! This is not!” I snapped back. He slapped me as hard as he could. Damn that hurt!“Mind you tone when addressing me, woman! Unlike my son, I don’t care if you suffer.” Zachary screamed, raising his hand to me again. “I don’t give a damn what you think is justifiable. I’m commanding you to do something and you will do it expeditiously and without negation!” I shook my head in defiance and he struck me harder in the face. I could hear Bart and Joanne trying to hold Conor back as he tried to come to my aide. I could hear Michael laughing at

    -Conor-“I have a terrible feeling about this Nathan. We need to go to her. As soon as possible.” Conor said pacing back and forth in front of all the Mages. “After she lost consciousness, Eldon came and took her away. All he said was that she was being summoned by a tree. That's when a portal was made for me to come back here.”Nathan's eyes got wide and he lost the coloring in his face. “The Tree summoned her?” A serious yet terrified look remained on his face. Alexander started screaming making everyone jump. A portal opened and everyone stood up while Joanne worked to calm him down. “Karen?” Conor asked feeling hopeful. Eldon walked through carrying her, but he was stoic. “She’s going to be okay, right?”Eldon gently placed her into his arms. He didn’t answer right away. “Not exactly.” The portal shut as all the Mages gathered around. “As you know, she won the war against your father with your help. However, she lost the fight.” He said quietly. “Senescence, has deemed that she i

    “Soul Release.” I whispered quietly. I watched as the souls compressed into different color orbs and floated away on the breeze. Bombs started falling around me while breathing became harder. “Healing Serenity.” I’ve used a flurry of spells and I still have a small chunk of magic left. I can easily get two or three more Master spells… I think. I decided to change positions so I could get a better aim at the last large ship flying around. I still have those small ships too… I took a deep breath and sent a Blazing Hypernova up to the middle area of the small ships. They all exploded in a bright flash and the wreckage fell to the destroyed town. I looked around for the large ship, but a bullet ricocheted very close to where I stood. Suddenly, more soldiers appeared charging at me.“Frostfire Surge!” I shouted angrily. All the soldiers shouted in pain and collapsed dead around us in heaps. I pointed up at the sky as the ship tried to leave again. “Blazing Hypernova!” Due to the high level

    -Karen-A blow to the back of the head put me on the ground faster than I ever thought possible. Blow after blow was delivered as I squirmed to get away, but Zachary pinned me under him and continued to land a barrage of punches. He yelled and screamed about what I had done to his family. I grabbed his ankle and let him have a taste of ‘Lightning Surge’. It bought me enough precious time to weakly get to my knees.“Recovery Salvo.” I shakily got to my feet and leaned against the wall, but he was no where to be seen. I looked around nervously, but nothing moved. I heard the bullets before I felt them. Hot metal burrowed its way into my right thigh followed by my abdomen, left arm and chest. I collapsed in heap trying to fight the massive amounts of pain I felt. “Healing Serenity!” I whispered under my breath. Damn, another healing spell… I whispered for a portal and fled to the shadows of a building across town. There were still so many ships in the air, and I was starting to feel the

    -Karen-“We don’t have a choice anymore!” I snapped back frustratedly. “This is it, Conor- We fight or we die- I’m not about to let him claim victory. There is going to have to be a risk in order to win this fight. I plan on coming back, you know.”“But what if you don’t, Kay? What if Eldon doesn’t revive you?” Conor asked firmly. He cupped my face and stared me in the eyes. “What if you’re gone forever?” What if… Such a big 'what if' and its running through my mind too.I didn’t answer him right away. “I’m going to die someday. I’d rather die fighting for my family and the people I care about than to run and live in fear wondering if today will be the day. As long as I don’t exhaust my magic and turn into a demon, I should be fine.” I’ve used a small bit of my magic, but I still have more than plenty. As long as I can take them out in fifteen to twenty Master level attacks, it should be okay. Permitting this doesn’t drag out for very long.I could see he was very much not accepting o

    -Karen-“Your sudden jerking movements re-opened a wound I repaired.” Bart explained as I lay still looking up at the ceiling of the empty crypt bed. “I stitched it closed but you can't be doing those type of movements yet.” I sighed feeling useless as another bomb shook the ground.“Let me put some salve on her stitches, doctor.” Valerie murmured rubbing in a sweet smelling cream. “This should help numb the stitches so they won't hurt if you do have to move.”“Thank you both.” I replied, slowly sitting up. “Those bombs have been falling for the last three days now. How much more punishment can the main floor of the Crypts take?” I asked Nathan, feeling uneasy about our situation.I could see that Nathan was very reluctant to answer. “It probably won't be much longer, honestly. We have to make some hard choices now. The only other place we can go is the Forest and that has its own set of challenges and hazards as you know.” He heaved a heavy sigh, rubbing his face from the growing pre

    -Karen-At the snap of my fingers, my brother’s arms were torn from his body. Screams of agony echoed around me while the soldiers took aim at me. A soldier was yelling, but I paid him no mind. I heard the same soldier call my brother’s name, Marcus, telling him to hold on. I giggled softly enjoying this scary side of myself and met Marcus’s now terrified yet agonized gaze. “Marcus… I’m going to annihilate you and as I do, I will make sure that your soul quivers in unimaginable terror.” He some how lost more coloring in is face at my calm words“Ground Spears!” I shouted angrily punching up into the air. The soldiers that surrounded us were now high up on the points of the spears with blood gushing and dripping down the jagged rocks, more groans and moans of pain filling the air which was tainted with the scent of blood. “Soul Snatch!” I ripped the wispy soul out of the body, and he looked terrified. “Soul’s Doom!” Just like before, a white demon charged right at him and shredded his

    -Karen-I woke up enveloped in warmth, but I was extremely sore. I really felt like I hit every tree branch coming down from that fall. So sweet- He changed my dress. The orchid under dress. I looked over to my right and saw Conor and Alexander cuddled up next to me both sleeping with their mouths open. Ha- My loves. “Conor!” I whispered softly. I tried to roll over and found out that was a mistake. Ah! I’m still busted up pretty badly… I grabbed his hand that was cupping my left cheek and gently squeezed it. Wake up!Without opening his eyes, “You’re the most recklessly insane person I know, Karen Anne Elizabeth. That was awe-inspiring, terrifying and thrilling all at once, but I don’t want to repeat that any time soon.” Conor said rubbing my cheek with his index finger. Mm. So warm… “We’ve only lost two ships in two separate incidents before but that was insane!” He opened an eye and leaned into me. “You have a lot of injuries still. You broke lots of bones. Bet you’re sore?”“Very!

    -Karen-Conor groaned while rubbing his face and then looked up at me. He rubbed his eyes again. “Is that really you, Kay? You’re not an illusion, right?” He whispered sitting up quickly and grabbing my left hand pressing my palm to his lips. “You know I’m not upset with you- Don’t you?” I dropped my gaze feeling so much shame as I stood before him. “I-”“You may not be upset but I am.” I interrupted quietly. “I just see myself punching you and then charging at Joanne and then the nightmares I had. I may not be cursed anymore but the weight of my guilt is so heavy. I feel like I should just die and end everything once and for all. But that wouldn’t be fair to you or to Alex.” I closed the gap between us and hugged him tightly. “I love you Conor. I love you and I hate that I only hurt you… I feel like I do nothing but that.”He was silent but he held me tightly to him after he pulled me onto his lap. “I wasn’t sure if I was going to get this again.” Conor kissed my cheek and nuzzled my

    -Karen-Sweet kisses on my lips woke me up though it took me several minutes to realize I was in bed next to Conor. As soon as I did, I tried to move away from him. “Ah ah ah!” He captured me quickly and pulled me back to him. No. Please don’t!I completely avoided his gazes and wouldn’t let him kiss me at all. “Karen- You won’t even look at me.” I could hear the disappointment in his voice. “Alexander cried all night after you left. Will you at least hug him?” I shook my head. “He says Mama now.” I don’t care. I can’t be here anymore! I only hurt you. I can’t continue to be a danger to you and everyone else here.I took advantage of the situation and pulled away from him. “Karen! Wait!” I left the tent as quickly as I could hearing him following me. “Please just listen to me!”All eyes were on me and it shot me right back to the memory of charging at Joanne. I dashed to the clearing and left the camp as fast as I could. I raced back to the Royal Crypt, crying the whole way. The guilt
