Final moment

After a while, Aya stood while holding her breath. She is trying to maintain her nerve. Arslan was lying on the floor. His eyes were closed, and Aya not sure if he was still breathing after taking all the beating.

"Arslan wake up"

Aya could feel her knee dropped to the floor. There's something about this that makes her mind going blank. Aya minds clouded with the image that almost faded. She has been in this situation before.

Arslan gets up and he wipes the blood running down from his forehead. Spitting out his fallen teeth where it rolled and stopped at Aya feet. She thought to herself that it must be painful.

"You are still alive, such an insect. Tsch.. But what can I say, that's how our blood running out wild and tough to die"

Arslan vanished to thin air and appeared in front of Derrick, it was split second and now Derrick's neck in Arslan's hand.

"How dare you use my brother"

The pain was unbearable the time he held his brother's neck. His mind assured him that his brother was long gone, but his heart still hoped that his brother still existed inside. After a moment, blue light appeared around his grip and it spread to Derrick's body.

"You already growth to be such fine man, little monster"

Arslan trembled. He loosened his grip on Derrick's neck. Derrick's face looked softer, his eyes wet with tears and his eyes shining with a deep blue ocean color.

"Brother? You back?"

"Little buddy, we don't have much time left. Kill me under this bloody sun. That's the only way to stop this circle of fate. You must kill me now while he still inside me"

"No, you already got your body back. There must be a way to draw him out from your"

"Sorry buddy. For this moment I sold my soul just so I can talk to you. My soul will vanish soon after he gets this body. I was trapped somewhere so don't feel guilty for killing me, its my last pride and duty as a royal"

"Please, I just got you back"

"kill me now, don't hesitate. For greater good"

The real Derrick, was gentle and wise. Even just a moment, his presence left a deep impression on Aya's mind.

"Sorry brother, if we were ever to be reborn again. I wish we would have a different path to live. Different pain to endure and be happy as family. Today sin, I will pay with my life and yours"

Arslan lost in words, he just nodded. Forcing him to accept that for this lifetime their fate was to be parted away. To believe there must be something more important that worth the pain.

"You insolent child, I will arise, I will be back. Hundreds of years? No matter how long it takes, I will always come back. Because that's how it will be, because it's a curse, the bloody circle curse that has no ending until I can get what I want."

Both of them let out their inner magic, the light meets in the air, it burns everything near them. Ayanna was shaking her head, wondering if she would witness the annihilation of the kingdom.

There's a loud sound before Aya felt the pain on her cheek. It took her awhile to realize she was falling into hard ground. The pain gets her wide awake in her own room.

"I am back? To reality?"

Her cheek was on the floor and her eyes caught a silhouette that was standing near the window. Aiden and Zaden were drawing their swords.

Their eyes met and from the dim light from outside the window, she could tell that they were willing to kill and to be killed.

"Please die on the outside. I have enough seeing blood today"

The swords still haven't separated, behind its sharp edge there was sharp glare between those two guys.

Aya dropped her jaw when she saw the bed behind her already split in two. She couldn't stop thinking how on earth she survived that.

She felt heat rise above her head. She has to stop both before they destroy the entire room. Thinking on how high they are now, Aya is afraid whoever underneath will suffer if they fall down.

"What a pain in the ass. Zaden, I said stop. "

Zaden smiled broadly. He seems stronger than usual. Aya can feel his presence more clearly than before.

"I am sorry princess, since you did not order me to come and rescue you, I cannot reach you. I am here now"

Aya let out a soft sigh. She just shook her head and got up from the floor. She shove off some of the dust from her shirt.

"Stop fighting and act like humans. Let them.."

Aya stops talking and rushes to the bathroom. He was throwing up. Seems like all the tensions that build up from seeing the blood rushes over her.

Zaden left Aiden and appeared behind Aya. He tucked her hair up and patted her back. After a while Aya was shaking, her hand felt so cold that her grip was so strong and her nails sank into Zaden skin. It bleeds.

Zaden, flick his finger and Aya lost her consciousness. Zaden let out a soft sigh. He takes her on her arm and walks out of the bathroom.

"This debt, will not be taken lightly your highness"

"Threatening with a polite smile. You as cold as ever old soul."

Zaden takes Aya. The prince sat on the broken bed, his eyes were fixed on his swords.
