To Destroy A Kingdom

Outside…

The mighty castle could be seen from afar, under the late afternoon sun.

An afternoon wind blew across the land, swaying the trees that were standing tall and mighty next to the kingdom.

Suddenly silence spread across the area, for a brief moment, as if to indicate a 'calm for the storm.'

Then bright green light began to exit the windows of the castle.

Then a huge explosion of green fire caused the entire castle to explode, propelling bricks as projectiles towards nearby persons, killing them instantly.

Bodies were thrown everywhere as bystanders and other persons who were in the castle were blown away by the blast.

Emrica had been thrown in the nearby forest as she held onto the body of her beloved.

Moving some of the debris that had fallen upon her, she slowly got to her feet within the forested area.

Parts of her body and her clothes were badly burned but she was quickly regenerating until all the cuts, bruises and burns that she had received began disappearing.

Below her was Yoshuu's body, which she had protected when the magical blast from the warlock, blew up everything and levelled the entire castle.

Before she knew it, her body had magically healed itself, brought back to the way it had been perhaps even better than before.

She looked at the corpse which was once her betrothed, then she looked at the smoke, dust and ash that had made a covering to the surrounding area.

Lifting up the body and throwing it on her back, she quickly began to leave the forested area.

Before the warlock could find her, she had left with the corpse, under the cover of smoke and dust that surrounded the area of the castle.

Her intention was to return to Yamato Sadamune with the body of his loved son.
