War: Begun

*************

CHAPTER 509

"I believe you are all complete. It is time to war if you do not choose peace."

Immediately all of their eyes blazed with fury and their attention returned to the war at hand.

"War it shall be."

"War to make our claim."

"War it is to pay back."

"Then so be it. War to protect it shall be."

All the kings and queens and had spoken. The path they would take had been decided. After a minute of staring into each other's eyes, Marceline was the first to turn away.

Following her, the others too began to leave by the time they were gone, it was just Astrid and Blade left.

She wanted to leave but she could hear him somehow and that had gotten her attention.

"You came with them to take my life, huh?"

"No, Astrid."
