Sacrifice for love

At that moment, Daïna analyzed what could be at stake, and in her mind she thought: << now I know what I have to do >>, once the prophets left, she stole the scroll so that no one else would find out. and she quietly left through the back door. Once in the castle, he saw Ambrose playing with little Artemis, he hid the scroll, approached and said with a slightly soft voice << I love you more than anything in this world >> then he went to his bedroom leaving behind a reluctant silence.

Seeing that the parchment had disappeared, the prophets were alarmed and commented directly to the king, to which he responded: << Why all the fuss over a worthless piece of old paper? >> Although the king knew of the existence of the prophecy, he never gave it importance until he discovered the identity of the babies; Distraught, Andrew sent one of his guards to find his sister and Ambrose.

Meanwhile, the greatest of the prophets told the king that he would also have to take the boy in case he inherited his father's powers. To which the king said furiously: << No, we will not touch that child's hair.

Upon arriving at the castle, the guard met Daina and Artemis; Just by looking at him, Daïna knew it was time. she left with him, leaving Artemis with the maidens. Once in the palace, Daina saw the king with the prophets; Before Andrew could open his mouth, Daïna said: -I know, I know everything; But you are wrong about something, I am the bringer of darkness, not my husband

-But what are you saying? Andrew asked, puzzled.

-How do we know if what you say is true? —asked the apprentice prophet. Seeing that no one believed her, Daïna slowly approached the pimpernel in a corner of the room while secretly taking out a small silver vial containing Ambrose's blood, she put a few drops on her index finger so that when she touched the plant it would be he martyrs himself; which she will verify if the prophecy is true. She then added: << Do you think a light bearer would be capable of doing something so atrocious? Do whatever you want with me but leave my family alone >>. Everyone looked at each other for a moment until the king broke the silence saying: No, I refuse to believe it, I can't lose you, you are the only family that... He was interrupted by one of the prophets saying: - Duty cannot mix. With your majesty emotions, we have to do something before it's too late.

At that moment, Ambrose walked in, saw a gloomy Daina, and asked what was going on. She insisted so much that they had to tell her the event; Without thinking, he took Daïna by the hands and they returned to the castle.

The next day at dawn, thousands of soldiers gathered at the entrance of the castle with Fatir leading the army. Despite the fear that the other soldiers had of Ambrose since he was their captain in command, the powerful rivalry that Fatir had towards Ambrose caused a hatred that changed him petulantly and told him: -Do not try to resist Ambrose, no matter how strong you are, We are thousands and you alone.

"I'm not afraid of them," Ambrose said. -I am willing to die for my family, although I warn you that before I fall, hundreds of you will fall with me.

"We have nothing against you, we only want your wife and your son," Fatir said sarcastically.

"Miserable," Ambrose replied. He threw himself at the soldiers, swinging his sword like crazy but trying not to kill anyone. Meanwhile Fatir went after Daïna and Artemis.

When Ambrose tried to stop him, the soldiers grabbed him from head to toe; He tried to free himself by all means possible (fists, kicks, teeth,...) anything that would help him escape. Meanwhile, Fatir managed to reach Daïna, who was alone, and asked her where the child was while he squeezed her neck; But despite not having all her abilities, Daïna fought and resisted Fatir to protect her son, until a soldier (José) arrived with Artemis taking him by the arms;

Seeing the child sobbing distracted Daïna, so Fatir took advantage of her situation to hit her hard on the back of her head, which left her unconscious.

-When I'm done with her, kill the child. Fatir said as he dragged her by her hair to her backyard, put her on her knees, put the sword to her neck and said: -You see Ambros, I always win. Ambrose was seriously injured and too weak to stand up, so he said wearily: "I am willing to put aside my pride and humble myself before you; But out of mercy, for what you love most, let her go! Feeling powerful, Fatir smiled for a long time and said: - Who could believe that the great Ambrose, the legendary warrior would kneel before me, but it's a shame because what I want most It's seeing you suffer. After saying this, he raised his sword and executed Daïna; Her head rolled to Ambrose's feet. and Fatir added: "Now it's your son's turn."
