Mika and Luca

"Daniel, enter." Mika is sitting on one of the thrones, he's not pleased with the current situation and frankly, I'm not either. However, Mika tends to go overboard when he's mad.

Daniel enters the room and bows in front of us. "Your majesty's, how may I be of service?"

"Do your damn job, Daniel, you're our assistant a trained assassin yet you can't even kill a human?"

"I apologize, however she isn't-"

"I don't want any excuses."

I stand up and approach Daniel; he looks up at me with a worried expression. "Are you at least keeping track of her?"

"Yes, your highness. She's about to go on her first mission, the plan is working so far."

"Do you know where she's going?"

"I don't, but I have one of my people tracking her."

"If she goes to the volcano, make sure you kill her."

Mika gets up angrily. "Just kill her before she leaves damnit and save us some time."

"What of Rin?"

"He's protecting her, if he's around it'll be harder for me to do the job." Mika and I look at each other and nod. "You're dismissed." Daniel gets up and leaves the room. "Let's visit grandmother, shall we?"

Mika pulls the lever that leads to the dungeons; we both grab a torch and descend the stairs. We pass multiple cells with prisoners before we reach hers. "Hello, grandmother." Mika hands me his torch and grabs the bars to her cellar. "Hope you're enjoying yourself."

"Call Rin back here." I move the torch enough so that we can see her; she's chained to the wall with anti-magic chains. She doesn't eat or drink or even speaks.

"We know you care for him and Skye so call him here and we won't kill him."

"You can't….kill him."

"What was that?"

"Surely you know that, Mika." I grab his shoulder but he just moves away from me. "Let's go it's getting late and we have to be up early."

Mika and I have been close to each other since we were born; twins are always more close to each other than anyone else. There was only one person we felt closest to and that was our mother, but then she got taken away from us. She sacrificed herself to stop our grandfather when he should've killed everyone.

We didn't know we had a sister; she was locked away in the dungeons the same one we have our grandmother in. It was only after the war that we had learned the truth. Mika and I vowed to kill her and everyone protecting her and we'd bring our grandfather back.

After centuries of patience and waiting we can finally begin. Other gods, demons, and humans can try and interfere but they won't succeed, we were trained by our father who is a warrior, and by Daniel an assassin.

"Mika and Luca please come quick." Someone knocks on our doors waking us up. "It's an emergency."

Mika and I rush to the throne room and see Daniel and his men lined up bowing. "What's going on?"

"We have an update," Daniel says getting up along with one of his men. "She's at the volcano; this is her first mission so she won't be on patrol. We'll start attacking at night, we'll cover the area with smoke that'll make them all weak and tired then I'll have my men spread out ready to ambush everyone there."

"What about Rin"

"We got a plan figured out for him, you two may not be able to kill him but that doesn't mean we can't. I plan on having my best men take care of him while I'm dealing with Skye." I look at Mika and once he approves of the plan, he usually changes the plans if he doesn't like something although this seems very thought out so it should work. "We're getting ready to leave, any final requests?"

"Yes. Make them suffer." They all nod in unison and leave the room.

The most pointless law of all, royals can't kill other royals. How I hate that law, it serves no purpose other than to get in our way. Unless the other kings and queens vote to remove it there's nothing we can do. We can try all we want but it's like our bodies and minds know it's taboo so we can never finish.

"Your highness, Mika is waiting for you in the throne room. We have a live video of the battle that is currently happening."

"Thank you, I'll be there in a moment." The view is lovely up here I do hate to leave when the sun is setting, but I must be on my way.

I arrive at the throne room and sure enough, Mika is watching the battle, once I sit down he updates me on what's happening. That's when Mika and I see her for the first time up close; she looks just like mother did. It's infuriating, why her.

Daniel gets stabbed and pushed off Skye but how? There was a dagger it was moving so fast we could barely see it. Someone runs up to Skye and holds her, who is that? Daniel tries to catch up to them but ends up collapsing and the video ends.

"Who the hell was that?!" Mika yells furious.

"I think it's safe to say it's someone from the demon clan, your highness."

"Really? What makes you say that?"

"If you were to pay close attention to her hand you could see traces of a ring." Mika and I look at each other in confusion then at our scholar. "Demons don't have magic, and they're not exactly compatible with the rings the humans use. If a demon has one on for too long it starts to meld with their skin."

"What is a demon doing with Rin?"

"Perhaps she knows about Skye and her situation and she's taking her to the volcano that seemed to be the direction they were going."

"Mika we need to get down there fast." He looks at me and nods. Why would a demon help them? We need to stop them before Skye reaches the volcano or our plan is ruined.
