Love Doomed Them All

Queen Tiana's expression was that of pain and rage. Red noted that rather than what she initially thought as Queen Tiana's hair flowing like water, her scarlet crowning glory had actually turned to flames!

"You test my love for you, Rakda. I should have ended this when you killed that poor faey before," the Faey Queen said.

The Darkling smiled lovingly at the woman in front of him. He looked as if he was actually happy about what Queen Tiana had said to him.

"I am glad that your love for me still holds true, my darling," he said as he moved forward. The Darkling stretched out his right hand and bowed down dramatically, "My love, come with me."

Red was utterly perplexed.
