Chapter 22

She saw herself back in the world she once knew. a world of peace and stillness. tending to the animals in the barn, she saw her father and mother laughing and staring at each other with love in the calm afternoon.

She struggled to speak but realized she couldn't.

She wanted to reach out to them, join them and find out what made them so joyous.

Turning around, she saw Rufus draw out his sword, walking past her. Crying out to them, She pushed away with all her vitality, charging towards Rufus and pouncing on him, something in her howled.

Rufus' head rolled on the cold floor.

She saw herself back again in the throne room, blood on her hands.

Rufus patrols drew their swords reluctant to surrender, but she realized she wasn't solitary. Casandra and Princess Mary stayed behind her, ready to attack.

Prince Philip and his men penetrated, giving Serena and the others the support they need. with swords and daggers crashing further,

Isle was reclaimed at last.
