VIII: The Prophet Song V

As our eyes stare at each other, I felt my surroundings change, the light on the last and innocent island is now gone as well, the prophet once stood here, when he first showed me a sign of his call, now that I'm here he was gone, but now I'm with the worse person to ever exist. Her face formed a smug and her tongue rolled around her lips and slowly she started to laugh. She extends her arms and the darkness ruled over the sky, it started to rain and thunder were striking everywhere, I could sense a team climbing towards us, but im not sure if it was my team or hers. I don't need some back up, I think I can do it, for the prophet words inspired me to be a change man.

Behind her was the hell that she created, a half world, poor innocent people from the other countries must be confused on what is going on, unless they've heard the prophecies of the prophet, the pool of blood made the ocean red, the burning core of the world were visible and the people who fell into it suffered alive in its temperature similar to hell. The sky was getting dark, for this is the only land who had the light, im afraid that it would be gone soon. Ogres were all around and some of them were waiting at the foot of the mountain behind her, I could smell their odors from here.

"I'm showing you what you can do when you follow my lead and be my king, sweet little Castlevine." The tone of her voice was very teasing, her eyes were narrow and she showed her true human form by making the lions and the eagle wings disappear. Her black dress turned to her formal dress but it remained black, her hair falls down from her head to her back and in her eyes I saw our past, but it didn't bother me, for the past isn't that important for my people. "I will start all over again, together with you if you accept to be my King, I will give you the equal power that I have and together will build my plan, if you forgot what it is, I'll remind you." Before she even had the chance to remind me, I shook my head and her face seriously stare into mine.

A lightning strikes on my left and after the light fades away I saw her wearing a mask, shaped like a fix head, and the eye liner were a mixture of red and black. The whiskers were like blood, and her dress returned again, but instead of full on black, there were marks of bright red not quite visible in some parts but it was beautiful. She lifted her right hand and everything was under her control, for it is the hand that made every rule, however I prepared my self to avoid being under her control, I grabbed into the handle of a rusty and dull pocket sword that Galileo Cross gave me earlier and prepare my self from the attack, he said that it would make the victim suffer doubling the pain while moving it around inside.

"My sweet Castlevine, I wanted you to be a King to fix everything that is wrong within you, may I wish you, a silent peace for I am the most powerful being in the world." She quick run towards my direction and I pulled out my sword and I felt the power of the prophet are within my heart. She then summoned a sword within her right hand and I quickly defended my self for she had an advantage over mine. The blade of our swords hit each other, and the force of pressure between us got into our nerves. "Give up you already Sweet Castlevine, I don't know how to kill a man like you… I wore the mask to avoid my beautiful face being damage!" She screamed before she dashed towards my direction, but I quickly avoided her but I didn't had a chance to read her move, she swing the sword to her back hitting my arm in the process.

I fell in my knees as I stare to her back, I could see the side of her mouth forming a smug and she spoke an ancient language, and after she spoke those prayers, I felt the pain in my wound doubled.

Her blade made my blood boil and I quickly fell to the ground. She looked into me and I quickly looked away, I heard her laugh again and saw her kneeling in front of me, she touched my chin, controlling my head to face her direction as I try to lessen the pain by breathing, the blood boiling made me lose my energy and as she lifted my head up to face to fully face her I heard a powerful voice coming from a far, the spell was T.E. Conway's magic, but chanted by Larry Melina.  We both lost our attentions and she quickly stepped back from me and prepared for her own safety.

The sky showed a bit of its light, flashing multiple colors to various directions like it was dancing in the sky, but the heat of it felt like a temperature of a star, it was more worse than a lava, and felt similar to the hell of this world. The land shake again, and the Black Queen looked a bit confused on what's going on. I saw Valkyarie in the air slamming her axe into the Black Queen but quickly avoided it. The impact that she made a giant hole on the ground and she started to play with her axe as she screamed in rage and happiness, she grabbed my hand and she helped me stood up. I saw Tawal Alshamas with his small magic wand he cast a spell and the Black Queen's body language showed nothing but fear. 

"Black Queen!" I called her and looked into my direction, behind me was the army of Larry Melina, beside him was the crew and they all wore a suit of a jester. Valkyarie looked to me and I took a deep breath. "You've said it your self, you believed your reign would be short, destiny wants to fix it by making it shorter, I dare you to surrender for all of the gods, within their laps, I have been granted to purge what ever I can… don't try to make it hard for you!" eye to eye with her, I let go of my battle cry and everyone else rushed towards her. Larry Melina chanted the spell again.

"Gaga!" The sky became bright as the flaming fires fall down into her, and she quickly covered her head and while she's distracted I rushed towards her direction and with the wills of the prophet my sword grew to a normal size sword and stabbed the Black Queen Directly to her cleavage, where the mark of her reign history started.

And the feeling of love was all over us. In the glimpse of my side I saw a child, running in front of Galileo Cross, that child was me, a young poor but pure innocent boy, literal small Castlevine. He was holding the sword running towards the Black Queen.

We got her centered and she got nothing to do. She called her ogres but I think it's too late for them, before they can even arrives she'd probably be dead. Everyone was here except Grave, he was no where to be found, and I suddenly felt nervous, for the death is missing in action. I double checked by looking around and my eyes weren't lying.

Everything felt slow, yet fast phased. I pulled out the sword and slashed the sword to her as she faces me, it hit her neck and as I continue to slash her blood splattered to my direction, she was almost beheaded but the ground shake, I lost my balance and fell to the ground again hitting my head on a rock.  I saw the ogres coming from the spaces between Larry's armies legs, I looked up to see the Black Queen vomiting blood while holding her neck to prevent further bleeding.

Silly her, her chest has a bigger hole than her neck, it bleeds more.

My eyes began to blur again, but I was happy to hopefully finish my mission for now. I heard a loud ding from both my ears, which annoyed me the most, I stare to Valkyarie who was running towards the Black Queen and saw her axe swinging to her neck and her head flew to the right, but she continued to swing her axe, killing her heart as well. Tawal Alshamas, run towards her and stopped her from being so brutal.

T.E. Conway and Larry Melina both used their magic fused them and they formed something different, the body of the Black Queen, exploded and I slowly began to lose my breath. And all of the ogres run away when they saw their ruler dead on the ground.

Did she took my breath away to? Was it part of her plan?  Was it all worth it?

"Always listen to the words of the mad man!" I heard Valkyarie's voice in rage was the Black Queen's body kneels to the ground.

"All of you people, listen to what the prophet told you to do, continue your adventure for the land is still sick." Larry's voice made everyone listen. "The battle isn't over, and it will go on."

"Joseph, all of the people has been evacuated and preached... Where's Joseph?" Galileo Cross asked and just laughed to my self, I don't know where I am as well.

As soon as her knees made contact to the ground I felt the ground shake again, and I was quickly alarmed by how strong the shake was, the mountain caused a landslide and as my vision fades and my weak body starting to ache I saw my self reaching towards my hand, I extended it but couldn't grabbed him. My vision was lost entirely, but I could hear them whispering something, those words we're strong.

"I'm caught in a landslide!" it was the voices of The White Queens all in harmony. "Open your eyes!" They continue, but I can't hear them quite well for my ears are almost dead.

"The battle isn't over, the death isn't around to collect her soul." I heard my own young voice warning my team. There were silent for a second and I felt falling down a mountain. Im blind, weak and dead inside, there's really nothing I can do to answer. "Grave is aware of it, and Joseph must be wake." My self added but instead of replies, I heard nothing but screams from my team.

The ground shake more and I felt the mountain is collapsing. I slide to the ground and felt something touch my hand, dirt entered my ear and my body started to bump in various rocks, wood, bones, and dirt. I felt the touch gripping much more and we stopped for a moment before coming back.

And from a distance I saw a red star glowing. I tried to walk to that direction but with my body I just couldn't.

I felt someone's heart beat being in synced with mine, though I'm blind and deaf, my energy is drained and broke, my heart would still fight to love.

For the people.

My eyesight restore, as well as my hearing for a cold air travelled through my ear. The sound of a koto and a guitar played around blending to create what the prophet sang when I was in the battle. In front of me was

The prophet standing facing backwards into the light. I heard him laugh and I couldn't face him this time. We defeated the Black Queen, but what's the cause?

Destruction, chaos, end of the world?

I have fulfilled his prophecies, I must be dead. And this must be my judgement, heaven or hell, I don't mind.

"You did a good job, Joseph... Now, open your eyes and proceed with your next."
