10: Hallow followers

Bryce summoned two males into his temple-a long purple haired male with light blue eyes and a short raven haired male with purple eyes. Both of them bowed as they saw Bryce before them. "Yes m'lord?" they said in unison

"Jackson-Kirk you two are my loyalist of subjects and the ones that I trust the most in the realm of the dead, you two are the last children of the man who made the kingdom of the dead in Iaclomar. I wish for the two of you to help the new Queen and King of the dead get rid of those who threaten the kingdom of your deceased father. You'll be going up against a powerful wraith-which will go after the king, two female angels and a demonic male. One of the angels and the demonic male will go after the queen. She is who you must protect with all of your lives."

The two males looked at Reyna before the purple haired male smile. "It will be an honor to protect you My lady, I can assure you that you have nothing to worry about. This kingdom will go back to it's former glory soon. My name is Kirk Wright. Beside me is my younger brother Jackson Wright."

Reyna smiled at the two males. "My name is Reyna Militia, I look forward to seeing what the two of you can do Kirk."

The five of them left the temple and they could see the large form of Avery's father tearing apart everything in his path. Kirk and Jackson shook their heads. "Father would be devastated to see this happen to his beloved kingdom." Jackson said looking to Kirk

"Agreed, we promised father we'd protect those who'd get the crown Queen Reyna now wears upon her head. So let's fulfill our promise to our father."Kirk said with a nod of his head

The duo disappeared without another word as Bryce looked at Avery and Reyna. "You two are the only two who can claim to be king and queen of this land thus forth. Avery you were once the leader of the reapers in the reapers game, you played by the rules in the book of the dead and you kept your oaths and promises. For that you were granted to be king by the woman who found the crown of the dead." Bryce said as he reverted Avery back to the state of half alive and dead.

Bryce then placed his hands upon the crown that was on top of Reyna's head. "And you young lady are a unique individual who has gone through hardships throughout your family and throughout your time in the reapers game. You had people choosing to side with your elder angelic sister than with you. You had people choosing not to do things properly and harming those who shouldn't have been harmed. Unlike you, you had a heart and gave people a chance to prove that they had a heart and could care for someone other than themselves. You spared many people as your trial time as the Queen of the dead. You spared a woman who was left for dead and two duos who were brother and sister. One who was wounded. You have what it takes to become the queen that this crown signifies. For that you are granted all of the powers that this crown has to offer to you. Only one who may take your crown is any who you may make with the man who will stand beside you. Because the two of you are now in the state of half dead and half alive. This will be known as a way of conjoining you two into marriage. The moment you step foot onto the grounds of your kingdom you both will be sealed with a dark ring upon your left ring finger that cannot come off until death completely consumes both of you. I look forward to seeing what the two of you will do in your own kingdom together."

As Bryce spoke the curse activated once more turning reyna back to her half death like form, she then laced her hand with Avery's before they both bowed to Bryce. "Thank you lord Bryce."

"Of course, If either of you need any guidance you know how to find me." Bryce said before he went back into his temple and the flames dispersed

Reyna looked at Avery with a smile "So...what do you think, shall we meet up with Kirk and Jackson?"

"Of course, we can't let them have all the fun." Avery said with a grin as he pulled her close to him "Let's go my love."

The two of them flew to where they saw Jackson and Kirk only to see that they were having troubles with Reyna's father. Reyna took initiative and got between the three males before she kicked her father into the wraith king as she stood in front of Kirk and Jackson with a large scythe in both of her hands.

"This kingdom is not yours to destroy and tamper with, I suggest you leave while I'm still gracious enough to let you do so." Reyna said coldly

"I thought I told you to take that fucking crown off of your fucking head you little brat! This kingdom has been dead for centuries! I made fucking sure no one would be able to revive it from the dead from once it came! Don't make me kill you as well!" Her father hissed out coldly

"This kingdom has been here since before your own father, this kingdom is the oldest kingdom that has ever become a part of this world, this kingdom is a gift and curse to this world. It is the balance of life and death and you are tampering with something that is beyond your own control. You cannot destroy something that is already on the brink of death. As long as there are people who will fight for this kingdom there will always be someone who is worthy enough to become the ruler of this land. You just so happened to have made the next kin to the crown without realizing it. I may have been once upon a time half demon, half angelic. But that is not who I am now. I am completely different now and I am no longer of your own kin. So your control over me is no longer." Reyna said calmly

Her father went straight for her only for her to use her scythe to cut him down and kill him on the spot, she then looked at her mother. "Leave before you are next."

Her mother was in tears but she did what she was told, the wraith king was pissed to see that Avery hadn't gone home like he thought he had.

"Son how dare you defy me! You are the eldest of the Sparkfreed name! You are to take the throne! Not be part of some nonsense like this!"

"Then father you only have yourself to blame for the fact that I have fallen in love with Reyna. Had you not placed my siblings and I here-had you not thought that we needed to 'toughen up', I wouldn't have met Reyna and fallen so deeply in love with her." Avery said as he went up to Reyna and pulled her by her waist into his chest "She is my wife now and as long as we are in love and here you cannot break us apart from one another. Our love is so much deeper and tougher to break than the love you carry for the woman that birthed me."

Reyna looked at Avery before she looked at his father. "I suggest you leave unless you wish to be like the king of the Militia kingdom. As it is I will be waging war upon the Militia kingdom, do you wish war upon yourself as well?"

The wraith king reverted himself to his human form as he glared at the duo. "I do not wish war-but I do wish for my son to come home."

"Not going to happen, he is now my husband and that is just how it'll be. Goddess Tina and her husband lord Bryce helped us get to be where we are today. So unless you wish to displease the gods that watch upon us I suggest you take your wife and leave before your entire kingdom becomes nothing more than a grave sight for those who once lived there."

Lou took Esta and the two of them left out, Reyna disarmed her Scythe and she turned herself to look at Kirk and Jackson "Do you know how to go about making it so we have people who'll help us out with taking out the entire kingdom of Militia?"

Jackson nodded his head. "Yes, there are others with the Wright name that came from other males that our beloved mother Goddess Tina has had that would be able to help out. It may take us some time to get them all here but we can get them."

"Take your time and don't harm yourselves." Reyna said with a smile "Avery and I will be reverting this kingdom to it's former glory."

Jackson and Kirk bowed their heads before they left out, Reyna then looked at Avery. "while I was prey I had read a few of the books in the library about how this place once was-I was so curious about how things worked in this place that I read everything in that library. I believe that is why when I was chosen to be prey-the crown showed itself. I showed interest in this places history. To place this kingdom back to it's former glory you and I are going to need to work together."

"Very well my queen, what did you find out?"

"Follow me."

She walked over her fathers dead body before going passed all of the rubble of all of the different buildings before they got to the stadium that was still in tact. She ripped up the fake grass in the middle of the stadium which showed different in scribed markings upon it. Avery's eyes widened in shock.

"I never knew something like this existed."

"This kingdom has a seal on it for those who are deemed worthy enough to be king and queen of the kingdom. Now...here's the kicker of it all. There are two things we need to do just for the kingdom to go back to it's former glory. The first is we need to place magical energy within the inscribed circle." Reyna explained

"That's not too bad."

"No...the second is we need to prove that we are in love with one another to be called the king and queen of the dead."

"Just how do we do that?"

Reyna used her hands to motion what they needed to do and Avery averted his eyes from her as he looked away from her. "Is that truly the only way?"

"Yes a kiss or anything else will mean nothing. Are you willing to do so with me Avery?"

Avery placed his right hand over his left, knowing that he was bound to her-it was only a matter of time before things got physical between the two of them. He knew that all too well, he then looked at Reyna. "You are my queen, you have given me the same chance as I've given you in the past. I will go forth with what must happen, this is our kingdom now so we must do what we must to make sure people understand just what pure love looks like."

Reyna happily smiled at him and she placed her hands upon the markings on the ground. "Shall we then?"

He did the same as Reyna spoke in an unknown tongue to him, as she chanted the writing on the ground glowed a light teal blue color and the two of them felt as if the air became fresher around them. The stadium became no more as well as the many buildings that were destroyed and untouched by the two kings who had gone on a destructive rampage. In their place came to be a large estate and many small buildings that made up small towns around the estate. The estate itself was made of large gray stone blocks and had made skeletons guards with halberds, swords and shields. The dome that once locked and caged the kingdom away from everything else broke, shattering into pieces. The pieces turned into souls of people that came to walk around the kingdom as if nothing had happened to them. Reyna then got up and she looked at Avery. "The souls we see are from the distant past, they will not linger long nor will they be able to see and talk to us. The last part of what we must do will bring forth a new day and age of this kingdom making the old souls of those who once protected this land to rest in peace."

"If that is the purpose for it then I will be as gentle as I can with you dearest Reyna, I do not wish to harm you." Avery said as he walked up to her cupping her face into his hand
