The dark energy has consumed King Alex...

Nova paced back and forth in her room, her fingers tapping rhythmically against the cold stone wall as she stared out of the window. The palace grounds below seemed peaceful, but she knew the truth, the chaos had started bubbling just beneath the surface. Her mind raced with thoughts of how to save King Alex from Kylie's grasp 

She watched helplessly as the remnants of the dark energy spread through his body, corrupting his mind and soul, and transforming him into something unrecognizable. 

Every second that passed felt like a countdown, the urgency pressing on her chest like a vice. She knew she didn't have much time; the darkness would spread faster If she didn't act soon, there might be nothing left of the king she once knew.
