Open your eyes shut.

The bridge was burning, in front of farmer's eyes soon enough they wouldn't reach to their protects, Delora's army burnt every farm and animal, they surrounded the Mainland proudly and brutally, Delora made sure that there was no way to enter or exit the city.

The army ran into the half-empty city; people moved out from there in fear of being attacked since they heard about Cordelia's scape with her little army and weak Uncles.anyone who stayed tried hard to protect their honour and family with the whole of their heart.

Women and men side by side fought against the brutal, great army of the process Delora, some of them died, and the others won proudly against the invaders who attacked their home ruthlessly and by force!

Finally, they reached onto the cast;e broke the gate entered quickly without any guards or men to prevent them, at first Dalora thought it must be a trick, but surprisingly she found out the empty castle belongs to her, she broke every golden stuff such as statues, vases, windows and mirrors, burned every books and shelf, set a fire in the whole chambers and hallways.

Finally in the throne room as Delora got in proudly on her horse saw an older man sitting in the middle of the hall with a soft smile on his face, peering at a portrait calmly like he is don't know anything about all the event which was happening around him, his strong fingers were holding the image so tight that nothing could separate him from it even fires and sounds of breaking stuff around him.

"Uncle Arthur"

Delora called him as always he named him as a child a long time ago, everything has changed now, the sweet girl who was running around with Cordelia as a child was a demon attacking her realm now, the little princess who loved to sit on Arthur's lap all the time hearing about the legend stories was responsible to kill him right away.

These thoughts made Arthur smile at her gazing up and down at her armour.

Arthur"you are quite a warrior now," he said, admiring her with all of his hearing, Delora looked down in shame, looked up at him once again in despair.

Delora"revange must be taken."

She demanded firmly trying hard to hide her shaky tone.

"Villagers killed your cousin or farmers? Did you think who do you attacking?" he asked wisely looking back at the portrait" she never killed anyone unfair" he growled as Delora sighed in repair, fires were catching everywhere it was time to go or burn with the whole castle.

Delora"come with me I won't hurt you, I will be the queen, and you can advise me like before," she asked innocently kneeled in front of the old king as he sighed and shook his head.

Arthur " I had one queen and Im planning to see her" he demanded, Delora looked away bit her lips.

Delora "Uncle you can't die," she said honestly demanding him to go with her, but Arthur shook his head stubbornly held the portrait tightly in his arms as he closed his eyes.

Arthur "goodbye, Delora and remember, Laura, is coming for you."

Hearing the Legend queen, Delora trembled in fear she widened her eyes.

Delora"isn't she dead?' she asked, but it was too late fire burst in the room, and the princess broke the window climbed up from it turned her head to face the king.

Delora "say hi to Sharon for me" she demanded as she was escaping from the window.

Arthur " escape like all the cowards who burn and scape" he exhaled freely, the fire was catching him sweat coated his body as the fire surrounded all around him and embrace his chair, he didn't yell tightened his grip around the portrait smiling and frowning at the same time, Delora reached to the royal garden which her army was burning it looked up at the window.

Delora"goodbye Arthur," she said borrowed another horse as hers was burning with Arthur now and rode away from the burning castle onto the next city to claim more, she was eager for a fight, blood and power.

Laura, Princess, Brishen and Robert were riding onto the north, when they reached the rural borders of Mainland, she saw everywhere destroyed by the house Limber hide under the cloak not to be recognised by the inhabitant of the Mainland, villages were mostly empty, made her heartbroken all the pride that she made for the country. Its land has gone by the revenge of Delora.

Robert was riding beside her worried about her health, knowing how much she loved her people and lands, everywhere were covering with a corpse and blood few women were wiping here and there.

Princess"It's your kingdom?" she asked half sarcastically and half surprised as Laura nodded helplessly, a woman was pulling a core and crying, Robert jumped of his horse went to help, Laura stared at him for a while before getting off her horse and following him onto the woman.

Brishen frowned in disgust "Robert never understands what should a royal do!"

He protested, although Lura heard him, she had no interest in arguing with him right now, so just kept going onto the woman.

Robert took the body and held it to a whole which the woman was pointing at, he buried the corpse as Laura let her cry on her shoulder, they repaired her home and gave her some money meanwhile Brishen and Princess were sitting on their horses in disgust without moving at all.

Laura got back to the horse as she was about to mount on the horse Robert grabbed her arm.

Robert"they need us here" he stared in her eyes innocently trying hard to convince her into staying a bit more.

Laura "as Hamo gets here he will kill us all" she curved her lips, but she knows women of the village cant bury all the corpse by themselves they were tired, starving and upset.she took a deep breath and nodded. Robert helped her down from the horse, gazed into her eyes.

Robert "you always know what is the right thing to do" he kissed her softly made Brishen clench his fist.then continued"you and Princess help them to tide up to their home and provide them some food, I will bury the corpses, and we will leave until we get back stronger and take our lands back."

he assured her gazing into her eyes to prove his point,

Brishen sighed stayed on his horse when even the princess gets off to help. Laura looked at his son, hopelessly.

Brishen raised an eyebrow"I am a prince !I wouldn't do that!" he protested angrily as Laura sighed, Robert grabbed her arm once again shook his head as a sign not to argue with him Laura nodded and went back to help. They entered the first room. Two girls were living there; Laura got surprised as she saw them crying over their mother's dead body.

Laura separated them from the woman gave them water and Princess pulled the corpse out.

Princess "aww it's heavy" she nagged but did it anyway and got back.

Princess "Laura!there is blood on my gown."

Laura sighed slammed her forehead with her palm and got up to wash the prince's skirt children giggled at this, then Laura searched for food and gave some to them, a few days later all corpse. Has gone and everywhere was neat Laura paid everyone as much as she could and took some of their men to help her in war,

they did with every single village and gathered as many soldiers as they could, at days Robert trained them to fight. Nights they gathered around a fire drinking and singing, everyone was with hope there was a rumour about the legendary queen who searches the villages for the soldier secretly, so some of the men started to ride onto her to find her and join her tiny army.

Delora was rebuilding the castle in a way she wants it to be with no sign of house Barren.

Laura was sleeping in arms of her lover when she heard some footsteps getting closer to them she stood up in the dark, gloomy night wore her cloak as it was cold and she might need it in case of danger!

It was five men who were with lots of swords and horses as they reached to the woman with the black cloak kneeled in front of her, she raised an eyebrow in surprise, the man who was in front of others kissed Laura's show looked up at her.

Man"we are at your service my queen" others repeated this sentence, Laura smiles at them and let them stand on their feet, she smiled at them and thanked them for joining the tiny army.

One of the men who were older with a cigarette in the corner of his lips bowed again to Laura.

Man"I heard when we are going to be in a misery the legend queen will be back and will rescue us."

the other man nodded as he was happy to see the queen "My father knew, someday will come that the legend queen gets back and bring us peace and wealth."

Laura laughed "I don't know about the wealth."

All the ones were sleeping joined those five men and bowed to the queen. Laura gazed over at Robert who was looking at her proudly and with love, Princess gluped nervously as she notices how much popularity she has.

Laura claimed the throne once again this time knowing its the right thing and now that Cordelia cant be the next queen the duty of her lands gets back to herself.....

"Long live the queen"everyone was yelling.
