The Faithful Meeting

I walked around the castle and looked along the destroyed walls and ashes along the ground. I looked at bit sad then walked inside the throne room and saw the throne was untouched. I walked up the stairs then walked straight to the throne and tilted my head. I ran my fingers along the smooth black onyx interior of the arm of the throne. I sat on the throne and closed my eyes.

"Do you like the throne, Your Highness?" Victoria asked as she looked at me from a distance.

I opened my eyes and looked at her. She had a smile on her face as she walked closer. I watched her then looked around the room.

"Why is this room untouched by the battle?" I asked.

"Because...They couldn't open the door. Rumor has it that a spirit guards this very room." Victoria answered.

I nodded then crossed one leg over the other. I tried to sit like a queen, but it was gonna take some getting used to. I looked at Victoria and blinked.

"Hey Victoria...How did we meet?" I asked.

"Hm? Ahh...Well it all starts like this.." Victoria started.

~3 years ago~

"Find the girl! Bring her to the Prince dead or alive!" A knight said.

Victoria ran fast and long. She tripped upon a tree root and fell. She looked back and heard the sounds of horses galloping quickly. She got up and ran once more. She made a quick turn then hid behind a tree and panted. The knights, who were on their horses, went past her. Victoria looked back then sighed and sat on the snowy ground, looking at the sky.

"Mama...Papa...why did he have to kill you..?" Victoria asked herself. "You two were the only thing I've ever known...what am I to do without you two..."

Victoria looked at the ground then sniffled and wiped her eyes. She cried softly as she sat on the cold ground. She lowered her hand then saw someone reach out their hand to her.

"Are you okay?" The voice asked.

Victoria looked up and saw me looking at her with my supporting hand out waiting for her hand to meet mine. Victoria's eyes shined then she slowly took my hand. I helped her stand then gave her a smile. The knights rushed back to their post before one of them spotted us.

"Halt men! There's the target! Look who's with her...Princess Stella!" The knight said.

One knight grunted and looked at me. He slipped away and vanished before the other knights saw him. I looked at the knights and glared. Victoria hid behind me and looked afraid.

"Well...Seems like the Holy Order are back at it again...killing the innocent. I'll have your general's head at my disposal!" I summoned my bow and got in a stance. My dark aura surged powerfully around me.

"Careful men! She bares one of the most powerful Lunar Arms, Twilight's Bolt." The knight got off his horses and withdrew his sword from his scabbard then glared.

"Twilight's Bolt...My custom made Lunar Arm and the first one to be made!" I said and twirled my bow then smirked. "You're all pathetic in terms of power so I'll kill you all here!"

Victoria watched in awe. She looked at me and back at the knights. I summoned an arrow then watched the knights roar and run towards me. I vanished in high speeds then appeared above then knights and released the arrow. The arrow struck the ground and a dark explosion occured then the knights were blown away. I landed on the ground and ran towards a horse and got on it's back.

"This way! Hurry!" I said and Victoria began to run towards me. She took my hand then I pulled her on top of my horse and the horse galloped away.

"Get her! Capture her and the princess!" The general commanded.

The knights got on their horse and raced towards us.

"Victoria, take these blades!" I summoned two katanas and held them out towards her. "Hope you can fight!"

"Yeah I can!" Victoria took the blades and looked at them.

"Those are the Hade's Withering Blades! Created from the dark power of a demon! Now let's show these fools who they are messing with!" I said and the horse stopped then we got off the horse.

The knights stopped in front of us then got off their horses. They roared again then drew their blades and charged at us. Victoria's aura surged powerfully as she got in a stance with her blades.

"I will kill you all! I won't allow you to hurt more people!" Victoria bellowed.

~Present Time~

I looked at my hand as I listened to Victoria's story. I balled my hand into fists then closed my eyes.

"I was around 15 at that time. You were I believe 16. Three years before the Holy Order attacked the Kingdom of Lunia. As far as I'm concerned, we are the only two in the world with this type of power under our belt. Lunar Arms are very powerful weapons and you're the one who made them." Victoria said.

"Twilight's Bolt.." I said to myself then attempted to summon my bow. I couldn't summon it for some reason. I looked at Victoria.

"Maybe you just need more rest...Your magic ability will come back to you once you're rested." Victoria nodded.

"Y-Yeah...I hope so." I stood up and decided to walk down the stairs. "I'm going to my room."

"Right." Victoria said as she watched. She looked at the throne and smiled then turned away, walking down stairs.

I entered my room and closed the door then walked to my bed and sat on the bed. I looked at the mirror and saw the marking on my face then touched it. I twirled around and admired my new body. I smiled then looked at myself in the mirror. I closed my eyes and went to get changed into my nightgown then went to lay on my bed.

"I mean a lot to her...I wonder how important I am to others..." I said then closed my eyes. "Maybe I'll find out more tomorrow.."

I say to myself before drifting away to sleep. I rolled on my side then let my hair cover my eyes, sleeping peacefully.
