Blank Kingdom

I kept my way with Cody to the next village, Blank kingdom. Just to make it quick and clear, I asked him something before arrived at the next village "Can you please just stick to me and do not go anywhere? I have been using my years to keep this horse alive, so please"

He smiled at me and said "Sorry, I will do it. What do you mean you used your years?"

I just said "You will understand when I teach you magically"

His eyes bright right after "Magic?? I am gonna become a wizard?"

I sighted "Yes, one of the strongest ones" and smiled.

Once we got there I saw Blake in the village, so I just walked normally avoiding any type of contact with him.

I bought food and kept my path. I realized Cody was turning red and sleepy, so I asked him "Hey! are you ok?"

He looked at me sadly and said "I am sorry, I just feel tired"

But when I touched him, he was feeling hot. I knew that I had to take him to a place and find a doctor.

I asked different people but they all said Blake was the doctor of the village, so I just got closer and asked him for help. He did not realize who I was, and he presented himself pretty cordially "Hi, ma'am. My name is Blake, I am a doctor and also a scientist. How may I help you?"

And just to go directly I said "My kid is feeling dizzy and hot, I need medicine"

I thought to use magic, but I could not reveal myself, or I would make Cody paid for my actions. So I just followed Blake and he gave me what I needed. He also offered a place inside of the palace to let him rest, at this point I thought "How lucky I am, just to get a room inside of every palace a stopped by"

I just took Cody, gave him a cold water bath and some medicine. I stayed by his side and watched him in his sleep until the sun came down. When the night arrived I decided to go over the library, I knew that Blake's kingdom was famous because his scientist methods, so I thought that I might find something really helpful.

When I got in the library the door was locked, and Blake just appeared behind me "It is my study room, and it is private"

So I inquired "Why are you restricting the library? I think it might be helpful if everyone gets such important information."

He just responded, "Humanity is selfish and they only think in themselves, so I decided to control everything under my kingdom."

"So you got some trust issues?" I asked

He laughed "Of course, I have been betrayed before, and I do not want it to happen again."

I just sighed and said "I supposed. Well, I go to sleep, then. Have a good night."

He stopped me "I can give you any information in exchanged of other information."

So, I knew a perfect plan "This is a roll with basic magic, it might be helpful."

He looked at me "Are you kidding? Ugh, I will take it."

Once I got inside I decided to touch everything and closed my eyes, so I could keep everything inside, and then he said "you only got 5 minutes."

So, I ran touching everything. I got what I needed when he said "Let's go."

He asked, "I guess in the base of what I watched, you are a magician?"

I just kept walking and before to get into my room I said "yep, but I do not an abuse of my powers and I am a really nice person."

The next day Blake asked us to stay another night, I wondered myself for a reason but I just did not ask.

I went to the village to buy some random and useful articles, Cody was feeling better but asked him to stayed in bed and Blake decided to come with me, he was talking all the time and asking me about my magic and how can I related with science, but I just ignored him all the way.

Even if I saw him all serious before I could not believe he was so annoying from a different perspective. So I said "I am not gonna talk about it, so leave me in peace"

He just looked at me seriously and said "Let's get married."

I blushed and said "Are you crazy? Did you just really proposed to me?"

He laughed "Now I got your attention, but I am not trying to annoying you. I am just trying to learn, that is why I am a scientist."

"So, that is why you just decided to ask me to stay another night?" I inquired with suspicion.

But he just laughed "Of course not. I just asked you because I think you are pretty and I can feel you are not here to hurt anyone, I feel your intentions."

We just kept the silence and walked again to the palace "I cannot stay another night, but I appreciate it."

He looked sad "Why?"

"I need to do something in Sabbath kingdom" I just decided it and kept it with myself.

He looked at me mad "I do not allow it, you should stay and you are not going anywhere" and showed his tongue out.

I got annoyed and said, "I have to do it, or..."

He interrupted "or what? the sun is coming down, king Afzal used his powers with king Jasper's powers to create really powerful creatures and every night at least one person disappear between this kingdoms"

I could not believe what he was saying "Ok, I should protect these people then, Cody is gonna stay with you inside of the palace. I will go"

Cody ran to me "Do not go, it is dangerous"

I just hugged him "Someday you are gonna see what I am capable to do and you are gonna be able to do it, too"

Blake came closer "I will go with you. I will help you and study your powers."

"Ugh, It is fine." I just said.

I left Cody with a servant and gave them a Tournament crystal already purified, and conjured for protection.

I went with Blake in the middle of the forest to wait for anything and he asked "What kind of magic can you do?"

I looked at him bothered "almost anything"

So he asked again "That involves any kind of elements?"

I was surprised he did that kind of questions "Yes, I can use the elements in my favor"

"Can you describe the meaning of witchcraft star?" he asked.

I laughed "It is not only a witchcraft star, every point represents each element."

He started thinking and asked again "But I only know four elements; Earth, Water, Fire, and Air. What is the fifth?"

So I responded "I am not still sure, that is the only thing I have not discovered yet. But I think it involved spirituality."

He looked confused "Would you share that information for my studies if you find it out?"

So I just think about abuse a little "Only if we get a contract when I get my position as an independent queen."

He smiled "I thought you did not want to marry me, but I accept."

I blushed angrily and said, "I am not talking about marrying you, fool."

He laughed and then four indescribable creatures came closer, so he said "There they are" and touched his sword.

I had a weird feeling, so I paralyzed them and came closer to observe. Blake just asked, "Do not you think that we should kill them, first?"

I shook my head in disagreement "I know them, this specie belongs to hell. I guess king Afzal is summoning demons."

Blake was intrigued "I understand why Jasper was working with him"

I was worried "It means he is using people to do this. The people who are disappearing, to be specific."

He assumed "And people from Sabbath kingdom."

I snapped my finger and the demons burned under fire "We need to go back again to Blank kingdom."

He started again with the questions "How did you do that?"

I sighed "Look! to use magic you need to visualize what you wanna do and how powerful you are, as much as how much do you want something to happens."

He got annoyed "I got it."

When we came to the kingdom monster were attacking the houses around and not only taking people with them, but also killing them, so I thought "Shit! my father did not I only wanted to conquer everything in a peaceful way, but also kill everyone" I knew he was not able to wake up the moon's flower, but he was finding different ways to get what he wanted.

I jumped off the horse cut a demon's head with a knife, and shoot fire with my other hand, while Blake was cutting by the half to the demons that were getting closer to the palace. I was able to see the blood, intestines, their hearts coming out, I also observed them screamed while I killed them, and for some reason, I lost control over myself, I saw the moon shining and I started to laugh.

Blake saw me and tried to get closer, but there were too many demons around. For some reason, I knew what to do and started talking in Hebrew, the ancient demon language, and they stopped moving to paid attention to me. I just asked them to kill each other and they did it, the kingdom's ground started to become in a sea of blood mixed with different types of organs and I started to eat them, after a couple of minutes I faded away.

Blake took me into the palace and, ordered to changed my clothes and cleaned me. During my sleep I dreamed about an unknown demon, he started talking about life, about a new beginning, he said a lot of people were about to die and the year would be the worst of all, he did not tell me who he was or showed his face at all but just said "You should find me. If you wanna know who I am, you should ask Astaroth" a smell of raw meat was around the place and everything was really cold. I suddenly heard a loud sound and woke up.

Cody was by my side, and Blake was outside of the room waiting, so I stand up and said "We gotta go, now"

Cody just grabbed some articles and walked by my side.

When I came out Blake just asked me "What happened yesterday?" "How did you did that?"

I knew he was confused, but I did not want to explain "Is a long story"

But he was really worried "Please, I promise I would tell anyone. I am just worried about you"

I sighed and asked Cody to wait outside the palace and make sure our horse already ate and drink water. So, I grabbed Blake's hands and took him to the library, I took off my shirt and he blushed and said: "Do not do that, what are you doing??!"

I looked at him and showed him my back "This is a birthmark, I am princess Mileena from Sabbath kingdom. I am the heir of the royal family stolen powers."

He looked surprised and laughed "Now it makes sense"

So I asked, "What are you talking about?"

He looked at me and sat in a chair "The last thing I heard about you it was that you ran away. Then, your father made all those monsters and everyone was mentioning a flower."

I touched his shoulder "It is ok, you do not have to understand. I will talk to you about it someday later."

He smiled "I appreciate it."

I just said my last words before walking away "I asked a servant to dug a crystal, and I will purify this land, so any kind of monster would not be able to trespass. Thank you for everything, by the way. I will see you someday again."

When I was about to go, Blake, stopped me "I think you should leave Cody with me"

I got a momma offended attitude "Why?"

And he explained, "When you get there is gonna be even dangerous, and you are not gonna be able to protect him."

Cody looked at me really sad "Do not leave me, please"

So I kept the attitude "You are wrong, you just want to get my kid away."

He got annoyed by my answer "What if you lose your control again and hurt him? Also, if I would want a kid I will just get it."

I hated it, but he was right "I will come back for you, kid" and give him to Blake.

Blake just said, "I will protect him, do not worry."

Cody started to cry "Do not leave me, everyone I love always do that. I do not want you to leave me, too. Please."

I just looked at him "I need you to trust me."

So, Cody asked, "How I know you are really gonna come back?"

I started thinking and I got an idea, so I took Synth's brooch and said "This is something really precious to me, someone gave it to me time ago. I need you to keep it and do not damage it, ok?"

Cody stopped crying, cleaned his face "Ok! I will be waiting for you, mama"

I touched my chest and almost cry, so I kissed him and ride away.

I started smelling a bad odor and think about what it was. Then, around me appeared different types of demons, all just watching me like if they would wait for me. So, I just kept my path to the Sabbath kingdom.
