Revenge of a Loved One Part XIV

Days pass as Veronica's depression gets the best of her and falls into a deep slumber. Every night crystal clear teardrops can be seen from her lovely blue eyes as she lets out her pain and sorrow deep within her heart. Feeling helpless I wrapped by arms around her as though comforting her as she slept, hoping to provide brotherly love. Veronica sleeps soundlessly, snuggling into the pillow and murmurs silently "Varkyle". I then took a closer look and can see that she is crying with a smile across her face as I'm hoping she's dreaming the memories that she and Varkyle shared. After an endless party reunion at the main hall and exchanges of past events, my friends went to bed for the night. All but the two twin sisters stayed wide awake talking of how things have been since their separation.

Aserina: dear Alleria, how long has it been? *sips tea*
Alleria: it has been too long since we're together, remember the days when we had to go on a quest for our bows?
Aserina: *nods* only too well. *sighs* if it weren't for the quests we would of still been together playing in the forest.
Alleria: well if it wasn't for the quests I wouldn't have met Mike, I suppose the outcome can be positive or negative. *sips tea*
Aserina: oh yeah Mike... *blushes as she recalls the passionate kiss* I'm jealous Sis... you met a handsome prince on white horse. *giggles*
Mike: *turns a corner from the halls hearing his name* hey who mentioned me? *smiles and waves* evenings darling.
Alleria: speaking of the hunk, and there he is. *smiles and giggles* Mike come join us for some tea okay?
Aserina: *lowers her head* evenings Lord Mike. Sis and I was just speaking of you...
Mike: most certainly darling. *wraps an arm around Alleria* you were Aserina? Evenings to you madam and I hope all was good. *grins and turns to Alleria* so this is Aserina...
Alleria: yes dear this is Aserina my twin sister, we were separated when a quest was asked of us from the village. *hands a cup of tea to Mike*
Aserina: I feel a presence in the room Sis *looks around the surroundings* do you feel it too? *turns to Mike* my pleasure to see you again milord. *blushes*
Ace: *telepathically says to Alleria* tell Aserina there's no one here, except the three of you in the room. As for myself I'll be in shadow form looking over.
Mike: what was this quest darling? *turns to Aserina* I don't feel anything, are you feeling all right? *takes the cup and sips*
Alleria: *telepathic reply* yes milord. *turns to Mike* the quest was to search for our special bows. Every Elf in the village had to accomplish this quest after they reach a certain age. *smiles*
Aserina: I think I feel okay Mike, although there is a strange feeling I'm being watched... *giggles and nods* anyway what Sis says is true, when I reached 14 I was sent to search for two weapons.
Ace: *thinks to myself* most interesting.
Alleria: and I was sent out to look for one weapon whereas Aserina was to look for two instead of one, still never understand why though. *sips quietly then says* Oh yeah Aserina by the way there's only Mike, you and I here no one else.
Mike: I see Aserina, so which two weapons did you happen to forge during your quest? *turns to Alleria* darling which weapon did you happen to find?
Aserina: oh okay Sis, if you say no one else is here I suppose no one is here. *giggles* you've always been the alert twin. *looks to Mike* well I found the Phoenix sword and the Silent bow equipped with silver tipped arrows.
Alleria: *giggles* am not and you know it Aserina. You've always been the brave twin so it comes natural that you are alert, so ha! *sticks her tongue out then turns to Mike* the weapon I found was the Pearl blade but I never used it since... *voice trails off*
Aserina: *sips tea* I suppose I am the alert one since I did notice a presence that was not there. *laughs*
Mike: both of you found rather interesting weapons *smiles and sips tea* I would like to see them sometimes. *turns to Alleria* why suddenly so quiet darling?
Alleria: *yawns* it's late dear I must retire to our chambers for the night, I do need my beauty sleep. As for why, I'll tell you later tonight my love. *kisses him*
Aserina: *yawns* I agree Sis. *turns to Mike* I'll keep that in mind next time and I'll show you.
Ace: *telepathically* night Alleria but before you go, come to my chambers. The Empress and I wish to discuss some issues for our next trip, which will be occurring very soon.
Mike: *kisses her deeply* yes darling you do need your sleep, so I'll be waiting for you in our chambers. *waves to Aserina* night madam. *gets up and walks to his chamber*
Alleria: *telepathically reply* on my way milord. *smiles and hugs Aserina* I must turn in for the night Sis, see you tomorrow morrow.
Asernia: night Sis. *hugs tightly* miss and love you. *heads off towards her room*
Ace: *fades into the darkness and into the royal chamber*
Alleria: I love you too Sis... *heads over to the royal chamber*

After the news of Varkyle's death settles in and throughout the Chaos Empire. As days pass Veronica's mood lightens up dramatically and a funeral was held for the death of Varkyle. That night after the funeral, Deandra and Lilith both come running into the royal chamber giggling and chasing around the bed.

Lilith: father, Deandra is being naughty again. *grins*
Deandra: mother, but I didn't do anything this time *sniffs and looks innocent*
Lenora: really now Deandra? *sits up straight on the bed* milord what do you think?
Lilith: father you believe me right? *giggles and grins*
Ace: *looks to my grown up daughters* well Lilith I think Deandra isn't that naughty, actually she is as mischievous as you are...
Deandra: *leaps over to my side of the bed* thanks father for believing me. *wraps her arms and hugs tightly*
Lilith: *blushes* oh yeah I forgot... we're twins... *giggles*
Lenora: *shakes head and giggles* now what are you really here for Lilith?
Deandra: *looks over to her twin sister* yeah why did you drag me in here for? You know father and mother are probably busy with you know. *winks*
Ace: *turns red with embarrassment* now Deandra... you and Lilith weren't interrupting anything... we were just discussing a trip soon.
Lilith: *nods and giggles* yeah I forgot about the knocking of the door. *looks over to her mother* Mom where are you going, can I come along? As for why I dragged Deandra here I forgot at the moment...
Lenora: *blushes at her daughters comments* now my daughters, father and I were just talking about the trip go talk to father about it.
Deandra: oh just great Lilith, dragging me in here as well. *looks to me* father I wish to stay behind this time is this okay with you?
Lilith: father may I come along on this trip?
Ace: yes Lilith you may come along. *hugs her tightly and looks to Deandra* yes you may stay behind in the meantime help Alleria watch the castle okay?
Deandra: yes I will, thanks father *smiles* as if I need to grow more than necessary any ways. *giggles*
Lilith: I'll get prepared... what to wear... what to wear... *giggles and rushes off to her room* bye mom! bye father!
Lenora: *smiles* bye dear. *giggles* don't we have hyper-active daughters milord?
Ace: yeah that's your side of the personality, I'm not that hyperactive. *laughs* although I don't mind having two wonderful daughters.
Deandra: I'll be off now too. *kisses Lenora's cheek and hugs me* night father! night mother! *rushes off to her room*
Lenora: not hyperactive? Now where were we before our daughters interrupted? *winks and smiles*
Ace: *kisses her lips and lies by her side once again* I believe we were just about to... *blows out the lamp and kisses her neck*
Lenora: *softly moans* well hope we don't get interrupted again milord. *giggles*

The next morning as Lenora and I approach our thrones, a messenger quickly ran to the front of us and announces that Veronica has left the castle and wishes that the Emperor and Empress of Chaos be in the best of health. After sending away the messenger I sent one of the Chaos warriors to look for Lutra, Karlock and Lilith to be prepared to leave soon.

Ace: I think I know exactly where Veronica ran off to.
Lutra: where do you think she ran off to though milord? What are her choices?
Lilith: *floats by me and thinks* Veronica and I never spoke much, I wouldn't know where she disappears off to...
Karlock: well my love you should know right? After all you two are vampires...
Ace: *a soft warm feeling glows deep within my heart* I have an eternal link to Veronica, I can't place exactly where but she's heading to the Daistra clan on planet Transylvania.
Lutra: than that's we'll start off searching milord. *teleports away with Karlock*
Karlock: we're off milord... *disappears with Lutra*
Lilith: aren't they quick... well daddy how are we suppose to get there?
Ace: *giggles and smiles* well since I know the area and it needs not to be traveled by spaceship, we can get there by a single thought.
Lilith: *nods and smiles* let's go!

Lilith and I teleports off to the exact area where Alleria and us left earlier last two nights ago to see if Lutra and Karlock are there ahead of us. Looking around the forest noting besides the burnt stains across the vast floor nothing much has changed. From a corner of my eye I see several sparkling daggers stuck to several trees, and sounds of swords clashing as Lilith and I head towards the direction of the sounds.

Karlock: milord! *waves from a clearing after slashing a vampyre in half* over here!
Lutra: be a little more quiet dear, we're in enemy territory. *whispered from slightly above the ground*
Lilith: *floats by me* daddy we're here? *looks around*
Ace: Karlock report in. *looks to several dead vampyre lying on the floor*
Karlock: hostile enemies has been encountered, destroyed and no trace of Veronica.
Lutra: greetings milord. *waves from the air* the remaining enemies has fled north.
Lilith: no Veronica? Daddy is she near?
Ace: my dear Lilith, I can't feel her presence here. Maybe if we continue further I'll detect her.
Karlock: pursue enemies? Yes milord. *continues north arming his massive blade across his shoulder*
Lutra: I'll keep an aerial perspective milord. *hovers above the trees*
Ace: we'll continue north until I sense her daughter dear, then we'll look for the Daistra clan.
Karlock: I see something up ahead milord, wait here. *dashes forward*
Lutra: milord I see the Daistra flag imperial base up ahead. *descends to the ground*
Lilith: *screams* Help!!! Daddy help me!!
Female: *covers Lilith's mouth from screaming* it's useless to scream, they are too weak to confront us. You're all surrounded! *laughs* Terra and Saex attack!
Saex: yes your highness. *sends a plasma beam towards me*
Karlock: *curses* it's an ambush! *slashes into a charging vampyre *
Ace: *casts the Mystical Chaos blade, sends a pure Chaos bolt to cancel out the plasma and swings slicing off an arm from Terra as I charge to reach Lilith* No!!
Terra: *screams and flings to one side* Ace you're finished! *casts the vampyre spiral and swirls around my blade and tugs*
Saex: Ah! *rolls to the left from the pure Chaos bolt which fries the wall of the castle* Miyuzaki your highness let's leave.
Miyuzaki: you'll never see this precious daughter of yours again!! *disappears with Lilith* let's go Saex.
Vampyre: *slices across Lutra's chest*
Lutra: *clutches her right breast and swirls a bright bolt of energy from her left hand exploding the vampyre*
Karlock: darling I'm coming! *rushes ahead and slices frantically through the rampaging vampyres*
Ace: *suddenly feels a warm feeling* Sis is nearby... *pierces Terra heart across her chest* I'll find you Miyuzaki, where ever you are! *sends a golden pure Chaos bolt into the portal just as she slips in*
Terra: *collapses to the floor* Saex... Miyuzaki don't leave me... *bursts into flames*
Lutra: milord... the odds are against us... *spits blood from her lips*
Veronica: Inferno Chaos Supreme!!! *a swirl of golden fiery light explodes in the center of the vampyres and a shadowy figure comes forth from within the flames* Bro!!
Karlock: *blinks momentarily and embraces Lutra* my love... you'll live... just rest.
Lutra: *closes her eyes and drops into Karlock's arms* I'm all right my love... *voice trails off*
Ace: Sis!! *holds onto her and sniffs* you look wonderful, I'm so glad you're safe.
Karlock: milord the forces has been diminished, but I can't continue on... Lutra is heavily injured there is a huge slash across her right breast. I must take her back to planet Chaos for treatment.
Veronica: but why are you here Bro? *looks to Karlock and Lutra*
Ace: well Sis I was worried about you going by yourself *hugs tightly onto her and looks to Karlock* you may return back.
Karlock: *holds onto Lutra and disappears*
Veronica: *looks to the castle* I sense Miyuzaki is within there, let's continue.
Ace: Sis... Lilith has been captured by Miyuzaki... who is she?
Veronica: Miyuzaki... she is Marisella's daughter...
Ace: I see, that's why she was after my daughter. Miyuzaki wanted revenge and knew I was to come back here, she was merely waiting. *sighs*
Veronica: Bro I'll vanquish her for capturing Lilith and revenge for Varkyle.
Ace: I'll be with you Sis. *floats with the Mystical Chaos blade in my left hand and charges a pure Chaos plasma in my right palm towards the castle*
Veronica: be careful Bro... *flies towards the hole that was made and into the castle*

The flaming inferno burnt most of the lower grounds and parts of the castle. Little resistance was left of the castle as the flames engulfed most of the outer gardens and what was left of it. As Veronica and I landed inside only but one part of the main castle was untainted by flames, the throne room. Veronica cautions that there is a sense of magic aura around the center room and be careful of Miyuzaki. As I turn the corner I see two vampyres take Lilith into the throne room.

Ace: I see two vampyres take Lilith into the throne room across the hall Sis.
Veronica: two vampyres? Those two must be Terra and Saex... Miyuzaki's two personal vampyres, they are capable of sorcery.
Ace: Terra? I killed her earlier outside the castle. How can she be alive still?
Veronica: As long as Miyuzaki lives, both Terra and Saex will be alive as well, those two sealed their souls to be her personal guards forever.
Ace: *curses* now I see, I knew they were immortal to begin with, not impossible to destroy.
Veronica: well what's the plan Bro?
Ace: *thinks* well Sis... what can you do with your magical powder?
Veronica: almost anything... except summons.. haven't learned that far....
Ace: no summons, well Sis a distraction will be perfect, can you create a live hologram of Marisella? *discasts the Mystical Chaos blade*
Veronica: I think I can, I knew Marisella quite well.
Ace: well that's a plan to go with while they're shocked, I'll rescue Lilith.
Veronica: okay Bro *evil grins* hope this works.
Ace: *slips into shadow form and heads for the throne room*
Veronica: *giggles and slips into shadow form* here goes everything! *casts hologram*
Marisella: *materializes in the hall and goes through the door* Miyuzaki dear?
Terra: *turns her head* your highness?
Saex: Miyuzaki your highness, your mother is here...
Miyuzaki: mom you're alive?
Veronica: *slips through the throne door* "speaks telepathically" Bro we're in!
Ace: *slips by Sis and charges two pure Chaos plasma with both palms* "replies telepathically" Sis remember to distract Miyuzaki.
Marisella: why of course dear, who informed you I was dead?
Terra: but we heard from several vampyres that you were dead your majesty... *confused*
Saex: *thinks* something isn't right here.
Miyuzaki: *rushes with tears to Marisella's arms* Mom how I missed you, I didn't know you were still alive.
Terra: your highness what should we do with the lil vampire?
Saex: *deeply thinks*
Veronica: *slips behind Miyuzaki*
Marisella: it's okay dear, I don't mind if you didn't know.
Ace: *floats over by Lilith* "daughter dear we're here to get you out, once we materialize we teleport"
Lilith: "yes daddy"
Miyuzaki: Terra and Saex leave the vampire here mother and I will watch it, we got matters to catch up on. You two go outside and watch for Ace and those annoying vampires of his.
Terra: yes your highness, we'll leave at once. *floats out side*
Saex: yes Miyuzaki. *floats out with Terra*
Lilith: *squirms* let me go!!
Miyuzaki: quiet you little worthless vampire. *sends a vamp dagger towards Lilith*
Ace: *crosses hands and sends the two fully charged pure Chaos towards the dagger and through the door flaming it* Omega Chaos Blasts! *materializes and frees Lilith*
Miyuzaki: what?! *curses* Ace I'm surprised you're here... *casts the Hellscreamer* Terra and Saex come forth!
Marisella: *fades away*
Veronica: *materializes and wide kicks into Miyuzaki's arm knocking her weapon*
Ace: quick Sis, take Lilith out of here! *casts the Mystical Chaos blade*
Terra: what? Ace is here? *casts the Lightning saber* this is revenge for killing me the first time *evil grins*
Saex: I knew something was not right... *rushes and jump kicks in*
Lilith: *sends a Chaos blast towards Saex* burn you incompetent vampyre!
Veronica: *quickly picks up the Hellscreamer and slices across Miyuzaki's head* that's for Varkyle!
Miyuzaki: *blood gushes from the neck and the body bursts into flames as it collapses* Noooooooo!
Ace: and this time I'll make sure you stay dead Terra! *slashes Terra as my vampire wings swirl across Terra's thigh*
Saex: *can't dodge the oncoming Chaos blast and bursts her into several pieces*
Terra: Saex... No! *sends a Lightning bolt towards Lilith as she cripples to the floor from the slice* die you little pest!
Veronica: *cleans off the excess blood spilled from Miyuzaki and casts an ice spell towards Terra* leave the lil vampire alone if you know what's wise.
Lilith: *ascends into the air bypassing the bolt and forward kick to Terra's head* who's a pest?!
Terra: Nooooo.... *as she slams into the wall, ice spell connects and freezes her into a solid block of ice*
Ace: *discasts Mystical Chaos blade* she's close as dead once we get back to planet Chaos. *evil grins*
Veronica: Bro you're not planning to conduct an execution are you? *giggles*
Ace: exactly Sis. *laughs and picks up Lilith*
Lilith: thanks for saving me daddy... I was so afraid to what they were going to do to me... *sniffles* they were about to slice my vampire wings off.
Ace: everything didn't work exactly to plan dear, but at least we got you out of there. *hugs tightly with my wings around Lilith*
Veronica: *looks around the throne room for anything salvageable*
Lilith: love you daddy. *wraps her wings around me* oh yeah I overheard another Empire going after you daddy, Miyuzaki mentioned it.
Veronica: *picks up the Hellscreamer and Lightning blade, then disappears it* these two will be just fine weapons added into my armory.
Ace: dear, I'll let you demolish this castle, who did Miyuzaki mention though? *smiles and kisses her forehead*
Veronica: *thinks* Lilith you should be 24 now... same as Deandra.
Ace: Sis get ready to teleport back to planet Chaos. *smiles and places Lilith down*
Lilith: Amon Clan! *swirls her arms together, closes her eyes and yells* Chaos Swirling Vaporize! *bright golden swirls of Chaos plasma explodes the castle*
Ace: we're off! *disappears into the darkness*
Veronica: wait up Bro *wraps her arms around Lilith and disappears into the darkness as the castle explodes leaving a bright greenish light into the night*

We all materialized back onto planet Chaos and prepared to tell the victory and recovery of princess Lilith. A grand dinner is to be held after the royal court meeting that is to occur tonight. Veronica and Lilith goes off to their chambers, then search for Karlock and Lutra to see if they have returned safely. The Chaos warriors around the palace is more than happy to see that the Lord and Empress reunited after a successful conquer of the Daistra clan.

Royal Ace: *dressed in imperial golden armor takes seat upon the Royal Throne of Chaos* My brave warriors, my loyal subjects and vampires of Chaos, tonight I bring news of victory over the Daistra clan. A clan that has plagued the Chaos Empire for centuries, yet they have crossed the line when threatening a family member of Chaos!
Empress Lenora: *dressed in white satin dress with a silver crescent crown on her head* milord congratulations on your victory and glad to see you safely back. *smiles*
Karlock: *kneels in front of me on the red carpet* I'm glad to hear of your return milord. *head lowers* I'm sorry that I couldn't be of much help, Lutra she was extremely injured.
Veronica: *materializes by the Lenora* you know Bro, the Daistra clan was but an annoying mosquito that needed to be swatted. *giggles*
Serena: *hugs Sis and weeps* I'm so glad to see you safely return.... So is Miyuzaki finally dead?
Mike: *appears from the darkness by my side* guess what Ace? I learned shadow form! *smiles* all thanks to Alleria and her sister. *giggles*
Chaos warriors: Long live Royal Ace!! Long live Empress Lenora!!
Selece: milord you weren't injured were you? *looks to me with eyes of tears* I was so worried that something might of happened.
Lilith: *giggles and floats by Deandra* I'm back Sis. *smiles and hugs her tightly*
Dragy: *stands on the throne and leans on Lenora* welcome back your highness. *cute bows with her wings spread*
Deandra: *smiles and hugs her twin sister heartily* missed you Sis, glad to see of your return.
Empress Lenora: my loyal subjects and faithful servants you are dismissed now. *pets Dragy* missed you too little one.
Lutra: *comes in through the door with a bandage across her chest* milord, I'm deeply sorry for my actions earlier. I was careless and will train myself, please forgive me.
Royal Ace: Sis, still they need to know where they stand. *looks to Selece* no harm has come to me, no need to worry. Karlock and Lutra... I know of what happened was not your fault, since it couldn't be helped. *nods to Mike* congratulations my friend, hope you learn more secrets of Chaos as I have. *smiles*
Veronica: Miyuzaki is far from dead, she has been eternally banished. *hugs Serena and smiles* finally Varkyle's death is avenged...
Alleria: *stands guard of the right side of the royal court hall* congratulations milord and your highness. *bows*
Asernia: *stands guard of the left side of the royal court hall* hope to see many more to come your highness. *bows*
Serena: *nods* yes the death of the Daistra clan is the first of many steps to show our enemies that the Chaos Empire is a force to reckon with.
Royal Ace: that is all for now my loyal subjects, you may return to what you were doing earlier prior to this announcement. A grand dinner is being setup as I speak, all families are invited. My friends meet you all in the dining hall, my lovely Empress and I have a few things to discuss.
Empress Lenora: we do milord? *looks to me with a questioning look*

The grand dinner was a splendid idea and everyone enjoyed the food and feasted heartily. That night after dinner Lenora and I spoke of our days together and how much we both love each other. Our daughters have grown to such sweet ladies from both our love and attention given. I then propose to her...

Ace: my lovely goddess, look how are daughters have grown. *smiles* they look alike like you.
Lenora: *lies down and giggles* my dear they resemble you in strength and personality my love. *winks*
Ace: Lenora, I love you... may our love last longer than time itself shall be.
Lenora: my dear Ace, I love you with all my heart too... and my wish to be with is you only you.
Ace: will you be my blushing bride?
Lenora: blushing bride? *giggles* let me think on it... *smiles and throws a pillow at me*
