"You would probably despise me when this is all done."

A melancholy tone enveloped the dimly lighted room encased in frosted glass where the main source of light was a seemingly grave filled with fresh blooming flowers of bloody red. Upon it lay perfectly still a maiden of great beauty untouched by time, the absence of life from her was prominent adding to that her body being covered with black crystals in certain parts. From those a dark aura emitted in a wave filling the room yet a presence of gentleness still could be felt, she was definitely a being of great relation to the Royal Family of the Shadelian Empire. For she wore a gown of white with the finest embroidery and the bed she laid upon had the engraving of the Striker Emblem.

"Yet, I am willing to go to great lengths just to have you come back to me, Myrinna. Come back to me my Queen."

Spoken with much silent pleading, one could not hope to hear from the current Ruler of the Shadelian Empire. His eyes directed only at the seemingly slumbering maiden filled with forlorn and love. It is without a doubt that the Cruel King reputation was merely a facade in front of the Shadelian Queen. Reaching to touch her, the dark waves further increased in volume filling the room with much negative toxicity. Yet, there was not an ounce of hesitation within the dark king. Finally caressing the Queen's face, he could not help but kiss her as well.

"I wonder if she would forgive us, Rune."

The King turned around to look at the source of the voice and grunted. It was none other than his so-called brother-in-law. Regis, the Summoner as he is called and known as one of the Commanders of the Dark Kingdom. Nevertheless, the Summoner could avail a higher rank if he wanted to but Regis had no interests in such things. It was only the two of them who knew the entire story that plunged the Shadelian Empire into its current state. The coming of the Chaos Gem and its true purpose. That is why the two of them already prepared themselves for the consequences.

"We both know that she would never, Regis."

Formalities between them are forgotten when inside the chamber of the fallen Shadelian Queen. They were reduced to nothing more but to two men wanting to hear the voice of the female before them once again. Regis walked closer as he gazed at his sister who had succumbed to such a depressing state. Furthermore, he had come here not just to visit but to confront Rune about Rhianna's situation. He had agreed doing a lot of disgustingly evil deeds however, he had promised Myrinna to watch over her children.

"More if she would discover what happened to Rai, Ryu and Rhianna. You know how much she loves them. That is why I want you to stop the experimentation with your remaining child Rune."

Eyes glazed with much disagreement and coldness stared into Regis who remained unflinching. There was no doubt in Rune's mind that Regis and Myrinna were siblings both of them had similarities in physical and even in their personalities. Silence governed between them as the Shadelian King began to make his exit not muttering a single word. However as he reached the exit, he spoke with much underlying meaning.

"You would like Rhianna better, Regis. After all, she has become like her mother."

With that said, The Dark King had left the Forsaken Chambers leaving Regis alone. The Summoner shook his head and gazed at the exit where Rune had left. He does not want to regret what he had done to have Myrinna back.

"My sister forgive us. Until, you are awake I have to walk this path and at the end would be my demise. I have accepted that."

Regis kneeled in front of the slumbering Queen with much revere while Rune walked towards the laboratories where his remaining loyal child had been detained. He knew as a father that this was inexcusable. However, he had chosen a role and that was as a lover. Thus, nothing else mattered to him even the demise of all things around him. The doors opened to the laboratory opened as the Head Scholar greeted him with much fear and vigor.

"My KIng!!!! So glad for you to be here! She is finally ready!"

Walking pass the elderly scholar, he looked at the object before him where Rhianna was encased and gave a smile not meant for happiness but a malicious intent. "Good"
