Then his gaze hardened.
"But you're still wasting my time."
His energy began to rise.
The ground beneath his feet cracked slowly.
Queen Luna felt the sudden weight in the air.
"This pressure…"
Commander Niva whispered,
"Everyone… get ready."
Darwin lowered his stance slightly.
"For your sake," he said quietly,
"I hope you can survive the next attack."
A sudden shift in the air.
"What the hell is that…?" Commander Niva said in shock, seeing Darwin create a cosmic bow.
Energy condensed in his hands, forming a massive bow of swirling space and light.
Mind Link
Ezra: Retreat for now.
Darwin: Why? I'm about to destroy them.
Ezra: The King's orders. He already got them.
Darwin's eyes narrowed.
He turned sharply.
"Where did the Primal Thrones go?"
Ezra: The King rewrote the spell. Using the distraction you created, he captured them.
A brief silence.
Then
Darwin exhaled softly.
"Minasan… looks like my king has already captured the Primal Thrones."
He lowered the bow slightly.
"So, until next time."
Riley stepped forward angrily.
"What the hell are you talking about, you punk?!"
Darwin didn't answer.
He began to ascend slowly into the sky.
His presence faded…but the pressure remained.
Commander Niva looked around quickly.
"Where is Ashley?"
Queen Luna frowned.
"…Huh? I thought she was unconscious on the ground."
The battlefield fell into uneasy silence.
Three Days Later
"Huh? Where am I?" Kyle asked himself.
"Looks like you're awake, brother," Riley said.
"What happened? Where is Ashley?"
"Easy now, fella. We don't know where Ashley is, neither the Primal Thrones. That guy said something about the king capturing them," Riley replied.
"Before I went out cold, he said 'cousin,' but I don't remember anyone from our family lineage with the name Darwin Goes Stark," Kyle said.
"Which confirms my suspicion," Riley thought to himself.
Commander Niva opened the door and entered the room.
"The orders were to call us if he wakes up."
"Knights, arrest them," she said.
"What's the meaning of this, Commander Niva?"
"Both of you are under suspicion of cooperating with Darwin Goes, the Adventurer, for the theft of Stellavore and Flameheart," she said. "If you resist, both of you will be executed in this room."
"How dare you? There is no way we would be involved in such a crime," Riley said.
"Enough, Riley!" Kyle shouted. "Looks like injustice happens everywhere.
Queen Luna, standing by the door, looked away.
Queen Luna said, "Take them away. Ten days from now, they will be executed for treachery and theft."
Scene Shift to Aethoria
Valot the Advisor said, "What's with the pressure?"
Ezra TGA replied, "The king is furious. I can't believe he destroyed his clones all because he kicked Ashley so hard she hasn't woken up yet."
Her eyes began to open little by little.
"Where am I?" she asked. "What's with the cute maids dressed like Japanese maids?"
"Good day, Miss Ashley," Soramo said (Head of Maids).
"Who are you?" she asked.
"Please forgive me, my name is Soramo, Head of Maids. The king brought you here for us to treat you."
"King? That's right… the being whispered something to me," Ashley said.
(Flashback)
"The king said you should meet him at Luminaria Outer Atmosphere."
(Present Time)
"Who is this king he was talking about?" she asked.
"That would be me… little cuz."
Ashley's eyes widened.
The air around her suddenly became heavy.
That's impossible
