Selena's Daughter (The Prophecy) - Episode 18

 

Grace used fire to break the ice and quickly attacked Darken with her own fire balls. Grace was getting frustrated with time especially with Darken avoiding every balls she shoot at him.

But Grace knew she had to beat him.

She had to defeat him in order to save the world, and that is what she was planning to do.

The fight went on and Grace was getting exhausted. King Darken had a smirk on his face and it anger Grace.

Grace was about to make a wave torrent around him there when she felt something hot spread around her ankle.

She let out a loud scream and fell down to the ground looking at her red swollen ankle that was burnt badly . It was burning and she let out a loud hiss when the burning sensation increased.

"First rule princess, keep your eyes open for everything around you", he grinned wickedly, Grace shut her eyes in pain. Darken laugh out, he enjoyed seeing her in pains. Grace grind her teeth hard and put her hands above her ankle, she relaxed a bit when water covered it.

Darken raise his two arms up and the cloud darkened. "Still think you can defeat me princess?" He asked mockery.

Lillian, Selena and Diana weren't too far from them. They were both engaged in their fight

. Lillian stronger than the two, with her dark powers, she made a cage out of dark magic and put them in, she turned and face Grace.

Lillian and Darken attacked Grace at the same time, running towards her together. Grace not knowing what to do followed her instincts. She felt something trying to come out, trying to break free from her body and she let it. The next thing she heard was a roar, a dragon's roar. She opened her eyes and realized that she was on fire, literally on fire. She looked above her and gasped out when she saw a huge dragon hovering above her.

The Dragon was made of fire. It had water and air surging through its arms and legs and its tail was made of elemental earth. She felt secure, Darken and Lillian was fast approaching her. Grace felt within her that her time is up, this is her end. Lillian body was quickly covered with fire and her inner beast emerged, a fire bird, made with dark fire.

. Darken was the same only that his own inner beast was a fire serpent with three heads. Grace ran towards them using her Dragon beast.

The impact of their blast that came when the three of them met was enough to throw every soldiers and demons, everything away.

When the air cleared, Grace saw Darken and Lillian on the floor not moving.

The cage holding Selena and Diana fade away and the Warrior demons of Darken faded into sands.

Victory is theirs.

Dugan smiled sadly when he saw his brother cold eyes.

Erica heaved out a big sigh when she saw Grace standing over the still body of Darken and Lillian, she ran to meet her twin. When she got to where Grace was she halted in her steps, and her eyes grew wide. A sword made of fire was struck at the heart of Grace.

Lillian knew that this was her end for both she and Darken, already they know they are no match for the child of prophecy, so they came out with a plan. If they are going down, Grace will follow. Lillian made the knife with her blood and Darken's. Grace won't survive at all.

Lillian and Darken started fading away leaving nothing.

Grace fell down but before she could reach the ground Erica caught her in her arms, blood dripping out of Grace mouth.

"I am sorry Erica" Grace spoke out slowly

"Shhh, don't say a word. Try to hold on Grace, you won't leave me. Not yet".

"I am sorry. You know, my mother use to sing me a song whenever I am in pain. I want to sing you a song", Grace said slowly, fresh tears was flowing freely from Erica's eyes.

Grace spoke out slowly:

Leave all your sorrows and defeat to yesterday

And remember all your victories today

Only when the sparrows return

Can I admire the wind and moon

The poems in the light of the blade

The shadow of the sword

By the time they're sung

I've long been devoid of grievances

Ignore the whitening hair and life

Ignore the years flowing past like water

Once the fire in your heart is Extinguished,

The Flower will emerge

Long ago, life has already doubled upon itself

Completed itself

Hearts tied to one another, lives connected with other

Feelings belong between love and hatred

This life, whether complete or flawed

I belong within your heart.

Grace finished and finally allowed darkness to take over her as her eyes closed in death forever

Erica cried out in pains.

Lucas cried

Diana cried

Selena cried

Everyone cried

They had won the battle but they lost someone dear to them.
