Is everybody ready? We'll start with this very dangerous and threatening dragon, SWING THE AXE! ***Everybody closes their eyes waiting to hear the big splash, but they don't the only thing they hear is something collapsing, everybody looks up and the executioner lays on the floor with an arrow through his head***
Lawrence
***Stands with raised bow and raised arm, she gets eye contact with Coral*** Run! ***She signals at her ropes that were broken, the arrow hit them on they way***
Hong
**The crowd errupts into disorder. Angry cries, weapons drawn in the air, others fleeing from the noise and the chaos, making it almost too hard to think. The guards are all alert, a captain points to Raven's distant location as the charge begins. The King himself is outraged.**
Angela
|| qaysar and knox casually still tied up
Richard
So it looks like someone *ELSE* Wants to join the party! **Sparks of light are flickering from the young elf. His eyes narrow, voice calm but loud.** Raven Apatow. On charge of the royal family, *You are found guilty of high treason.* Surrender and your death will be merciful and swift.
Angela
|| LIAR! HER DEATH ISNT GONNA BE MERCIFUL
Michael
**The smell of smoke fills the air. The earth shakes, and volcano ash falls like a light snow as the red skies close in. A loud roar is heard in the distance.**
Lawrence
***Pulls out a moving bag from her bag, she plus them out*** Sdraug eht ekat! ***Some small black creatures runs directly at the guards, they jump onto the guards and bite, the guards fall down, they fell asleep every single one, Raven then picks up her bag and runs***
Nathan
**He looks up at the mention of Raven's name, his eyes were red from all the tears, he looks around, watching as chaos ensued, attempting to find where Raven was.**

**There she was, over there in the distance, did she use something to clone herself? He saw knox beside him, did knox use something to clone himself? He couldn't hear anything, he could hear his heartbeat rapidly increasing, struggling to grasp for air, he looked tired, he could barely manage to keep himself up, his hands were shaking, *What's happening to me?* He thought, he was overwhelmed with a sense of *Fear*, he couldn't bring his feet to move, he was frozen, in place**
Angela
|| PANIC ATTACK #2 WOOHOOO

|| idk why im good at describing panic attacks-
Carl
|| lol at first I thought he was drunk with the double thing
Nancy
**He smacks Qaysar hard with his good shoulder and huffs, strained.** *If you're a warrior you fight.* Get up and wreck havoc on this hell. **Using his teeth he grabs the arrow Raven shot and frees Qaysar the same, near-collapsing to the gallows from the exhaust and his wounds.**
Nathan
**He can see knox talking, rambling about, but he couldn't make out what he was saying at first, he could slowly start hearing again, his vision was getting better, but he couldn't move anymore, he was devastated, in the lowest sounding tone possible he said to knox,**
I- I can't move-
Lawrence
***Appears from behind them now*** Qaysar get up! We need to get away before they shed a new troop of guards, I don't have anymore snapples!
Nathan
**He looks behind him, at Raven, he looked weary, it was like he was trying to say something but was unable to do so physically**
I- i- **He breathes heavily** I- have to- destroy- him
**He rests his hand onto raven's shoulder, causing some of his blood to fall onto it from the wound Ilya gave him with the dagger he stabbed him with, which remained in his hand, Qaysar hadn't tried to remove it nor tend to his own wound while in his prison cell**
He- he- he killed her 
**Further tears fall down onto the ground as his hand's wound only seems to increasingly become worse**
Angela
|| he cant even keep himself up, hence why he placed his hand onto ravens shoulder

|| shes gonna need to grab him along 😭
Cathy
If we can't get you that easily lemme do it this way ***He throws a little sliver hand dagger toward Qaysars back***
Lawrence
Qaysar!! ***She knows he is unable to move so she jumps infront and shoots an arrow towards him, the dagger hits her right in the left leg, the arrows hits him in the head, Raven falls to the ground***
Carl
|| now time to make Qaysar move by the power of love!
Nathan
**He looks back, seeing the dagger that just hit her leg, his eyes suddenly widen, the feeling in the air suddenly changed, he motioned his hand out, calling for his magic combat stick, which landed perfectly onto his back in place**

**He aggressively pulls the dagger Ilya had placed through his right hand and throws it directly at the guard's head, in such a perfect motion that it sliced through the guard's neck, giving Qaysar a great amount of satisfaction as he watched the guard's head fall down to the ground**

**A bloodshed follows direcrtly after, with guards falling to the ground, bleeding, begging him for mercy, but their biggest mistake was that tiny dagger that hit Raven in her left leg**

**He quickly proceeds to somewhat tend to Raven's wound, quickly removing the dagger, he rips out a part of his shirt and wraps it tightly around Raven's left leg where the wound is to help slow down the bleeding**

**He grabs out his twin sickles, standing directly in the middle of the road, killing guard after guard, making way for Knox and the others to go after Deckard and Ilya**
Lawrence
Qaysar, Ilya is running away, we need to get him! ***Points weakly at him running away***
Marvin
|| What happened :D

|| I was asleep but alr
Kathleen
**He saw the humans escape thanks to Raven and started running, his priority was to get Deckard and protect him, he wouldnt fight if he knew it was pointless, he wanted both of them to survive so reaching him was the solution**
Lupe
**Having her hands set free was all she needed, the moment Argon was also set free she decided to try one more time what she could never achieve when morphing. She looked at Knox and the rest, feeling alive for the very first time since they were captured. She then closed her eyes while standing in the middle of the execution plank when her body morphed into a masive creature, she wasnt as big as Rozg or Moonstone but was big enough to cause panic and fear. Coral had turn into a dragon, of course she wasnt able to shoot fire but destroying everything was her main purpose, she looked at Deckard, he was insignicantly small compared to her now, she looked like if she had lost her fear against him... She looked just like the Shapeshifter that scarred Deckard when he was a child. She roared and opened a hole on the ground with her strenght.**
Lawrence
***Her wound continues bleeding, the shirt is all soaked in blood*** Qaysar, go on, I can take care of this myself, I hope...
Nathan
No! I won't risk losing you.
**He grabs another cloth, this time a bigger one, wrapping it tightly around raven's legs, to put a constraint on the bleeding, slowing it down significantly**
This should do for now, but you have to get to a doctor. It looks like there's more blood than there actually is, some of that is mine- from my hand. 

Get to a doctor! **He looks away and starts charging forward at guards**

Knox, Coral, Get Deckard! I'll handle Ilya myself.
Marvin
|| Im abt to go to class so 😭 it might take a bit
Hong
|| RELATIONSHIP GOALS <3

|| Knox is still bound lol
Richard
**The King stands, amidst the fire and the rubble, amidst disorder and destruction. This is his legacy. What every poisonous word and broken sweat, every gash he'd ever laid and received, has led to. How did it come to this... Wasn't it just yesterday, when he was picking lilacs by the bog? He could still hear the distant rumble of a midsummer storm approaching Kahlo, that day the shapeshifter was brought to her knees in the palace. And now he was staring her down again. All alone.**

**He gasps.** Ilya! Are you hurt? What's happening?
Kathleen
**From under his clothes he throws a potion in front of Coral, setting a small trail of fire** My lord..! **He grabs Deckard, moving him away of the dragon, he had minor injuries** We need to get out of here my lord, I need you safe..!
Lupe
**She roars harder while moving her wings and stepping back, avoiding to anyone to get closer where they were, she was looking for Knox as well**
Hong
|| I'll finish this bit
Richard
**He glares at the scene, his fist shaking, inhaling the falling ash. No... No, this wasn't right! This was *His* Kingdom, and he wasn't about to let it all slip away under his hands. That innocent elf on the midsummer bog was gone.**

Ilya, I am the *King,* And I *Can't* Lose this. **I** Am a **GOD** Amongst these prisoners!

**Light is swirling around him, he snatches a blade and swiftly runs to the gallows, dodging the falling walls and fire sent his way. He seizes Knox by his hair and holds the blade to his neck, letting out a laugh.**
Nancy
**He gasps for air, unable to even look at Deckard. He struggles but his wounds have left him completely paralyzed.**
Richard
**He glares at Coral, nothing but a mad look in his eyes.** KILL ME! And SEE what happens to your LOVER! **Laughing righteously, he snaps his fingers and the sparks of beautiful death fly off right, hardly an inch from Knox's throat. A threat. The King smirks.**
Hong
|| Ight, don't do anything while I'm gone, I need to see this
Angela
|| waiting for this to go down then Ilya and qaysar rematch?!
Lupe
**She quickly opened her jaw, letting a horrendous roar come out of it.** ... **She looked at Knox, then at Deckard, she hit the ground with her enormous claw making it tremble as she felt her heart race with no control.**
Harry
**A big cloud of dirt spread as the Earth shakes, at the same time Argon is being attacked by some guards and crying for help. As soon as the dirt faded away, Deckard could see Ilya under Coral's claw, the man was groaning in pain as she pressed**
Nathan
**He turns around as he heard Argon's cry for help, almost rushing to go help the dragon, but he paused for a moment**
Am I really gonna go help a- dragon...?
**He thinks about it for a second or two, watching as poor Argon was struggling against the guards, he quickly rushes towards the argon and the guards, slicing each guard, one by one, guard after guard, head chop after head chop, feeling the most alive he has ever felt since at least 4 years ago**
Richard
ILYA. **He inserts the dagger deep into Knox's neck, causing a steady stream of blood, the life of the hunter now dribbling away into a mere puddle. Tears prick the prince's eyes as he stares at Coral's claw.** BEAST! You will him go unscathed or I will *Make* You watch the very last person who loves you die, *Right here,* And right now.
Nancy
**He tries to breathe (tw: graphic description) ||but he coughs, vomiting blood onto the wooden planks instead. He's drowning... Right before her eyes.|| He gulps and shouts.** DO IT CORAL, END HIM!
Lupe
**In a quick move she kicked Ilya against a wall, hard enough to make him cough blood and scream in pain, grabbing Deckard with her jaw, violently pulling him away from Knox and throwing him against another wall, covering the red haired man with her body, her tail still was holding Ilya against the wall, pressing him and compressing his chest even harder.**
Kathleen
**He was trying to push the tail back, but felt more worried about Deckard, trying to look at the exit of the execution area** M-My lord..! L-Leave...!
Christie
**He looked at Qaysar, jumping towards him and avoiding a guard from stabbing him with a spear. The dragon protected Qaysar as it roared in pain, calling for the one and only he could rely on: Rozgdruit**
Nathan
**He looks towards Knox and Coral, after ensuring Argon would be ok on his own for now, he listens closely to Ilya's words, rushing towards the exit of the execution area, he slashes his twin sickles through some trees, causing their logs to drop down right in the exit area, blocking it off**
Running away from a fight is not an option. **He says in Ilya's direction, as he walks towards him and makes it impossible for him to escape Coral's grip on him**
Marvin
|| Not even thanking the poor dragon 😭
Angela
|| well he wants to grab ilya and smash him onto the ground first

|| then he'll thank coral
Marvin
|| ...I meant Argon
Angela
|| HE'LL THANK THEM ALL IN A MIN
Michael
**The titanous dragon snaps from his fiery rampage at the sound of Argon's call. He abandons the guards he was fighting and lets out a deafening roar, swooping down to shield the black dragon.**
Richard
**He coughs violently from all the ash and the impact on his lungs, but he seems relieved that Ilya survived.** I-I won't leave without you, Ilya! **He makes a break for Ilya, forgetting the dagger altogether.**
Nancy
**From the corner of his vision, he sees Coral and mouths, too weak to be heard. "Thank you."**
Lupe
**She was entering into a rampage of anger and destruction and couldn't distinguish who was an ally and who was an enemy, apart from Knox she was attacking whoever could get closer to Knox. She even pushed Qaysar a bit further from Ilya, the boy with pink eyes seemed confused through all the ashes and fire, it was hard to find him as well. **
Kathleen
**He coughs blood before grabbing some random guard and trying to use him as a cover up before stone and fire started raining, moving his hand to his face for a second and throwing dirt away.**
Christie
**Along with Rozg, Argon was trying to help and started crushing walls and weapons, making it hard to even take a look on where was anyone around.**
Harry
**As the ashes and debris stopped being on the way, Ilya could be seen standing while holding his side, a few meters away from Qaysar and Deckard, he seemed scared as stepping back slowly, looking around as if he didn't know where to go**
Kathleen
W-What...!?.. **He looked at Qaysar with fear on his eyes, limbs shaking as he showed intentions to run away, panting and sobbing. All that could be seen in his eyes was pain and fear** N-No wait..!
Richard
**He calls out sharply through the utter destruction, running towards his most loyal advisor.** ILYA!

**Suddenly, the red storm above grows, hints of bright blue jumping between the clouds of envy. The light envelops the entire ground, giving everything a blue hue as a whirlwind swirls above... *CRACK!* A roar fills the air and Rozgdruit, the mighty dragon, crashes to the ground with sparks of electricity flying around him.**

**He reaches Ilya, grasping onto his cloak tightly as if he was scared to let go again. A second bolt of thunder hits the dragon, burning a hole through his wing, then a third.**

**The king cries desperately.** Ilya! *Ilya!*
Kathleen
I.. **He looked at Deckard, suddenly grabbing him and kissing him deeply, then pushing him away to avoid being damaged by Qaysar. It was meant to be, he would die for the king.**
Nathan
**He looks up at Coral**
I'll take it from here, thanks.
**He runs at Ilya and grabs him, smashing him through the ground**
How about a taste of your own medicine, except... Slightly more, "Edgy", we'll say.
**He shows a frightening smile, one he has never shown ever before, he was out for blood, he grabs out a long and wide shining sword, (tw: graphic description) ||smashing it through Ilya's hand just like Ilya smashed a dagger through his, stepping down on it, making it go through Ilya's hand down an inch into the ground, causing Ilya to be held in place by it||**
There goes leaving in one piece. **He laughs like a maniac who loves the sight of blood**
Your biggest mistake was killing a good-hearted, *Innocent* Woman. 
**He says aggressively as he (tw: graphic description) ||proceeds to smash his boot directly onto Ilya's head, feeling as his skull was getting crushed inside, watching as blood splattered out of his mouth||**
There goes leaving here alive at all. 
**He grabs out his secondary flintlock, pointing it directly at Ilya's head, this time seeing straight, resting his left arm onto the sword that's holding Ilya in place through his hand, he looks towards Deckard, proceeding to mock him**
Give up now! Or "SEE what happens to your LOVER!"

I said, give. Up.
**He loads up his flintlock, it was ready now, he only needed to pull the trigger, and Ilya's head would (tw: graphic description) || splatter into a million pieces all over the ground||**
Kathleen
**He screams in agony and pain, trying to fight Qaysar without a chance, succumbing to death slowly, it was just a matter of minutes for him to die**
Richard
**He yells, ugly tears streaming from his face.** NO!

**Suddenly he stops and looks down. His hand is covered with blood. *Royal blood.* An arrow... Straight in the center of his heart.**
Nancy
**A bow he picked off a lifeless guard rolls out of his hand. He glares at Deckard from the gallows, the flames in his eyes saying all. Then he collapses, seeping red into the already bloody planks.**
Marvin
|| OMG HE USED A BOW
Angela
|| CANT BELIEVE CORALS LESSON WORKED 😭
Richard
**He looks down, his tears mixing with the crimson on his hands. It was too late for the young elf. For once he's silent.**
Lupe
**She grabbed Deckard's body and slammed him right besides Ilya's corpse, she pierces the royal body with her claws to strike the final movement, the king was finally dead.** ... **All she could do after that was morph back into normal, falling a few inches away from Knox, softly dragging herself towards Knox just to hug his damaged body**
Marvin
|| WE DID IT PEOPLE 👏
Hong
|| JUSTICE HAS BEEN BROUGHT TO KAHLO
Nathan
**He watches as Ilya becomes silent, grabbing out his sword from his hand, admiring the sword and what it has been used for on this very day, he always knew he'd only use it for a special fight, it has served its purpose, he thinks to himself: "*I have to put this sword in this very condition up on a wall*"**

**He rushes over to knox**
Come on, let's get him to a doctor.
Michael
**He cries out, trying to find Argon through the settling dust.**
Lupe
**She looks at Qaysar and nods, shakily lifting Knox with all the care she could have, she didn't want him to get more hurt.** ...I'll cary him, guide me...
Christie
**He was under a debris, hardly breathing but alive, softly crying because he thought Rozg was dead**
Nathan
**He helps Coral get Knox to a doctor, then rushes back to carry Raven to the same doctor because of her wound in her left leg**
Nancy
**He coughs gently but his lungs are still hoarse. He holds onto Coral tightly.** We... We're alive Corrie...

**He looks up at Rozg.** Once again, not dead yet... **He tries to smile, wincing from the pain.**
Michael
**He rushes over to Argon and lifts the debris off the small dragon, caressing him and weeping.**
Lupe
**She held her forehead into his, sobbing and smiling while listening to him** *Talk to me, Knox. I need to hear your voice...* **She said while whispering and placing him for the doctors to help**
Nancy
**Touching their hands together gently, not holding back the tears anymore.** *You were amazing Corrie. As beautiful as the day I fell in love with you.*
Nathan
**He stood out in the open, breathing the air, glad that in mere days he will be a free man, but sad that his mother couldn't be the first to find out**
Nancy
**He coughs softly, not wanting to lose more blood. He avoids Qaysar's eyes.** Go fetch her body... She'll get a proper funeral.
Marvin
ARGON: **He looked weak but could survive, as slow as he could be he stood up and shakily embraced Rozg, the teen dragon was hardly okay but could find comfort on hugging his true family**

CORAL: **She giggles, slowly losing all the adrenaline that flowed on her body, she started fainting while holding Knox's hand but fought the urge to do so, she didn't want to stop looking at him**
Hong
|| L hyun's brackets
Nancy
**He wipes a tear from her eye and smiles.** I love you Coral, today, tomorrow, and forever. You've stolen my heart... And now you're stuck with me. **He coughs a little.** Do you still want to reach freedom together?
Lupe
Always... **She softly nuzzles his hand, closing her eyes and softly wagging her tail** I'll rest once you're okay and safe...
Nathan
**He had a puzzled expression, questioning how knox could figure out such a thought**
Thanks-
**He rushes to the execution area, grabbing his mother's body, as his tears fell down onto her, and he buries her in one of the best burial areas, and goes back to where Knox is**
It's done-
