Marvin
|| Alr, let's do this
Harry
**The whole crew landed next to some forests and big bushes where Rozg, Moonstone and Argon could wait to be unnoticed, Coral looked at everyone and sighed**
Lupe
This will be dangerous, do not get caught, alright? Be as careful as you can be...
Lawrence
Qaysar, you've been idly quite, that doesn't seem like you, are you okay? ***She asks with a worried look***
Nathan
**His mind was off wondering about something, to the point where he didn't even hear her at first**
Huh? Yeah, I'm fine. Don't worry about me.
Lupe
...It's beter if y'all say something special to each other or... I don't know, just in case. **She mentions softly, hoping for Knox to reach her as well**
Nancy
**He glares.** Stay focused. We can't afford *Any* Loses.
Nathan
**He stares at coral as if she said something utterly stupid**
Then don't die.
Nancy
**He turns to Coral.** A soldier does not have enough time before his last breathe and his goodbye. Neither do we. Let's go before the sun sets.
Lupe
**She feels anger inside, then sighs with her eyes closed, saying goodbye to Argon and holding the mask. She turns into Ilya, looking at Knox's eyes and the wearing the mask to hide her eyes** ...I'll go first.
Nancy
**He nods.** I'll take a different route. We'll rendezvous in the North wing.
Lupe
While the rest... Have fun with Ilya, already know how he looks. **She moves away to the main entrance of the palace, no guards seem bothered by her presence, she goes immediately towards the office, she received the indications from Knox before they fought.**

... **She knocks on the door and says, with Ilya's voice** ...My lord, may I come in?
Richard
**There's a small chuckle from inside the office.** A surprise visit? Enlighten me.
Angela
|| corals reaction when Deckard tried making out with her: 🙀😾
Marvin
|| SHE'S GONNA BE TERRIFIED.
Lupe
**Opens the door and goes inside, softly bowing and not approaching his desk** I was told by some guards about suspicious behavior from the east of our lands, some people are hesitant to the new changes in Kahlo.
Richard
**The king's appearance is quite unexpected... Of course everyone knew the young elf was vicious and ruled with an iron fist. But he seemed more comfortable in his military outfit than he ever could wearing the bloodstained robes of a monarch. Rather... Innocent looking.**

**He pushes aside a stack of papers, raising an eye at her.** Never mind the people. You're not smiling like you usually are, is there something wrong? Is there a way your divine owner can help?~
Lupe
**She felt her heart stopping** *(What does he mean by owner...?)* **She thinks, looking at Deckard and letting a vague laugh escape, almost nervously** What do you mean, my lord...? My apologies if my behavior seems altered, I feel rather... Tired.
Marvin
|| Ive been on 10 dif rps before, this is easy uvu
Richard
**He pushes his chair out and pats his lap as if she were a puppy.** Up here, my most loved servant. *You can tell me all about the news as I help you out with that?~*
Lupe
I... **She laughs again, thinking its a joke, feeling terror on her chest and looking at the ground** No, my lord, I don't with to burden you while doing all this work. Rather I desire helping you with the papers
Angela
|| is this where Deckard realizes it's not Ilya 👀👀👀
Marvin
|| Dont worry abt it
Richard
**He stands and pushes her up against a wall.** *Aww haven't you burdened me enough Ilya?* With your constant whipping of yourself and yet how badly you still go after me.

**He lifts her chin.** *Why don't you help your king relieve some stress?~* You came all this way for me after all.
Hong
|| he's going to have a heart attack when he realizes it's not him <3
Marvin
|| Coral is having it rn
Angela
|| coral is gonna lose her mind 😭
Lupe
**She gasps an looks down at Deckard, swallowing hard and placing her hands on the wall** My lord..! **In her mind she's not understanding a single word from his mouth** *(What's going on...!? Why is he talking like that!? Knox where the fuck are you...!?)* **Coughs and tries to look away, sweating under the mask** There's no need to be this aggressive, your... Your majesty..
Hong
**There are faint crashing sounds in the hall, but Deckard is so enthralled he doesn't even notice.**
Richard
Aggressive? **He laughs.** But you like it. You're not usually this hesitant, Ilya, *I like this smell of fear you give off~*

**Gently, he takes her mask off and he takes a step back when a grey eye stares back at him. The mask falls to the ground.**
Nancy
**The office door slams open as he rushes in, his sleeves and hair drenched in a coppery red liquid. He's holding his pike at Deckard's throat, dripping onto the floor, without a single word.**
Lupe
**She couldn't help it anymore but morph back to normal, looking terrified and standing paralyzed at Deckard** ..I... I... I... **She's facing the one who has tried to hurt her since all of this started for the very first time.**
Richard
**Suddenly white light radiates from him and before Knox can sink the pike in, the couple are on the floor with severe burns, spikes of agony running ripping up their veins. The smell of smoke and burnt flesh stinks up the whole room.**

**He's silent, still recovering from the surprise.**

**He looks at his own fist, then he gives a self-satisfied smirk at the two, not a single scratch on him.**

My my, isn't a beautiful day to be king. **He kicks Knox's face, making him spit blood.** You taught me something valuable all those years after all. What was it... Attack first and think later? My *Dear* Mentor.
Nancy
**He's gasping for air, his limbs entirely paralyzed. A cold sweat runs down his spine. He looks over at Coral.**
Richard
OH you *PATHETIC* Creatures! As if you could kill the *KING!* **He laughs hysterically and steps on Coral's head. He has the Devil's grin.** And now the last shapeshifter is at my feet.
Lupe
**She gasps in pain, feeling the burnt inside her body, she weakly speaks** ..M-m... M-mentor...? **She tried to move her head with her ears all the way down, shaking and sobbing**
Richard
**He cocks his head, amused.** So Feuerborn never told you. Out of his sheer *Devotion* To me, he taught me everything he knew for years on end. Isn't that right? And you *Never* Knew! **He laughs, clutching his sides and pushing harder on her head.**
Nancy
**He's grimacing with fists clenched, but unable to resist the pain. He looks at Coral weakly, as if to say "I'm sorry."**
Lupe
**She is crying because of the pain and this sudden truth, trying to morph into something else or move away her head** ..N-nno... H...He... Did not...
Richard
**He takes his shoe off and bends his knees, once more lifting Coral's chin.** *Oh,* Wouldn't you love to believe it. **Where his hand touches her, he sends another burning sensation down her neck and laughs.**

I'll admit, you found out a dirty little secret of mine, *Ilya*. And that just can't do. *For your crimes against Kahlo, all righteous creations of nature, and the King himself, you will be sentenced to death.*
Nancy
**Through utter agony.** NO!

**His lungs seem to collapse on themselves. He's coughing red specks onto the floor, convulsing and tears pricking his eyes, unable to catch a breath.**
Lupe
**She screams harder and her ears twitch, she's crying non-stop while trying to move herself away** N-no... Nnno... No... No... **She looks at Knox and screams horrified** M-MaKE IT STOP..!
Kathleen
**He bursts into the room, looking at Deckard then at the ground** My lord...! **His forearm is bleeding same as his clothes unorganized**
Richard
**He looks at the two in a rather bored manner. As Ilya arrives, he immediately stands and grabs his arm.**

**Enraged.** Wh-what happened?! Who is the cause of all this!

**He glares at the couple on the floor, picking up Knox's pike.**
Kathleen
**Huffs in pain because of the wound in his forearm, then at Deckard, placing a hand on his cheek** Al Qaysar, Raven and your brother, I've knocked them down but... But he caught me off guard, I'm deeply sorry my lord... **He looks disgusted at the couple on thr ground, especially at Coral** ...They planned this...
Marvin
|| Kixu has been typing for ten minutes, and Im scared
Richard
**He grips the handle of the pike so hard it looks like it's about to snap.**

AND THEY WILL SUFFER FOR IT!

**He smashes the huge blade into Knox's shoulder, dislocating it as sparks of his own electricity fly off.**
Nancy
**(tw: gore)** ||**He screams as the inside of his shoulder burns, the skin melting off and flesh turning black. A pool of boiling blood collects around his upper body. Tears evaporate before they hit the floor, his entire body twitching from the shock.**||
Richard
**He glares at the man he once looked up to and spits on the growing, searing hole.** Oh shut up. That was nothing compared to what your *Filthy shapeshifter* Love will be put through next. **He kicks Knox into the wall, leaving a forceful splatter of blood all over.**

**He looks at Ilya.** You did good. I'll get the stage set for the executions. I want *Every* Citizen in Kahlo to witness it. JUSTICE will be brought to those who betray Kahlo, and my EMPIRE will be born from their graves.

**He gives the pike to Ilya.** Do to the shapeshifter *Twice* The damage that I did to Feuerborn, then get the guards to lock them up with our new prisoners when you're done. I'll check on your work when I'm back. **He pecks Ilya on the lips, then leaves with the door hanging open so those passing by can hear the screams...**
Hong
|| everybody gangsta until kixu uses spoilers
Marvin
|| Oh now I get to torture Coral 🥰
Angela
|| I love how we all made our characters enter a fight where we know we have to make them lose 👍
Lupe
**She tries to stand up and fight until Ilya grabs her by the hair and smiling places his dagger on her neck, making her face Knox**

K... Knox... **She's still in shock, thinking her lover is dead while being held by Ilya, her body is shaking as she looks at the wound on Knox's shoulder, paralyzed, shaking from panic** L-let... Him go... Just kill me...
Kathleen
Killing you would be easy and an act of mercy... **He pulls her hair harder and looks at Knox** Oi! Wake up, knight in shining armor. This little plot of yours seems to have went downhill, huh?~ What if I do this?~ (Tw: self harm and gore) || **He makes Coral to grab the dragger, pulling her sleeve up and moving her hand. She starts crying in pain as he makes her cut horizontal lines on her left wrist, circling all the way on her skin but not deep enough to be deadly, she makes her draw numerous marks on her skin while laughing and looking at both of them then piercing Coral's lower side with the pike and harshly pulling it away, leaving a wide open wound on her waist**|| How does it feel, scunk? You should've give up years ago. I'll make sure he looks at your death before facing his own. ||**Pierces one of her ears and then kicks her spine, throwing the dagger away and finally cleaning his hands** || The guards will take you to your new home..~ until the executions start..~
Hong
|| AAAAAAAAAAA ILYA IS A FUCKING BITCH
Marvin
|| The things ive been through have taught me this HAHAHAHA
Angela
|| the things I've been through have taught me dark stuff but mental stuff not physical, I only think of physical stuff like that when it comes to people who deserve execution
