~Chapter 1: The Queen Falls~
There was a formidable kingdom below the earth in a world only known as the Underworld, much like our own, but in some ways incredibly different, the ground is red with blood and the sky is the forever black underside of the world's crust...no stars will ever shine, nor will there be a sun. The people who live there are also different...some say they aren't even people...they are demons.
In the centre of this kingdom lies a formidable, fearsome dark castle, it has four towers, each emitting a blue flame, however, these flames were no longer burning and the lâu đài was no longer formidable, holes had been blown into it and demons poured inside, demanding to see this queen. Amidst all this chaos, a youthful, beautiful Queen sat on her throne, legs crossed and a gentle, faded smile on her face, her silvery hair falling gracefully over her shoulders. She looked around, her unearthly cat-like eyes sparkling in the darkness
"My kingdom is falling apart, Aria," she đã đưa ý kiến with a voice like velvet "I fear I shall not see tomorrow,"
"Do not speak like that, my queen," a blue-haired woman spoke, standing bởi her side "I shall protect bạn through this adversity, my Queen," she stood proud in her navy blue uniform, lined with gold, one blue-green eye analysing the surrounding area, the other one covered with a white eye-patch
"You're the only servant left, Aria...please...go, for your own saf-" the Queen started
"No, my queen, I shall stay bởi your side!" Aria replied, hurriedly adding "F-Forgive my rudeness," the Queen let out a light chuckle
"You are forgiven, but I ask of bạn one thêm thing, Aria, do not call me your Queen anymore..." she said, smiling
"Then what do I address bạn as?" Aria inquired
"...Lyssa, just call me Lyssa," the Queen smiled wider
"As bạn wish, Lyssa," Aria replied, smiling.
Suddenly, the door to the ngôi vua, ngai vàng room burst open and masses of demons erupted into the room, shouting and screaming curses, Aria unsheathed her sword, but Lyssa stopped her
"WHERE IS YOUR SON?!" A young male demon demanded
"He has been banished already, is that not enough for you?!" Lyssa hissed, standing up, her dress already in tatters, the male demon smirked
"Not yet," he growled and signalled to his demon army. They all burst forth and grabbed Lyssa’s arms and leg, pushing her head down and making her kneel. The male demon stepped phía trước, chuyển tiếp and yanked the crown from Lyssa’s head, kicking her in the face as he did so. Lyssa showed no emotion, nor any expression of pain, he kicked her again, this time in the stomach
“Come on, cry, bạn bitch! Whore! This’ll teach bạn to give birth to an impure demon, infecting the royal bloodline!” he growled, Lyssa remained emotionless, staring at the ground
“I shall not yield,” she whispered, the demon grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him
“Say that again, bitch!” he bellowed
“I SHALL NOT YIELD!” she bellowed in return, that was it, the demon snapped and ripped her dress away from her, stripping her of all dignity, he then picked her up and threw her out of the door into the cold, Aria ran after her, pushing past the crowd. The demon smirked and looked towards his ‘audience’ who all had expectant faces. He flung his arms wide and threw his head back
“THE Queen HAS FALLEN!” he laughed manically “BOW TO YOUR NEW KING!” he sat back on the ngôi vua, ngai vàng and smirked wider as his new subjects bowed to him.
Meanwhile, Aria picked the now unconscious Lyssa, wrapping her in her uniform áo, áo khoác and kissing her forehead
“I’ll keep bạn safe, Lyssa,” she whispered and walked off towards her house, the citizens who hadn’t joined the riot stared at the two of them, whispering amongst themselves. Aria tried her best to ignore them, so desperately wanting to slay them all for betraying their queen. She opened the door to the house with her shoulder and laid Lyssa on the sofa, putting a blanket over her. She sat opposite her and waited for her to wake up.
