“A Queen is supposed to be merciful.” The golden knight said to dark queen sitting tall on the throne.

“Ha!” The Queen scoffed. “In this world, being Queen means blood.” A smile spread across her lips.

“Vega. Please listen to me.” The knight pleaded. “We’re friends, and as your friend I’m asking you do not do this.”

“This is way you never bacame a Queen. You were always to worried about the others around you when you could have worried about yourself and gotten rewarded. But now you’re going to suffer.” The knight stood tall, unfazed by Vega’s words.

“You will never be the true Queen Vega. Not as long as I live.” The knight declared.

“I’ll guve you one last chance Aliza. Surrender now.” Vega softened for a sigle moment. “Please.” She whispered her eyes pleading.

“You are not who I thought you were Vega. The power that you seek wont come to you this way. I will never join a tyrant.” Aliza said boldly.

Vega tilted her head to the guards surrounding the throne room, and flicked it towards Aliza.

“I’m sorry it must be this way.” Vega said as the guards grabbed Aliza by the arms and dragged her away.

“It didn’t have to be.” Aliza said with one last look if hope. The door closed with a loud bang.

Once Aliza was taken far enough away from the throne room, she jumped upward, surprising the guards that held her hostage. They loosened their grip for just a second. That was all she needed. Aliza raced out of the palice as fast as she could. Vega would search for her, and Aliza knew it. She was only saddened that she couldnt save her friend.

Vega sat on her throne filled with pride.

“Know that she is delt with, I can begin.”

Aliza’s last words rung through her head.

‘It didn’t have to be’

“In this world, being Queen means blood. You cant be afraid to shed it.” Vega told herself. Aliza wasnt with her so she was the enemy. A fallen star.
