''My dear children, I'm glade you made it...'' 

Nova next to Emperor Hakutoku groaned in pain ''Oh look, she's still alive'' Gyokuen dug her heal into Nova back ''Arg'' Nova reached out form anything she could get her hands on ''What have you done!?'' 

''What have I done?'' Gyokuen giggled holding her sword out ''What you planed to do to me. I know what you naughty children where up too. You can't hid anything form your mother'' Nova's body whacked under Gyokuen foot

Hakuyuu faced showed his disbelief. Gyokuen giggled ''Today. The Royal Prince's die, with the future Empress and Emperor Hakutoku. In Great Fire, that swallowed the Kou Palace whole. Empress Gyokuen is forced to marry Koutoku the know crowned Emperor. To care for her only child'' Gyokuen ticked her tongue walking down the stars

''Fitting isn't it? I think it plays out perfectly'' ''Kouen will stop you!'' Gyokuen rang her finger up Mei throat ''Oh dear girl. Kouen and his father planed all of this. They even helped to blanded the smell oil around the palace, so the Fanalis wouldn't know'' 

Mudads started too feel a little tug at his brain ''Koumei found the drug to paralyse them. I would think it'll start to take effort on you right now'' Mudads breathing slowed down, his eyes dropping

''You lying bitch!'' Hakuren swang his sword towards her stomach. She twisted the sword at out his hands ''You won't be fighting me dear boy'' Gyokuen opened her arms up. Men dressed in caps dropped down form the roof

''Mother?'' Hakuryuu stood at the door scared. He looked at his father and nova, before his brothers ''Hakuryuu!'' Royo ran towards him ''Get down'' A man behind him, held his sword up. ready to bring down on his little neck

''No!'' ''Hakuryuu!'' Gyokuen watched with a wide smile. Nova grabbed off the floor, tripping down the stars. Tumbling next to Gyokuen. She looked down t her confused before, she face filled with shock. Nova hit the cannel out of her hand. Letting the oil on the floor. 

Her nails ripped off her skin, when she drag them into the wood. Reaching out to Hakuryuu. Royo grabbed the man's elbow with her string, trying to make him miss. Nova dragged her body over Hakuryuu. The sword met their skin, ripping a large gash in there backs. 

The scar left after that, they would hold for years after. If they lived. Gyokuen blocked Hakuyuu attack, before disbarring into dust ''Where she go!- arh!'' Hakuren blocked. Twisting around a man, cutting his throat. He turned into a small black doll

Fighting off the others, Mudads fell face first into the wood ''Mudads! This is no time to take a nap!'' Mei shoved his back. Royo guarded the four on the floor ''Nova!'' ''On it!'' Nova let go of Hakuryuu, running into the hot battle

Snapping necks, and breaking legs she grabbed her chest. A deep pain coming through her ''OWw'' ''Watch out'' Hakuyuu stuck his sword out, above her back. Blocking the spear coming down. She twisting around, kicking his knees the wrong way. Hakuyuu moved his sword away to fight others. She spun mid air, kicking his face to th side. Breaking his neck

''Ohh'' Nova felt the drooze pull her again. Falling face first like Mudads, she couldn't fell her limbs ''Shit'' Royo kicked two men back, wrapping a wire around Nova ankle. Dragging her over ''Mei get out of here!'' Mei picked Hakuryuu up, running to the door. Ripping it open, fire grabbed her hair and clothes. It was fair more powerful out there than in here

''Shit... I can't. Fire's out there too'' ''Run through it!'' ''We'll die two steps in!'' 

Watching the fire take the palace, Kouemi's jaw hit the floor. It only started small, until it erupted. Maids rushed out screaming. Some dresses caught with the flames. Soldiers scrambled to put the flire out.
