CHAPTER 10: Stabs of Truth

"Why don't you put your blood in there?" He stands out bravely.

"My dear son, we all know your mother created the force field long before I became her husband." He looks at the queen. "Right, Falica?"

"Daròn, son..." she tries to smile, "Your father is right, I'm the one who did this, and now I have to fix it."

"Mother. Don't you see there's something wrong in all this? Don't you see he has been using you all this time? He never loved you, and you never loved him! He is -"

"That's enough, son!" The king shouts, while the queen bursts out in tears quietly.

"Don't call me that!" Daròn demands.

The king winks his eye to the guards and they take the queen inside in a very, very dark cave.

"You can't do this." Daròn cries.

Very emotionlessly, the king looks above at the gigantic whole connecting the room with the sky. Something like a window but on the ceiling. 
Daròn looks at him in question, and when the king looks back at him, Daròn asks:

"Why are you checking the time?"

"Because it's your bed time."

Daròn's expression turns from confused to doomed. He forgets.

24 hours passed. That explains why he hadn't fogotten, until now. Now I'm so alone.

Heather looks around. "Didn't you see what he did?" Nobody answers. They don't know what to think of. I guess I'll have to show them, then.

Heather gets in the center, and the first thing to encounter is the king's surprised face for seeing her. But that doesn't scare her. She just turns to the people.

"Why are you all just standing there? He erased your brother's memories! Aren't you going to do something?"

They all just stand there, looking at each other. Heather freaks out by their ignorance and she goes closer to a woman standing beside her and waves her hands in front of her face.

"Bitch, are you hypnotised? Why aren't you looking at me?"

"The king knows what he's doing." She answers expessionless as she was.

"No. Stop leaving things as they are. Open your damn eyes, people! He is a fucking human! Look!" And I shoot him. I shoot him with an inboo.

Cut! This is the part where you all -me included- think to ourselves: 'Finally. Now his identity will be uncovered and everyone will see that he is a human!'

Well, guess what. We are all wrong. This jerk doesn't fall, the inboo doesn't parallyze him. Why the hell doen't it parallyze him? Ah! I'm done. I can't do this anymore. This shit is getting weirer and weirder...He is human! I know it! He is...human.
Shit. Heather? Don't look behind you.

Aaand she looks behind. Right on top of the crystals. Blood. Blood dripping on top of them. The heart. The queen's heart. It has been stabbed. The very next thing to happen is Nyla's scream braking the souls of every person standing in there. The king...he is...unbreakable now.

He turns to Heather, and with a very powerful stare, he says:

"Someone failed the mission." And he smiles. With a move of his hands, suddenly the earth starts moving, and everyone gets trapped in cages.

Don't ask me, I don't know where the cages came from.

Heather, shut up. You're to busy trying to beat the king and save the world.
