"It's only been five hours that I've agreed to it, how do you know this is the right time?" Eric asked who was astonished to see Erasmus already in front of him.

"You forgot I was Garde. I'm just asking the trees to know your information, especially the trees you always attack with arrows."

They always argue. Once again we gathered in my room, only this place can be closed. If we meet outside the palace, there will definitely be witches watching and listening to us.

"Like the original plan, destroy the two elements of the Queen's power."

"Two? Isn't three?" Erasmus asked.

"Two. I know all about the Queen, just follow!" Eric replied with a brush.

"Destroy the diamond in the Queen's crown and the diamond in her wand. Problem solved." A pretty unsatisfactory explanation.

"That's all?" My toot. Eric nodded.

"When all the witches are unconscious, they will lose their powers and their memories. Everything that becomes dust, free it to the high seas. However, the unconscious let them be free on earth. I asked that the portal be passed by and leave Dark Point. If we stay at Dark Point, you'll know it won't be safe for Kangel and Wiender."

"Should we save the prisoners first?" My toot.

"No, it's too suspicious." Erasmus Reply.

"True, the impact people associated with prisoners will be in danger." Eric agreed.

"Tonight we begin." Take me with enthusiasm.

...

I walked into my mother's room. To step like nothing. Trying to keep up and relax. All the guards and servants behaved as usual, respectful and friendly to me.

Just standing at the door, the palace guards had opened the door for me without asking the Queen for consideration.

"Hey, why son?" Ask Queen. I immediately sat on the sofa. The queen sat in front of me.

"Want to tell stories." My answer.

My eyes surrounded this room, trying to find the crown and the staff.

"Can't be tomorrow? It's midnight, you have to sleep." He said with worry.

I also got the wand right next to the queen's bed.

"You know, right now I'm really worried about you." Sincerely said.

"I'm glad that I can still meet my mother and so relieved to know that my mother is looking for me. I'm also happy if he lives a decent life. But-"

"But?" The reply.

"This is what's been worrying me all along. I'm afraid that my mother would do something wrong even evil like Renata."

The queen took a glass of milk that a lady had just brought her. He smiled at me, right after I told him all my heart.

"The diamonds aren't evil, son. He did that for a reason. He's carrying out his brother's orders to take care of you. I know if what he's doing is right for him." The reply.

"Not keeping up, he's torturing me." I reject my mother's opinion.

"intriguing. We have a very different point of view. You remind me of your father. For you he did something wrong, but not for Renata and me. In the end you have to conclude that crimes are committed for a reason."

"There is no reason to commit a crime. We can make mistakes, but they are very different from evil." I rejected my mother's opinion again.

"Why can't you accept that, son? I can accept the crime you're doing right now." My mother's words made me shut up.

"You want to kill me, don't you?" He asks.

"No." Reply sure. I really don't want to kill him.

The queen immediately stepped over to her bed. He sat on his bed and immediately put on the crown and put on his cane.

"What are you doing?" My toot.

"much. Prove my words, accept your reasons for doing evil and welcome your friend."

"I just want you to not do anything bad."

"Is it true to kill your mother? I really love you sincerely." This time he looks angry.

"Your friend is coming." I looked towards the door.

Before long I'd seen Eric break down the door. I also saw some guards had fallen on the floor unconscious.

...

We approached the Queen without any hesitation. Erasmus carried his sword and Eric with his arrow. Before I had begged them not to kill my mother, just eliminate her magic and memory. I hope they keep their promises.

Eric pointed his arrow towards the Queen's crown. The Queen casually bewitched him into a strand of chicken feather. He also bewitched both of Eric's legs to become paralyzed.

"I hope this is the last meeting." Erasmus.

"You haven't changed. Your kind nature is only for the people you care about. You're so friendly with my son, do you love him?"

The question made all eyes focused on Erasmus.

"What about Hera? Have you forgotten her because she's pregnant with a daughter as beautiful as Hera?"

"I didn't come here to reminisce." Reply Erasmus with ketus.

The queen stepped closer to Erasmus and me. Feet tremble, for the first time I'm terrified of the Queen. It was afraid of being killed in my own hands, not just physically sick because my mind was more hurt.

"I know that my magic can't attack you completely. But I can kill you, Erasmus."

The right time. I immediately pulled my mother's crown from her head. The crown fell easily.

My mom started playing her magic. I tried to take his fallen crown, but he took his crown with his magic. I can too!

I controlled my finger and focused on the crown. The crown continued to float and did not move. I tried to pull with my magic, but my magic was too powerful. I also tried to ask for help from the wind to strengthen my strength.

Got it!

"If you destroy that crown, then you'll lose Eric." My mother reminded me in a loud voice.

"Do it!" Eric Shouts.

I looked at Eric, smiling lips and eyes that held back wounds. Not only was Eric afraid of losing his memory, I was also very scared. My tears just dripped when I saw this crown in my right hand.

I played my hand, all I thought about was the destruction of the red diamond in this crown. Moving my index finger. Not as easy as I thought, this diamond is hard to break by my magic power.

"Please be ruined!" I said, as if begging the diamond to melt itself.

The queen started swinging her staff. His magic is starting to make it hard for me to breathe. I kept trying to smash the diamond even though I had a hard time breathing. Please, quickly destroy!

The diamond began to crack slowly, along with my breath that was left only slightly in my lungs. My mother approached me in such a slow step. I tried to fight his magic, but it was hard. I'd better keep trying to destroy this diamond.

The diamond split in two, and within seconds it was reduced to ashes. My mother's magic that kept attacking me was slowly disappearing. He stepped closer to the ashes, he was right in front of me. I tried to look into the door's mouth, the bodyguard who fell unconscious from Eric's attack and Erasmus still fainted. I also saw the annoyed look from my mother's eyes when she saw me, I'm sure she started hating me. On the other hand I saw Eric unconscious.

I was crying while trying to breathe. For years I had no family, now the family I had was destroyed in an instant. My mom started hating me and I went out of Eric's memory.

"You-" My mother's words came to a halt when the splash of my mother's blood hit my face. I screamed out the word 'mother' as I watched the sword piercing through her chest.

Erasmus put his sword in my body.

"I can kill you too." Erasmus said after the sword hurt my mother.

I tried to drag my body in front of my mother. My tears did not stop. My mother's chest was pierced by the sword, but I also felt the pain. I tried to tear off some of the skirts I was wearing to hold the blood coming out. The tears I shed today are a sign of the half of my life melting and drifting away in misery.

"I'm sorry." I said with a very tight breath. I couldn't stop these tears and sadness for a second.

"I'm really looking for you. 'cause I'm-" My mom keeps talking while enduring the pain. My heart also seemed to be slashed.

"I missed you. You are a very dear child." Mother continued. Souls battered. My mother's tears came out as I hugged her.

"I'm sorry." My speech.

"Everything does. because. The reason you don't want to... I became... evil, right? I've been.. say. if... I understand you."

I saw his face that could no longer say. His face is paled. I felt his cold, trembling left hand as I clasped his left. But he still tried to smile when he saw me.

Erasmus took my mother's wand from my mother's right hand. Erasmus quickly took the diamond. Without saying anything to me, he pulled my right hand. He put the diamond between my hand and his hand. I don't know what he's doing right now.

Within seconds, the stone melted into ashes.

"What are you doing?" Ask slowly.

"Destroy the witches." Answer without thinking long.

His words hurt my heart. He didn't think about my feelings for a second. I killed my family to save his family. It's annoying and too selfish.

"Easy! You must be happy." Last message from my mother.

"I'm sorry. This is not what I want." I tried to explain it to my mother.

My tears are getting worse and I can't stand it anymore. The sound of my crying was getting clear even though my mother did not let out a groan of pain. Seeing this incident made me feel evil, very evil. What kind of kid got his mom killed. He did make a mistake and I want to correct that mistake, not to let him get killed.

This is my life that has always been sad.

My head hurts a lot and my breath feels more and more tight. Sadness not only melts the feelings, but also the mind. My life was miserable, this time it felt like my life was almost wiped out.

All dark.
