Her eyes danced over the view in front of her, as her smile grew. "I want all of my people to see her fall. I want them to know that I am the only one with the power to keep the red moon around, and only I can take it away.""You are the strongest Queen they have, one that will see even Toban falling to his knees."A small chuckle escaped her lips. Turning away from the balcony, Anna made her way down towards the holding cells. "Toban was too blind to see what I had planned.

Screams echoed throughout the vast field. Women and children ran from the scene as men tried their best to stop the rogue's attack, to no avail. It was all in vain as the rogues were too strong. The women screamed as their children were ripped away, and their kids screamed for their parents to save them. No one would, for they knew going against their King would end them up dead.Sitting atop his horse, Toban smirked down at the village below him. Dragons in different shades of red and grey flew around breathing fire on the once happy village. This is what he wanted.

Walking towards the room where Abagail was sleeping, William fixed the cuffs of his shirt. Tonight he wanted to take her back to the water where she was healed. He wanted to spend the night with her, and hopefully tell her how much he cared for her.In all his years he had never felt this way about someone. The way she would stand up to the other men or the way she easily made orders stirred something in him. He wanted to protect her but at the same time, he wanted to watch her rule like he knew she could. After all, she was born to rule.Even though her father may be Toban, William knew she was nothing like him. She was kind-hearted and caring to those around her.

flashbackThe air was thick with heavy smoke. Buildings around the village had been torched by the Rogues, as Toban's men pulled all the women and children to the small clearing. Off to the side, men were being pulled towards the forest where they would soon be killed. Their screams could be heard from where Sarah was hiding, causing a chill to seep deep within her bones.Upon the first set of screams heard from the farming area, she had hidden in the back corner of her hut. From here she was sure she wouldn't be seen. As the sound of footsteps came closer to her, she prayed no one would see her. She wasn't about to let these people come in and take what they wanted.As carefully as she could without making any sound, Sarah reached down to grasp the knife strapped to her thigh. If they were going to take her, then she was going to give them one hell of a fight.
