She stalked through the crowded streets. Nobles and servants fled quickly as flames rose from the buildings. A sly smirk rose from her lips.

Everyone would die tonight. All whom had did her wrong. She slid the smooth iron dagger from the hilt strapped to her thigh.

Her black heels clicked on the stone stairs of the palace. Shoving aside servants; motioning them to leave the castle. Through many corridors she walked leaving a trail of ashy footprints.

The large gold and oak doors of the throne room swung open as she stepped inside; slamming them shut behind her.

“Cerena!” The kind bellowed, “You must stop this at once!”

His wife Casandra hid behind his tall figure. Jewels and fine fabrics clung to her body. Cerena sighed.

“Tsk. Maybe if you weren’t such an arrogant old man I’d spare you. But alas you just had to go and kill my lover” She snarled.

Cerena reached behind her grabbing a sharp throwing star. She threw it with deadly precision. It dug itself deep into the queen’s chest; blood pooling around her as she collapsed to the floor.

The king gasped in shock. “Y-you monster!” His eyes grew wide with rage.

“Now now, I’d be careful if I was you so I don’t end up like little Casandra over there”

Just as she predicted he charged her. As he ran towards her, she swung her dagger right into his neck.

“Goodbye your majesty. And your kingdom which will soon only be ashes.”

I twist the knife before withdrawing it, letting his limp body crumble to the ground.
