Bride of the Dark Lord

#84 Death of Eternal Ruler II

His hand touched my collar. And I somehow felt, it wasn't as tight as it used to be on my neck. Regalis felt it too.

Shock on his face. And definitely mine too.

Slowly, he lifted the collar. And it separated in his hands. Split into two! My collar mage was dead. Hence, the magic on it had been broken!

Quickly, I checked my arm. The marks were gone! The invisible marks, counting the days for Marjol were gone.

I looked around. Though many of the corpses were all burnt-up, still, it was obvious to any eye that none of Randall's sorcerers lived on.

The sorcerers were dead. And so, the spell on Marjol was broken!

I screamed! My people, could come out from underground!

I faced Regalis, so much joy in my heart. I looked up to the night sky. Shalott, flying in the air, and joyously basking in the warm night breeze of the Capital.

And to Regalis I said, speaking words I never thought I would live to say again. "Marjol! Fly me to my home".
