《Love Agreement With The King》Chapter 287 - Goodbye
Advertisement
Sharon began to shake, she narrowed her eyes to endure the pain she was immersed in, her eyes rolled and she became paler until Sharon lost her powers and began to precipitate onto the ground.
A weird dark shadow appeared behind Sharon and caught her on the flight, Roselyn could only perceive that invisible figure yet not her appearance, she snapped her fingers and Sharon disappeared.
"You beat her." The shadow said, she walked closer to Roselyn, and the closer she walked the more recognizable and visible it became. It was a woman but Roselyn had has never seen her before.
"I'm the protector." She said, all the snakes stopped to fight to bow their heads.
"I am the one who Ethan called when he planned this battle to seek revenge on John." She continued moving her gaze toward Ethan.
"Come here.." She said, gesturing to Ethan to reach her.
Ethan reached that woman slowly and then turned around to look at Roselyn. Roselyn looked at Ethan perplex and confused, she didn't know what he had to do with the plan nor how was it possible that he was the one who planned all that.
Ethan kept a serious face and didn't move an inch, despite Roselyn's disappointed gaze was killing him inside, if he could he would come back in time only to change the choices he did drive by anger.
The protector smiled at Roselyn, meantime John had slowly woke up and gathered his energies. When he saw the protector and Roselyn he immediately stood up and rushed toward them. He groaned at the protector and Ethan probably worried they would try to harm his loved one.
But Roselyn held his hand and tilted her head to look at him offering a smile.
"I'm fine John." She reassured him who, although hesitant, decided to spare his few energies left to trust Roselyn and hope she had something in mind.
"I was the one who helped him with his plan. So now we suggest you, dear Rose, step behind and let us accomplish the plan." She said, her voice echoed and the wind began to blow all around her. The flower bloomed from the ground, letting Roselyn deduce she was probably a banshee just like her.
Roselyn knitted her eyebrows down, "I am afraid I can't let you do that."

Roselyn took a long breath and then walked closer to the banshee she had in front of her, "I already fought a banshee I can do the same with you." Hearing that statement the woman smirked and then giggled.
"Dear Rose. I am not a banshee, I am the protector of a banshee which means I am so much stronger than you. Don't put a risk your life or the life of your …" the protected gazed at Roselyn's belly letting her deduce she knew her secret. John immediately groaned, hearing her dare to threaten their child.
"If you both want to be safe. Step back." the woman finished her sentence and Roselyn had to swallow down the lump in her throat. She could feel how strong the protection was and all of a sudden she doubted her capabilities of beating whatever that creature was.
Ethan nodded slowly to John, they both speeded toward the few remaining snakes left and killed them while they were distracted by ripping off their throat. The protector widened her eyes in shock as she didn't expect Ethan to do such a thing, it wasn't planned at all.
The snakes were all knocked down, lying unconsciously on the ground, with their liquid substance spreading everywhere. The remaining survivors of John's squad all reached John and went to surround the protector giving no escape.
"We have to kill her and all the animals affected will die as well," Ethan said, glowering at the protector. She was furious with Ethan for having betrayed her trust. How would he dare to do such a thing?
She frowned her forehead and stretched her arm, Ethan felt a strong grip tightening around his neck in few instants he was panting unable to breathe properly. She stretched her second hand toward Ethan's chest and his chest began to freeze. She was slowly freezing the blood in his veins and in a matter of few minutes he would end up frozen as the blood won't be able to reach his heart anymore leaving him unconsciously.
"Roselyn help him!" John screamed as his voice broke, Roselyn stretched her hand toward Ethan as well, she had to work in the opposite approach that mysterious woman was going so she had to melt the ice and try to unfreeze Ethan.
Focusing as much as she could Roselyn finally did it, the protector traveled her gaze toward Roselyn quite surprised about her capabilities. She smiled, "I've had enough of you!" she screamed in all her anger.

That woman then stretched her hand toward the sky, she screamed so loudly that all the creatures there except Rose had to cover their eyes for the loud voice, the ground began to shake and Roselyn's vision blurred, she began to feel weird, as if she had dissociated from herself and she was looking at herself from outside. A thunder appeared above Roselyn, the protector smiled, stretching his hand now toward Roselyn.
"Noooo!" John screamed understanding what was the purpose of the protector, it was to hit Roselyn with the lighter, despite the several conditions John was in, still worn out by Sharon's attack he speeded in front of Roselyn right in time to be struck by lightning.
He was electrified and he fell onto the ground, he was dimmed in pain so excruciating it was like he was hit by million electric shocks.
"John!" Roselyn screamed, her eyes filled with tears as she understood he sacrificed his life only to save Roselyn, he was already so weak and Rose doubted he would be alive after that terrible attack. She stood up, her gaze was furious and so angry she began to float. Roselyn's fists were clenched and she closed her eyes.
She could feel all the nature was still linked with her and an unconditional range drove her. Never in her life, she had felt so angry at someone, and she had never seen that protector before. That crazy woman had killed his husband and not only, but also the father of her son.
Roselyn's hair began to color an intense red, blown by the air, green and yellow sparks surrounded her and the wind seemed to protect her.
She took a deep breath, she began to visualize all the amazing memories she shared with John, from the first day he told her about being a vampire then the first journey they did and John showed her the sea and finally the day of her marriage.
A tear ran down her face and both sadness and anger took full control of her. She spread her arms, all around her flowers bloomed and with a hinted movement flames appeared to surround the protector.
Roselyn had never been so strong, she was so strong that her powers were controlling her until magnificent huge wings grow from her back and her eyes became of a crystalline blue color.
She turned into a beautiful fly, with huge splendid green wings and long curly red hair.
Everyone was gazing up at her in awe as they had never seen the transformation of a banshee accomplished.
The protector took few steps backward, probably fearing Roselyn's transformation which only meant she reached the last level of her growth and she turned into one of the most powerful banshees never existed.
"Roselyn! Attack her now!" Ethan screamed.
Roselyn nodded, she narrowed her eyes, and with all the powers and focus in her body, she stretched both her hands toward the protector. The woman caught fire and screamed when the fire began to burn her skin, she tried to control it but was unable. It was like the natural elements only followed the order of Roselyn.
John meantime woke up, he coughed few times, and when he looked up seeing Roselyn fully accomplish her transformation a tear of commotion ran down her face.
Ethan charged, he turned around to look at Roselyn and John, "Goodbye, I love you so much. You and Ethan will always be my family." Ethan said with a broken brittle voice before he took a long deep breath and ran toward the protector, he began to burn eaten up by the flames, yet he kept strong.
During the days he spent with the snakes Sharon and the protector he found out what was the protector's weakness, it was to be burned and then stabbed straight in his heart.
He endured the pain and he sank his long sharp claws he stabbed the protector straight in her heart.
The woman's eyes were drained and her body just like it was made of papers began to float in the sky until it fully disappeared.
Roselyn and John ran toward Ethan, Roselyn stretched her arm to extinguish the fire but Ethan was so severely haunted by the flames that his wounds didn't heal.
"I love you so much. Tell that to William too." Those were the last words he spoke before he gave his last breath.

Tales of the Old World Demon Lord
1984 had indeed come, however it was 100 years late. In 2084 a man named [Sovereign] had taken control of the entire globe and the destiny of Humanity itself was in his hands. Many called him evil, perhaps he was, but Sovereign believed that he was cultivating the future of humanity; he knew that if Humanity continued on its current trajectory it would not last. However his plans came to an abrupt end when he was tragically murdered by his closest confidante. For a time after that the world finally found peace as their evil overlord had been overthrown but as Sovereign had predicted the world indeed came to an end. Humanity had returned to its old ways, they reconstructed borders, created separations known as 'countries' and in the end without unification and a single future, war had once again engulfed the world. Slowly as it choked on its own ineptitude the humans killed themselves off as their resources depleted and the planet was made uninhabitable. However this was not the end of the story for Sovereign, but a new beginning. Born again in a world of swords and sorcery he quietly evaluates the mettle of these new humans. Should they not come to meet his standards then 'Sovereign' would also be reborn. "To the primitive fools who believe magic reigns supreme, allow me to demonstrate the might of the old world technology."Arc 1: Kenesis Enhancement Project/SovereignArc 2: Human Immortalization Project/Nemesis Arc 3: The Skyfall Project/Gungnir
