"What about the sword?"
It was Desella who asked the question.
"You remember that red cross?"
Both Tishn and Desella nodded their head in acknowledgement.
"The red cross was the key to the sword. Only the one who understands the real meaning behind this baroque world will be awarded this, however, how would this lead to the sword, even I wasn't aware unless..."
Severus stopped in middle.
Unless?
Unless?
A painful expression crossed Severus' face."Unless the red cross isn't stained with the blood of the wielder of this cross. When Desella hugged me, she had my blood all over her hand and she accidentally touched the cross, so this way the cross was stained with my blood. However, since I was unconscious, the sword was not able to take shape and hence no changes occurred. I guess it used his powers to heal me and of course it was Desella who awakened me from my subconscious"
Desella was startled.
"Me? How?"
"Of course sweety it was you. After your long confession, do you think I would let you die?", he smiled sweetly but in next instant, his expressions changed.
"You fool!"
He shouted angrily.
"What do you take Tishn for…..bleh.. bleh...bleh...old time sake. How can you even believe this son of a bitc.....bastard son of darkness"
Desella was stumped. She didn't have words to refute him.
"You actually believed him. Let me tell you what was his actual intension. He wanted to absorb your soul spirit and after doing that he would have killed me for my powers. And about that shit of coming back….do you really think you can come back from Oblivion. No, Idiot once your existence has vanished, you are no more. Not even your memories. You will be swiped out completely from the universe...Uhh...We need to talk Desella later but before that….."
"Time to say goodbye"
"Farewell Tishn", With this said, Severus twisted the blade of the sword inside Tishn. A howl vibrated inside the chamber as it crumbled.
"Severus the castle is crumbling"
"Yeah, I know Desella. Since I unfolded the mystery behind the baroque mirror existence, it will crumble as it's purpose has been fulfilled."
"Pass me that spear Desella"
Desella passed him the spear.
Without Delaying Severus pierced his chest again with Tishn's own spear as he took out the sword.
"LLLLil…...Dellllaa….we really adored you" With this Tishn died. His handsome face lost all of his colours and he just laid there, in peace.
Severus closed his eyes as he prayed for him.
"May your soul rest in peace"
The castle was crumbling quickly because of its owner death. Severus grabbed Desella and ran as far as he can while dodging debris.
After they safely came outside of the castle they saw a silvery gate.
"Severus, Look. Its the gate. Gate of our world. Let's jump before it gets disappeared."
They both jumped inside the gate.
----------------
Real-world!
Rivera kingdom main palace
Inside the chamber!
Bam!
Thud!
Desella landed on the floor on top of Severus.
Severus who was sandwiched between the floor and Desella grumbled, "Will you stand up from my chest or are you going to continue laying on top of me?"
Desella quickly stood up with a red face. When she was standing, she felt a metal poking her on her waist. When she inspected it, she was stunned.
It was none other than the legendary sword with a blue blade.
"You bought it back?"
"I never intend to leave it there", he replied with a smile.
She didn't refute him. Like she can.
HAH!
"Now shall we leave this palace?"
"Sure Desella"
Severus helped her and soon they came out from the chamber but this time there wasn't even a scratch on his body. It was his sword that helped him defend against the curse. Severus observed that he could faintly see visions with the help of dark matter of this world but compared to the baroque world, it was very faint.
Extremely blurry.
"Darkness of Baroque world can't be compared with the ordinary world I guess"
"Of Course Severus, you can't compare it. The darkness present inside the baroque mirror was specially made by Hades whereas here, it all depends on people's experience and reactions to it. The quality of dark matter present here is bound to be low"
She explained it.
She confirmed his doubts.
Severus thought about it but in the end, didn't give a deep thought to it. If he just going to see blurry images then this power is pretty useless in the real world.
As soon as they crossed the silent hallway they both were shocked to see so many people in front of them.
MOVE!
MOVE!
Move to right-wing of the castle for your safety!
The King ordered for all the women and children to move to the B wings and all the men inside the palace were ordered to report to the main gate of the main palace and provide assistance to the main trope there.
I repeat again!
TICK!
TICK!
TICK!
Sound of heavy footsteps approached them.
Severus quickly hid Desellla behind him and signalled her to be quiet.
The main palace was in the state of chaos. The troupe of soldiers were parading inside the castle while giving instructions. It was as if the whole castle was on fire. Everyone was in a state of panic however, something was amiss.
For the main palace to be in rush, there could be only two things that could happen. Either a war broke and a powerful opponent was battling them or else someone was deliberately attacking the main castle. From both of the conclusion, the latter seemed feasible since the first option was just impractical.
It's been only a few hours so for a war to break in such a short time was really odd plus, Rivera was not really a kingdom to be trifled unless you want a severe fight and that wouldn't be convenient for any kingdom.
"I think something major happened Severus" Desella whispered in his ear.
"I think so too. Let's go and check what issues are our dear kingdom is facing"
Desella nodded her head in acknowledgement but as if she remembered something, she shook her head.
"What?"
Severus was confused when he saw her acting strangely.
"You sure you want to go like this?"
"Yea, what's wrong with going like this?"
"Your disguise?"
"Oh, you mean silver hairs and black eyes?"
"Yea!!"
"Well I think it will save me from the eyes of that Crown prince and Royal dogs"
"Pff. Okay," She really laughed hard when Severus mentioned royal people as royal dogs. It actually suited them.
They both quickly sneaked from the main palace and soon found a large window near the hall.
There he saw the magnanimous scene of the history. The sky was painted orange and yellow because of flames. A humongous blackbird was raging there as it was spitting balls of fire on the palace. A huge portion of the palace was burnt completely and turned into a fine powder.
"Noworry" Severus mumbled as he took a sharp breath. He nearly forgot about their broken contact. No wonder he was out here, raging on them.
"Huh, What? Noworry? Where?" Desella said when she heard Severus mumbling Noworry.
Severus pointed out high up in the sky.
Desella followed his direction and soon spotted a large black bird creating a massacre. It was squeaking as well as spitting fireballs. It was looking extremely angry as if someone has harmed his eggs.
"Holy Shit!"
"It's Nowoory there? Are you sure? Severus this....this, don't joke around. Although I agree that he looks a bit similar to Noworry, even there body structure and colour is the same but for heaven's sake SEVERUS, you just compare their sizes. Noworry is just small cute bird whereas this monster here is such a humongous beast spitting fire and killing everyone. You sure have some cheeks to say that the monster is none other than our dear Noworrry."
If Noworry was here He would have surely given a reaction like,
Noworry "..."
Cute, You kidding me?
Severus slammed his head. The less he wanted to tell Desella, the more circumstances were forcing him to tell. He was frustrated over that black pig flying above in the sky.
Pig....aka....noworry.
"Desella that big bird above there is our dear and cute noworry. Don't question me how and why just go with the flow and do what I say. Okay?"
"......"
"OKHAY"
Severus stood there still for sometimes. He was wondering how should he face Noworry with everyone there. If he just barged there then there was a high chance that Crown prince and King Marquis would recognise him. Though he was disguised but who are they? The king of Rivera and crown prince of the same kingdom. Was it a joke to kid them? Of course not. They will recognise him as soon as they will have their first look. Moreover, he himself didn't know if he could control the fluctuating emotion in his heart. If possible he would just beat crown prince for confrontation but that will foil his plans. This whole situation turned tricky. He never in his dreams imagined for the situation to take the turn for worse.
Everything was going south for him.
His telematic communication with Noworry was not working.
The kingdom was on fire.
His strength was not regained.
"What the hell Noworry!!!!!!!!!!!!"
