Phantasia: The Princess Knight

Alicia's body started to shine a golden light that slowly started to flicker with streaks of black. She gazed down at the Fernalia army and raised her hand to the sky. A large magic circle slowly began to form overhead spanning the sky. But that was not the only place a magic circle began to form.

The Farnelila Kingdom….

"Mother what's that!?" A little child pointed at the sky. Above them was a golden light with specks of black. Slowly but surely the golden light spread out forming an intricate magic circle. 

The mother of the child looked up into the sky in horror when she saw this sight. She knew that there was only one country that would attack them with such grand magic. Alastine…. Her husband was none other than the king himself. She gazed over at her husband who had just walked in with a pale face. Tears dripped from her eyes. The two gazed at each other needing no words. They knew their time was coming to an end.

"I'm sorry I should have listened to you..." As the king held his wife and child the magic circle in the sky that span the entire Fernalia kingdom finished forming.

Light gathered in the middle of the magic circle continuously accumulating and expanding. When the ball of light had reached its max, beams of light shot out in all directions. Whatever they hit left nothing but molten lava. The entirety of the Fernalia kingdom and its millions of citizens on this day, the 34th day of the tenth month, in the year 1227834, the Fernalia kingdom was wiped off the face of Phantasia.

Alastine, Alicia's location…

Alicia looked down at the molten ground, her face showing no expression whatsoever. The celestial power within Alicia was fluctuating as more and more black streaks could be seen in the golden aura that was emanating out of her. Blake could sense something was wrong because normally Alicia would faint after using such large scale magic. He could also feel the rumble coming from behind him, he was not sure but he had an assumption that the Fernilia kingdom suffered the same fate as these soldiers. 

"Alicia?" Blake called out to her. 

Alicia heard her name and turned towards Blake. Blake saw the frosty look she was giving him. She raised her hand once again towards the sky, her power flowed out of her and started to head towards the north. Blake could see the more she used her power the more it would turn black. this caused him great alarm as he shouted out: "Alicia stop! Any more and you could die!"contemporary romance

Alicia shook her head. "No! They attacked Alastine! They harmed my father, my sister, my brother, and my friends. They harmed the innocent citizens of Alastine who had never wanted to go to war! I will show no mercy to those who harm my king, my Kingdom's land, or my Kingdom's people!" 

"Alicia stop you are also taking innocent lives! Those who are not the enemy!" Blake tried to reason. He was truly astonished that Alicia was conscious even now.

"They could have stopped it! They could have asked their king to not invade! They are just as guilty!" Alicia yelled out. Her emotions were a mess, tears streamed from her eyes. She couldn't take seeing the people closest to her get hurt. 

"Alicia what your doing maybe line up with the knight's code but what about your own morals!? Are you willing to kill more innocents? You have already killed millions of people! If any of them survive they may even try to bring more harm to Alastine." Blake at this point was just trying to get through to Alicia. He knew she was still young. She was doing nothing more than throwing a temper tantrum without thinking of the consequences! 

"But they… Muph" Alicia's eyes opened wide, her celestial power that was no more than a second ago pouring out of her body vanished. In front of her very eyes was Blake's handsome face and against her lips was his. He hugged her tightly and firmly pressed his lips against hers. 

Alicia's eyes slowly turned back to normal as she slowly closed her eyes. Tears rolled down her cheeks, to her chin before finally dripping down onto Blake's chest. Feeling Alicia's body finally relax. Blake broke their kiss and looked at Alicia, gently wiping her eyes. "Akari, I do not want to see my future wife, the girl I love, fall into darkness. I will protect you from everything including yourself."

Alicia opened her eyes and gazed into Blake's eyes. tears began to well up at a faster pace as she realized what she had done. Blake held her gently as she cried in his arms. She waved his free hand and floated to the ground, gently placing Princess Philip, Princess Catherine, Starla, and Annelia down. He then slumped to the ground with Alicia in his arms caressing her back. Allowing her to cry until she had no more tears. 

Blake cursed this world who would make such a little girl hold so much responsibility at such a young age. Shouldering the weight of an entire kingdom was not easy for a girl who was not even twelve yet. But she had been trying to burden it all alone. Dealing with each issue as it came up. 

"Akari… From now on rely on me more. I will do anything for you, as long as it will make you happy."
