Part 4
The kingdoms are ready to attack, Aveline made sure to sprite the message of her sister: Arazu has kidnapped the regents of their kingdoms, and he wants to take the control of everything, he´s out of his mind.
The Kingdom of Detheus is a nightmare. Chaos and devastation are everywhere. The rumor is no longer a rumor. Citizens are scared, they do not trust in his king anyone, but whoever dares to question the will of the king will be brutally murdered.
The worst danger was within the kingdom, and not outside. The most powerful person in the world now is an enemy, of the people he swore to protect. Arazu didn´t look like a human, he looked like a demon on earth.
Hordes of enraged people were heading towards the Kingdom´s Castle. The soldiers were in the frontline waiting for enemies, but the reality was another: People from the kingdom were there. The people went for the king's head, and at some point, the soldiers also went against Arazu.
By seeing this situation, Arazu understood that people from the kingdom disagree with his ways, but the power he got throughout the years blinded him and he didn´t care too much about the place he built, now, he just wanted to be the most powerful human ever.
He took his legendary sword, and finished off everyone in the room, including his faithful soldiers. Now he was heading for the outskirts of the castle, with an angry horde waiting for him. He had lost his senses, he was no longer the king that everyone respected, now he was just a monster with immeasurable power. So he did the unthinkable: He wiped out the townspeople in the blink of an eye.
Nothing to see here, just ruins. Arazu had destroyed the Kingdom that he tried to build for a long time, and now, ashes covered his body.
Suddenly, Ezea came in from the woods and saw her father lying on top of what was once an imposing castle. He was devastated, he knew there was nothing there, only his brand new sword, the protagonist of his destruction. His son looked at him with sorrow, he knew there was nothing of what was once his father.
Further in the forest, the great protective witch Krotoa knew that she had achieved her goal: to put an end to Arazu and all that he represented. Aveline was with her, but she felt a little bad about Ezea, he wasn´t responsible for his father´s acts, but he was connected.
Arazu was dejected, without strength, he knew he had lost everything as if the spell of the sword had lost its effect. He began to cry when he saw his son and could only tell him: "It was the sword, but I wielded it, do what you have to do to end this."
Ezea's fury was such that he did not hesitate for a second to take the sword, and in a desperate act, he pierced his father with the weapon that had once brought him great triumphs.
Ezea knew something was wrong, but her father had to pay for his crimes. The sword had taken control of her mind, and she knew who was responsible: Aveline. Undoubtedly, young Ezea was going on a quest, one that might kill him, but would bring justice for all the lives that were lost. The search for Aveline was beginning.}
Within hours, the kingdoms that had received the alarm had arrived in Dethus in search of war, but when they reached the land, they were horrified by what they witnessed: ruins and ashes everywhere, and no one alive to explain anything.
Arriving at the castle, they saw how the lifeless bodies of their regents lay there, and just ahead, a king, a fallen king who was the beginning of all the trouble. Arazu was lying next to his throne, the same one that drove him mad.
Dethus disappeared, and the remaining kingdoms now began an era without kings, which could not be more scandalous. Justice was done? Maybe, but now it was a young Ezea, the one who had to avenge his people, but that will be another time...
The end.
