I had a revelation about Polaty’s past!
Ok. I started thinking that it may have happened something that made the jerk’s powers bigger in some point because
1)they were able to escape from him in the first place
2)they also were safe for a long time inside Polaty
So, there must be a reason for him to become a menace again. Both to explain the tragic end of the Archaics and also because I seriously doubt that he would let them go in peace, either because of his obsession with the Original Queen and for his pride.
In base of that, and related to my last story; what if the something that makes him stronger enough to reach them on the island were crystals?
Think of it! The reason why the dark witch was so powerful was because he gave her a ruby, so why he wouldn’t use the crystal in his own favor??? Actually, i’m pretty sure he dedicated a lot of time figuring out how to take advantage of their properties in order to have a great revenge.
That being said, what if his whole castle is full of crystals? Even more, what if his whole castle IS MADE of crystals?. What if he has a scepter of crystals to defend himself?! What if that is the reason he become immortal?
But my ideas didn’t end there. Returning to the first part, what if, after starting using his improved power to chase them even in the farther corners of the world, he tried to get inside the Original Queen’s mind??? What if she couldn’t face him effortlessly? What if she was attacked without rest, while he waited for an instant of weakness to enter her head and possess her? What if the effort made her scream in pain and fatigue? If it made her crazy?
What if the Original King couldn’t bear it any longer?
And that is when i realized that the Original King, in order to protect his beloved one and their kingdom, would sacrifice himself without a second thought. For real, he would carry the burden for her. Because it is his queen that they need the most, not him. And because he cannot continue to endure seeing her suffer and fall deeper and deeper.
So he convinced her, arguing that it was for the safety of her kingdom. And they tricked his enemy with the summer’s skill.
From that moment the one tormished by the jerk was the King and not the Queen. And without a way to defend himself, his mind started to break little by little.
The deep security prison where Aty suffered? It was made for the King. To keep him away from the kingdom. To be sure that he wouldn’t hurt anyone in his craziness. Because, after all, he was a perfect killing machine out of control. Better to be safe than worry.
But the Queen couldn’t accept that, couldn't beart that her love suffered because of her fault.Â
And she made a plan.
She would get rid of the only reason he was still pursuing them, sacrificing herself to protect everyone, as her love did. But of course, she wouldn’t let him win so easily.
It wasn’t an eternal goodbye, she would find the Original King again, even if thousand of years were necessary.
The Queen did a spell, with all her strength and what I suspect was a second blessing of the goddesses (because let’s face it: if they gave the King two gifts, it is more than likely that they gave the queen two as well, and that both powers were really important and powerful) and linked their souls forever. (Which also implies that Aty has a second power that no one knows about!)
And she had a daughter, no matter with whom, no matter how. A daughter who would be the heir to her legacy and her sins, a daughter who would begin the cycle towards reincarnation. One hundred lives for a second chance in this world. One hundred lives to see him again.
And then she killed herself. Freeing her King and her kingdom from the curse. Leaving behind a baby, a few instructions and a broken monarchy (in mind and heart).
So that is. That’s the story of the Archaics.
I finally did it!
