Supernatural Villain (Supernatural Captivity #3) - Avery Song Page 0,102

all. This throne will not be ruled by me, but I will be an accessory they will aid it with my power to become a place of serenity like it was always created to become. The woman who will unlock the shackles of time I've placed upon your people will reveal this part of the past, and that will be the sign that you've found me. The reborn me."

Quinnlan looked hesitant as she stared at the castle walls that now seemed abandoned for centuries. "What shall I do when they come to investigate?"

"Your role is to observe from a distance and only kill those who seek nothing but to sit upon a throne that does not belong to them. Whoever enters this kingdom with the intention of power will never leave, for the land will destroy them, with you being the last line of defense. When I return to this kingdom, I'll be ready to face the trial connected to this throne."

All Quinnlan could do was nod, before she went on her knees and bowed her head into the pooled blood of her lost ones.

"Princess...I'm sorry. I'm sorry that none of us predicted this. I'm sorry that I couldn't play my part in protecting you and your parents. Forgive me."

"The Universe makes no mistakes, Quinnlan. My death and rebirth will prevent the end that man wishes to ignite. The Universe is not ready for such summoning, and when I return, the world will be far more advanced, enough to tackle the true villain who seeks the end of these realms," she explained. "You are not the one to apologize, for a time will come when I will know who my mother is and, with the aid of those loyal to me, will unlock my father's soul from the clutches of the Oracle. I do, however, owe you an apology, for you have a long and lonely journey ahead of you."

"If it means to give you another chance at life, princess, so be it! I will be your servant and await your return."

"You will be rewarded with a role far greater than servant upon my return, Quinnlan. Know that all those frozen in time, including your fianc茅, will not age and will be safe in these new lands."

"Thank you, Princess. Please...return safely."

"Farewell, Princess Quinnlan. May you one day aid me in the revolution of universal peace."

The memory faded away, returning us to the present stillness of the throne room.

"You mean to say that I...somehow ignited all of this?" I questioned in shock.

"It was destined for you to be a Monarch, and that destiny was disturbed. Every born child is a soul that has a purpose, and yours is in hand with the survival of this world," Quinn revealed. "This throne's awakening not only restores the clock for all those frozen in wait, but they will grasp what has occurred and how you've been reborn to take your place on the throne your parents died to protect."

She turned her attention back to Quil-Zu, her expression softening as she nodded her head. "You will have many questions not that your memories are intact. When things have calmed, feel free to ask me anything."

"Thank you, sister," she whispered as a teardrop rolled down her cheek.

"It's time to face what has been unlocked. Prepare to celebrate by witnessing the lives you've saved, Queen Cassandra," she announced as she raised her hands up.

I was pulled back into my body and just like that, I sat upon the throne in the present as there was a brief moment of darkness before cheers erupted from the outside.

Everyone but my parents seemed shocked by the sudden sound - Marigold, Aries, Otis, Adonis, and Tristian moving to the balcony in a protective manner, only to come to a stop at whatever they saw.

Omarion and Dominick rose up and looked at me questioningly, and I merely smiled as I rose from the throne and walked down the stairs. My hands were in their outstretched ones, and as if they predicted my movement, we began to move as one unit towards the balcony. I felt my parents right behind me, which left me feeling even more excited for them to see what had been freed from the captivity of time.

Walking onto the balcony and to the very edge of the stone walls only triggered the cheers of praise from young and old as the garden below was filled with people, just like the skies were filled with those who had
