Ibaeran raced through the sky, flying as fast as she could before arriving at the small wooden cabin within the garden the one place she could thing of go to for help during that time. Once there she land on the floor with the steel wings vanishing she quickly raced to the door.

  “Ton’Onama, I need you help”, Ibaeran said desperately as she burst through the door only to find Ton’Onama’s back with his face staring blankly on the wall in silence.

  “Ton’Onama”, Ibaeran spoke cautiously, sense that something wrong as she took a few step closer to him.

  “Is everything okay”, she asked, her voice laced with a look of fear and concern.

  She then stretched out her hand, reaching out to him before hand could make contact with him; he lashed out and attack Ibaeran with a swipe of his claws. Ibaeran managed to move fast enough to avoid the unexpected attack before raising head to look at, with pure and utter horror in her eyes, Ton’Onama with his glowing emerald eyes.

  Ton’Onama then looked Ibaeran, seeing the shocked and frightened looked on her face before a familiar grin formed on his face.

  “Su Baera”, Ton’Onama with a distort and twisted beastly voice that wasn’t his own.

  “Y-your Majesty”, Ibaeran spoke with an even greater look of shock, horror, and dread on her, recognizing the twist beastly voice coming from the Ton’Onama’s mouth.

  Ton’Onama, seeing the fear in Ibaeran’s eyes grow even more, took a step closer to her.

  “No”, Ibaeran spoke, her fear and dread evident in her voice as she spoke.

  “Stay away”, Ibaeran moved her body back in an attempt to stay away from Ton’Onama.

  Ton’Onama simply smiled as he watched with glee as her fear continue and grow. He then took another step closer to Ibaeran and Ibaeran, upon seeing take another step closer, got up and ran straight through the opened door.

  Ton’Onama just smiled with a wicked grin as he watched her run.

  Ibaeran ran and ran and ran as fast as he legs would allow her run, sprinting through the green forest and fields, not daring to stop or turn back not even for a moment.

  “You can run as much as you like Ibaeran” a familiar voice echoed through the forest that surrounded her.

  Ibaeran upon hearing the voice just pushed herself to run even faster.

  “But there is nowhere you can go”, the voice spoke before Ibaeran felt something grab hold of her, causing to trip and fall.

  Ibaeran then looked down to see what had grabbed hold of her leg and found roots sprouting out of the ground, curling and wrapping itself around her leg. Ibaeran, horrified, tried to remove the roots with her other leg, stumping and kicking them in an attempt to get them off her only for more of the roots to sprout out of the ground and wrapped itself around Ibaeran.

  The roots confound and bound Ibaeran within their tight grasps, trapping her and preventing her from moving. Then vines and roots from all around then began gather around before coming together to form a familiar face which Ibaeran looked upon with a look of horror and dread.

  “Your…Majesty”, Ibaeran spoke, her voice trembling and shaking with horror and fear.

  The green face of the king formed by the intersecting vines and roots smiled with sinister green before saying a beastly voice, “There’s nowhere to run Ibaeran. I have become one with very essence life itself. I am everywhere, within everything lives and breathes, including you”.

  “Your Majesty you don’t understand. This isn’t you talking, it’s power. It’s too raw and savage for you to control. Please for your sake, you have to let go of this power”, said Ibaeran, trying her very best to make the king see reason.

  You could be reading stolen content. Head to Royal Road for the genuine story.

  The king upon hearing her words, yelled out with a ferocious beastly roar with his eye glowing a fierce emerald green hue, “HOW DARE YOU!!!!”

  “I am king Datubo, ruler of this world, the Uha Tamunaran empire and conquer of the four nations of man, and slayer of the Su Baera. There is no power great enough to command or conquer me, not the power of life itself of even the Su Baera”, said the king, refusing to listen to Ibaeran’s warning.

  “I know how powerful you must feel wielding that power. I felt it too the first time I used the Dumo Stone. You feel liberated and free, as if you can do anything your heart desires but with that freedom comes the urge to succumb and lose all control to your deepest, darkest, and most savage of desires. Please king Datubo, let go off the power, it’s not too late”, said Ibaeran, begging him to relinquish then power of the Dumo Stone before it was too late.

  Datubo, upon hearing what Ibaeran just started cackling and laughing franticly like a mad man.

  “Do you honestly think you can fool me? This power can never take control over me, for I am Datubo, nothing can conquer me for I conquer all”, said the king.

  Ibaeran then felt what she could only describe as dark savage force trying its best to take over. She then looked at the king who wore a sinister grin on his face as he watched her begin to struggle to maintain control over herself.

  “Can you feel it Ibaeran, that is the power I now command breaking and twisting that will of yours in to my own”, said the king with a wicked smile on his green face.

  Ibaeran could feel it, the savage essence of the king with her, hunger and desire to for more and more power, stand above everyone and everything along with a feeling that felt somewhat familiar to her but was too overshadowed by the hunger for power for her to make out clearly was it was. Ibaeran tried her very best to resist and continue fighting king’s will from taking over but the power seemed too much and she found herself losing in the battle of control.

  “No”, Ibaeran cried out as she continued in her desperate struggle to maintain control.

  The king just smiled; amused by the fact that Ibaeran was still fighting desperately to in control and resist his will but all her struggling and resisting all meaningless and pointless in the. Seeing the thin green threads of life that Ibaeran to the Dumo stone along with every single living creature in their world grow dark, corrupted by his will, the king knew that it was only a matter of time before she fell along with the rest of the world, to his will and control.

  Ibaeran could feel it, her essence failing and the Datubo will taking over. She then bowed down her head and then let out a deep sigh, before bowing down her head. She had failed, failed her people, the Uha Tamunaran, and the world, and now there was no point in fight. The king already had the Dumo Stone and the world was now doomed to submit and fall to the will. And the worst part of it all was that it was all her fault.

  Reminiscing on the king’s words to her right before he took the Dumo Stone from her and finding truth within them. She was never meant to be the Su Baera and was always a slave serving a wicked master.

  Ibaeran then let out a final sigh before giving up of fighting a pointless battle and allow the king’s will to take over.

  The king, upon seeing that Ibaeran was no longer resisting his will, grinned happily, pleased to see that Ibaeran finally understand her place as slave who was always meant to bend to the will of her master. But however, before the king’s will could completely take over Ibaeran heard a familiar faint voice in her heard call out her, saying a single word “Try”.

  An image of people suffering in the hands of the Uha Tamunarans appeared on her face.

  “Try”, the voice called out once again and another image of the Uha Tamunaran of Kiripapaboa abandoned by their king who found no use for them in his empire.

  “Try”, and finally the most painful of image of them all, the image of Preyina in her final lying on her bed and making her promise to do the very words that currently ringing in her heard by that familiar voice.

  Ibaeran, upon seeing those images flash in her head, couldn’t bring herself quit and simply submit to the king’s evil will. Recalling everything that monster was responsible for, all the pain and hurt he had caused not to her but his people as well.

  This couldn’t be the end of her story, not after she had been through, she still her promise to keep she still had to…“Try”, Ibaeran’s entire body began to overflow with overwhelming power, causing the roots that bound and confound her tear and broke apart, freeing her from their grasp.

  The king the was taken aback at the overwhelming power felt coming from Ibaeran, overwhelming, raw, and immense, a power that change the very air that surrounded them making it feel thick and heavy. The king then watched with a look of shock, disbelief, dread and rage as the thread that connected Ibaeran to the Dumo Stone begin glow with darkness tainted it vanishing.

  “No, this can’t be possible. I have the ultimate power”, the king spoke with rage and contempt in his heart, unable to accept that Ibaeran’s power was able to resist his will over.

  Ibaeran’s power kept rising and rising, reaching monstrous proportion to the point to the point even the king found it hard to believe or even fathom that so much power was coming out from. The ground shook, quaked, cracked and broke apart due to how tremendous Ibaeran’s power was. Ibaeran’s body then shone brightly as the power continued to rise.

  The wings of the Su Baera then extended out of her back, then there was a flash of light that engulf and incinerated everything with the raw power of the Su Baera.

  And as the light dimmed down there was nothing more than a crater filled with ash and smoke.

  Ibaeran was gone.
