Day 3

"The army is fully prepared." Isamu informed me as I sat on my throne with my chin resting against my palm.

"Good. Doble the guards, prepare the horses as well." I said to her. She nodded and turned around, leaving the huge hall. As the doors closed I sighed.

"Akuma, I have a question and I need the best advice you can give me." I looked to my left. Akuma was standing beside me just like the hand of the Queen should.

"I'll try my best to help you. What is it that you want from me?"

"It's about my Domain Expansion." Akuma blinked at me and I began to ask the questions I needed.

"I see. Very well then." I stood up after he gave me the answer.

"That's everything I need from you. You can leave now." I smiled at him. He nodded and walked away, leaving me alone. I still have the same feeling as I had before. Like something bad is going to happen but I can't wrap my finger around it. Frustrated, I groaned and stormed out of the castle to the meadows that were behind it. I pulled my hands together and my eyes began to glow in black color before slightly changing to bright yellow.

"Domain Expansion: Silhouette Monstrosity." I said. I could hear so many whisperers from every side that it was hard to make up what they were saying.

"Verbind." The ground began to shake. I could see many small curse spirits coming together and creating one large one. And soon, the huge beast was created. It roared before it bent down and faced me with its large head (I'm just going to say that this beast is the size of Balerion).

I run my hands up and down his scales that were colored in all shapes of black. I slowly made my way towards his back while running my hand across his neck. He lowered himself so I could get on top. And once I did, he proudly roared and spread his huge wings.

'I need to take out my frustration and the only way I can do that is by burning things.'

"Fly." I commanded. The beast immediately began to run towards the other direction where he had more space for take-off. He runs towards a cliff. And once he was at the end of the cliff, he spread his wings and began to fly.

I tightened my grip around the spikes that he had on his back so I wouldn't fall. He was flying high in the sky, to the clouds. Once he was above them, his flying technique became a bit calmer. I stood up o his back and carefully looked down at the surface. And as soon as I spotted a village, I stomped on his back. That was a signal for him to fly down towards the village.

There are two ways I could do this. Either I will burn the village myself, or I will have him burn the village. Though I've already decided.

'I'm not going to spend my energy on a small village when something bigger is coming.'

He turned his body to this side and began to fly down in great speed. The roars of my beast were loud enough and our presence was quickly known to the villagers. After they noticed us they began to run around like ants. Trying to find a place to hide. I smirked.

'Pathetic.'

Once my beast was close to the ground it leveled its flight. The shadows of his huge wings were covering most of the space. Even cutting the tops of trees as he flew above them. Once we were close I straightened up.

"Burn them all..." I said. It might have been hard to hear but the beast heard it loud and clear. A moment later he tilted his head back a little then began spewing his black fire at the village as he flew above it.

I could hear the screams of the villagers as they turned to ash from the huge heat of the fire. This was the sound that pleased me for years now, and it never disappointed me. And suddenly, my frustration was all gone.

And in less than 5 minutes the whole village was burned down. I walked through it while looking around. I stopped walking and looked down. In front of me, on the ground was the skeleton of a corpse. It looked like it was just a small child. Her, or his bones were all black. Slowly, I smiled and my eyes turned dark. I heard my beast loudly roar from behind.

'This is what I like to see.'

Day 4

I smiled as I watched my boys play in the garden. Akuma was sitting by my side, reading one of his books. I leaned against my chair and took a deep breath.

"You seem to be happy." Akuma said while keeping his gaze on the book. I looked at him before looking back at my boys.

"Hmm. I guess you could say that." I answered. I felt Akuma look at me with a confused expression but then his expression changed.

"It was you who burned that village yesterday. The black cloud could be seen from miles away." I straightened up and my smile faded away.

"Yes. It was me." I said with a straight face. I watched as both Amurai and Amuka run to the back of the garden and slowly faded away. To the point where I couldn't see them anymore.

"Did you... Let him out?" Akuma asked. There was a hint of hesitation in his words. I looked at him.

"No." I noticed that Akumas grip on the book tightened a bit. That was when my expression softened a bit.

"Are you scared of him?" Akuma looked at me with slightly wide eyes but quickly looked away.

"I'm not. It's just... I don't trust him. I don't trust the fact that he'd help us with whatever is coming." He truthfully answered. I sighed.

"I don't trust him as well." This gained his attention and he looked at me.

"He is a mass murderer. But for some reason, out of millions of people, he decided to save me. And protected me in times where I could be dead." I looked Akuma straight in the eyes.

"He will do as I say. Only because without me, he would've been dead. And without him, I would be dead as well." Silence fell between the two of us before Akuma decided to break it. He opened his mouth but before he could speak he got interrupted.

"Mommy look!" I fixed my gaze at Amuka who was happily running towards me with something red in his little palm. I stood up with a smile and walked towards him. Once he was close to me I kneeled in front of him.

"What is it?" I asked. Shy, he played with whatever he had in his hand. But then he smiled and showed me the thing he had in his hand. And my smile... Faded away.

"Akuma..." I called out. I took it from his hands and stood up. Akuma walked to my side and looked at what I was holding. Slowly, I turned around and showed him what I had in my hand. His eyes grew wide. Both of us quickly recognized what this was. It was Amurai's bracelet. The only thing that was missing... Was Amurai.

"Amuka. Where is your brother?" I kneeled to his level and placed both of my hands on his shoulders. Amuka blinked at me before closing his eyes and giving me a warm smile.

"He's in the back of the garden. We were playing and then something happened... I don't know what but Nii-san then fell to the ground. And now he's not moving!" He smiled. And for me, the world stopped moving. It took me a while to process things before I stood up, and run past Amuka towards the back of the garden.

I could hear how Akuma run after me. My grip was tight around the small bracelet that had a few marks of blood on it. Suddenly, I came to a halt. Akuma made his way to me and then stopped as well. He gritted his teeth before running in front of me while I just stood. Completely frozen.

I watched as Akuma run towards Amurai's lying figure. He kneeled next to him and took him in his arms. Immediately, trying to feel his pulse. I watched as Akuma's hands slowly fell to the ground, he raised his head to look at me. And his expression said it all.

I fell on my knees. This never happened in years, but my eyes welled up with tears that quickly became to fall out of my glossy eyes. I placed both of my hands on my face and threw my face to the ground. Screaming into them louder than I did before.

(Third person pov)

Both Isamu's and Mirai's ears immediately perked up. They recognized this scream. Immediately, both of them turned around and run towards the garden as fast as they could. Both of them met each other in the huge hall that led towards the garden.

"You heard that, didn't you?" Mirai gave the side-eye to Isamu as they run. Isamu nodded. They made their way out of the castle and followed the loud cries. Both of them getting anxious as they got close.

Then they saw Akuma. They slowed down a bit. Mirai narrowed her eyes a bit and then both of them saw it. Akuma was by (Y/N)'s side, holding her close as she cried. And then they saw something that they never wanted to see. (Y/N) was hugging Amurai's dead body as close as she could. While Amuka stood by her side, confused.

Isamu placed both of her hands on her lips as her eyes welled up with tears as well. Mirai gritted her teeth and run towards them. Hugging (Y/N) almost immediately. Isamu did the same thing, hugging her as tight as she could while crying with her. Akuma let go and began to look around. Anger boiling in his veins.

They have never seen her like this. So broken. Crying so hard. Her hands were shaking as she held Amurai in her hands. His blood, leaving marks on her hand and clothes. There was nothing worst that could've happened to her. Losing one of her children was her biggest fear. And that fear became the truth.

A crack from behind the bushes could be heard. Akuma never turned around so quickly before, with the scariest glare he ever had. A figure jumped out of the bushes. Holding a sword in their hands while charging at the Queen. She was too slow to react to it. Turning her head around, she saw the sword in front of her face. Her eyes were wide once they met with the red ones. Akuma tried his best to get there on time but he knew that he won't make it. And when everything seemed lost, another figure jumped out of the bushes. But they recognized this one.

Sukuna was wearing a death glare on his face once he threw the man that was trying to kill the Queen to the other side. Standing up on his feet while clenching his fists in a tight grip. Within a second he was standing in front of the man, holding him in the air with his hand. His fingers digging into the man's neck. Sukuna could kill him right then and there, but he didn't. He let him fall to the ground and knocked him out.

Turning around, he made his way towards the Queen. (Y/N) run towards him, still crying. She threw herself on Sukuna while wrapping her shaky hands around his figure. Sukuna held her in a tight grip while she cried into his chest. He ran his hand up and down her back while running his finger through her hair, trying to calm her down. Failing miserably.

"Mirai." Sukuna called out. Mirai was paying attention in no time.

"You know where to take that bastard. Dont kill him though." Mirai looked at Sukuna with a confused expression. Sukuna's red eyes grew a bit dark.

"I want to torture him before he dies." That was something Mirai understood. He was the father and for Sukuna, it was only natural to feel rage.

Akuma was watching as all of them walked away. Isamu was leading (Y/N) and Amuka to the castle while still comforting her. Mirai was pulling the man by his hair on the ground and also led him to the castle. While Skuna was kneeling by his son's dead body. Akuma watched as Sukuna picked Amurai into his arms and carried him away, leaving Akuma alone.

Akuma felt horrible. He couldn't even imagine what (Y/N) felt right now. But Akuma had other things to do. He walked towards the place where Amurai was previously lying. There was no way. Nobody could get through the guards. Unless... Somebody let him in.

Time skip

(Y/N) was sitting on her chair that was by the fire. Her eyes were all puffy from the long hours of crying. She was holding Amuka as close as she could. Afraid that something will happen to him as well.

"Mommy?" The soft voice of her son echoed through the room. The only thing she did was stroke his hair softly.

"Where is Nii-san?" He asked. (Y/N) hardly swallowed. Taking a deep breath she began to speak.

"He is not with us anymore..." That was the only thing she could tell him. Nothing more, nothing less. She doesn't have the power to do anything right now. The sun was slowly rising from behind the mountains. It was already a new day.

Sukuna was leaning against the wall while keeping his gaze on the man that was sitting in front of him. Having his hands and legs tied.

"So..." Sukuna spoke. The man raised his head and looked at him. Sukuna walked out of the shadows, in front of him.

"How do you want to die?" He cracked his fingers. The man's eyes widened before his expression changed. He got angry.

"I did what you told me to! I killed him! Just like you told me to!" The man screamed. Sukuna burned holes through his body with his glare.

"No. I said this 'Kill them both'... When did I say to kill only one? You will pay for it... And I will kill him myself." The man's eyes widened. He began to struggle. Sukuna was already prepared to kill him when suddenly... He could hear some kind of rumbling.

"Do you know what is today?" The man spoke. Sukuna looked down at him a bit confused.

"... Today is the 5th day..."

(Y/N)'s pov)

As soon as I heard the rumbling I placed Amuka on the ground and stood up. Walking towards the window and looking out, I couldn't see anything.

'I have to get higher.'

I turned around and kissed Amuka's forehead before walking away. Once I got on one of the towers I jumped down. The dragon wings creating on my back. I flew high in the sky till I came to the highest tower that my castle had. And now I could see. Now I could see the huge army full of sorcerers.
