Born To Rule

Meanwhile Accalia fighting Gunner and Sedrick

In Malik’s head: In a matter of seconds, it was all over. With the help of Lyca, Accalia had ripped Gunner and Sedrick apart. And I could tell by the smirk on her face, that she was loving every minute of it. After the carnage, she just stood there…silently. Looking at their remains scattered all around her. Their blood dripping off of her pitch black coat and yet, she never looked up at me. I had no idea who this she-wolf was standing in front of me. It certainly wasn't my Accalia.

In Accalia’s head: As soon as their hearts stop beating, I felt a wave of contentment was over me. I couldn't stop grinning. He was gone. Gunner was finally gone. We did it, Milena. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain in my chest and I was dragged back to reality. I now faced a new world, one where Milena no longer existed and my heart couldn't bear it. I could only feel hatred, pain and desire. A desire to kill. I felt betrayed. Betrayed by all those that were supposed to care for me, nurture me…love me.

Lyca: “Accalia, give me full control and together, we can get rid of all of those who ever did us wrong. I'm all you need now.”

In Malik’s head: All of a sudden, Accalia looked up and gazed right at me. Her eyes pierced right forward, as if she was listening for something. But what?

Lakota: “I'm so relieved we found you!! ACCALIA!!”

Malik: “SHE’S GONE!! Where the hell did she go?!”

Yura: “It’s started.”

Malik: “What do you mean?! What started?”

Akna: “Accalia has made the fatal mistake of giving Lyca full control.”

Yura: “Now Lyca won't stop until she has destroyed everyone and everything.”

Malik: “Oh my God!! THE TOWN!! I have to stop her!!”

Lakota: “MALIK, WAIT!! Here, take this. Be careful out there, brother. Bring my sister home.”

Malik: “I promise I will.”

Ruth: “Not to sound rude or anything…what are we standing around for?! Let's go help him.”

Cheyenne: “She's right.”

Lakota: “Then what are we waiting for?”

In Malik’s head: Everything was backwards now. It was solely down to me to prevent Accalia from becoming a monster. This world was already filled with enough evil beings. So a soul as pure as hers needed to be protected. I just hope that I'm not too late.

Malik: “NO!! (the town in flames)”

In Malik’s head: What have you done?! We need to find Accal…Lyca now!!

In Accalia’s head: What have I done?!

Lyca: “You mean what have we done. We made everyone pay.”

In Accalia’s head: These people were innocent. They didn't deserve this fate.

Lyca: “Everyone deserves this fate.”

In Accalia’s head: Lyca, I'm stopping this now. Give me back my body.

Lyca: “I'm afraid I can't do that. This is my body now.”

In Accalia’s head: You can't do this.

Lyca: “Watch me. I'm far more superior than you. It's you that needs me. Now, I'm gonna send you into the darkest part of our mind. Goodbye, Accalia.”

In Accalia’s head: LYCA!!

Cheyenne: “We're too late.”

Yura: “Don't stand there. We need to search for survivors. Akna, help me put out these fires.”

Akna: “Yes, anaana.”

In Yura’s head: There's only one way to stop Lyca now.

In Accalia’s head: Where the hell am I?! I can't see, smell or hear anything.

Accalia: “Hello?! Someone help me!!”

Molly: “What happened?! Mommy!! Mommy, where are you?!”

Lyca: “Well, well, well. Look what we have here.”

Sarah: “Don't you dare touch my child!! What the hell are you?!”

Lyca: “Death.”

Malik: “Hold it right there, Lyca. Move and I'll shoot.”

Lyca: “You don't know how to use that thing and besides, you know a mere bullet can't kill me.”

Malik: “A silver bullet, soaked in wolfsbane straight to the heart might just work. Go, now!!”

Sarah: “Thank you.”

Lyca: “I'll make you pay for that!!”

Malik: “Accalia, I know you're in there. Please, somehow, some way, come back to me.”

Lyca: “This is amusing. For your information…Accalia, is me. We are one being but she always had forgiveness and kindness in her heart. She was holding me back so I had to sent her away.”

Malik: “Away?! Away where?!”

Lyca: “Accalia’s gone. I don't need anyone except myself.”

Malik: “Lyca, please. We’re mates.”

Lyca: “You mean we were mates. However, sadly for you, I'm not bound to anyone. Not anymore. And since I have no more use for you…I'll take great pleasure in eliminating you.”

In Malik’s head: This is not good. (in Accalia’s mind)

In Accalia’s head: Why can't I escape this place? Giving Lyca full control was the biggest mistake of my life. I just wanted to avenge Milena. But I lost myself in the process. It should’ve been me that died.

Accalia: “Where am I now?!”

Lilith: “Accalia…”

Accalia: “Mom?! Dad?! This isn't real. This is all in my head.”

Logan: “No, sweetheart. We're really here. We have brought you to our world.”

In Accalia’s head: No way.

Accalia: “I've always dreamed of this moment.”

Lilith: “Dreamt of what, sweetheart?”

Accalia: “To know what a cuddle for my parents felt like.”

Lilith: “We are so proud of you.”

Accalia: “Of me? Why would you be proud of me? I failed you. I let everyone down.”

Logan: “The moon goddess chose you to right the wrongs of the past and you succeeded.”

Accalia: “But at what cost?! I've lost so many friends along the way all because of me.”

Logan: “Wrong again, my daughter.”

Lilith: “They gave their lives for you because they loved you. We all love you.”

Accalia: “I wish you could always be with me.”

Lilith: “And we will be, sweetheart. We've always been there with you every step of the way. You transformed from a very shy she wolf, into a powerful queen.”

Accalia: “But what if I'm not good at being queen?”

Lilith: “It's your birthright. Don't let anyone take that away from you. Let Lyca know you're in charge and that she answers to you.”

Accalia: “Thank you.”

Logan: “It's time for us to go now.”

Accalia: “I understand. I love you both so much.”

Logan: “We love you, sweetheart.”

Lilith: “I love you my strong, beautiful girl. We will always be watching over you.”

Malik’s Wolf: “I've never encountered anything like her. She's way too powerful for me.”

In Malik’s head: It’s okay, Noctis. You fought well. I knew deep down that we wouldn't be able to hurt her anyway.

Lyca: “Any last words?!”

Malik: “Accalia, if you can hear me. Please know that I'm sorry and that I love you.”

Lyca: “What the hell?! THIS IS MY BODY NOW!!”

Accalia: “I am the rightful Queen and you will submit to me.”

Lyca: “NOO!!”

Malik: “Lyca?!”

Accalia: “No, Malik. It’s me.”

Malik: “ACCALIA!! It’s really you!! You came back to me.”

Accalia: “I'll always come back to you, I love you.”

Malik: “Accalia…”

Accalia: “What is it?”

Malik: “Kiss me.”

In Accalia’s head: Somehow amongst the chaos, me and Malik found our way back to each other. He's never kissed me with such urgency. Like he was savoring the taste of my lips. As if it was the very last time. The kiss made me feel dizzy with lust, like his touch swept me off my feet. His scent engulfed my senses. I could feel his strong arms, pulling me towards him and I finally felt like I was home. The truth was, Malik was the light always saving me from the darkness. Without him, I was incomplete. My place was with him. My heart would forever belong to him.

Malik: “Accalia, would you be mine again?”

Accalia: “I thought you would never ask.”

Malik: “I love you, my little wolf.”

Accalia: “I love you, Malik. Forever.”
