The courtyard erupted into chaos.
Light clashed with shadow. Magic tore through the air like thunder. The palace walls groaned under the weight of centuries-old fury.
Queen Ayela stood tall, her shield of light glowing around her — but it was cracking. Vishkaniya’s power surged like a tidal wave, relentless and cruel.
“You were always weaker, Ayela,” Vishkaniya hissed, pressing forward. “You had beauty. You had the crown. And I had nothing but his love — stolen from me. Do you know what it feels like to be second in every way?”
Ayela’s knees trembled, but her voice did not.
“You had a sister who loved you. And you threw it away.”
Vishkaniya’s laugh was bitter, jagged. “I threw it away the day he looked at her instead of me. I gave my soul to darkness for the chance to take back what was mine.”
Ayela’s shield shattered.
She fell to one knee, her breath ragged. Vishkaniya raised her hand again — ready to strike the final blow.
But then — the amulet around Elara’s neck blazed.
A light burst forth, brighter than the sun, flooding the courtyard in gold. The shadows recoiled. Vishkaniya staggered back, shielding her eyes.
Elara rose from the ground, lifted by the surge of power. Her torn dress shimmered into a gown of white and silver. Her hair flowed like moonlight, like her mother’s had in the old portraits.
She was no longer the lost girl from the valley. She was Queen Elara, daughter of Amethyst.
“For my mother. For my father. For every life you destroyed,” Elara said, her voice ringing like a bell of judgment, “your reign ends now.”
The amulet’s light surged forward, binding Vishkaniya in chains of pure gold. She screamed, thrashing, but the light held firm.
Ayela stepped beside Elara, her voice steady and clear.
“For killing a queen. For killing a king. For orphaning a child. You are banished beyond the Veil for eternity.”
Vishkaniya’s final scream echoed through the Realm — a sound of rage, regret, and ruin.
And then she was gone.
Swallowed by the void.
The courtyard fell silent. The shadows lifted. The golden light returned.
Elara stood in the center, her crown gleaming, her eyes fierce.
The Realm of Light had a queen once more
