Everyone who knew Malia for Twenty three years ago was surprised to see Malia.
“Malia, you are still alive?” Anjali asked, with so much surprised on her face. Vanya was still unconscious.
“Yes I am alive Anjali. Osvaldo has kept me locked up for twenty three years because I know what kind of a man he is. He is not what he claims he is. He is a bad man in sheep clothing. I am not the real mother of Cheng like he made you all believe, and he is not Cheng’s father either. Marcus and Rina are the real parents of Cheng, and he murdered them just to keep the throne to himself. The death of both Waylon and Narmada is all his fault!!! He is evil!!!” Malia shouted, and everyone gasped in surprised.
Cheng almost became paralyzed after hearing the whole truth from Malia and Tatiana, and tears kept dropping from his eyes. Everything was just happening too fast, and it’s rendering him speechless.
? He is an evil man
? He has no right to be King of Marcellus
? How could he have ki||ed his only daughter
The people available in the palace murmured, including the ministers of Maelstrom who came to witness Narmada’s death.
Osvaldo clenched his fists with so much anger. “I won’t let you get away with this Tatiana, Do your job Isha!!!” Osvaldo screamed, and before anyone could say a word, Cheng transformed into a wild scaring demon.
Screams filled the whole palace, as they ran for their lives.
“Destroy her” Isha said performing powerful incantation.
“I am going to destroy you” Cheng said in multiple voices, and both he and Tatiana entered into a different place entirely.
They were still on earth, but it was totally different from the kind of Earth they are used to. It was quiet, and filled with Green colors background.
“Cheng I…”
Before Tatiana could complete her sentences, Cheng use his dark magic on her, and she fell to the ground.
“Destroy her, and don’t even leave the slightest piece of her bones” Isha said laughing like a witch.
She was inside Cheng’s body, and his demon power has increased, making him so powerful.
“You won’t be able to escape from this Tatiana, because I am going to destroy you, you immortal” Cheng said, in multiple voices, and use his dark powers on Tatiana.
Tatiana flew to a distance coughing so badly. She stood to her feet and looked at Cheng. He was totally different from the demon she has seen a couple of times. It was as if his demon upgraded.
“I guess his demon became more powerful because Narmada was use as a sacrifice. I have to turn a blind eye in order to remove the demon from Cheng’s body” Tatiana said.
Cheng tried to attack her again with his dark powers, but Tatiana waged it with her white powers.
“I can see you are really not human, but let’s see if you will be able to survive this” Cheng said and use more of his dark powers on Tatiana.
Tatiana fell to the ground, and before she could stand to her feet, Cheng use more of his dark powers on her, and she kept landing to different directions.
She tried standing up to her feet, but she couldn’t, and her mouth kept puking out blood.
“I thought you are an immortal with great powers, but you are just an ordinary immortal with little powers” Cheng said, and fling Tatiana away with his dark powers.
He was the one, but he wasn’t the one speaking, Isha herself was the one talking since she was inside Cheng, and both Cheng’s demon and Isha became more powerful, due to the blood and rites sacrifice she made.
Tatiana’s face was filled with so many bruises and blood, and she was slowly getting weak.
Tatiana managed to stand on her feet, glaring at Cheng. She wasn’t actually glaring at Cheng, she was glaring at the demon and Isha that was inside Cheng’s body.
“Don’t underestimate the powers given to me by the heavens Isha!!!” Tatiana shouted at Isha, and Cheng smirked, indicating it was Isha and the demon inside of him that smirked.
“Let’s see what a mere immortal like you can do” He said in multiple voices and tried to use his dark powers on Tatiana, but Tatiana waged it with her white powers.
He tried using his powers on her, but Tatiana kept waging it with her powers.
“This is the end of your wickedness Isha, Cheng is going to be free from you” Tatiana said and use her powers on Cheng, and he flew to a distance.
She knew she was hurting Cheng, but she had to do this in order to free Cheng from the demon.
“With the powers invested in me as guidance of the forest and seven seas, I command you to leave Cheng’s body” Tatiana said. Her body slowly transformed into white, and she used more of her powers on Cheng.
After so many pushing of her powers, the demon finally left Cheng’s body. They came back to the real world, and back to the palace. Isha tried to attack Tatiana, but Tatiana used her powers on her, and she flew and landed on a tree, losing consciousness, and also losing all her dark powers
Tatiana saw the demon which have been inside Cheng’s body for years, circulating around, and she walked closer to it, and her hands shined white.
“You aren’t allowed to live among humans, so you are prohibited from the human world forever” Tatiana said, and destroyed the demon for good.
After she destroyed the demon, Tatiana became very weak, and she sees herself slowly fading away, and this time for real.
Tears falls down her eyes, as she looked for Cheng. She saw him lying unconscious on the ground, and she quickly rushed to him.
“Cheng” She said in a crying voice, tapping him.
Cheng woke up, and his eyes widened when he saw Tatiana fading away like aches.
“What going on on Tiana, why are you fading away like ashes?” He asked with misty eyes.
Tatiana hiccupped in tears, cupping his face.
“Everything you heard about me is true, I am not human, and I am fading away like ashes, because I chose to save you. I interfered with human lives and that’s why I am disappearing for good, but what matters now is that you are free from the demon inside of you”
“No. You can’t leave Tiana, take back the demon inside my body. I can live with a demon inside me, what I can’t live without is you, please don’t leave me, I can’t leave without you, my life will be meaningless and void without you” Cheng said, crying.
“You have to live without me Cheng. Because once I disappear, I no longer exist in this world. I am sorry for distancing myself from you, I only did that because I don’t want my white power to harm you since you possesses a dark power before. I love you Cheng always remember that”
“Then if you love me stay with me. You can’t say you love me, and then leave, I won’t be able to survive it, please I am begging you Tiana, don’t leave me” Cheng said, crying.
“I wish I can stay with you forever, but this is the price I have to pay for interfering with human lives for the second time. I have no regret because I saved the man I love from the demon dwelling inside if him. You are free now Cheng, and you won’t be labelled as a demon anymore, and since I will no longer be part of this world, you should be happy without me”
“Tiana, please don’t leave me” Cheng cried so painfully, as he saw some part of Tatiana’s body gone already.
“I love you so much Cheng” She said, with a crying voice, and kissed him for the very last time.
Cheng closed his eyes and kissed her back, he tried to wrapped his arms around her, but he hugged air instead.
He slowly opened his eyes, and sees some ashes flying on the air. Tatiana has left the earth for good, and she no longer exist.
It was then the memories of how they met ten years ago, came back to him, and he clearly remember how they ran around the garden when they were still kids.
All their moments together began flashing back to him, the hugs, the kisses, and their happy moments together.
But it’s all going to be a memory because Tatiana no longer exist. He won’t get to see her beautiful face, neither her beautiful smile.
He will no longer kiss her lips, hug her or tell her how much he loves her, because she’s gone.
His Tiana is gone, and gone forever, thinking about that, Cheng broke into a heartbreaking tears.
“Tiana!!!” He screamed out her name, and passed out.
