Concordia: Part 3 (Closed)

With a world in so much turmoil, why not take it as your own?

Twelve months have passed since the last major battle for the crown. A lot has stayed the same. There is still unrest amongst the people, a desire for change that didn?t happen with the last uprising. Yet sides have changed, relationships have developed and power has been accumulated.

When the Princess tried to take power back for her family it had been a blood bath. The battle had taken place outside the walled major city surrounding the castle where a smell of death still lingers. There were lives lost on both sides and not all were those who possessed special skills. Anyone that was caught up in the battle ended up with an injury of some description but most lost their life. It left the country crippled and in mourning. The uprising had been a failure and at the end Valius was still seated on the throne he had occupied the day before. Unlike last time no lives were spared as ever last one of those who fought against Valius was murdered. He would not be making that mistake again and it sent a clear warning out to those who thought they would try to overthrow him.

Cleo and Demetrius had fought alongside Valius when the time had come. It hadn?t been their decision as Cleo was yet to find the strength and power to dislodge her father from Demetrius? mind. On many occasions she had tried to best her father in a mental game of chance but each time he had come out on top. It always left her exhausted but that didn?t mean she was going to give up. Cleo still felt the same hold her father had on her when she was a little girl and she needed to break this. The only way she was really going to prove to everyone that she was her own person was to cut that last connection to her father, especially when he still took delight in invading Demetrius? mind and taking over his personality.

Despite her father's involvement in their life, Cleo and Demetrius hardly spoke about him. The two of them had argued a lot around the time of the final battle because of Cleo and the way she couldn't pick a side. Even though they really didn't have a choice in the matter, if they did have a choice then Cleo hadn't known which side she would back. This uncertainty had frustrated Demetrius as he had always hated the way Valius had manipulated his daughter and the way that Cleo had let him. Eventually, and after many battle scenes occuring throughout the castle grounds it had become apparent that this was just something they wouldn't discuss.

One year on, they were still living together in Demetrius' castle and still very much in love. Still there was the occasional arguement but then again this was Demetrius and Cleo... When hadn't they argued?
