The Spirit of The Dark Kingdom Chapter 9

Last time on The Spirit of The Dark Kingdom, the doctor and Anika find out that the new babies, Zero and Hanabi aren't twins, but just natural siblings by two years apart. Anika and the doctor have come so close that they had decided to seal the moment together with a sensational, but incomplete kiss.

The servant had informed the doctor of King Aireth's request to bring him the baby. The doctor only brings him Anika's son and introduces King Aireth to him. Though, with an intention of his own, King Aireth catches the doctor and Anika red handed with Hanabi. Getting into a battle of the doctor vs King Aireth, the doctor had won, only for King Aireth to decide that Hanabi and Anika will be executed and the doctor to be punished by variation.

With determination to save Anika and Hanabi, the doctor then proposes the idea of an escape plan for them. Will his plan to keep his loved ones safe prevail and be successful? Lets find out.

It is now the upcoming night, the night before the execution tomorrow, and the doctor has fully planned out an escape route for Anika and Hanabi. He' going to take Zero with him just in case, wanting to avoid all possible faults that can mess his plan up. The babies are quietly and softly cooing at each other, being as cute as usual. Anika is watching them, gently smiling, worried for Hanabi and her new eye. The doctor had made sure everything was ready and packed, but was just waiting for it to get dark and for the castle to be clear by the majority amount.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Doctor:*Anika, do you think you and Hanabi are ready to leave?

Anika:*Heh, I can tell you right now..Hanabi wouldn't have a clue of what's going on... If she did, I could only hope that she'd forget later in her years. I honestly can't say I'm ready. I know it would seem weird because of the whole "my daughter and I are gonna be executed tomorrow" thing, but...I just can't...*starts tearing up* I don't want to leave... I don't want to leave you....*tears start falling down her face* I love you...

Doctor:**he goes to her, hugging her, holding her close* Anika... I understand... I honestly do... I love you too, and I honestly don't want you to leave...but I don't want to lose you and Hanabi either... Your life is more important to me than my desires of being with you. Even though it doesn't feel like it, this is for the best.

Anika:**cries more, her face buried in the doctor's chest*

Doctor:**keeps holding her, trying to calm her down* Please calm down my love.. Everything will be ok......'I promise'...

Anika:**lightly blushes from him calling her his love, slowly calming down in his hold*...Ok....

*They continue to hold each other, sharing one last moment together, after a little, they finally, but reluctantly back away, but not that far from each other, holding hands*

Doctor:*Are you feeling okay?

Anika:*I'm feeling a little better. What about you?

Doctor:*I'm hanging in there as long as you are alright.

Anika:*Alright.

Doctor:*I'm sorry to bring it up again, but we can't stay here any longer.

Anika:**looks even more upset than before again*

Doctor:*...Anika?

Anika:*...*looks at the doctor again*

Doctor:**he goes to Anika, holds her close again, but this time, he crashes his lips with her, kissing her for the first time, eyes closed, his affection for her defining itself proudly in the kiss*

Anika:**eyes widen as she's taken by surprise for a moment. She willingly gives in and kisses him back, closing her eyes, holding him close. She more recessive and lets him lead her through this moment with him*

*The doctor had deepened the kiss to enhance it, sharing this with her for some minutes. When they reluctantly breaks the kiss, their spirits had ignited a spark of spirit and hope within them. they smile at each other, nuzzle each other, and decide to speak final words before their separation*

Doctor:*Anika, when I had heard of your arrival to the king, I hadn't thought anything about it. I felt bad that you were to be for his desire, but I never realized that the maiden he took for granted was a truly beautiful young lady such as you. The moment I had seen you, I realized that King Aireth had taken a poor soul and twisted a possible future for it. I felt terrible. Hearing what he had done to you, I had felt worse. I had wanted to meet you, but was busy at the moments, imagining that I'd get to see you soon. Then you had came to me that one day, and my spirit had brightened up just from the sight of you. You are the one angel that has shown me love, dedication to the one I care for, and so much more. I thank you, and I hope one day that we cross each other's paths and get to be together.

Anika:**blushes more* Doctor Lin-quan, when I first arrived to the castle, I felt like I had made a mistake, and after my encounter with the king, I definitely felt like that. When I had met you, I didn't know what to think. After a while, I felt myself coming closer to you. You're always so sweet and kind to me. If I had a chance to leave earlier, I would've stayed for you. The light from when I had became a fallen angel had greatly dimmed until you came into my life and brightened it up again. I couldn't thank you as much as I want to, but I hope that someday that I can make it up to you on the day we possibly cross paths again. Until then, all we can do is hope for the best of a bright future for us.

Doctor:*I hope the same~ *sighs* Are you ready my love? We have to go now.

Anika:**sighs, gets her stuff and picks up Hanabi, kisses her forehead and takes a deep breath* Yes, I'm ready even though I don't want to leave.

Doctor:**picks up Zero and bounces him a little to get him to giggle* I don't want you two to leave either, but remember that 'it's for the best'.

Anika:**nods* I will.

The doctor and Anika then head out with the babies, quiet and calm. They sneak through the palace dungeon where they had been in Anika's cell. They manage to slip through the halls, past all and any of the palace workers, working together not to get caught.

Eventually after a lot of sneaking around, dodging, hiding, and communication with each other, they make it in the actual palace. Carefully working to sneak through everything. As they are going through the halls, they come across a room with the door open and the light on. They realize that the room belongs to the palace blacksmith. He and a maid are together conversing in the room.

Maid:**gives the blacksmith a cup of coffee* Here you go. How are you feeling? I saw the trouble they were putting you through, and I don't think you deserved that. I understand about tomorrow, but you're no slave, and they have no right to be so rough with you.

Blacksmith:**takes a sip and sighs* Thank you, I needed this. It's all so much work, and this is quite a lot, even for me. I know that I can have a shipment of 9 million long fresh iron bars ready in 10 minutes, and over 20 thousand swords made for more than 60 individual armies in under a day, but...to have the execution set ready for tomorrow...it hurts me to have to be the one to hand them the items to execute Lin-quan, his lover, and one of the babies... It's not that it's physically difficult, but it's emotionally and mentally hard for me. Yet the workers all come so harshly to me and order me as if it's normal. They don't understand... No one here does and it annoys me so much. I had to hold myself back from snapping at them.

Maid:*I won't say that I understand because I don't and I know it, but I'll do my best to be there for you. I mean that no matter what.

Blacksmith:*Thank you love. You're so beautiful. How has your day been?

Maid:**blushes* You're such a flatterer, and handsome as well. It's been something at least. The girls can't get the execution out of their mind. They feel that they don't deserve this.

Blacksmith:*No one does.

Maid:* Of course, but we can't say that despite how much we want to.

Blacksmith:*I know...

The doctor frowns from what he hears the blacksmith saying, wanting to go to him and hug him, but he doesn't let it get to him. They continue to sneak through the halls and rooms of the palace.

They come across the attraction room, which is completely empty, only to come across the execution items for the ceremony tomorrow.

Anika:**whispers* This isn't good...

Doctor:**whispers* This is exactly why I'm getting you two out of here.

They continue through the room quietly, through more halls, through the palace until they finally make it into the court yard where the gates are. The carefully observe the surroundings at the moment before proceeding. They see that palace soldiers are blocking the gate out of the palace.

The doctor plans a new pathway through the court yard, and they carefully proceed. As they continue on their path, King Aireth was watching in the court yard and from the corner of his eye, had caught a hint of Anika's hair and the doctor's lab coat. He smirks and lets the soldiers know.

The doctor and Anika keep sneaking, and immediately hide when they see the soldiers moving, but can't tell where they're going. The doctor takes extreme precaution, and they continue to sneak with much more caution.

The doctor and Anika finally make it to the gates, not coming across any guards. They hug each other and the babies gently coo at each other. Hanabi and Zero hold hands, softly giggling at each other. They look so cute together. Anika smiles gently at them along with the doctor.

Anika:**whispers quietly* I'll miss you so much.

Doctor:**whispers quietly as well* I'll miss you too. *They kiss again* Let's get you out of here.

Anika:**nods* Please take good care of Zero.

Doctor:**nods* I will, I promise. *he kisses Hanabi's forehead*

Anika:**kisses Zero's forehead*

Soldier:*Halt!!

Anika:**gasps. The rest of the soldiers surround them, letting King Aireth come in front of them, smirking*

King Aireth:**chuckles* What's this? Eloping?

Doctor:*Sadly, no, but good guess on something that you'll never get to do.

King Aireth:*Whatever. Doctor, it's now decided that you will be executed for this tomorrow.

Doctor:*I don't care as long as you don't harm Anika and her daughter.

King Aireth:*Oh no, she's still being executed along with her daughter as well.

Doctor:*Then you'll have to go through me first.

King Aireth:*I don't have to do such a thing when I have soldiers by my side.

Doctor:*You wouldn't dare.

King Aireth:*Oh I would. I'm over the idea of losing an old friend already. You have become nothing but disrespectful to me and I won't accept it anymore as your king.

Doctor:*How is it disrespect when you're trying to correct an unjust king who should've been overthrown a long time ago? You have such an ego and it's more than just uncanny for your actions. It's ridiculous.

King Aireth:**is very angered* Soldiers, dispose of the peasant and her daughter and lock the doctor up tightly in chains in a cell!!!

Soldiers:**immediately gets started on what they're ordered to do*

Doctor:**immediately helps Anika and Hanabi over the gate* ANIKA, RUN!!!

Anika:*But, doctor-

Doctor:**tears are streaming down his face* PLEASE!!! RUN!!! RUN AND NEVER COME BACK!!!

Anika:**tears are streaming down her face. Arrows are flying at her and Hanabi. She immediately starts running out of the kingdom*

Anika had kept running with a now crying Hanabi until she had ran past the premise line of the palace. King Aireth had then banished Anika and Hanabi from ever returning to the palace. The doctor had been defeated by the soldiers, protecting the now crying Zero no matter what. He was taken to a cell, locked up very tightly and Zero was placed in a separate cell by himself. The doctor, upset that Anika's gone, gently smiles to himself, happy that she and Hanabi are safe.
