Short Story : A guardians rage - hells chapter "The death of the king and queen pt 2"

It was after the failed death of Issac forge that Maria closed her eyes as she teleported out of hell to be alone for a bit. In hell if she mourned his death her blood lust would take a persona of its own and kill the rest of the realms. Lately her powers had been unstable. The loss and death of her family members played a big part in that. Not to mention seeing all the couples being cozy served as a big reminder that she was still alone. Normally her Uncle would help by removing and purging the blood lust by having her fight him. But now that he too had perished it had been building up. So much so it made her sick to her stomach. As she closed her eyes she sat cross legged. She could hear Black Jack's taunts from within the shadows. It could not be helped this time around. Her realm and all the nine hells would be destroyed. While she was a guardian her mind raced at the chaos that would ensue. Taking a deep breath she attempted to calm her breathing. "Dammit...Issac.....you and your stupidity......you don't get it....." she thought and she released all the energy that had been gathering inside of her. "Because of what you have done everyone wants your head." At that thought she thought of Maou. Long ago in another life he had given her his seal to protect that realm. The very same one in which Issac had taken from her. Which was why half of her arm was now pitch black. The ring he had given her when she had helped him bound her to his realm. She couldn't escape it nor did she try but she had loved him nonetheless. As tears slipped down her face she remembered Maou turning to ashes as he cheekily smiled up at her. His last words echoing in her head. "One day little frost you will understand." The hell ruler said as he had kissed the girls forehead.  "I will see you again my dear don't worry."

Maria cried as she looked down on the ring which appeared on her hand in the form of a shadow wrapping itself around her arm as a serpent. 

"Dammit you cheeky devil....you knew....didn't you...." she could almost hear him chuckle in response as she said that. 

 But it was just the wind. As she stared up at the stars she wondered to herself. "If Ice knows what I did....he'll likely kill me. Better than living I suppose." Maria thought to herself as she closed her eyes. "Unlike Issac and Jasmine no one would care if I just vanished like a ghost..huh Maou? I get what you mean now. Your realm is a lonely place to rule." 

With that she fell asleep. 

Maou watched from the astral realm as his little frost slept. She knew his pain and burden now. "Little frost .....you cry...heh thats something new....you have a heart...." 

With that the past hell ruler removed the barrier on Maria's memories. As she slept the marks on her arm burned a bright blue. A protection barrier to protect her on what was about to come.
