When they finally landed close to the city they all got out and stood with the water at their feet soon Melody stood before the water
“Don’t follow me you wait until I come back up on no condition follow me” she said
“And what if you don’t come back…what then?” Jamiey said he took her hands
“Turn away and don’t come back” she said giving his head a little kiss before she jumped into the water and she disappeared from their view she swam down and stood in front of the gates and walked straight in the city was empty and as she stood at the palace he pushed open the doors and stormed in nothing short of an army was waiting for her with a head man stood that she knew “I want to see My mother Beta Waterlilly” she said
“Too bad you mother is dead as is your father killed by our queen and if it be to her you will follow” the man replied
“Take me to my aunt” she told them
They took her to her aunt as soon as they felt Arowana spoke “you have a nerve showing your face here” she said
Melody didn’t show her face or make a sound
“You stand before a queen you will answer”
Melody still didn’t say a word
Arowana slapped Melody in the face and held her head up
“You are not a queen and you never will be” she said
“Then I will try you for high treason” Arowana said
“You are not half the woman your mother was or your sister" she told her
Arowana stood back on her throne like a small child and shouted to the guards with an ill favored look
They took Melody to a small cell in the city almost the whole city had been tried by the queen and the cells where full of women and children and men and women stretching just to hold hands across the cells baby’s didn’t cry they just sat awake and silent as many fell asleep from pure exhaustion a voice returned to Melody "Melody?" it called the voice aged and familiar to her the voice of Sissillia "Melody...Arowana, she has given in to the darkness"
"What does that mean?" Melody asked
"Melody... Mina's Live Forever never meant to die never meant to Join the mother Mina's only pass if they are killed" she explained before the voice faded away and Melody passed into a restless, dreamless, uneasy sleep.
Meanwhile Samual and Abbigale sat in the ship a little bored of waiting Jamiey sat by the water sitting patiently waiting for Melody to return "Jamiey, you need to sleep" Abbigale told him
"No not till Melody comes back, not till she’s safe" he replied
"alright Jamiey, I’m sure she won't be long" Abbigale sighed giving him a little blanket wrapping it around his shoulders but he didn’t move or even flinch just keeping his eyes on the spot Melody had left as the darkness moved across the sky until the sun rose again high in the sky
"Where is she?" Jamiey asked still awake and worried
"I’m not sure” Abbigale sighed a little worried now too
"Maybe someone convinced her to stay down there.... a boyfriend perhaps" Samual smirked
"no- No Melody wouldn't no she wouldn't do that I’m sure of it" he answered almost crying until they sore something across the other side of the water.
Melody was dragged from her cell in chains onto a small raft with the water’s edge just above her with Arowanna’s throne on the raft she sat there still acting like a child as the guards stood beside Melody and the raft pushed out of the water to float on the waters "so begins the trial of Melody Waterlilly" she said standing proudly "I charge you with high treason against the crown of Mithrilida... how do you plead?"
"Guilty...If you where the real queen! You killed her you killed Sissillia your own mother you killed her for the throne it doesn’t belong to you" Melody screamed before the guards pushed her to her knees
"You plead guilty" Arowana smirked standing and grabbing a sword placing it on Melody’s Neck
"I banish you Melody from the land of Mithrilida and From the Family Line of the Waterlilies you shall go into the Forgotten lands Nameless and Forbidden from contact with the people of water Nation, No Past No Future" she explained taking the sword and cutting Off Melody's hair causing her to scream and burst into tears
Across the water the others could just watch what was happening no way of crossing the water and they sore her hair be cut "Melody!" Jamiey screamed before standing slipping off his jacket
"Jamiey what are you -" Abbigale began before he jumped into the water and began to swim
"Jamiey!" Both Abbigale and Samual yelled trying to grab him as he jumped
"And now for the crime of accusing me of murder well.... I send you to meet the mother as well as your parents and your dear grandmother" Arowana yelled about to strike Melody with the sword if Jamiey hadn’t jumped onto the raft and sat between Melody and the blade
"Touch her and your dead" Jamiey told her
"Move earthican" She yelled getting angrier by the second
"NEVER!" he yelled getting up and the two fighting with the swords the clanging and metal sounds echoing across the water both getting faster and more tricky with their moves trying to catch each other out the guards returned to the sea trying to not fight till Arowana tripped him up by the time he got to his feet again she stood behind Melody sword to her throat "one more step she dies"
"Leave her alone... just let her go she'll never bother you again" Jamiey told her
"NO! My sister got the power of our mother IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN ME! So I end my mother and her parents now I kill her end of the Water Blood line and the power reverts to me" she explained
"please... just let her go" he begged "don't hurt her"
"why... she dies you get to curl back in your pretty little forest forever"
"Maybe I don't want that many more.... just please don't hurt her...please" he begged
"Oh please she's just a little girl what’s worth saving" she screamed holding the sword closer to Melody's neck Jamiey didn’t answer for a moment "You love her" she laughed "well then...drop the sword" she orders so he dropped the sword "Bow before the queen” so he kneels before her defeated and at her mercy "well then as the boy loves her so much I suppose I could let her go-" she began
"Jamiey it’s a tra-" Melody screamed but Arowana forced her hand over her mouth so she couldn’t finish
"Please just let her go" he begged her
"Very well" she smirked "here's your precious Princess" she laughed throwing Melody over to Jamiey but slitting her throat in the process
"Melody!" he screamed as he held her in his arms as she bled he rested her on the raft before running over to Arowana hitting her and striking her blocks with such anger and skill Arowana began to struggle before Jamiey stuck her though her chest the sword exiting her back and pushing her into the sea before going and cradling the dead Melody in his arms just as Abbigale and Samual arrived on the raft as he cried and screamed her name "NO, NO, NO, NO Melody please? Melody? Melody!" he cried hugging her tightly
"Jamiey... she’s gone" Abbigale told him as he cried
"might as well go home... the dream is over the water blood line has ended its hopeless" Samual sighed going to leave with Abbigale as well, But they watched in wonder as Melody's blood began to fade and the skin of her neck began to grow slowly like she was healing his hands around her grew flowers that surrounded her neck for a few moments repairing her skin and throat so it looked like it never happened
"How is that possible?" Samual asked
"Mina Healing... It’s Not impossible but rare only recorded to have happened once the great kings mother was dying from an infected cut the kings father wept at her weakening body and the elements came together to heal her, The power of Mina healing can only be harnessed when the Manipulator is In great emotional pain and loss for the one that they love" Abbigale explained
"You knew?" Samual asked
"of course I did... you could see it in their eyes" she said with a grave smile "and that’s how Melody saved Jamiey in acatec she wept and the water healed him" she explained as the flowers around Melody's neck died and withered into nothingness her neck healed but she didn’t move her eyes still closed and she didn’t breath
"Why isn’t she?" Samual began
"It heals the ailment... he was too late, she was already dead" Abbigale explained as Jamiey cried.
