That statement struck my heart like a bolt of lightening . My heart felt like it was been cut by a thousand knives . "Are .... you sure of what you are saying ?". I asked incoherently . "How can I joke with a thing like this ". The dark queen said coldly . For the first time in my life , I felt weak , incredibly weak as pain , sorrow and confusion clouded my heart . I had wronged her , the whole puzzle was there for me to solve but I stupidly made a rash and hasty decision without thinking anything through. 
 I walked slowly towards her as I took her in my embrace . "I am so sorry ". I said with Intense regret and pain in my voice . She smiled brightly as she caressed my cheeks with her hands . "I am so happy that you are still alive ". Her bright eyes was scrutinizing my face as a happy expression surfaced on her pale and weak looking face . "You should have told me , Irisha . You knew that I would have forgiven her because of you ". I said with a blaming tone when I saw how much she have suffered .
 She shook her head and said . "What if you had changed , I was afraid that you are no longer the Drex I know because you have changed so much ". She paused and pinched my cheek. "You became even more handsome than before , so I was not taking any chances so I decided to take the blame upon myself with hope that you will let everyone off". I narrowed my eyes and said . "weren't you afraid that I will kill you ". 
 She smiled and said "I sensed no killing intent from you ". sigh ! "I am still the same old me , I will never change no matter how strong I become ". I gripped her arms as I checked her condition . My face became pale when I noticed that her lifeforce was almost gone . My heart skipped furiously as I injected a strange of star laws in her body with hope of healing somewhat because star laws contain healing qualities but alas it was not working at all.  
 Beads of sweats covered my face as anxiety and nervousness came over me . Different solutions flashed in my mind but none of them were helpful at all . "How did you get poisoned ?". I asked her . She smiled weakly and said . "I don't know , I was poisoned by someone but I don't know the actual culprit ". I could feel her pause becoming weak and I continuously tried to force out the poison from her body but to no avail , the poison have eaten deep into her organs and her lifeforce was waning .
 "No ! , I have to find a solution ". I screamed with anxiousness . She held my hands as she smiled brightly . "My greatest joy is seeing alive because I have always blamed myself for what happened to you . You still love me , right?". She asked with a playful smile on her lips . I nodded quickly and said "Yes , I love you very much ". Her smile was dazzling when she heard my statement , a heavy load seemed to have been lifted from her shoulder .
 She looked at the dark queen with a complicated gaze and said . " Can I call you Mom , for just once ?". The body of the dark queen shook as she sasked . "How did you discover it ?". Irisha sighed and said "I discovered it a long time ago that you were my mother after all a mother's love can never be hidden ". A sorrowful look appeared on the dark Queen's face as she said . " I have failed you as a mother ". Irish shook her head and said . " you wanted the best for me and I did not blame you for that ". 
 She held the hands of the dark queen and said . "I will always love you , mom ". Her words even made the dark queen to cry harder .Sob!! Sob!! " I love you too , my daughter ". Irisha smiled and then turned her head to look at me . "Do you still remembered the promise you made to me ?". I nodded and said . "I will take you to the starry skies , there we will make the stars our home ". 
 She nodded and said with a sorrowful expression . "It is a pity that we can not see the starry skies together". I became anxious as I held her hands . "There is still time , we can .....". She shook her head and looked into my eyes and said . "Meeting you was the best thing that ever happened to me , a moment with you is like an eternity to me . Loving you was the greatest thing life could have ever granted me . How I wish I could be there with you but Drex , promise me that you will live on and take care of yourself ".
 Tears kept falling from my eyes as I said amidst sobs . "I will , I will take care of myself ". She nodded with satisfaction as she closed her eyes with a relaxed smiled on her face. "Irisha !!!! ". I shook her body and discovered that there is no trace of lifeforce in her body at all . "This can't be happening !!!! "". I kept Injecting star laws into her body but she was not still responding . it finally drawned to me that she had fallen into Eternal sleep . 
 I felt like something very important to me was ripped away from my body . My heart shook , my aura became chaotic as I vomited blood . "Your majesty ". Clive came beside me with intense worry in his eyes . The light in the eyes of the dark queen became dim. She looked lifeless as she stared at the corpse of Irisha . "Why!!!!". I shouted with pains and sorrow . 
 Why was fate playing a huge joke on me . I lost my parents at a very tender age and now the only person I had was forcefully taken away from me . I hugged her body as I wept bitterly . Boooom!! my entire aura exploded out , completely smashing apart the entire palace . Rumble !!! cracks appeared on the wall as many parts of the building fell apart . Many people were sent flying into the air as they smashed into the ground . Some weaker ones died instantly while others sustained heavy injuries .
 Space shattered completely , forming black holes as a suppressive aura that made the entire martial world to start shaking intensely descended . The will of the martial world noticed an Instense danger as lightening tribulation formed in the sky above the eternal dark sect . "Scram!!!". My eyes were red as my laws surged like a malestorm , smashing the lightening apart . Boooom !!!!!! a space crack that extended for thousands of miles appeared in the sky .
 The will of the martial world instantly hid itself as it hurriedly withdrew the lightening . I blamed myself for her death , I came to conclusions early without looking deep into the matter . "Why am I so stupid!". I hit the ground with my fists as I wept bitterly . Clive sighed with sorrow when he saw my state of emotions. An insane idea came to my mind as a mad look surfaced on my face . 
 Time law , yes I had comprehended time laws so I was going to reverse time and save her . Boooom !!!! my aura reached the peak as time laws distorted the void around me . "Time reversal !". countless of scenes seemed to flash past my eyes as an illusionary river of time appeared behind my back Bang!!! I seemed to have meet a very strong resistance as I vomited blood and my aura weakened .
 My bloodshot eyes glinted fiercely as I seem not intending to give up at all . The star imprint appeared on my forehead , shinning brightly with divine aura as I activated my bloodline . The expression of Clive changed drastically as he said "Your majesty , you can not... ". He did not finish his sentence before I shouted with extreme rage . "Time reversal !". The space shattered like glass as a terrifying aura surged in the sky .
