Aria Of The Cursed Dragon

" You foolish child...."

Siegfried gently closed her eyelids as he gritted his teeth tightly while tears flowed down his face.

Memories started flashing before his mind as he remebered every moment he spent with Lily and it was painful.

A child so full of hope and expectations now dead due to the greed of others.

And the worst part of it all was she died for nothing , and it infuriated him.

It was like fate was playing a cruel joke on him , the explosion that happened may not have done anything to him due to his strength but Lily was just a normal human and she took the brunt of it especially since she tried to protect him.

He didn't even need to be protected but she still did it in heat of the moment which resulted in her demise.

And the worst part of it all he was finding it hard just to move , the toxin in his body was a paralysing type not a killing type which resulted in it being far more useful than using a normal posion.

There was only one way for him to be posioned despite his invulnerability and the realisation of it made a bitter smile on his face.

Nobody in Brittania could kill him despite the poison weakening him but he would find it hard to stop this rebellion because standing itself was a hard task for him.

Siegfried rested Lily's body against a wall as he started to move towards a certain direction.

The situation was far more dangerous than he thought , he never imagined they would have the courage to go through with such a insane plan but it seems greed and pride does blind people.

He couldn't let anything happen to her ..... He had to reach her before it's too late.....

...

Siegfried reached the throne room and what he saw caused him to feel as if his heart was being torn apart and shredded to pieces.

Artoria was lying in a pool of her own blood as she had a bloody hole in her chest.

"N-No.. It can't be... " Siegfried felt as if he was having a nightmare as he had flashbacks of his childhood and memories of what happened with his mother replayed in his mind causing him to clutch his face in pain.

It was happening once again...he had to lose someone again.

Siegfried felt the despair overwhelming him again but from the corner of his vision he saw Artoria's sword Excalibur stabbed into the ground.

Siegfried felt as if he had gotten hope as he gazed around the room like a desperate man grasping at something but his expression dimmed as he couldn't find Avalon anywhere.

With shaky steps Siegfried walked towards Artoria bloodied form and when he knelt beside her a shiver went through his body as disbelief reflected in his eyes.

There was hope!

A surge excitement ran through his body as Siegfried felt like he was given a second chance while at the same time he didn't know what to do.

Artoria's heart was ripped out by someone and he didn't know what to do about that , if not for her being special then there wouldn't be any hope.

Siegfried felt as if he was dealt the cruel hand by fate once again to watch a person he loves die in front of him once again.

" No... Not this time... " Siegfried muttered to himself as he stood up and moved towards Excalibur.

This was Artoria's sword and nobody else should have been able to wield it as the sword had recognised Artoria as it's wielder or atleast that should have been the case.

But when Siegfried grasped the hilt of the weapon it hummed with energy but he paid it no heed.

He dragged the weapon on the ground as he walked towards Artoria slowly as his body refused to move.

With much difficulty Siegfried removed his upper body armour which was made easy since he doesn't wear heavy armour.

He used he tip of the sword to make a incision on his chest as he took a deep breath.

Blood poured out as he willed his defences to be lowered making it easier for the sword to cut deeper.

After making a deep cut Siegfried slowly plunged his hand inside his chest and in a swift motion he ripped his heart out.

*Splash!

" Aargh!" Siegfried groaned in pain as he vomited out blood but he had a smile on his face as he gazed at his beating heart.

He could see that his heart was special as he could feel a powerful energy in it.

He hoped his plan would work as he knelt beside Artoria and placed his heart where her's used to be.

Siegfried was bleeding but he didn't care he placed Excalibur on Artoria's body and it released a gentle hum.

He could see his heart starting to connect to her body as her wounds started closing slowly.

Siegfried let out a sigh of relief as he could see that she would live but he won't be there to see that.

Siegfried knew that he wouldn't survive long and if not for his immense strength he would have already died due to having his heart ripped out.

The good thing was that the poison in his body was fading and he could feel the sensation in his body coming back.

It was a miracle that the poison was able to affect him for so long showing how strong it was.

Siegfried decided to take out the ones near the throne room before leaving ....

....

Siegfried was breathing hard as his vision was blurry , he had reached the place where his mother rested.

He wanted to be near his mother in his last moments and he didn't want Artoria to see him in this state when she woke up as he feared she might do something drastic.

Siegfried walked towards the tree near which he had buried his mother but his steps faltered as he fell but before his body could impact the ground it was caught in a soft embrace as a cold voice floated into his ears.

" Your foolishness knows no limit ...."

Hearing the words a smile formed on Siegfried's face " I guess it does...." Siegfried said in a self depreciating tone as he took in the soft scent of Liliacs emanating from her.

He didn't expect that he would be spending his last moments with her ... But....it wasn't bad...
