The emperor fled after his assault on Aikena. She fell to the floor in the middle of her own puddle of blood. Her vampire soldier rushed to her aid, picked her up and rushed her back to the Meide Empire. He laid the pale porcelain like Aikena at the Emperor’s feet. Everyone in the room in total silence once again. The Emperor himself started to shed a tear but managed himself. He told Aikena’s soldier to take her down to the underground chamber and lay her on the table. Once Aikena and her uncle both made it there he had his doctors replace her blood with the same experimental blood as her vampire soldier. Aikena’s body didn’t respond as rapidly as the soldiers did, that worried the emperor. He began to become furious with himself for allowing his young niece to die. He turned his back and started mentally scolding himself while also coaxing Aikena back to life. By this time Aikena’s body was already healing itself and the cut on her neck was almost completely healed. He left the room and went back to the throne room preparing to announce Aikena’s death to his people, but just as he were to enter the throne room the vampire soldier called him back. He ran back to the room Aikena was in and was totally surprised to see her sitting there on the table looking around. What really surprised him was that Aikena retained her memory. When she sat and regrouped everything it didn’t take long for her to want to seek her revenge. She leapt off the table furious, but the emperor spoke to her to calm her down and partially succeeded. She paced back and forth to help to clear her mind, but then encountered a very horrible feeling. She was hungry, but felt normal food wouldn’t sedate her appetite. The emperor knew what was happening to her and told his men to leave the room. Once the room was cleared including himself, he sent a prisoner into the room with Aikena and closed the door. There was a horrible screaming sound coming from the man then some loud cracking sound then the thump of a body hitting the floor. The Emperor and his men listening intently by the door jumped back when they heard the sound of Aikena knocking on the other side to be released. The men opened the door cautiously and out stepped Aikena with blood stained on her face and clothes. Her appearance shocked the men. So the emperor had Aikena rushed to her room to get cleaned up being sure none of the people in the throne room spotted her. Once she was cleaned up, she went to speak with her uncle once again. She told him how emperor Deite fooled her and that’s how he got the best of her. This made her uncle Emperor Sakamoto furious to know Aikena was killed using such childish methods. Aikena with her mind set on revenge asked her uncle for permission to attack the Deite Empire once more since it was only the emperor left. Emperor Sakamoto said to wait and allow him to make more troops for her and in the mean time to go to her room and try to clear her mind. She went into her room and laid across her bed thinking about what has happened to her. As she laid there thinking about the fact of being killed and being brought back to life as something else it started to overwhelm her and she started to cry. Though she is back from the dead she still felt something was missing. While in the middle of her tearful display her vampire soldier walked in and interrupted her. He saw as she tried to wipe her eyes before he could tell she was crying. But respectfully disregarded it and went on to speak to her. “Princess Aikena, the emperor has sent me to tell you that you may attack the Deite Empire when ready and if you wish to speak to him then he is always ready to listen.” “Thank you; I shall start a plan as soon as possible. By the way what is your name soldier?” “Princess you shouldn’t bother yourself with memorizing my name.” “It’s no bother to me; I simply wish to know the name is my savior.” “My princess it was my honor and my name is Kenichi or ken for easier.” “Ok. Ken I would like to thank you for saving my life ...or for the attempt.” Ken bowed then walked out of the room. Aikena soon started to formulate a plan for a new attack on the Deite Empire. It didn’t take her long to come up with one. That night she left her room dressed in all black and crept to the barracks for her soldiers. Ken was in his own private room for the safety of the other soldiers. Aikena told him her plan for them two to ambush the emperor. Ken agreed to it because she is the princess and he didn’t question her actions. They left at separate time and regrouped in front of the emperor Meide’s home. Aikena told him to be a look out for 5 minutes then to come in a help. Aikena made her way into his home. She walked down the long corridor from her earlier attempt to attack the Meide Empire. She walked into the throne room and stood in the spot where she had died, the pool of blood she lost was permanently stained on the floor. She stared down at it as she walked past. Knowing that what is now a large stain on the floor once kept her alive. It infuriated her. She then headed in the direction the emperor fled. Along the way she swept though and cleaned out each room for possible survivors making nearly no sound she finally found the emperor’s room, it was behind two huge stone doors. No doubt controlled by a mechanism this would allow him to open them from a safe distance. Aikena knew with her strength she would have a tough time breaking through them, so she waited for ken to show up. He did with in moments, surely he followed Aikenas silent path of destruction. Ken found Aikena standing in front of the stone double doors she didn’t have to say a word he knew what she needed and gave a now. They both gave the doors their most powerful kick. Seemingly choreographed, the doors were turned to rubble and Aikena and Ken stepped through the door way. The room was cleaned out as if he moved away. That infuriated Aikena. She lost control of her self and destroyed the emperors’ room. Though it didn’t help her feel better it held as a temporary form of comfort. After she destroyed the emperors’ room, she sheathed her sword and walked out of the house her mouth was in urgency for blood. She made her way to the Meide courtyards and found one of the noble men hiding behind some rubble. She tortured out of him the whereabouts of the emperor then bit into his neck and drank his blood
