《Kingdom of Earthos》Interlude 6: Ann - Throwing away everything.
Advertisement
Taking a knife from the kitchen, a ten year old girl with brown hair and hazel eyes stabs her father who was beating her mother on the launge in front of their her eyes. This incident repeated itself ever since she was five and lasted all the way till she finally snapped. During these five years, she had hoped this was stop and she ran to her room crying herself to sleep.
“Do you see what I see?” Aiden turned into a snake slithering around Ann and her dying boyfriend before returning to his human form. “You used to be a happy girl until your father became a compulsive drug addict and abused your mother every time she would not give him money. Isn’t it sad? The world is not fair. You might have hid your misery by acting calm and collected on the surface like Wednesday in Adam’s family, obviously your favourite film but behind that mask, you are only a miserable girl. Take my advice and put an end to the miserable life of your dying boyfriend, his disease is beyond cure anyway”.
Looking upon her sick and dying boyfriend who was lying on her lap and clinging to her, Ann wept bitterly something which she never had done in a long long time ever since her mother sent her to the psychiatrist instead of being grateful to her.
“Your mother was never grateful nor did she appreciate you for your good intentions. No she deemed you as a good for nothing violent girl and sent you to the psychiatrist for three years before sending you off to the School of the Beast way before it started without even saying goodbye. Didn’t she? Like I said the world is not fair. The only person who shows you love is your dead and dying boyfriend but he doesn’t know how to express it nor is he assertive enough to stand up for himself. Even Eagle has a more fun time than you do. Remember the time he snuggled up with Mads and having fun the whole night”.

Aiden made Ann relived her vision of her mom sending her off to the psychiatrist. “Mom, I don’t want to go. I am not a murderer”. She was sitting in the car backseat while her mother was driving her there not saying a word to her. The only words she heard was, “Just do as you are told”. She also remembered sneaking out of her room to get a glass of water while Eagle was cuddling Mads
“These were the last words you heard from your mother, didn’t you? She never spoke another word to you until it was time to sent you to the School of the Beast and even than she did not say goodbye to you. This was before you dyed your hair black. Now take my advice let go of everything. Be FREE”.
Ann was shown plenty of other visions of her past and all injustice happening in Earthos. Wanting to end her torment, she took out a pocket knife and stab her boyfriend in the neck, putting an end to his life. She then felt some dark energy swarm over her making her more powerful than Aiden Red and his lackeys put together. Seeing her new found power and the fact that she had chosen to become the Bride of Black Thanatos by killing the person she loved most, Aiden Red and the men and women in red and purple who had appeared out of nowhere bowed down to her acknowledging Ann as their new leader.
The first person she killed before killing Norman on earth was her mother. She then proceeded to kill all who were associated with her mother including her former psychiatrist as well as these who were formerly associated with Mads and Tomi who are now living normal lives”.
“Dear Ann. There is no need to go around killing everyone”. Black Thanatos appeared behind Ann turning into his bright green humanoid form with two bright green wings glowing like he was before the King of Paradeisos kicked him out of the Kingdom of Paradeisos.

“I do it for you, master”, Ann bowed down. “I have never been so free in my life”.
“This is why you are the most powerful of all. Nobody as powerful nor as loyal to me”.Black Thanatos was laughing with a laugh that nobody in the real world could hear. Only Ann could hear it. This is because both Black Thanatos and her were in another dimension. She finally got used to living in another dimension which is ruled by the former pale green Grand Chancellor.
“Don’t worry, Ann. I understand that the world is not fair. Neither is the Kingdom of Paradeisos. The King of Paradeisos kicked me out as he was jealous of me and is sitting on a throne which was suppose to be mine”. Black Thanatos continued. “I know you are wondering what this has to do with your situation but trust me, the situation I went through is not more fair than yours. There was a time the Father of Paradeisos announced that someone was going to rule with him which should have been me who served him for many mellenia but not it had to be his son the King of Paradeisos. Thinking of that really makes me angry. That is why I understand your case and to be honest you made the best choice to be my bride”.
“Do you want me to go on killing, there are still more to be killed”. Ann was all ready to begin another killing spree.
“No. Instead, take it slow. It will be more fun that way. Instead let’s go to earth and recruit more and more followers. We are also going to stir up conflict in the School of Paradeisos and play around with them in the background. Plenty of them have hearts that are impure and they are also perfect targets to recruit. In other words, we will creep in slowly”.
