Abrus entered the throne room, and bowed.
"My liege," Abrus said humbly, "I have one request for thee. Even as I stand before you, a humble servant, I ask that you- DIE!"
Abrus leapt up, and slashed the sword downward, through the Fighting King's head. Guards poured in from all over. Vaporeon tried to fend them off, but they pushed through. Arrows tore through Abrus.
"Vaporeon!" Abrus whispered hoarsely, "Get to Kyra. Help her. Protect our kingdom."
Abrus put a hand on Vaporeon's head, then died. Vaporeon ran away before it could be caught. It raced all the way back to Kyra in one night, and told her what happened by spelling it out in bubbles.
