End Chapter 14 Vyakles and Thera went out the open window, running through the courtyard to the back of the palace where they burst through the rear gate where, to their shock and horror, they saw a dozen blood soaked riders, armed for battle, galloping away down the hill to the city; which was filled with smoke, fire, and the screams of the dying and those trying desperately to put out the flames and fight off the rest of the attackers. Thera instantly recognized the marauders by their armor and she yelled "Themiscyrans!"
Here Odessa turned, hearing the voice of her former friend, with Princess Sparta tied up in a burlap sack slung over the back of her war horse like a saddle bag. She spied Vyakles and Thera standing a few yards away, swords in hand, a look of furious anger etched upon their faces and she cried out in a loud voice, javelin in hand saying "Thera! You traitor! I have come for your daughter!"
Astonished to see Odessa atop her war steep she screamed "Odessa! Stop! DO NOT DO THIS!" Thera implored all her words filled with anguish as she tried to run towards her, but King Vyakles held her back.
"I will kill this terrorist myself!" just as Vyakles took one step forward Odessa raised her right arm and threw, with all her might, the deadly weapon and in a flash Thera pulled Vyakles by the shoulders moving in front of him holding her husband in a tight embrace, placing her body in the way as they now stood face to face. He saw her green eyes grow wide as she screamed out in intense pain as the sharpened iron tip of the javelin shattered her ribcage, piercing her heart.
With her last breath Thera said to her beloved husband "Save Sparta!"
Vyakles could not believe what had just transpired in that brief moment of time as his wife, the mother of his children, and his unborn child, collapsed in his arms and died, having saved his life with the ultimate sacrifice of her own, out of her Love, Unity, Loyalty, Respect and Sacred Honor. "Thera! My Queen! Do not leave me!" he screamed in grief and utter disbelief as he laid her body down, pulling the javelin out as her royal blood spewed forth from the gaping wound staining the ground. Then he took the javelin throwing it as hard as he could towards Odessa, but his aim was not true missing his target and Odessa only laughed, as she galloped away atop her war horse at full speed into the deep woods, leaving behind the death and destruction caused by the violence of her hands and the villainous act of her mind.
Here Admiral Vasha, General La Quint, Lacuna and Lucia Vega came running up upon the horrific scene seeing their brave and beautiful friend was dead. So it was Queen Thera of Sparta, former ruler of Themiscyra, Royal Daughter of Queen Ethera died, along with the precious life growing inside her, both were engulfed by Death's Dread Shadow on that dark and terrible night. As Vyakles held the corpse of his beloved wife in his arms he cried out like a wounded lion, bitter tears streaming down his face knowing he would never hear her sweet voice again, nor feel the warmth of her touch and the gentle kisses of her mouth. So it came to pass, King Vyakles shed his tears for blood, for the blood of his beloved wife and he shouted out "Odessa! YOU BETTER RUN! For I, and the might of my ARMY and NAVY, shall come with SWORDS and FIRE! We will take back Princess Sparata! And together we will BURN YOUR EMPIRE DOWN!!"
