After the first few days I had lost count of how long I had been hanging here, all I knew was that my arms had lost all feeling in them and when I was fed it was only little amounts to make sure my magic didn't overpower the enchanted chains which would lead to my freedom. On occassion the stranger would come see me but for the most part I was alone, the isolation gave me plenty of time to think but it only drove me deeper into my hidden insanity. The sound of approaching footsteps caused me to snap from my thoughts, lifting my head from where it hung limply against my neck and chest I found myself looking at Herobrine.

"I would have come sooner my Queen but there were complications with bribing the guards," he sighed his expression unreadable, with a huff I let my head flop once more.

"Heh, I bet you weren't expecting your Queen to be hanging up like a half dead criminal," I chuckled not bothering to lift my head, a sigh from his direction told me he didn't catch my humour as lightly.

"I promise that I am trying my hardest to free you, with this many mages and witches it will take a little longer but trust me you will be free soon enough," he huffed, lifting my head I noticed his gaze had shockingly softened.

"Herobrine, before you go I have one question for you, why do you care so much about my freedom?" I rasped making sure to look him in the eyes, for a few moments he was silent before he gave another sigh.

"That is not an answer for all ears to hear," he mumbled gesturing slightly to the camera trained on us, nodding he turned and left leaving me once again in darkness and isolation. Not too long after he left another set of footsteps approaching caught my attention, with what energy I still had I lifted my head for just long enough to see the stranger arrive with his witch friend.

"Come to try and run my ears off with your whole 'join the good side' talk or are you going to finally kill me and rid the world of my torment?" I wheezed giving a chuckle before letting out a pained cough at the effort it took to speak, a few soft words were exchanged between the two before I heard the door open and them come closer.

"Neither actually, the council has requested to see you before they make up their mind on what to do with you," he informed his voice soft and sympathetic, in a sudden motion I slammed into the ground not even bothering to try and stand up with how weak I felt. The feeling of hands grabbing my arms and lifting me up made me chuckle, although I was weak they seemed to be foolish enough to not restrain me for the moment. With a heave of effort the stranger began to half lead half carry me from the prison while his witch friend followed behind ready with her spells if I tried anything, when we entered into the sunlight I had to close my eyes for a minute or so to let them adjust after so long in the dark. Looking around I noticed many cautious and fear filled eyes watching as I was led towards the councils building, after a few minutes we were deep within the confines of the building and standing before the city council.

"Aria, Queen of the End Realm, you stand before us to recieve your judgement, whatever you say today will influence our decision so speak wisely," one of them called from their seats above, with a chuckle I shook my head.

"Oh my, I stand before the oh so mighty council quick I must bow and fear their wrath before I am killed, oh wait, the council aren't so mighty, everyone treats them like gods so they sit above us all, but their oh so precious city fails to see that their council are mere humans trying to act powerful, pathetic, worthless creatures that sent me into banishment after I gave their precious leader what he deserved for sending my family to their deaths just to please their worthless minds," I sneered my eyes narrowed in anger, after I had finished I noticed the stranger and the witch looking at me in shock.

"Your family did that to themselves, if they had not stolen the dragon egg we would not have had to execute them, knowing you and your way of life that dragon is dead and the egg to reincarnate it hidden within your magic after it bound itself to you," another snarled, at the mention of Obsidian I felt my magic boiling beneath my skin before I sent out a blast of black electricity but despite this the witch didn't use her magic to stop me.

"My family died doing what was right! That egg had not bound itself to anyones soul for over a thousand years and then it bound itself to me! You and your council are pathetic and only want power and so I took everything from you until only your city remained yours! Now you know what it feels like to have nothing left!" I spat barely stopping myself from collapsing after my energy outburst, just from the angry murmurs above I had sealed my fate in their eyes.

"We have given you enough chances, the council has decided your fate, in seven days time you shall be executed," the main one called, to my surprise the stranger and his witch stepped forwards.

"Perhaps we could try and persuade her, give us some time and I promise you she will have changed!" He almost seemed to plea, after a few moments of silence the council began to murmur amongst themselves.

"Very well, you have three months to try and change her path, if you fail you shall be punished and she will be executed," they agreed, with a low growl they began to half lead half drag me away but instead of heading towards the prison like expected we were headed for the city outskirts where a magic barrier had been set up to prevent my location being known to the outside world.
