The Fall of the Mafia King

~~~~~~~

"Dad, what's a huntress?"

"Huntress? Well, it is a woman who hunts animals in a forest or a jungle, son. They can also hunt anywhere in the city."

"Is... is there a such thing as... a mafia huntress in our world?"

"... They used to be in the past, but our ancestors managed to find and destroyed all of the hunters and huntresses. So now, they were just myths, do not worry about them." The boy's father explained.

He stood up from the black couch before picking his 4-year-old son, Darkyner who sat next to him, and he proceed to his son's bedroom.

While they headed for the room, Darky broke the silence with a question. "Dad, when will Mommy comes back? Is Mommy still busy?"

The man's gentle blue eyes looked at him, and replied, "Yes she will, son. I am sure that she would. She should be here right after you sleep."

"Um, okay then. I will sleep after this." The father said nothing but only replied "Alright" to Darky.

When they entered the room, Darky's father went towards the bed before putting Darky into it. He kissed the boy's little forehead lovingly. "Buona notte, mia luna oscura." Wished the father in Italian.

"Buona notte anche a te, papà."
Replied Darky while yawning. His jet black eyes started to dim as he closed his tired eyes.

"You are our only hope to become the strongest king and leader in mafia society." He whispered to his now sleeping son. And left the room quietly.

If only he'd known...

The king sighed, he knew his own fate and his death. He had already dug his own grave for making the deal between him and the Huntress. He had to save Darky from his sworn enemy.

The Black Rose Mafia.

He desperately hoped that She will take care of him. She is silent, yet a deadly one. As quiet as he was, he couldn't be silent enough when it comes for breathing and his heavy steps.

He stepped out of the house with all of his men behind, they only came as witnesses.

He only allowed them to witness the truth and their king's death, while his allies and other mafias, will not know the truth behind his death. Including, his enemies.

"My men, from now on you will be working for Her, for I will be no longer here. Never alarm our allies for my death. But when they asked you of what happen, tell them... 'the Huntress had warned us all for Her return with unimaginable strength and fighting skills.' That is all."

They all looked at him with both blank and worried expressions. But in the end, they nodded in agreement.

"Good. Whatever happens, remain calm and She will take care of you. But I must sacrifice myself to Her. After my wife died three days ago, I have decided to go with her as well. One day, the Huntress will slowly destroy Venom and his men, who hides among the Russians."

He turned around and saw Her, who stood 2 meters from him and his men.

She wore all dark brown like the color of the eagle's feathers, in the little bit of the moonlight, a slight glimpse of shiny white streak and a cyan or turqoise hair. On her back, a pair of brown owl-like wings spreading out gloriously behind her.

They made an intense eye contact to each other. Hers were fiery red and his were deep blue.

"Huntress, you have your deal. They will be our only witnesses to my death and truth, they held their promises well to serve you. Destroy me, and take my son with you, and I wish you raised him as your own." He finished his last will and wish, and then raised both his arms up as a signal that he is ready to be sacrificed.

The Huntress finally gave him a single nod. And took out a sharp darker blue blade, as shiny as a polished black diamond.

She went towards him with the blade next to her side. She saw the helpless king closing his eyes as to not want to see her face, despite she hid her face behind the dark brown cloth.

She raised her blade and shoved it right to his heart, making him grunted in pain. And then, he fell to his knees.

She pulled it off, and the mafia king finally fell to the grass with a thud, lifelessly.

And the King is now fallen from his throne.

All the men looked at her with shock,  but when she looked into their eyes, they understood and went back to their calm demeanors and bowed their heads to Her as the sign of loyalty.

"Men, pack all your things and pets if you have. And meet me back here. I am going to take his son before I blow this place apart."

And they went to work.

"When the legendary huntress had risen, all mafias must hide with their bloodlines or will they face the horrible consequences they would never, ever forget."
