Summary: It was on that Day, that fire burned the skies, that he realized how much he hated her.
Ilosovic couldn’t believe what he was seeing. The fire of the Jabberwock seemed to be burning the sky of Underland itself. He clapped his hand to his mouth, fighting the urge to retch, and turned to the Queen, his face pale against the red and purple glow of the flames. “You lied to me! You swore you wouldn’t harm anyone!”
Iracebeth gave him a scornful look, and then laughed. “Are you really that much of an idiot? I cannot have anyone standing in the way of my cwown, least of all a bunch of upstart craft workers who are loyal to my sister! This is the only way to assure total contwol.”
Stayne shook his head, yelling over the sounds of screams and cries for help and mercy that he knew would never come. “Not like this, Iracebeth! You won’t have control, you’ll have fear! Why couldn’t you be happy with the Joint Rule? !”
He gulped as her face turned red, and winced as her fury broke over him. “IT IS MY CWOWN! I AM THE ELDEST!!”
Ilosovic turned away from her, watching in sickened rage and horror as the Flame of the Jabberwock consumed everything and everyone in its path, leaving nothing but ash. He spotted a young girl, clearly from the Hightopp Clan stumble and fall. The next thing he knew, the girl was gone. Simply gone. Not even a wisp of her remained.
Long after the screams had stopped, Ilosovic rode into the still smoldering ashes to retrieve the Sword. With luck, he thought, someone will come along that will be able to wield it.
He looked out over the complete destruction of what had once been a thriving village, and then screamed in rage, pain, and sorrow.
He got very drunk that night.
