Kohra

I removed the ice shard from my hand and let my blood drip to the floor. The wound closed up and the spell he applied vanished.

Prince Aairon was happy he managed to injure me but he looked worse for wear. He was breathing very heavily and bleeding from all over.

"I have to give it to you. No one has managed to make me bleed in years. You're a good fighter. However, I have no time to entertain your foolishness so surrender and give me the flower"

"You.....you've gotta.....stop....talking...like.

....you're a .....grandma" he said, panting after each word.

"What did you just say?" I demand, my temper flaring.

He took a deep breath to talk normally.

"You talk like you're old. We're literally the same age. Chill out"

"You have no idea how heavy the weight of the responsibility upon me is. You're just a battle hungry prince who would soon be killed if he ever took the throne because you're all brawns. You are not worthy of my time"

I stretch out my hand and a dark cloud forms above him. I take all the air around him and turn it into chaos. I spin the air, trapping him in a mini tornado and depriving him of breathable air slowly.

"In a few minutes, you will run out of air and suffocate to death. Yield!" I say coldly.

He doesn't respond and I leave him in the spell. My eyes pick up something and I fly higher. Ice pierced the floor I floated on formerly. I watched coldly as the tornado completely froze up and shattered. The crowd went quiet.

Aairon emerged from the ice larger and covered in more fur than before.

"You're using the power of a god. Gunjar, is it? The god of ice" I say, my temper hitting rock bottom.

"You know your facts, Queen Kohra" he replied, his eyes a shinning blue.

"Let me tell you a fact about me. I absolutely despise the gods" I say and fly into the clouds.

They all thought I had run away till the clouds turned inky black. The curse rippled in my skin and I expelled it into the clouds, causing black lightning to flash in the skies.

I emerged again with a ball of pure chaos above me. I must've looked like a lunatic with my pitch black eyes and my hair that defied gravity.

Aairon prepared for the attack by forming a huge and condensed Ice shield. I could smell the fear emitting from his pores, even with his power up.

"I call this attack, black star. Enjoy" I say and threw the condensed energy at him. It tore through space and hit the shield, totally blinding everyone and obliterating the shield.

I guard against the attack coming from my side as Aairon threw a punch at me. Turning my hands into sharp swords, I wrestle him. I may not have the physical strength but I had an abundance of magix.

"I knew a coward like you cannot take my attack head on"

"Only a fool would take it head on. I may be all brawns but I am no fool"

"Tch, you're a pest. Be gone"

I try to torch him with my magix but he blocked it, sending him flying accross the sky. I follow up with a powered kick and a slice with my sword hands. He crashed to the stage and his shoulder sliced open.

I landed on the stage gently but it broke with each step I took. I stepped on his head and burried it in the ground. I kicked his body up and kicked it into the walls.

I. Was. Pissed.

Everyone stared at me in horror. Even with his power up, I still beat him up like he was powerless.

When I got to his body, he was already unconcious. I won the match but everyone still looked at me like I was a monster. I didn't care.

"He had a bit of the power of a god but I still beat him up. I dare you all to try me" I said calmly.

"What do you want?"

"The Techa flower. Give it to me and I'll leave your kingdom in peace. If you don't, then I'll have to take it by force"

"Who are you to make such bold claims?"

"Me? I'm Kohra, Queen of Ataliya, a descendant of Muni. I certainly dare"

☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆☆

"Where would you go now?"

"I'm going back to Ataliya. I have something important to do" I reply, keeping the box that contained the flower in my carriage.

"I want to come with you. If it's that important to bring you out of your kingdom, then I want to help too"

"You're not afraid the nobles would kill you?"

"You'll protect me" Eline says, shinning her pearly whites. I shake my head and she hops into the carriage.

I spot a blur appearing from the direction of Biefa and I immediately know who it is.

"You're leaving already"

"Yes. Do you need anything?"

"No, not really. My father, uh, wanted to ask if we could get married"

"He must be delusional. I'm already married"

"But I'm available" Eline says from inside the carriage. His cheeks assume a rosy hue.

"She's a Kroll and she's the biggest casanova in the continent. I'll advice against it. I have to go. Till we meet again" I get into my carriage and we ride off.
