9 Troubles/Decision

David was lost for words, the girl he left in Erador, whom he had assumed dead since he heard of their conquering, was now lying before him. He brought her near the fire so she wouldn't get frostbite in the night and grabbed a blanket for her, but still it didn't make sense, how was she still alive. These were the questions circling inside David's head as he fell asleep.

The next morning, when he woke up, he saw that Lily still hadn't moved, he left her for now and went to see how Ben was doing.

Ben was awake but clearly weak, "Yo"

"Ben are you stupid confronting Alzoth like that, he's stronger than everyone except maybe the Queen."

"H-his power, like ours, deep history"

Ben was trying to remember the event that occurred within the dark room but couldn't piece the words together.

"Yes, I saw the sword pierce you, I believe the matter should be explained to the Queen, I'll go get her and hope she's interested."

Ben slowly nodded so David ran off. Ben rolled his head to the side and off in the distance saw a girl lying on the ground, as he closed his eyes he thought she was an angel.

A few minutes later David returned, Queen Selas at his side.

"Hey Ben, we're here"

Ben opened his eyes again, mind still focused on the girl he saw.

"What was it again"

"The power Alzoth has, its like ours right."

"Ye-yes, he told me how"

At that Selas got angered

"How can he know the power Ben tell me, and make it rash, this is rather troublesome and we need to know the extent of what he knows."

Ben taken aback replied, "Th-the prince, same power, didn't die against Fire in battle, ended up fathering the royal family in his generation, taught ice magic within and they combined them."

"Those damn people, always twiddling in lies. Gah this is rather frustrating, I will face Alzoth myself."

With that Selas left and headed in the direction of where the Fire army camped.

"S-so David, who is that over there."

"Hmm what do you mean Ben"

"The one by your tent, sh-she's beautiful"

"Ah right, I thought that once myself, so makes sense it'd happen again, well she's the, I guess former, princess of Erador, Lily."

"Oh I see, a bit out of my league then"

Ben returned to sleep.

David rather worried about Selas went after her, a beam of light had appeared over the Fire army, however a strangely dark shadow also surrounded it, blocking all view except the light.

David ran and eventually entered the dark shadow, a sudden feeling of ice cold death sent shudders down his spine and their was a fog so strong he could only see a metre around him, except the bright light.

He headed toward the light as he knew Selas brandished light magic over ice magic in most situations and no one else here would know it presumably, but think back to how Alzoth used ice magic, anything was uncertain now.

As he approached he heard lots of sounds of pain. A crackling sound pierced his ears and he looked down and saw a body of a man now dead. The light grew stronger and he saw many more dead bodies in the vicinity.

The light became the only thing left, there was nothing but the light. David was one with the light and the light was one with David.

A heavenly figure appeared before David, "David don't fear, justice will strike against your nation but you will survive the great conflict that follows. You the great survivor of the world who cannot die except from the destruction of oneself, the human who will stand the test yet repeats the test, over and ocer throughout history. Your life bringing meaning to the ones around you. Protected by I the Goddess Angelica."

The light faded and David saw all of the atrocity around him, and standing at the centre of it was Queen Selas.

"You killed them in cold blood, this is going to start a war greater than before, ah shit."

"It is vengeance for what they did to the Prince, no true Prince would have yielded so easily so I sensed a greater voice behind Ben's tell me of the torture they dealt to the Prince."

"Okay but that's long past now, I bet even at this second Alzoth is heading in peace toward the United Nation of Air, in hopes to bring them, and in turn the rest of the tribes who find the Air tribe to be a right minded people, and view what you have just done as a war crime and punishable by the swallowing of our lands by the fire."

"I don't care fool" Selas turned to face David, her face glittering with an ominous light and her eyes whited out completely"

"Holy God, what happened to you"

"This is the face of my ancestors anger, laughing at the deaths of so many of the Fire tribe"

David backed away in horror.

"We stood for peace not unjust deaths, how, how could they laugh at this, this is so fucking twisted, ahh what's wrong with you."

Selas headed back toward the Ice camp, "We pack up, our job is done here, we won our fight, come David"

David reluctantly followed, but he knew he had to spread word around outside of her hearing, she obviously wouldn't listen to anyone at this point, possesed by her ancestors who have no care being long dead.
