Marcy awoke with a stir, but she couldn't move.
She was in a dark cocoon made of webs...
"W-what!?" She struggled to move...upset.
She only had a second to calm herself after killing Thea...then that storm hit...and she lost conscious.
"Agh...no...im not gonna be trapped here..."
She struggled more...and felt energy gather in her hands.
"GRAAAHHHH!!!" She yelled, trying to spin. And being successful.
She cut open the cocoon holding her...
She fell out, landing onto the ground aggressively.
"Agh...ow..."
She took a minute...but began to get up..
Above her, a large web was placed.
Hundreds of cocoons...all wiggling...
She started in fear...then looked down at her hands.
Her right hand was coated in the black and white mist, creating a wrist mounted knife device...
"What the...?"
She mumbled...but the device vanished.
Marcy forced herself up and began walking around.
A small prison made of ice...leading into a larger cave.
She walked down it...her instincts moving her toward an energy source she was sensing...
She approached a large room...and inside was a hideous sight.
Thousands of creatures, all getting their energy siphoned out into a large crystal.
"What the hell..." She mumbled...walking forward.
"Hey! She did escape!!!"
Two guards...spider like creatures made of ice, intruded on the room.
"Oh crap..." Marcy backed towards the crystal...
The crystal began to glow, attaching strands of magic to Marcy and siphoning her magic too.
"Grah!!!" She groaned, falling to the ground as the guards closed in.
"N-no...please...not here..."
Marcy closed her eyes...but the pain of the crystal and the footsteps stopped.
"head up..."
A calm voice spoke to her...
"H-huh...?"
Marcy looked up...
The world was dark, greyed out.
Ita was standing above her, a large deer spirit next to them.
"Hello Marcy."
Marcy looked up in disbelief...
"W-what...? Did you save me...?"
Ita shook their head...
"No, But I am here to help you save yourself."
Ita opened their palm, and the deer changed forms.
It became a ball of black and white mist, with the symbol of a deer skull on it.
"Take it Marcy...or should I say, Hakai."
"Hakai...? That's not my name..."
She mumbled...looking at the orb.
"it is now...I see potential in you."
"Then...what am I?"
Ita giggled, holding the orb out.
"Take it...and find out."
Marcy grabbed the orb...embracing it.
A warm sensation took over her...
Kuta was slammed aggressively into one of the ice pillars.
He had invaded Aci's castle head on to find Marcy...a bad idea.
Aci had covered herself in a crystalized armor...Kuta wasn't sure what to do about it.
"Hahahhahaha!!! You idiot! My plans in motion!"
Kuta struggled to stand...
"N-no..."
Aci used magic to freeze his legs to the floor...
"Hahahah!!!"
Aci walked closer...forming a icicle in her hand to fire at Kutas head.
But...as it was fired, a wall of mist saved Kuta.
"HEY IDIOT!!!"
A scream came from above.
Aci turned back...and looked up.
Several people were standing in the open skylight of the room.
A large group of mortals stood around the entrance...with one standing out.
A woman, with an antlered deer skull for a head.
A long strands of the black and white mist created a large head of hair...
Over an exposed skeleton, it wore black, brown and grey rags. Along with a large brown scarf.
"What the...who are you?"
"I am Hakai...goddess of death!!!"
The deer skulled woman laughed loudly...
"And if I remember..."
She lifted her finger, and the large crystal was hovered into the sky by the mist.
"This was the key to your plan right?"
Aci fully turned to her.
"P-put that down!!!"
"Oh? Down? Okay!"
Hakai giggled, and the crystal fell onto the hardened ice of the room.
"NO!!!"
Aci ran over in panic, her crystallized armor vanishing.
"hahahah!!! Now...DIE!!!"
Hakai and the rest of her little group jumped down from the skylight, with Hakai herself going for Aci, launching a knife connected to her wrist by a chain made of the black and white mist.
Aci stood up, crystalizing her arms to block the knife.
Hakai landed and engaged Aci in hand to hand, her chained dagger being a very useful tool.
Some of the others ran over to help Kuta.
"W-what...? What happened...?" Kuta struggled.
"Don't worry about it, just let us help."
They began to patch up his injures.
Aci and Hakai's battle was going in Hakai's favor, backing Aci into a wall...
"And...gotcha!"
Hakai launched the knife, manipulating the chain to decapitate Aci.
Aci began to melt...but so did the castle around them...
But the fall never came, the melting of the ice was smooth...putting everyone back on the same hill Aci had cast the snowstorm from.
Hakai looked out upon the field of snow...which had begun to melt.
Kuta had gotten to his feet...and walked close to her.
His vision distorted...flashing back to Marcy in her room...stating her will to end...
"...Marce?"
Hakai giggled...turning to Kuta...
In a small burst of the mist...Marcy was back.
Her black and purple eyes...soft face...tanned skin...black hair...
"Hey you..."
She giggled, kissing him.
