Splatoon: Love Between Species

Chapter 48: Blinding Love

~~
~~

Champions and warriors yelled and roared as they stormed their way through the bloody and decaying dirt. Fallen bodies were spread far and wide as many fought back and forth....mighty warriors.....Vs the heroic champions of the empire that stood tall and proud behind their heroic forces, protected by their pride, along with the mighty stone walls that surrounded it.

A woman sat on her throne with a beautiful smile on her face as her eyes were closed.....she took a deep breath as her hands rested on her sword....she stood up just as her throne doors opened, and a simple soldier ran in directly to the woman.

The soldier was covered in bruises and wounds that even laid visible under his broken armor.....he fell to his knees and panted heavily as he looked up at the woman, noticing his broken sword slide out of his sheath and hit the royal carpet, drenching blood on the material.......

Soldier:.....Q-Queen Isabella!! They are breaching our defenses!!! If this continues, we'll......w-we'll.....

The soldier grunted in annoyance from his own weakness, punching the ground while gritting his teeth. Isabella stared at the young man....then gave him a gentle smile......she picked up her sword and gently slid it into her own sheath as she walked down her steps, approaching the man.....

He couldn't bring himself to look at her....because he already expected a look of annoyance...disappointment....anger.......pity.....a look that would only make his pride crumble before him. The queen slowly kneeled in front of the man, then placed her hand on his chin gently......

She lifted his head and made him look at her.....when he finally glanced at her.....his eyes were immediately caught in her beauty......her delicate smile and dark skin....followed along by her eyes that shined the pure color of golden Yellow and synced perfectly with her Midnight blue hair....

Isabella:.........I'm proud.....you did what you could........

Soldier:...............but.........it wasn't enough..........

The queen let out a small giggle, and stood up before him, making him look up at her, before standing afterwards as well.......he saw her courageous stare outwards, towards the battlefield past the mighty glass within her throne room, and with a nice breath....she reached up and straightened her crown.......

Isabella: it was more than enough.........

The queen smirked and let out a little "hmph" of determination as she walked past the soldier and towards her throne room doors.

Isabella:.......as long as I live and breathe.....I will fight......protect the ones I love......and beat the odds.....with my heart being as strong as the steel from my sword!

She grabbed her sword and pulled it out of its sheath, smiling and letting out a little chuckle.....which only left him stunned by her gentle, yet stern and Courageous nature.......

Isabella:.....the second I step onto the battlefield........fear will only be inflicted on one side during the conflict..........and it will be the side that gives my blade a astonishing refreshment of blood and fury!!

She pressed against her door with one hand, opening it slightly, but she looked back at the soldier one last time.

Isabella: even if my body is bloody, bruised, and dull.......you will never see a single scratch within my crown......mark my words.....

Isabella let out a laugh and ran off....leaving the soldier completely shocked and frozen......and the only thing that he saw...was his broken blade next to him.....he saw his reflection within the blood......then gritted his teeth as his picked it up and ran out to join the battle once more by her side.......
