— chapter 15 ; enough fighting

"Tsaritsa." You slid across the floor when the giant's hand exploded once again that made a lot of sharp icicles fly everywhere because of your small stars.

Standing up straight, your narrowed e/c eyes made contact with her cold ones. "You will only waste all your energy on making large creatures to defend yourself."

She grits her teeth in frustration, but makes herself relaxed. You didn't know about her trying to buy time to make sure that every sculpture that you break, the particles that flies carelessly contains poison that goes straight at you.

"Do not say a word." She raises her right arm and the giant behind her went towards you. Its palm was moving downwards quickly and you got distracted. You were crushed.

Not a problem though, it is normal. You are fighting against an Archon after all.

You had a hard time standing up but your efforts were not in vain as you slowly lifted the hand that almost crushed you to death. Using both of your arms to hold a finger, you pulled it towards you and sent it flying to the air.

"Oh?" You hummed in amusement while watching it disappear in the air. Once it was out of sight, you sighed. This fight was getting rather pointless. You observed your body and Tsaritsa's body.

Hers were full of blood and scratches, the cause would be the pointy ends of your stars and your brutal meteors that keeps hitting her at random angles. Yours was starting to pale as she keeps trapping you with her Cryo powers.

Your face, arms and legs had large frozen marks, making it hard for you to move fast. She was crazy strong. You liked it. You could use her power for a good use.

"It must be sad to be the only one residing here in this Palace." The white haired female frowned at your words, though she said nothing. "Say, why don't you come with me? Being with me would make you stronger and even wiser. Staying in this area with a bunch of.. mortals, would only be a hindrance."

You looked at her straight in the eyes and shrugged lazily. "And besides, based on the information I got from us merely fighting, I have a clue on what your motives are. Don't worry.. I understand what you feel." Her shoulders started trembling with her fists tightly clenched. "You know nothing."

She started muttering words under her breath, words that holds deep hatred towards you.

"Mhm. Then, correct me if I am wrong, but you are really planning to kill me, right? One of the reasons would be me entering your so called Palace without permission, but it is also because that you now know the purpose of my sole existence."

Tsaritsa gulped, starting to get nervous as you were slowly exposing her plan. You lift a finger from your right hand and pretended to act surprised. "Oh! So, to summarize — Your aim is to bring Celestia down."

The Archon's heart dropped after you finished your sentence. You figured it out so fast, was the poison too obvious? No, that can't be. Did someone tell you about her plan? That was possible, but only a few knows about why you are existing in this world. But.. how, how?

"I am a genius." You stated with a teasing grin as if you knew what was going on inside of her head.

Because of your display of behavior, Tsaritsa finally snapped. Without a second thought, she releases steam off of her body as she starts levitating from the ground. You only watched with half lidded eyes.

Light blue steam started to turn into mist, then turned into a weird color that was far from light blue. The aura surrounding her was getting stronger, too. You could tell that she wasn't using her Cryo powers anymore.

You were pretty sure of that, but then, where is she getting this source of power?

All of a sudden, the door busted open and the Jester went inside in a rush. He looked at the Cryo Archon with panic in his eyes, very unusual of him.

"Your Majesty! Please, refrain yourself from using your delusion." He yelled out. You stood there, dumbfounded. Well, this is awkward. A silence took over the room for a bit, it seemed like the Archon was contemplating as she reaches the ground but still having a mist surrounding her.

You crossed your arms because it felt like days before she could answer, a gentle laugh left her lips. "You shouldn't order me, Pierro. Though, I will let this one slide. I let my emotions take over." What the hell.

She gives you a closed eye smile. "Oh, my apologies. Since you are my guest, I should probably treat you with the utmost respect, am I right?" You knew that it was an act ,yet you felt yourself shiver because what the fuck that was disgustingly disgusting.

You didn't reply to Tsaritsa as you only stared at her weirdly. Her eye twitched, "Follow me, let us continue to conversation in my throne room." Then, she leaves. Probably going to her.. throne room. Could you trust her?

Whatever. I'm not going to die, anyway.

Of course, you were very reluctant to follow her, but you had no choice. You had to. You needed someone or something to clear your boredom. And also, someone to help you with your current situation.

You walked behind her with Pierro trailing behind you, too. Scrunching up your face in realization, you sighed. The two people you were with — really, really loathes you.
