The New World

Chapter Nine

RIN

We finally got to the throne room and I dismissed the guard.

"Mother." Nyx said as we both bowed.

"Nyx, Rin, hello. How did everything go? Is everything okay?" The queen said, her voice was full of concern.

"Everything is just fine." I said reassuringly, smiling softly.

"Are you sure?"

Nyx nodded, "Yes."

The queen looked skeptical but let it go. "Alright, I just wanted to make sure everything was okay, you can go now."

I had already started walking away as I say Nyx now and walk the other way.

I decided I would go to the training room to blow off steam.

I was wearing black spandex and a black sports bra as I fought one of the robots. Yea, robots. Apparently, the gods were that advanced.

The robot went to punch me but I weaved and went for an uppercut. It stumbled back and I took that opportunity to raise my leg and knee it in the face. It's head hung as it turned off to signal that I have won.

I heard clapping and saw Khalida leaning on the wall. "Good job Rin." She said approvingly as she walked over to me.

"Hey, and thanks." I said, "What's up?"

"I heard about your little episode this morning. What happened?" She asked.

"Apparently Zayus has been poisoned." I said angrily, that voice in the back of my head came back. 'MY dragon. They DARE.'

"Really?"

"Yea. My eyes turned black because I was mad and blah blah." I rolled my eyes.

"I also heard you and Nyx fighting."

I stiffened. "Mind your own business."
I went and turned on a robot to spar with.

"She's just concerned, I don't blame her."

"None of your business." I growled, getting tired of this topic.

"She loves you, y'know."

I stopped. "Excuse me?"

"She loves you."

"She doesn't love me. And if she does, then that's foolish on her part." I say as I turn back to her, forgetting about the robot.

"Hey, watch it!" She warned.

I turned but it was too late and I was punched in the face by the stupid robot. I fell on my butt and watched as Khalida ran over and shut off the robot. She wiped under my nose and showed me her hand which now had blood on it.

"Your fault." I shrugged as I got up.

"Maybe, but you should have payed more attention." She said.

"Oh well." I wiped my bloodied nose and turned to her.

"Spar?" She asked.

"Always." I laughed.

"Alright, I'll set up the barrier." The barrier was basically a magical field. She spread it around the palace. How it worked was while you fought, if things were broken, at the end of the fight the barrier would close and fix them. It worked on anything. Some weird Miraculous Ladybug shit if you ask me. "Alright, ready?"

"Yea."

"Here are the rules. Rules: Nothing fatal. Fight until someone surrenders. If you want to surrender, say 'done'. We use healing spells afterwards. Loser buys ice cream. Good?" She asks.

"Yep, in advance, thanks for my ice cream."

"You wish, start."

And with that, she zoomed forward using her wings to propel her as she aimed a punch at my jaw. I dodged and as she passed me I elbowed her in the back, she coughed and sputtered as she stumbled to regain her balance.

I flew up, hovering in the air and waiting. She flew up infront of me and kicked my side with enough force that it broke my ribs. She then grabbed and twisted my arm, breaking that too. I sucked in a breath as I uppercut her jaw and kneed her side. I sent her flying so hard that she went through four walls before she stopped. I winced as I didn't mean to hit her that hard.

"How was that?" I yell after her as I fly to where she landed.

"Awesome..." She struggled to say as she choked on her own blood.

"Had enough?" I started to get worried that I fatally wounded her.

"Course not." She said as she grinned.

I watched as she attempted to get up but realized her legs were broken and she slumped back again with a sigh. "Done..." She said regrettably.

"Like I said, thanks for my ice cream." I smirked as I kneeled infront of her, hovering my not broken arm over her broken limbs. A dim green light emits from my hand, healing her bones, scrapes, and bruises.

"Yea whatever." She rolled her eyes. "Thank you."

"Mhm." I hummed.

"Great match you two." I heard a female voice. Not just a female voice. The female voice. It was Izinami.

I looked to see where she was and it turns out we crashed into the...shit. We crashed into the throne room and Iz was on her throne. "I-Iz. Hello, thank you."

"Rin?" A small and scared voice asked.

I turn to the door to see the king, Obsidian, and last but not least, the source of the terrified voice. Nyx.

How do you guys think Nyx is feeling right now?

Hey guys, I'm sorry for the slow update and short chapter. I've been having writers block and didn't know what to do so, yea. Sorry about that 🥲
