Who would of known the cryo archon wouldn't disappoint the title of 'archon'. Then again you would have to have zero brain cells to think a god would be week as a mortal.

"So then my little snezhinka.... are you ready?" She slowly frozen then windows and doors so that no one could invade our duel. Its now or never, I shall show you how strong I am.

"Am ready" I held the sword on my when and saluted at her in respect.

The tsaritsa smiled at me "Excellent." The cryo archon then stepped forward and raised her own sword. She was determined to give me the best duel she could, and she was ready to give it her all.

"Come at me, my child" Tsaritsa commanded with a sturn voice and she slowly turned the once stonecobble room into a winter wonderland.

Without a second thought I rushed towards her with my sword aimed towards her, I would be lying if I said I wasn't terrified fighting her and am starting to have second thoughts but I can't undo the choice of path I decided to walk down.

At the start of the fight, Tsaritsa moved backwards in order to get a better feel for how i fought and to me it looked like she was looking for any weaknesses and learn how to counter my strikes.

Safe to say that my attacks where quickly and aggressively, yes this was a good strategy that can be very effective dependingon the situation, but it was also quite predictable, and it looks like the Tsaritsa analysis my moves easily.

She then stepped forward and quickly countered with a sharp thrust of her sword, I was lucky enough to doge the strike "fighting like that will get you no where. Did Tatiana not teach you correctly?"

"Of course she did! Am I just that predictable with my moves?" I continued to swing my blade at her and she swiftly doged all of my slashes.

Tsaritsa smirked and nodded her head.
"They were predictable, yes. But don't let that dishearten you. You're a fast and aggressive fighter with a lot of potential. You need to work on your technique and find ways to be less predictable, but your speed and confidence are a good start."

Is she.... teaching me while duleing me?

"Come at me again. I want to see if you've learned anything from my counter i did."
She wants me to learn from weaknesses? I see so she is teaching me

I aimed my sword into sky and quickly tried to strike her again. Tsaritsa watched as i  pointed my sword upwards and she saw anothrr opportunity to teach her me a  lesson.

"Don't leave your sword up in the air like that. Keep your sword low and close to your body to allow you more control over the blade and to prevent your opponent from taking advantage of openings."

Tsaritsa attacked quickly again, aiming a sharp blow towards my  wrist with the and  disarmed "Ow hey that hurt you know!" I dropped my sword as I looked at the cut on my wrist.

Wait....

there no blood?

Just a clean cut?

Just like when the shogun struck me with her sword... nothing but a scratch remained.

"You are still young my child... the world will still be here when you are old enough,I promise" tsaritsa then shattered all of ice and snow that was in the room and there was no evidence left of a winter storm taking place in that room.

"Mother... what am I?" I looked out at her with my shimmering cut on my wrist in her view. She looked down at me with slight empathy in her eyes.

"Maby it's time to tell you somthing"

This is a story about queen vila that ruled her icy kngdom of fairy's, elvs and all sorts of creatures . She and her loyal followers guided the citizens of the snowy kingdom. However queen villa couldn't help by knowtis a growing hole in her chest that felt like was slowly consuming her body.

The Queen realised that watching over her subjects and witnessing how their families grew, a dark void of envy was slowly eating her heart.

"Why do I not have a child?" She asked the sun. The sun looked down at the queen and said these words " you are the queen and must look over your subject, a child would get in your way. Besides, your body was not made to procreate"

The queen vila slowly felt into depression, not being able to bare a child and didn't even wish to step put of her Chambers. One night one of her loyal followers came back with a gift.

A beautiful crystal that luminated under the sunlight. "Your majesty,this is a gift from the land am from. It will grant you one wish"

The queen's eyes shimered with hope as she accepted this generous gift that her follower had given her. She held the gem close to her chest and said these words.

"I wish to have a child, a child of my own and experience a life of a mother to the fullest, I want them to live a long and fulfilling life and to one day take down the sun"

And thus her wish came true and gave birth to their child without the sun knowing...

Tsaritsa just sighed and patted my head "just this about it child oh and starting tomorrow,  you can train again your very rusty in combat" she then left me alone in the hall.
