Amber isn't normal. Oh did I mention that she 's obsessed with bananas? The Amber in my story is much more boring. All she can do is shoot fireballs out of her hands and stuff like that. Boring right? The evil School of Zale has different plans for...
Is it a wonder that as soon as Livia heard that Elsa had failed that she just sent the things around her flying in rage? I mean it would be weird if she was any other elemental specialist, but being a death specialist, she tended to let her feeling go, and let the world deal with it. Especially since her favorite quote is:
If a girl is mad and raging, she is probably not mad at you. In fact, more than likely she is mad at the world, but because you are part of the world , she has every right to take it out on you. -Som E. Body
That was her life quote. She calmed herself down, and cleaned up the soda can bits that she had exploded. Then, she thought of her second order of business, punishing Elsa for what she has done. In fact, her #1 rule was: NO FAILURE! Elsa was gonna pay...
A hour later...
Livia had finally decided what she was gonna do to Elsa, a public demonstration! She would make an example out of Elsa for anyone else who was even thinking about failing. Immediately, she sent out her faithful, but clueless servant Rebecca to get her.
Elsa arrived on time, for once. She looked beat up and tired, the death shot had done a lot to her. For a moment she felt a pang of sympathy, but then Livia realized what had happened, she NEVER spares anyone.
"Go get everyone, and tell them to go the the Arena, I have a demonstration." Livia whispered into Rebecca's ear.
Rebecca's bright green eyes grew to the size of the moon, as clueless as she was, even she knew how bad Livia's demonstrations could get. "Yes ma'am!" She said quietly.
Once she had left her chamber, Livia wheeled around and faced Elsa, and bore her icy eyes into Elsa. The fearless soldier on battlefield looked really scared, and looked down, unwilling to look directly at Livia.
"What have you got to say about yourself?" Livia said, sitting down at her desk, but continuing to glare at Elsa.
"We- I failed..." Elsa stammered. "Their forces were stronger than expected, they had a death elemental, a kid named Rishabh I think that could multi-summon, 2 kids when fighting together are stronger than a whole army put together-"
"Be quiet!" Livia yelled, "Enough with the excuses, tell me the real reason that you guy were humiliated."
"We were humiliated..." Elsa mumbled
"LOUDER!" Livia screamed hysterically, she was losing control of her emotions, and when that happened, it was NEVER good.
"We were humiliated because of my horrible leadership." Elsa said shakily.
"There we are, " Livia cooed, "We lost because you are a TERRIBLE LEADER!!!!" her voice suddenly turned diamond hard. "You know what?" Livia said with her teeth clenched, " I think that we should do a demonstration, with you being the subject."
"No!"Elsa pleaded "Please no!"
Livia's heart had hardened to rock though, she could feel her saneness slip away like something slippery. "Of course, why not?" She laughed maniacally."Prepare the Arena!"
Livia got Elsa the Demonstration's uniform, which involved an enchantment that limited their power, their movement, and their speed.

The Arena Suits looked something like this
After Elsa was forced into the uniform, she was marched into the Arena, full of jeering and booing people. The Arena's design was a lot like the Roman Colosseum, but much more high tech, and magically updated.
Once Livia and Elsa were both in the Arena, the Demonstration begun. It first started with what the charged did wrong, depending on how bad it was, the worse, the higher number of whippings they got, the less severe, they less number of whippings they got. Then after the whippings is the animal fights, with a limit of 5 spell casts in this round, the criminal is to fight 5 starving wild creatures, such as lions. Finally, if the criminal is still alive, they were to battle Livia herself, the mistress of spell casting and all kinds of combat, to the death. The criminal and Livia both have unlimited spells.
"Elsa Brown has been charged with the breaking of Rule Number One: No failure," Livia read aloud, her voice magically amplified by the air magic in the Arena, "Therefore she will be punished with 15 lashes to the back."
The crack of the whip was also amplified, along with Elsa's cries of pain. The crowd cheered louder as the number of lashings increased. 1,2,3,4,5, Elsa looked in a really bad physical condition that is unable to be put in words. 6,7,8,9,10, multiply that times two. 11,12,13,14,15, Elsa nearly collapsed, but she stood up shakily. The crowd groaned. (They are a really cruel and blood-thirsty crowd, haven't you noticed?)
Next came the animal battles, 5 blood-thirsty and starved lions were released into the Arena, after they were placed in, the floor was sealed, and firewalls burst up all around.(tip top virus protection! :P) Livia looked up, she hadn't expected Elsa to make it that far.
Oh well, she thought. If she makes it past then I can at least show off my new sword . She thought to herself.
All around her, she suddenly heard a gasp. She stared into the Arena. Somehow, by some miracle, Elsa had already taken down 4 out of the 5 lions. Elsa looked really exhausted though, she took aim at the last lion with fire, and shot it, but missed. The crowd around her cheered. With no spells left, all Elsa could do was fight with weapons, which she sucked at.
Elsa walked up to a sword and picked it up, shrugging she swiped at the lion lazily. The nimble cat easily leaped out of the way though, and nearly onto her. The two of them continued to play like that until the lion looked tired, and Elsa looked recharged with her energy. At last, Elsa went in, and plunged her sword into the beast's heart, and it collapsed, on the floor, it swiped at Elsa one last time. When Elsa dodged, the light in it's eyes went out, and glazed over.
She could hear collective groaning around her, and suddenly realized that it was her turn. Grabbing her new sword, she took a breath, and stepped onto the battlefield.
