Princess Crystal of Coralon

Chapter 37

I was back in that weird blank room in my mind. I figured my eyes were glowing white back in the real world.

"Why did you bring me here?!" I yelled at the figure approaching me. "What's the point? Why didn't you just kill me when you had the chance?!" He didn't answer. That was when I noticed that her was getting too close.

I clenched my fist and aimed a punch right at his face. But he caught it. He held my fist between his thumb and index finger with an amused grin on his lips. Then I used my other hand to punch him, which he easily caught with his fingers.

"Let.... me.... go!" I yelled through gritted teeth, struggling to overpower him. "Okay." His bright green eyes glimmered menacingly before he held tightly onto my right fist and twisted it. Really hard.

I screamed out in pain as I fell to the ground with a loud thud. First my shoulder was broken then my wrist. Things could not have gotten any worse. I sobbed silently, struggling to lift my hand. "I brought you in here for a reason...." his cold voice whispered in my ear.

Then the white ground beneath me turned into lush green grass. I quickly glanced up, seeing the familiar trees with bright pink leaves swaying in the wind. "It's that place again..." I muttered. "Your mind is far too powerful," Damian said. "I need to destroy it before I can destroy you...."

"What?" I said, staggering to my feet. The moment I spun around to face him, I was knocked back to the ground by a powerful water blast. That's how it went for a while. I slowly got to my feet only to fall back down by another attack.

I was extremely exhausted. I tried to block his attack but somehow, I still got hurt. "S-stop," I whispered helplessly. "Please." "Now why would I do that?" He sneered evilly at me. "Listen!" I begged as I slowly got to my feet. "Look at what you're doing! You're destroying Coralon, almost killing your friends and family! You almost killed your own sister!"

"Enough!!" He yelled angrily as he blasted me nearly a hundred feet back. When I landed, I felt my back wet. I was in another pool of water. It wasn't like the pool back in the real world. It was light blue and calm instead of dark green and murky.

A few feet in front of me, my uncle jumped into the water, causing it to make a large splash. Does this guy ever END!?! I frantically thought, standing up and holding my shoulder with my broken hand. "Die now," he said. The menacing grin was completely wiped from his face. He stared at me with pure hatred in his eyes.

He shot both hands forward, causing two streams of water to head towards me. I was able to block one with my fire powers but since I had only one functioning hand, the other hit me straight in the face.

Then he started laughing. Again. His mouth made a loud, disturbing cackle that caused me to shove my left hand onto my ear. This can't be stopped.... I thought.

This dude is unstoppable. Now, Coralon's gonna be taken over by this crazy man and it's all my fault. Then he'll take over my mind and kill me and....

I silently gasped. "That's it.." I muttered. The moment I saw Damian's shadow approaching me I flipped around and rapidly kicked my feet, causing fire balls to be shot straight at his face. He growled . "How can you still be standing?!" He yelled angrily, glaring at me with a burn mark on his cheek.

"I'd like to ask you the same thing.." I answered boldly as the confidence returned to my voice. We stood across from each other, glaring deadly daggers. The entire place was silent, like the environment was watching us intently.

He clenched his fist and jumped forward to attack me. Then, he froze. I held up my left hand, controlling a trail of water to wrap around his balled fist. He glanced surprisedly at his hand before shaking his head and turning back to face me. He had another trail next to his fist, but it suddenly splashed back into the pond as I wrapped the water around his hand.

Then I quickly latched two more onto his ankles. I held them tightly onto him, like chains that would never break. "Wha-how?!" He asked in astonishment as he squirmed around, trying to break free. "You forgot, this is my mind, and you can't control me anymore!" I held tightly onto the ends of the water trails, refusing to let go.

"Let me go you little brat!" He growled.

"Listen to me," I said darkly. I even caught a glimpse of my uncle flinching at the sound of my voice. "I was just a normal princess learning the elements with my royal trainer before YOU came along." As I spoke I slowly pulled him closer to me.

"I had to endure painful princess training, my mom's cold behavior.... I was even forced to get together with a random guy!" I yelled. "I fought in The Battle of Elementals, fought a bunch of your stupid ninjas, went through EACH AND EVERY challenge to get my powers.... and you think I'm gonna be defeated that easily?"

"What you're doing to me is nothing, " I smirked menacingly at him. "I've felt worse."

At that point he was directly in front of my face. I suddenly felt a wave of adrenaline rush over me. With one swift move, I kicked my uncle right in the guts and sent him flying away from me.

"Your time is over," I said.

A/N

Ahh... this wonderful book will be coming to an end soon.

Sad... I know 😢😢

Oh well. Nothing good lasts forever I guess.

I'm not sure if anyone saw it, but that part where Crystal said she's felt worse was taken from Lapis in  Steven Universe. :p
