Frostbite

Chapter thirteen-a debt settled

As she was about to open the fourth door, she heard footsteps behind her. She summoned a sword as she swung around and nearly decapitated Firefly.

"Firefly what are you doing here-!?" She asked in shock.

Firefly shrugged as all of Frost’s minions entered and lined up around her in a semi-circle.

"We got bored and there was no action at all. We heard some parts of your battle as well,” Firefly replied. 

Frost shrugged, "alright then. Well, I'm actually glad you're here. Behind me is the fourth general and then the throne room where hopefully, my father is." 

Firefly nodded and listened intently to what Frost had to say, "So, what's the plan?"

Frost crossed her arms, "I'll deal with the spider demon. Don't interfere. I have  a grudge to settle with her unless I'm about to die of course," Fost remembered the angels fighting outside and decided to ask Firefly about them, "The angels are still outside keeping his forces outside right?" 

Firefly answered her question with a nod.

"Alright, at least we know they're still fighting. How are they holding up?" Frost asked.

Firefly replied quickly, "They've taken losses, but overall, they’re still holding strong. The majority of the  forces under your father's control have been weakened by the sheer power of so many angelic warriors.”

Frost thought of her friends among the angels and asked about them with a hint of concern," Rose, Serena, and the Captain? How are they? 

"Still kicking," Firefly confirmed, a hint of a smile curling her lips.

Frost sighed in relief. She was never the fondest of angels and other heavenly beings. Even now, she got along with only a  few angels. Rose, the Captain, and Serena were the very first angels she had actually enjoyed being around. 

She shook her head to clear her thoughts, "alright, here's the plan. I'll deal with the spider demon. After she's been killed, take the higher positions around him and wait for my signal,”

Firefly nodded and asked with a smile, "you absorbed crabby boy’s essence, didn't you?" 

Frost nodded and smiled in confirmation.

Firefly chuckled, "he had it coming. That upper-class ahole,”

Frost shrugged then said, "Alright then, let's go." 

Firefly nodded and split the group of knight minions into two groups. They moved to surround the rooms.

 Frost murmured quietly, "Also, look out for those portals. You probably saw them already," 

Firefly nodded, "Trust me, I know. IT sent an imp into a fire pit.”

Frost chuckled and replied, "It sent me into a pile of crates and barrels,”

Firefly laughed, "pfft," then added, "alright, we need to move. See you," She said to Frost who received a nod as a reply.

As the group left her sight, Frost placed her hands on the door and breathed out an anxious sigh. This was it, the final general, and the one she hated the most out of the four.

She pushed the doors open and was immediately attacked by four spider demons. They were very similar to black widow spiders from the earth but bigger than an adult human. She jumped back and avoided their venomous dripping fangs.
