Chapter 3 - Overthroned Ice

Her heart was full of love. Even her realm was frozen, her love for her people was fair.

She is Hana. The prime goddess of ice. The third princess of Cobalion. Her benevolent reign over the realm of Gylcerac or Glycerac in the mid west, made the whole realm joyfully and living with peace.

But because of her own sister's greediness, her once warm loving heart will become cold until it'll become frozen.

========================================================================

After her banishment, Luna wander around from one realm to another. Seeking through a plot hole to brainwash other gods. Soon she find herself into the cold realm of her sister Hana, goddess of ice. With her twisted mind full of hatred, she is desperate to have revenge on her sister Quamara. So with the last of her powers she teleported into Hana's castle.

Hana was sitting on her throne alone while playing her ice powers. Her palace is very majestic in white. Her people cherish her reign with prosperous achievement.

While playing she was distracted when her sister suddenly stumbled upon her front.

She was horrified of the sight. She immediately ran towards her weakened sister.

"Sister! What happened to you?" asked the young goddess at her weakened sister, after seeing it appear in her front.

"It's Quamara! She overpowered me! She took every last bit of my power!" answered the mischievous goddess.

Hana was shocked of Luna's answer. Quamara couldn't do such bad things! She is a kind goddess and always fair.

"But it can't be–I know her, she will never do that sister", replied the ice goddess. "Let's talk about this when you feel okay" she later said.

"Maids? Please show a kind heart and bring my sister to a vacant room."

The princess command her maids to clean one of the rooms of her palace where her weakened sister can stay. As the princess told them, they constantly do what she said and put the royal princess onto her sleep.

After that night, Hana goes at her sister's bedroom to talk about what really happened.

She opened the frozen door and walked in. There at the side of the bed sat the weakened and lonely goddess.

"How are you feeling now my sister?" asked the ice goddess.

"I'm okay now sister, but our evil sister is not okay!" replied Luna.

Hana still couldn't understand the fact that Quamara can hurt and banished her own sister. The two of them were the closest sisnce their birth.

"Tell me sister, what's going on before she banished and took your powers?" asked the princess.

"I don't know, I think she's jealous because of my powers over the night, one day she refuse to lower the sun. I told her to stop, but she used her powers to kill me! She even hit me with her sun blast. Then just for a moment she cast me out of her palace and cast a spell to take my powers away from me!" replied the crying Luna.

"But I know Celestia, she will never do such thing." reasoned Hana.

"Just as I thought of that, but we're wrong! She is evil! We need to get my powers back or she will kill us all!" answered Luna.

"Yes sister I'll do that, I will confront her, but for now I have to rule my subjects for that they would be ready for another war. Hana said.

The young goddess walk away from her sister's room. Little did she know that it is a trap.

"Hmmpp, now that she's gone! I have to find another way to set a new fleet from the underworld!" Grinned Luna as she packed up her things ready to go.

While Hana is busy doing her royal duty. Luna slipped out of her palace and went to the underworld.

There she found millions of dead gods that was slained long before her father ruled. She also saw some of the most famous people born with magical powers.

But there is one thing that she wanted to see, its the evil god Dryvucos. She walked many miles just to see the murderer god. Atlast, in the most rigid part of the underworld there is a dark cave full of dark creatures guarding the lustrous deity.

"Who dare trespass this part of the underworld?" asked a golden hawk.

"I am Luna, goddess of the night," replied the annoyed goddess.

"Oh my great apologies my royal highness...I did not recognized your glimmering beauty." Answered the hawk trying to pleased the princess with his sweet words.

"Very well, Now let me talk to the powerful criminal. I have a proposal to deal with him." Luna stated as she walk a few steps forward towards the beast.

She walked a little more closer to the cage.

"Look I am here, to have a deal with you. I have a problem which can be only solved by our dark forces joined together. I can make your god blood flow again into your veins and I have this spell that can make you alive again!" stated the powerful goddess.

"Why so princess it's been a thousand years after your brother killed me. There should be change if he wanted to. But why are you doing this?" asked the approaching god.

His voice is so rusky, signifying that he is really been kept there for thousands of years.

"It's a long story, but I am sure that if we're together we can finally defeat our enemies. I know we have difficult feud a long time ago but I'll forget that. So deal?" Luna asked as she raised her hand trying to have a handshake.

"Gladly, your highness," replied the evil god.

Luna casted a dark spell to break the chains of her new found ally. Using the small percentage of her power she managed to tear it appart.

"Vor gus non ego sicut vos", she casted three times as she tried to break the black chains binding the evil god.

Atlast she managed to break the chains.

After his reincarnation several mysterious events happened next. Souls of the dead gods was unleashed.

The sky darkened, significance of darkness within the realm.

And some gods felt a similar presence, it seemed a long time ago. Prince Sky noticed it too, but with his magical barrier, he stood calm that no one could enter his palace.

After Luna resurrected the evil god, she came back to her sister's palace as there nothing happened. She directly go to her room and locked herself up all evening.

Morning came to the palace of ice. Princess Hana is excited to talk to her sister that morning. Little did she know that her sister's room is empty.

Meanwhile at the highest tower of Hana's palace, where the royal treasure room located. Luna was reaching the tip of the hall.

"Finally after walking from these walls, I've finally gotten into this cold room!" Luna stated.

The room is filled with gold and gems. There are large portraits of several past kings and queens. Some of the royal artifacts of the kingdom is also stored there. But the goddess of the moon is seeking for the only artifact with the greatest magic in the realm of Gylcerac, the ice bow.

Using this weapon can make anyone that can be hit with the magical arrow into ice or worse to stone. It is one of the seven weapons their brother had created for them.

"Hahahaha", laughed the goddess. "I have now the weapon of my sister! with this I can control a large amount of my sister's domain of ice!", she chuckled.

She didn't know that Hana overheard her statement.

"What did you say? This is all a lie?" Asked the confused Hana as she trembling with anger that some of her face was covered with ice.

"That isn't my fault if you're a fool to believe me Hana, but this bow is mine!" Luna answered as she takes aim to hit her sister with her own weapon.

Hana looked at her ice bow. She didn't move a single bit. She knew that even how many times Luna could hit her, she won't turn into ice.

"No, I can't let you do this! You may have my weapon, but you can't take my ice powers from me sister!" shouted the angry ice goddess.

"Then do it! You are not powerful–you are weak!" repiled Luna.

Hatred is starting to show in Hana's face, as she raised her hands and shouted a spell.

"As the goddess of ice, I command thee and thine, let snow filled this room, and return once mine."

A flash of bluish white light was seen across the tower. It's one of the 3 elemental spells of shivriea. The tension between the two primordial goddesses is becoming more intense.

"I wonder how could you let an intruder get in to your palace." Luna sadistically said, as if she is trying to tease her sister.

Suddenly, a loud sound, an explosion, was heard underneath the certain tower. The two sisters immediately run to the balcony to see what happened.

"How certainly would you like it sister? It's my new found ally," Luna bragged.

"No it's imposible, Dryvucos is alive? But how?", Hana curiously panicked as she glare towards her evil sister.

"I know you knew about this!", Hana shouted as she formed a sword out of snow with her bare hands. Luna is just calm, head high upon her sister.

On the other hand the forces of Dryvucos is battling the fleets of Hana. No one knows who will prevail between the two forces of magic.

This seems a threat to Hana that she suddenly teleported into the battlegrounds to protect her subjects as their princess. This situation leaves an idea for Luna to murder her sister.

"Whatever you do, you will not prevail Hana." Luna slowly said as she looked upon her vanishing sister.

When Hana got into the siege, her army is falling apart. The columns of her kingdom were broken. And the only one that is not damaged is her ice throne.

"What is happening here? Where is my commanders, my allies, my friends?" asked Hana as her face and her entire body froze and turn to ice. It was her demonic side!

Her hair was still flowing, but eyes turned into blue. Her body turned into a frozen moving demon.

"Well, well, if isn't the goddess of ice, turns cold. Can't handle your magic?", asked a mysterious man wearing a dark cape, while dragging his obsidian core sword.

"Don't try me, we've already defeated you a thousand years ago; I am sure I can do that myself!" Hana said as she formed a group of ice swords.

"Meyatra vicuos iceglack", shouted the angered goddess.

The battle began between the two gods. Spells are casted twice as powerful ,but the powers of ice are much stronger for Dryvucos. The goddess is well trained being a patron of hand to hand combat and glacial magic.

The evil god is also well trained in those techniques; but being imprisoned for over a thousand years made the god much weaker than ever before.

But that didn't stopped the god to fight; he casted a black spell turning him into his youthful look temporarily. His white hair slowly turns to black. His red eyes turns to white, white as snow. His broken wings slowly heals as his wrinkled skin slowly turns into pale white.

Forces between the two is so intense, that broken pieces of the throne hall suddenly breaks the laws of gravity.

Dryvucos uses his black blade with his new found power and youth; he is now swift and strong.

The other deity uses only her bare hands coated with pure ice. Swords versus hands, the competition began. In a far away distance, Luna is just watching her own sister fighting for her own life.

"I'd never imagined my sister is this powerful. I wondered if she can defeat me now?", murmured the dark goddess.

Hana was about to slice Dryvucos' chest with ice but a voice prevented her from doing it.

"Stop!" shouted Luna as she slowly walk to her sister's direction.

"I should be the one to defeat my sister", she said as she pulls an arrow ready to shoot her sister.

"So what is this, two on one?" asked the ice goddess. She twisted her wrist and a mysterious ice formed after. An ice sphere!

An ice sphere is a hidden ice technique. A technique that ables the user to fire and shoot ice weapons.

Using her new technique she tried to form another group of ice swords and spears. A blue colored magic circle formed across the hall, holding the signature magic of the goddess. Some of the swords are large but fragile, others are small but surely pointed.

"You planned to attack me with those?" asked her sister, not knowing that Hana had a secret plan.

Hana won't let her sister over throne her as the ruler of Glycerac, the kingdom of ice. Without any reason Hana ran towards her sister. She is now ready to kill her sister for the sake of her kingdom, maybe she is her sister but the love for her kingdom is unimaginable.

They fouth with anger and hatred in their hearts.

Hana, wise and charming, used her magic to stab her sister in the chest, but her sister is too cunning and block her attack with her solid knee.

Both of them are powerful, when Luna tried to hit Hana with a magical arrow, Hana jumped into the air and as she floats in the air she shot the arrow with several ice shards. Luna is now at her limits.

"You're good at this sister, you are really the rightful goddess...to die!" Luna angrily shouted.

As for Hana she is totally ready to outsmart her evil sister. However her temptation was stopped.

Luna smiled at someone behind her sister's back. Hana didn't knew it was all about her plan.

*Schracckk* Dryvucos stabbed Hana at her back! There's nothing Hana could do. Her golden blood that signifies of her royalty as a deity is starting to flow through the ice floor. As the signature of her defeat her powers, all or her ice magic were all transferred to Dryvucos.

White colored magic immediately flew to the air. It was Hana's ice powers.

"Auh! I can feel the ice powers submerging deep in my soul! I'm finally alive again!" Dryvucos hailed himself as if he is so powerful for the darkness to handle.

Meanwhile, In the kingdom of Metallica, realm of the second prince, Riku, he was sitting on to his throne while talking to his council members.

A sharp feeling suddenly strikes his heart as if it was stabbed by a blade.

"Auhhh what is this pain deep in my heart? auhh, wait, Hana!" He suddenly remembered her sister Hana.

The council members immediately helped the aching prince. But he just tapped their shoulders to aim his balance.

"I have to go my friends, guard the palace walls while I'm gone." He commanded over his council members, hoping it would be the best

"Where would you go my prince?" The royal hermit asked as he use his healing magic onto the prince.

"To my sister Hana, I'm afraid there is something wrong happening," Riku responded.

As he activates his right eye to form a type of teleportation magic.

"Whatever happens, don't let anyone enter or leave the palace. Everyone must be safe upon my return," he later commanded.

"Now, princess Hana I could let you live if you will tell me where did your brother hid my golden crown," the evil god offered to the weakened princess, but she didn't responded.

"I presume that will be a no. I have nothing to do with you now! Say goodbye to your kingdom martyr goddess!" Dryvucos laughed as he tried his new found powers onto the lying goddess.

Before Dryvucos could hit her with an icy blast, that's the moment Riku appeared before her sister.

"What have you done to my sister?!" he angrily asked as he cast a metal bound around her lying sister.

"Metal, collapse in me, I swear I ought to be, metals swords shall collide, and by fight by my side!" he casted at Dryvucos as metal swords and shields appeared out of nowhere.

He pointed at Dryvucos with his index finger as a result the swords mysteriously flew to the direction towards at his enemy god.

"Hana, Hana! don't worry my sister I will save you." Riku said at her unconscious and weakend sister. He tried to cast a infiorey spell of teleportation to get out of his sister's castle.

"Metals in the Galaxy, shallow beam, hide the fear, and let us disappear", he chanted.

The moment her siblings had escaped from the ice palace, Luna walked towards the ice throne of her sister and sat onto it.

"How glorious, I am now the new queen of this realm, my own realm!" she cackled as if she is out of her mind.

Meanwhile, at Metallica, the kingdom of the second prince, Riku.

"Sister! wake up, I need you my sister!" his cries can be heard all over the titantium halls of his throne room.

His royal council members immediately ran towards them to save and heal the weakened princess of the fifth realm.

"What had happened to her magesty, our young prince?", his royal advisor asked.

"My vision is true, Dryvucos is alive and in one piece", he stated.
