Chereads / The Leviathan: Malice's Return / Chapter 4 - Hera, The Ice Witch of Ranland

Chapter 4 - Hera, The Ice Witch of Ranland

The two of them open the gates only to be blasted by a wall of Ice and Freezing Air as Hera shouts out a new incantation.

Hera: DEAD FREEZE!

The entire ThunderDome was covered in a massive dome of ice as small orbs of pink and blue light appeared all over the surrounding area.

Hera: Ha ha yes! I finally did it!

Yurie: . . .

Ryker: Fineeee, you win. Tell me what you want later I want to see what those orbs do.

Hera: Oh hey Ryker. Did you get me my new hat yet?

Ryker: No not yet, it's on the way. Jeez it's cold in here.

Hera: If you think that's cool then look at this.

Ryker: Bit colder than cool.

Hera: Freeze in my Eternal Ice Field for all Eternity!

While Hera is chanting this passage the small orbs of light begin to gather in her hand forming ball of Yellow light that only grows in intensity and brightness.

Hera: Now Freeze!

She unleashes an incredible beam of light so strong that it actually cracks the ThunderDome's barrier which had never been done before.

Ryker/Yurie: Woahh that was insane.

Hera: Standing proudly* Damn right it was. Couldn't have said it any better myself.

Ryker: I bet you could've. Was that incantation about Eternal Ice part of it?

Hera: of course it was. It would be incomplete without it.

Ryker/Yurie: Sure.

Yurie: When did you learn that spell anyway?

Hera: Yesterday.

Ryker: Yesterday! It took me a month to learn a beginner spell.

Hera: You're just an idiot then I guess.

Yurie: Really?

Ryker: Thanks Hera, really motivating. I believe you did ask me for a witch hat right?

Hera: In a cold tone* Yeah that's right, it's a replacement for the one YOU ruined.

Ryker: I know I know, jeez Hera you don't have to be so scary.

Hera: You're not gonna pull a fast one on me like you did in 8th grade.

Ryker: I wasn't gonna try that I was just gonna ask where I'm supposed to drop it off.

Hera: Oh, just tell me when you get it and I'll come pick it up at your place.

Ryker: I'll agree to let you over on 1 condition.

Hera: that is?

Yurie: Wait why does she need conditions?

Ryker: No staff, I don't want you to get mad at me and blow me up or something.

Hera: Silly Ryker, you know I can't use fire magic at all. But just imagine how fun it would be to blow stuff. That would be so awesome.

Ryker: Yeah Yeah Explosion Witch we get it. You like blowin stuff up.

Hera: Huh, what's got you in such a bad mood today. You're usually a super introvert but today you really feel the need to say it don't you.

Yurie: Oh no, here we go.

Ryker: Nah I just feel a little different today for some reason.

Hera: oooooooh, got a girlfriend you're not telling us about?

Ryker: Nah, that would be too original. I just got a weird feeling is all. So what's up with you today? You seem pushier than usual.

Hera: My life is none of your business Ryker. I thought you would understand at least that much.

Ryker: But you just- Nevermind.

Hera: That's what I thought. Yurie!

Yurie: Huh, What!

Hera jumps at Yurie and hugs her while laughing in her normal Chuunibyo tone. The two of them chat for a while and then the three of them head back home since it was a holiday that day and school got out after essential classes.
