"If that were to happen there is a chance that multiple people could loose lives. Civilizations destroyed perhaps..." My father said. "The fire kingdom is a force that cannot fall into the wrong hands. Hence why it's always required to be able to step not even less then 30 cm further from the Milana tree when a succession occurs. In more extreme cases the might be required to attain that plant. Like if the crown prince killed someone."
"Huh, I see." Crystal said. "Anyway I want to spar with Lilianna before she leaves. Who knows when I'll see her again." My father shook his head. "Of course you do."
I froze. This is bad... Sparring with Crystal is not a good idea right now. I know how to control magic however princess Lilianna also is supposed to be great at combat. I'm not sure if I can fight Crystal. I know almost nothing about sword fight. 'Damn it. I have to think of a plan quick.' I said in myself.
"C'mon let's go." Crystal said pulling me. I looked to my parents for help. "It's okay. You're sister's right. We don't know when we'll see you again." My mother said.
'Oh, crap. I really got to plan.' Crystal's sign is a libra. Her scales can control gravity. And her sword can move fast while increasing gravity to it's opponent. Even if I manage to knock it out of her hand she'll have some control over it. As a Gemini I am not in a favorable position... 'Think. Think. What can I do? There must be a way out...'
"Okay, let the game begin!" Crystal said. She teleported her scale in her hand. I've written about her but I've never seen her in action. Crystal... Loves sparring and is creative. She gets very exited when she has to spar. Before I knew it my body felt heavy. "The gravity. is. so strong." I said. 'Damn even talking and breathing is hard.' I thought to myself; 'Wait, huh?' Although my body felt heavy I still stood tall. 'Muscle memory, huh?' Well this makes it a little easier. "Lilianna you might wanna move. Staying there like that will tire you out." Crystal said. I looked at her to see her in the sky. 'Oh yes I forgot. The scale can make the owner move faster and even fly. Great... Just great..' I sighed then closed my eyes.
"At the moment only my spirit is weak. If I could somehow make it strong...' I stopped thinking when I realized. 'That's it I'll just protect my spirit with magic energy. That way I can move more easily since I am a higher rank then Crystal.' I materialized both my swords. I felt the energy course and surround me. I smirked. 'Move.'
Third person's perspective.
Crystal was about to taunt Lilianna. However Lilianna's sword flew past Crystal. "Woah!" Crystal said as she dodged Lilianna's sword; "Close one!" Lilianna smiled and made the sword come back. "Oh crap!" crystal said and dodged it many times. 'What is this thing? A missile?' Crystal thought to herself. "Why are you acting like it's your first time Crystal!" Crystal heard Lilianna say. "Shut up, I just lost my balance for a moment!" Crystal said as she materialized my own sword.
Block. Block. Block.
Almost... She almost didn't notice Lilianna's sneak attack from the back. "Nice!" Crystal said and increased the gravity on Lilianna; "But, you're usually faster. Use both swords."
'Oh, crap.' Liliana thought to herself, letting out a stream of incoherent words in herself. Still Lilianna laughed. "I'm afraid the sudden marriage caused a small imbalance in me." She said. Crystal hummed. "That doesn't mean I will go easy on you though." She answer. "Wouldn't have it any other way." Lilianna answered back. Lily closed her eyes and tried to use Lilianna's memory of fighting. Crystal gasped when she saw. "Closing your eyes while we're sparing. Seriously? Are you mocking me?" Crystal said rather then inquired; "Katana! Second form!"
Lilianna's eyes widened when crystal's sword materialized into it's human form. 'I knew her sword was handsome but I didn't think he'd be his handsome.' I thought. "Lilianna, you're married!" Crystal yelled; "Focus on the battle!" Lilianna let her red sword materialize into it's human form as well. "First, I'm not married yet." LiIlianna said. "Second, can you blame me for losing focus?" 'He's way better looking than Malachi.' Lilianna said to herself. Crystal didn't like Lilianna's lack of attention so she increased the gravity level and...
"Gah!" Lilianna said as a sword flew past her; "What the hell!" Lilianna looked at her sword. Her sword just gave her a shrug. "You," Liliana said. "Just you wait until we're done. I'll give you hell if I can find the perfect place in the fire kingdom!"
"Lilianna. Less talk, more fight." Crystal said. "Ok, fine." Lilianna said. With the flick of her pulse Crystal's scale fell out of her hand. A barrier surrounded it. Crystal rose her brow. "You haven't forgotten that I still can control my scale up to 30 minutes right?" She asked Lilianna. "Yes, but at least you have less control." Lilianna replied. To her dismay her sister could dodge every strike of her sword.
Instead of focusing her magic control on Liliana, Crystal used it on herself. 'Holy guacamole, She's getting faster by the minute.' Lilianna thought. Crystal smirked. "Feel my nine kick-fling sister!" She said; "My special move." Lilianna's eyes widened when the increased gravity on her was completely removed. 8 kicks. She was flung upwards in a circle with 8 kicks. "Nine!" Crystal said kicking Lilianna down to the ground.
"Oh, no, no, no. I ain't gonna be handicapped when I meet Malachi again." Lilianna said. Quickly she created a big force of air pressure to create a deacceleration. 'Damn it. This isn't enough! There's not enough distance!' Lilianna thought and looked at the ground. This is cool but scary... "Water!" She said. "Maybe that can stop the force." Quickly she tried to manipulate the water droplets in the air. "C'mon, C'mon. Quickly!"
