"I will wait in your room and kill the intruder, that way you will be safe. You stay here for tonight and that is final." She said coldly not enjoying the way he was lashing out.
Ella stops and stares seeing Kurao's face worn in anger started to falter, and a look of fear could be seen unlike earlier as his body was now shaking slightly.
Seeing this she feels a bit of worry and lets out a sad sigh as she walks toward him.
'Only 8 years old and having to deal with this, of course he's gonna be scared of an unknown assailant.'
Ella then pulls Kurao into a hug well brushing his silky smooth silver hair as she tries to soothe him.
"I will get who ever is after you and is behind this. Just be sure to not leave cause its dangerous to be out without getting rid of whoever is after you, my sweet baby so just stay here for tonight."
After she pulls apart from him she got up with a soft smile on her face, but just as she is about to walk to the door before she feels her hand getting grabbed tightly by Kurao.
"Be careful mom." He says with a worried look then shakily lets go of her hand. Ella didn't respond as she just walked towards the door.
Opening the door she turns back and gives one last slight smile as she closes the door leaving him alone. Kurao seeing the fleeting shadow from the gap of the door, lays back against the chair as dives back into it feeling worried about her.
'Is mother gonna be okay? Should I get Aunt Valya just in case? I know mother is strong even if I haven't personally witnessed it, even Big Sister Nolaya says she one of the strongest Ice Elementalist in all of Etheria. But she could still get hurt fighting a Advanced Elementalist. And what if there is more then just one?'
Contemplating for a moment he instantly got up from the chair, as he walked towards the door. And as he puts his hand on the handle turning it slight but then shakes his head.
'If I do this it may show mother that I don't trust her and or hurt her pride if I were to get help.'
Leaning his head against the door he was stuck in mental turmoil as it felt it would be too dangerous to leave her alone against whoever the assailants are.
After standing there for a few minutes he let go of the door handle, as he stares at it for a moment before going back to the chair and pressed his palms against his forehead.
'I just need to put faith in mother...'
================================================================
*BANG*
*CRASH*
After a few hours waking up from the racket going on presumably in his room, Kurao quickly jumps off the chair in alert.
'Seems Mother really did encounter someone in my room!'
Kurao then paced towards the door quickly as he could without being too loud. He heard more and more loud sounds as he got closer to his door, he could even see that frost formed on his door and even spread into the hallway slightly.
'Sounds like she is still fighting, Ill take a look to see if she is winning. If she isn't I will find Aunt Vayla and ask for help. Even if mother will be upset after.'
*CRASH*
*CRASH*
*CRASH*
The sound of ice shattering into pieces against the ground could be heard.
Slightly opening the door to his room just so he could peak on the fight and not to cause a distraction to observe who it was that was sent to his room with nefarious plans.
Peaking through the door slightly he can feel his face get cold as the draft of the cold mana that is being discharged from the giant human ice sculpture in the center of his room.
Every part of the person was encased in ice except the head, the face of the ice sculpture had a terrified face as his teeth jittered from either how cold he was or the fear he was feeling from the long white haired woman who had a bone-chilling aura around her making a small blizzard of frost within her presence.
Even though Kurao couldn't see the face of his mother he could bet it wasn't anything pleasant with how the man encased in ice eye's were terrified of what stood before him. Kurao backed up slightly as his face was starting to feel numb from the temperature of the room, as he did so he heard a chilling voice that seemed to hint crazy and manner of speech unlike what he heard earlier or even when she was acting cold with him.
It felt like a new person entirely different from either versions of his mother he was aquatinted with.
'What is this.. This is completely one sided!' Kurao felt bad about not putting his faith fully in her, but also felt a scared as what he was witnessing.
"WHO in the HELL sent you to take the life of my ONLY chance of happiness?!" Ella said as she paced by the frozen statue, while she played with a fancy looking dagger in front of the face of the frozen man.
"I-I-I d-did t-this-s-s of my o-o-wn ac-ccord!" The man said while his eyes kept darting away from her vision and his teeth kept chattering.
Hearing the response Ella stopped as she just kept silent for a moment as if she were in thought as the only sound in the room heard was the sound of teeth being rattled and the rough breathing of the man.
Seeing no response from the woman the man encased in ice took the silence weirdly as he started screaming while some of his skin turned blue.
"AHHHHhhhHhH Pl-lease AHHHHHH-HHhHHH Jus-t Kil-l ME-AHHHHHHHHHHHHHhHHHHH-Hh"
"Hehehe... Not until I know WHO! is behind THIS!" Ella screamed
