sounds of lightning and stars

" let my presence assure this rite and any who break it feel my wrath " a loud feminine voice echoed after we finished the ritual

" begin let you passions burn bright while your hearts bleed true " the voice spoke again as a wired feeling spread through the area

" you'll wish you never took her from me " frowning I looked towards the prince " first I never took her from you second I was will to let you have her but you ruined it by trying to force yourself on her your wrong if you think I would let that happen to the woman I love " furious flames came to life on Eliot's body

"She Is my wife " Lightning discharged off me as my own anger rises " that doesn't give you the right to fucking rape her what part of this aren't you understanding "

" ENOUGH... I'm going make you burn in agony until your last breath" flames gathered on the prince's fist before he slammed it into the back of the tower shield he was carrying causing a rune to glow on it ' I need to end this quickly I'm still not fully recovered ' dodging the flames shot from his shield I rushed towards him staff ready humming with lightning

So it was shocking when he didn't take a defensive pose or try to dodge instead taping the thick necklace he was wearing making him wince in pain as a green light pulsed through his veins for a second

The flames around the prince slowly turned blue then white while a stone like material covered his body like a knights armor with white flames burning through the gaps

crouching six jets of flames ignited on his back at different points allowing him to come at me faster then I could follow because the next moment he was already in front of me his shield ready to strike my eyes widened in horror as the shield slammed into me sending me skipping across the ground until I hit a tree

Spitting up blood and saliva I tried to get up but my body wouldn't listen it just kept shaking " you know she doesn't really love you she's the leash chaining you too this kingdom so they can use your power why do you think her father would let her marry some random human if you weren't powerful she wouldn't have cared about you" the prince's voice echoed from within the armor as he slowly walked towards me

' he's right and you know it was a lie from the beginning' the demon taunted as my mind wondered back to the first time I met Elise, the times we spent talking or training how she always came to get me making sure i wasn't alone ' why would she...a princess have been interested in someone like you we both know that's unlikely not with how you act or look she was manipulating you' as much as I hated those words deep down I knew there was some truth to it still I looked towards the king hoping he would deny it anything instead I only saw guilt and regret in his eyes as he looked down

Tears came to my eyes at the same time anger and confusion flooded my mind along side memories of the couple weeks I spent with Elise and her family a crescent-moon formed on my head as my emotions started taking over allowing me to finally move

When my palm touched the ground to lift myself up it cracked from the instability of my elements without hesitation the prince ignited more white jets on his body with a couple on his shield as it transformed into a axe ready to strike

" stop " I said as the axes blade was a inch away from my face spitting out a mouth full of blood I gathered my strength in a punch aimed at his chest after that I went behind him recalling my staff to me but as I went to strike time resumed without my command sending the prince flying into me

As we rolled on the ground my body got burned from being to close to his strong flames when I finally got free I had my armor cover my body to help with the flames and pain for a bit the fight went back and forth until " time to end this "

" I couldn't have said it better myself " the prince smirked under his stone armor pouring his mana into the ground beneath him making a rune glow under me

Chains of earth sprung to life trying to bind me quickly getting in a runners stance I copied the prince igniting flame jets of my own combining with my lightning with this I shot out of the trap towards the prince I tried to aim for a killing blow but it was hard due to everything being blurred together

Luckily I still managed to shatter the stone like armor on one of his arm when I came to a stop I leaned down throwing up a unhealthy amount of blood barley able to move my body finally giving up from the stress of using a power it was never meant to

" Is that all you got " laughed amused that I was only able to shatter a little bit of his armor coughing I looked at him barley able to get a breath " no this is " I smiled my teeth covered in my own blood

Distracted the prince didn't notice the other me appear like a specter holding a katana imbued with lightning and dressed like a samurai crossed with a ninja with one stroke the prince's arm was severed the cut was so clean the prince didn't even notice until the other me faded and another appeared this time wielding a Warhammer wearing full a full suit of armor like a knight

The prince was barley able to give a reaction to his arm before one of his knees were blown out making him kneel and scream from the pain " how is this happening no one should be able to interfere " he got his answer when another me appeared in front of him cloaked like a rouge holding two daggers

His eyes widened in horror and confusion as the daggers entered his eye slits killing him the cloaked me just disappeared like he was never there once the deed was done

Swaying I fell over barley wake my heart pounding like it was going to explode any second" your passion shines true may your bond grow deeper " the giantess was the last thing I heard as my mind drifted off

When I opened my eyes again zamel was healing while I laid spread out on the ground pushing his hand away I staggered up walking towards the king as every blood vessel in my body hurt but I got stopped by kal " don't it's not worth it your still very injured "

Grunting I turned away " were you a part of this too " Sighing he shock his head " not entirely I was just told to stay on good terms with you that's it "

" so... you all were trying to manipulate me from the start none of you truly cared about me or my situation you just wanted power my power i should have seen it " I said as lightning started sparking of me

" it not what yo-" kal reached out to calm me down but a stray bolt hit his hand making him pull away. my body started flicking like a old TV try to get a signal before disappearing completely

When I reappeared I was back at the mansion in Elise and i's room still clad in lightning while flickering Elise was holding Emily in our bed reading a book as she sat on her lap seeing me she frowned at my condition

" we need to talk " without hesitation Elise looked down at Emily smiling " go to aunt lazza and tell her I said to watch you for a bit ok" nodding she got up and left though I caught her peeking at me wanting to see what happened when

she was gone I appeared on the bed pinning Elise to it by her wrists before looking her in the eyes " was it all a lie "

" what are you talking about " everything started shaking at this point " don't give me that I know... has this all been a lie to control me" her eyes widened before sighing lightly

" maybe in the beginning but that changed a long time ago " my grip tightened in her wrist but she didn't waver

" when I first came to you yes it was because I was told too not entirely out of curiosity our kingdom was failing we needed someone strong on our side at the time you know this" tears started flowing down my face hearing her

" but that quickly changed when I got to know you better I didn't realize i had fallen in love until you put your life on the line for mine and I thought I might lose you that's why when you woke up I didn't waste time and asked you to marry me " I wanted to believe her truly but I wasn't sure what to think at the moment

" if you need proof just remember the little girl that just left it takes two to make her and both our hearts have to be in it that was true" Hearing that calmed me down a bit as I lowered my head onto her chest my head still in shambles while my body was breaking down

At some point I felt her arm's wrap around me holding me until my conciseness faded once again
