Chapter 8
Trevor roared at Nicole who snarled back. In there eyes they were battling a blind blood but in reality they were battling each other.
"Horrid creature" Nicole hissed her staff peirceing into his flesh. Trevor however saw it as the blind bloods using its claws to peirce his skin. He yanked her staff out of his body easily.
He was surprised when his hand started to freeze the longer he held the creature. Using the staff he unknowingly threw Nicole into the air where she stayed for a brief moment until he jumped up punching her in the stomach which sent her straight into the tiled floor.
Nicole growled at the blind bloods that attacked her. Gripping her staff tightly she paused allowing herself to summon her powers. With one swift movement she slammed her staff onto the ground sending every creatue flying backwards.
It's was then she had a peek at reality. What have I done? She asked herself now realizing what had happened. The icicles that were released by her actions allowed her to she the reflection of who she was really fighting.
Trevor?.....Melody?....Hunter? Why are they fighting each other?
She thoughts were cut short when she was thrown onto the balcony where Paige stood. The daughter of Chaos gasped taking a step backwards. She had thought it was a real blind blood but later realized it was only her friend Nicole.
"Oh my dear! Are you alright?!" She asked quickly helping her up. Joseph was fine she had healed him in other words transfered his pain unto herself so his body could function correctly.
"The blind bloods. There not actually blind bloods. There Gods" Nicole breathed her voice raspy.
"I know. It's not safe here. As much as I hate it we need to leave but not before stopping this. We need a way to open up there eyes. If not I fear there will be no Gods left" Paige said sadly staring down at the scene before her.
"I only realized this when I saw there reflection. It's an illusion but put in place by who. Something is wrong here. Very wrong. No God in there right mind would dare behave like this before you your majesty"
"That's not the problem. There is war. Whether we like it or not....we are in a war zone. Your brother knew of this and used it to his advantage. He intentionally caused heat between the two of you. With my brother becoming king it's forcing us to pick sides. Follow the king or stand against him" There was silence between the two only the growls and snarls from the fights below them were present.
"If that is the case so be it. I will stand by your side your majesty. Just tell me what to do" Paige couldn't held a smile that formed on her lips.
"We need a wall dividing the room. This will force them to stop and will give us a diversion. We need to know who is with us and who against" with a nod the snow queen turned to the bloody scene before her.
She stretched her hand forward concentrating. Her eyes fogged over blurring her bright blue eyes. The ground began to shake aggressively. Low murmurs spread through the room pausing the fights that was taking place. An iceberg emerged form the ground splitting the perfectly tiled floor in half. It extended itself until it had successfully divided the room in half.
Gasped filled the air as they stared at there reflections in horror and disgust. There gowns not tattered, bloody from battle. Paige stepped forward until she reached the very edge of the balcony. She took one more step but instead of falling she simply landed on the wall of ice spread through the center of the room.
"Is this what you want? Tell me?" She paused waiting for a response she grew impatient when she received non "Answer me?! Oh I'm sorry for not seeing to it your wishes were fulfilled. This is no way to act" she turned back to Nicole who forced a smile.
"I hope you got a kick out off your little performance because that's how things will be form now on. There is war. A test of loyalty to the name of Chaos. Sides a picked tonight. No mortal will remember the battle or the blind bloods that showed there faces" with another pause she scanned the crowd taking another step forward.
"This night will be forgotten. Now I stand before you not as your princess but as a God like you. As an immortal. As the keeper of the Secret of Chaos. I ask you this. Who do you pick? Which side do you choose? The name of Chaos or the royal court? It is your choice" her expression remained cold as the wall of ice began to fall. It decreased in size until it was nothing.
Paige stood boldly staring at her fellow immortals waiting until one spoke up. And one did. "I'm sorry your majesty but my loyalty lies with the royal court" Bruce God of battle strategy. His sister stepped forward her blonde hair placed in a high ponytail she looked as radiant ever.
"I will follow you whether you are crowned or not. All those who choose to follow this princess and be lead by a true leader please step forward. My brothers my sister. I ask you now as,Goddess of statistics and probability daughter of the God of War, do you wish to be lead by a fool or our princess one who has stayed with this through thick and thin one who we know we can trust!" once again there was silence they exchanged glances not knowing who to choose.
"All those who will stand by the royal court step forward. Accompany me. Together we will follow the king leave them. They will fall. Our king will take pity on us!" Paige couldn't help but scoff.
With a bored expression she stared at Bruce. Her eyes piercing into his. She was unaware that Joseph was watching then entire scene. With a simple flick of her wrist roots emerged form the ground wrapping Bruce in its tangled form.
"All those who follow my brother are fools. But it is your choice. If you wish to follow me you don't have to say a word. I will know your soul is open to mine. I promise I will protect your followers I'm afraid I can not make that promise to protect you. No one knows what the future holds but all I know is what ever happens. The name of Chaos will prosper!" Cheers echoed through the room. All those standing behind her cheered there princess's name.
"Mark my words your majesty " Bruce hissed his eyes a blaze. He was infuriated by her smug expression. It was like she knew what was going to happen "we will triumph. You will fall!" The princess yawned bored. She then turned to face the immortals behind her all of them supported the princess she knew that.
"Do you hear this guy? 'You will fall'... Oh my Gods Trevor do you remember when we single handedly took on the titan Jester? And his wife Fantasia? Oh and did I forget to mention we were powerless. Chaos have mercy! Bruce my dear you have no idea what you have gotten into" her voice changed after that.
All her followers began to vanish leaving scattered petals in there place. Paige looked down at herself and smirked internally she too was beginning to vanish "Let the battle begin"
Those were her last words. The words that would plague the kings followers to the death. It was then they realized what they had gotten themselves into. The princess didn't need an army to kill them all. She was toying with them until she gets bored that is.
Bruce paled staring at where the princess stood just seconds before her words constantly reminding him of the decison he had made 'let the battle begin'.
