Flames of the Heart – 06

"Stay away!" Elsa shouted, sending a blue beam from her hands which immediately become ice spikes.

They impacted against ground and ran towards the two guards.

Naruto saw all that, but he couldn't move at all.

His eyes locked at the sight while his mind was elsewhere as the ice was cracking slowly under his feet, aided further by his power.

Elsa quickly forced one of the guards into the wall with many ice spikes and tried to push another out of the balcony.

Naruto finally snapped back to reality from his day dream and dashed to side as the spot he was on shattered, sending shards of ice upward.

The blond looked at the guard who was being pushed to the balcony's edge by the Queen.

Even if they had tried to murder her, Naruto didn't feel it was right to do nothing and let them die.

He immediately created a swirling small ball of fire in his hand.

It was not strong enough to do any lasting harm and sent it at the most beautiful woman he had ever seen.

Elsa wasn't paying attention to the blond, but a wall of ice formed from the ground to her side, effectively blocking the fireball.

It disappeared afterward, revealing a rather agitated Elsa, seeing how there's another person with power that could rival her own.

"Wait, I'm not here to hurt you…" Naruto said but Elsa retorted in fear.

"Is that why you attack me?" Elsa quickly channelled her ice magic through both of her hands and tried to strike Naruto.

She obviously was not thinking clearly after just narrowly escaped death.

The blond didn't have much time to think either, and immediately defend himself with his own power.

His wisp companion couldn't do much other than distracting the still free guard near the balcony by sending little spray of flames.

Red and blue streams of energy collided, sending shards of ice and fire outward from their impact point.

The icy floor of the chamber cracks and started to melt under the stress.

The air around the beam wavered as frozen particles spraying outward as flames stream reflecting randomly, cutting through the walls and columns in the process.

Hans finally managed to dispatch the ice golem and entered the chamber, just in time to see the struggle of power between Elsa and Naruto.

The Prince of Southern isle could feel the castle shook heavily under the shear might of the two-opposition magic.

He had to dodge a few balls of flames and stream of fire flying all over the area, as they melted the ice on impact, further weakening the structures of the castle.

"Everyone out! It will collapse!" Hans shouted, directing the guard behind to escape.

The prince tried to free the still stuck guard, who was held there by ice spikes.

Naruto and Elsa continued to channel their power in their respective ice and fire beam.

Elsa didn't want to give up and Naruto couldn't do anything else besides using all his concentration in defending himself.

The blue eyes saw Hans and noticed the giant chandelier on top of the roof sway back and forth, showing its support was being compromised.

"Wait! Stop! We should…" Naruto tried to say, but Elsa cut him off, not wanting to listen to his reason.

The chandelier's support shattered as it started its descent on top of Elsa, who was still oblivious to the impending danger.

Naruto didn't have time to say or think anything else.

He immediately redirected his hands at the chandelier.

The intense flames beam wrapped around the falling structure, vaporizing it and punched a hole into several support columns as well.

Elsa's ice beam didn't stop after Naruto averted his power elsewhere.

It continued onwards and collided against blond, warping him in blue glowing tendrils.

Naruto's body started to cover in ice, and quickly becoming a frozen statue.

Kurama saw this and immediately tried to thaw his comrade, but that was in vain.

"I… I… didn't mean to…" Elsa said regrettably, realizing what had just happened.

She just killed someone who apparently didn't mean her any harm and even tried to protect her without any second thought for his own safety.

She staggered forward and dropped to her knee at the unmoving sculpture of the blond.
