Farewell, King of Hidros

  "Welcome back, master."

  "Welcome back, meowster."

  'What's happened here?' Vengeance and Elize had dished their fair share of hurt. Numerous clockwork soldiers were frozen in place, some had their own limbs used as nails. 

  "Who are you, people!" 

  "Tough luck, Emitious. This realm belongs to me, I'll be damned if I allow your filth into my domain. A barrier's expanded over the academy town. Most of Artanos' forces are frozen by my chains – the number's dwindled since we began. What say you, angel, shall we end the fight?"

  "End the fight?" he laughed, "-how very interesting. You know, I'm under orders not to return lest the battle brings forth profit."

  "Too bad, a pawn will always remain a pawn," volatile energy circled, Vengeance and Elize stopped their massacre and sat underneath the only remaining tree, "-call on us if you need assistance."
