Losing Control

"Oh, Val! You didn't come here in a bad mood, did you?" Dalphia spoke sweetly, but her look caught the Prince off guard, and he recoiled back a step.

Seeing Dalphia, expecting on on the actual trainer to instead, Valkirius composed himself. There was no point in trying to defy her in such a small cavern. She would pay next time they were out in the open!

"I can't believe the King thinks I still need to train. I have the knight for this kind of thing," the Prince grumbled as he takes a seat on the farthest stone platform.

"Your knights won't be joining us when we leave Val. You need to be able to control your Shyft. It would be best if you had more time practicing meditating before you try to Armashyft with Karpyrus. You remember what happened last time," Dalphia left the rest unsaid.

The Prince looked away and caught the eye of the commoner he had smashed when taking the girl. He looked so proud in his Armashyft with his baby Shyft. This thought made Valkirius furious, and he stood up quickly. He, The Prince of Drawlgon, would not be shown up by basic scum.

"I'll show you that I am superior," growled the Prince through gritted teeth, as he glared at Sigardus.

"Stop now, Valkirius!" Dalphia shouted, but it was already too late.

White and blue energy streamed off of the Prince and began to take shape in front of him. A vast white dragon's head formed and part of its neck. Suspended in the air, the massive dragon spoke in a voice similar to the Kings, but far louder.

"So much anger you little worm, and yet you still look down on others. You brag and boost that your so strong, but it all a lie. I am the POWER!" Karpyrus roared, shaking everyone.

Then suddenly, before anyone could react, the dragon's headshot forward and ate the Prince. He didn't even have time to scream. Terror and anger consumed Valkirius, but soon he lost consciousness and gave into the darkness.

The group was shocked and didn't know how to react. The rest of The white dragon's enormous body appeared blocking the only exit. Calimus ran down the stairs to get to Pandrea but was knocked back into the stairs from a mighty blow from the dragon's tail.

Dalphia steps forward and points the finger at the dragon. The dragon narrows his eyes as she speaks.

"Spit him out right now," Dalphia orders Karpyrus, while pointing at the ground.

"YOU! The wretched bitch I was never allowed to teach a lesson!" Karpyrus growled, stepping forward, while his tail still held Calimus back.

"You think you will be able to," but Dalphia's words cut off abruptly as her red fox paws flew up.

To late! Karpyrus's front claws slashed and smashed her into the barrier wall. She connected with a sickly thump, and the felt to the ground, blood running down the barrier. Pandrea ran over the Dalphia's unmoving body.

"Not so chatty are we now. That felt good, whos next?"

The three other stepped in front of them to try and stop the dragon. Sigardus was the first to strike. Karpyrus's claw batted him away, but his armor took most of the damage. Next, Liam and Titania attacked together.

Liam charged the white dragon with his shield up and sword to the side as he ran. Karpyrus swung down to squash him, but Liam leapt into the air. When the dragon's claws came down, Titania used Verta's vines to pin the front leg.

Liam flew with his wings and streaked to the dragon. Karpyrus turns his head to fast and breathes shards of ice that cut into him as Liam tries to dodge. Crashing to the ground, Liam is ignored as the dragon rips its vine-covered foot from the ground and advances on Titania.

Titania tries to fly out of reach as the dragon takes a breath, but she knows its too late and closes her eyes. She waits for the pain to hit her, but nothing comes. As Titania opens her eyes, she sees Pandrea in front of her and a massive ice wall. She could hear the ice hitting the wall on the other side.

When the sound of ice stopped, the ice wall came down, and Pandrea stepped forward. She was different now, long blue braids of hair covered her head, and her skin had turned blue with frost. Pandrea now had four Ice crystals orbiting her head.

"You think you're the King of the cold? Let me show you what it means to be The Goddess of Ice!" Pandrea screamed with the dual voice of Aquina, and it came out as a wind tunnel of ice.

Karpyrus tried to move to stop her, but ice coated his body. Soon only Karpyrus's head stood out from the massive block of ice. When Pandrea finished, Karpyrus began to laugh.

"Is this the best you can do? Freeze a frost dragon in a block of ice? How remarkable, you are stupid," Karpyrus mocked from his frozen position.

"Freeze, hmm? Who said I was going to freeze you?" Pandrea asked in her dual voice, but Titania wasn't sure it was Pandrea taking. It sounded a lot more like Aquina.

Pandrea raised her hands and made a clamping motion and spoke, "Ice Maiden Tomb."

Karpyrus began to scream and thrash his head.

"What are you doing to me?!" The dragon bellowed as blood began to leak from cracks forming.

"You hurt my new friends, I kind of like them," Aquina spoke coldly as she squeezed tighter.

The dragon began to scream in pain again but was cut off. Its form began to glow, and the ice broke away at the same time. The shape shrank down and was soon the unconscious form of Prince Valkirius.

Pandrea turns back to the others, barely in control. Aquina had taken over at the last moment when she had hesitated to hurt the dragon again. Aquina had given back control, and everyone looked alright, except for Dalphia.

Pandrea rush to her side. Dalphia was still unconscious and bleeding. The dragon had broken a couple of bones and left deep cuts on her arms and stomach. Pandrea was about to panic when Aquina forced her hands forward and over the bleeding wounds.

"Concentrate, and my water can heal her," Aquina spoke to Pandrea in her mind.

Pandrea closed her eyes and focused. Soon she could feel energy pouring out of her and into Dalphia, spreading through her body. Pandrea opened her eyes as she concentrated and heard the others gasp.

The sound of ribs and an arm bone-cracking in place caused Dalphia to cry out in pain as she became conscious again. Her cries became moans as the others watched in awe as the cuts slowly pulled themselves together.

"Wow, that's amazing, Pan," Sigadus praised as he stood beside her.

Pandrea tried to look up at him as she finished healing Dalphia. As she did, all of her energy left her, and she fell into darkness.
