Chapter nineteen (9)

"Raine!" Lady Teel exclaimed. Ria was faster, positioning herself in front of Queen Raine. The noblemen stiffened and the ladies shrieked as Ria's body tore in two and fell in opposite directions. Her body had been vertically sliced, clean in the middle. This happened so fast, Queen Raine was stuck in place. Looking at Ria's dead form, her eyes reddened and anger overwhelmed her.

Lady Teel was in front of her the next second. She swung her hands making an arc before her, causing the air to crackle. The shadows were repelled for a while.
