Chapter 15 - Thousand suns and a ice arrow

A woman covered in a white amour with golden runes, was walking along a river of blood, and as she dropped her eyes to the ground, all she could see were skulls and bones, which extended as far as her divine ranking vision ability can take her vision. Everything was over, now she could rest. Her friends are safe, more importantly, her child is safe. An image of a small baby crossed in her mind. It's big blue sapphire eyes and a small red gen in the middle of her eyebrows.

"Ria, I am coming, don't worry, "the woman thought to herself.

Suddenly she was hit by an arrow in her back. Lucky for her armor was strong enough to negate the arrow. but she knew if the archer wanted, she was as good as minced meat. She stood up and turned around where she saw her once a best friend, a being with far greater power than her. He was called an almighty. Another of his kind and the founding fathers themselves can match his power.

"Thought you can escape easily, princess, "the man spoke.

He was not large nor small, he was average. His eyes were icy blue, and his skin was a light shade of his eyes. His white hair was long, much longer than her and was tied into a bun. He wore little to no armor, he held a bow in his right hand. It was made up of an alloy of ice and gold. Its bluish shine looked more like an ornament than a weapon. The most iconic part of his body were his elven ears, the pointy ends of one of which was covered in gold and had ice crystals adorn it.

"Please spare me Loid "the woman pleaded, removing her helmet for the first time in days. The stench hit her, stench of piles of rotten flesh and blood. Her eyes and hair were dark blue. Her face was as pleasant as calm river, and her eyes were oceans themselves; her skin was milky pale. She had a small scar on her forehead.

"Here I have a gift for you. "The man tossed a fist sized bag towards her.

As the woman caught the bag, she felt flesh in it. She panicked. He hands for holding the knot that held the bag close. Her mind thought of the worst.

As she opened the bag her eyes went wide, her mouth was hanging open. Then after a second of complete silence she let out a scream filled with sorrow, regret, anger and disgust. Her hands let go of the bag and it fell. Inside the bag was the head of a small child, her eyes were shut close, but she was still smiling.

" Riaaaaaa" the woman called out her name in a deep sorrowful wail.

The man stood there, not even flinching at the sorrow of the woman. He in fact held a smirk on his face looking at the woman who was Cring her hearts out.

" ohh! Comon Ela. You could always have more kids "the man said kicking the bag and its contents far away.

The woman had her breaking point; her daughter is dead and that too killed in such a way that the world should end the life of the murderer. She stood up and wore her helmet again.

"You shall die right now and here, Loid Rodria Bolsvan. For the crimes you committed and the gruesome murder of my little child. "The woman said.

"Fine, you hit me with your strongest attack first and then it will be my turn" the man said laughing like a mad man.

The woman took out a quill, its feathers a mix of gold and blue and its nig was pure white.

"THE WORLD BE MY PAPER AND I SHALL WRITE IT RULES. LET THERE BE A THOUSAND SUNS OVER THIS PLANET FOR WHICH THE CLOUDS BURN AWAY. LET THE STARS BE THE WAY FOR THIS WICKED MAN TO HIS DIMISE. LET THEM BE THE STEPPINGSTONES FOR HIS JOURNEY TO THE DEEPEST PARTS OF THE VOID. MY COMMAND IS THY LIFE. AND I CHOOSE DEATH "as the casted her spell runes started to flow out of the nib of the pen and engulf the entire sky. After she completed the spell the runes goy turned into suns. The entire sky was filled with the suns.

The woman swiped her hand down and the sun started merged into one big sphere, once the merging got complete it started to fall down towards the man. The man looked up and held his bow up. An arrow appeared in his hands as he chanted his own spell.

"THE WORLD IS MY TARGET AND I SHALL HIT IT. WHEN MY POWERS FAIL MY SKILL SHALL PREVAIL. ALMIGHTY SKILL – DIVINE BIRAGE (ICE)."

He released the arrow, and it flew up. With a blink of an eye, it grew large, many times larger than its original size, and got multiplied into trillions of copies of the same size and power. They hit the falling cluster of stars like rain hitting the campfire. The power, which only few moments ago seemed like a world ending threat, was ended in less than a second. The cooled down roble of the large star fell all over the barren planet they were standing and made large craters of enormous mountain ranges.

The woman was standing tall, she knew that was not enough, but rather than die not Tring to avenge her daughter, this was much better. The man then turned towards her.

"That's it? I was expecting more, " he said mockingly. Then he life his bow towards her a left out an arrow. It multiplies into 10 arrows that got embedded in several parts of the woman's body

"Ria, I am coming, "she thought to herself before she let out her last breath.

He watched in silence for a minute and moved away, opening a portal that glowed in sky blue color and vanished into it, leaving the dead body of the woman there to join the skeletons that piled up on the earth.
