Queen Diamond's counterattack (part four)
Arctic stared at her, shocked. "Heal...you?" He stammered out, his wide blue eyes locking onto her dark green ones. She stared back defiantly, and Arctic backtracked.
"I mean- I'm sure I can do it- easily in fact, it's just... You said you never wanted me to use my magic again.."
He sighed, twining his tail with hers. Her eyes were scrunched up in pain, and she gave a sarcastic laugh. "Well, I've changed my mind, Arctic." Her voice wasn't unkind, but telling him to hurry up. Arctic chuckled and lay his talons on her wing.
"I enchant Foeslayer the NightWing to be healed of any injuries or pain..." His voice was low, and his ring tingled again. Foeslayer sat up, the tension in her wings relaxing. "That feels infinitely better..."
She groaned, standing up and stretching her wings. Arctic stood too, and he narrowed his sky-blue eyes at the locked door. "I'll get us through that too..." He said firmly, before realizing something.
"Foeslayer... Did your earring not work?"
His enchanted earring that the NightWing wore was supposed to keep her from harm, but...
"Diamond took it.." Foeslayer replied softly, brushing her wing where the earring would be. "I'm sorry, Arctic..." She muttered, and he smiled grimly.
"It's alright, I'll get it back." He said confidently, before laying his talons upon the door. "I enchant this door to open whenever Arctic the IceWing says so..." He stepped back, feeling the familiar tingle in his ring he wore.
"Open."
He said calmly, and the door swung open instantly. Foeslayer smiled at him. "Impressive." She said, before walking out, Arctic following her.
They slunk around the castle, attempting to find more dragons to question, but everyone seemed to have suddenly dissappeared. "Where is everyone?" Foeslayer asked as soon as they finished their search.
Arctic narrowed his eyes in thought, curious too. They'd searched the whole palace... "I'm not sure." He murmured, placing a wing over hers.
"And wherever they went, they took Whiteout with them."
It was a cruel saying, but it was true. Foeslayer flinched, and he turned to look at her with a helpless expression. "Now wha-" The words were barely out of his jaws when smoke suddenly billowed around them, blinding him and making his lose track of Foeslayer.
"Foeslayer! Foeslayer!" He roared, swatting his wings to try and clear the smoke, but it didn't clear. If anything, it got thicker and blacker.
"Oh Arctic, you always were pathetic..."
Snowflake's crooning voice echoed around him, and he slashed at the air, grabbing only a talonful of smoke. "Show yourself, coward!" He screeched, lashing his tail behind him.
"Do you really think that NightWing loves you?"
Snowflake's voice was right in his ear.
"All she wants is your power, and when she has it, she'll leave you..."
Arctic wanted to cover his ears. He shrank down, crouching on the ground while the smoke circled around him.
"Shut up!"
He roared, his wings drooping. He lost track of time, where he was, everything.
"Arctic! Arctic! Wake up!"
A dragon was screaming his name. Her voice soared to him, and he opened his clear blue eyes, seeing the smoke slowly start to thin.
