A/N, well I am still alive. I guess the theme suicides were a hoax. Or because my mind blocked it out after I watched Hunger Games: Mocking Jay part 1. Fuck I love the Hunger Games books and movies. That is what inspired the first story arc of this fanfic. That and Battle Royal which is an awesome Japanese film and any other death game movies/books/shows/mangas I have seen/read. To the story.
Chapter 10: Explanations
Kristoff returned to the castle riding on Sven's back with Haley. He had attached a sled to Sven's harness to allow Anna, Taylor and Elsa to arrive with them. Lilly's eyes began to water as she saw her mother. Allowing Kica to finish bandaging her arm, Lilly ran to her mother and brought her in for a hug as tears roll down her cheeks.
"Mummy. You're okay. Please don't ever let someone like that control you ever again" she cried.
"There, there. I am okay. Are you okay" Elsa soothed her crying daughter.
"Now that your here, yeah" Lilly weakly smiled.
"You sure" Elsa asked to make sure.
"Oh my god. Lilly what happened to your arm" Anna screamed when she saw Lilly's arm missing from just above the elbow and below.
"Lilly, what is she talking about... My god" Elsa asked slowly before seeing Lilly's arm.
"She was the one whom killed Shadow. Milliseconds before she killed him, he cut off her arm. No-one could have stopped him and fiddling with the past will have dire Consequences. She has gotten over it pretty fast but she isn't going to be a right-handed person anymore. Ticf has already tried using magic to regrow her arm but it seems Shadow planned ahead and used a spell that would stop us from healing it so it is still a full arm" Tech answered the unasked question. "In my books she is not the little girl you remember. This tournament has changed her. For better or for worst, I do not know."
"It's for better. I have jumped to many versions of the reality I lived in before I came here and in universe preferred she was a fair ruler. She used this as a stencil to make her decisions. All her decisions were for the benefit for Earth. In universe defected, she keeps her arm but becomes a tyrant. I am so happy that she lost her arm cause if she didn't than universe defective is most likely to happen" Ellen spoke up as she walked up to her ancestors.
"So in order to get the perfect universe she had to suffer" Elsa spat at Ellen's words.
"Trust me. She won't be the only one to suffer to get the most perfect universe. A whole religion had to suffer during a horrible world-wide war. Compared to that, Lilly got lucky" Ellen smirked as she spoke her final words.
"Before we erupt into a fight, I think we should just cool it and get to work fixing this place up" Snipes stepped between the two women.
"We got courtyard damage. Building damage. City damage. Possible farm damage. I can get demon workers to help with rebuilding but that won't be easy to convince them" Ticf listed the damages done to the kingdom.
"Thank you Ticf" Taylor patted the devil on the back.
"I will send a message to the people whom left for their safety. Anyone wanna come" Syo offered.
"Sure" Firl accepted.
"You two be safe. Remember some of those people you're talking to are haters of magic" Ticf warned as he tended to Anna's leg.
The two demon cousins were engulfed by flames as they teleported to all groups of civilians, guards and royal guest. They easily convinced the guards, civilians and a few guests but were forced to use their powers to teleport the other guests back to Arendelle. They arrived back with all of Elsa's guests.
"What is going on Queen Elsa" one of the elder men barked at the queen.
"This" Elsa snapped back as she summoned a small pile of snow.
"Witch" one of the princesses screamed.
"Wrong. Someone who used their magic for the benefit for others" Queen Georgia stepped in, surprising the whole lot of them, magic lovers and haters alike.
"You have a problem with magic then explain why your auras aren't white" Ticf spat.
"What do you mean" the first speaker raised his eye-brow.
"The auras that give an individual magic. Your ones are not white. Therefore you have magical abilities" Ticf explained.
"Prove it" the eldest man shouted.
"Prohibere obstructionum aura" Ticf spoke as the guest felt a surge of magic enter and exist their bodies.
"What did you just do" the first speaker asked not paying attention to the ground beneath his feet.
"I unblocked your auras. They are now accessible by you now" Ticf answered. "Oh you might want to look at your feet. Green aura."
The man looked down to see plants growing at his feet. The other guest looked around themselves to see all kinds of magical things happening around them. They stared at Ticf in shock.
"How is this even possible" the first speaker questioned.
"You were born with it. Since you lived in a kingdom that hates magic, you couldn't access it unless someone used the spell that I just used. Now you can use your magic for any use you want. Green auras mean plants. Red is fire. Black, dark magic. Purple with black outline, black magic. Pink, control of animals. Yellow, healing. Light blue, cold. Aqua, water. Brown, fungi. The list just goes on" Ticf explained.
"How are we to explain this to our kingdoms" one of the guest shouted.
"Simple, tell them. They are most likely are also magical" Tech answered for his friend.
"Who are you" the first speaker spat.
"I am Duke Tech. Duke of the technology heavy Realm" Tech bowed with a smug grin.
"I am Duchess Kica. Duchess of the technology heavy Realm of Techniray" Kica bowed as one of the guests pointed to her.
"I am Mojic. Part of the Realm of Magma, the dragon of fire" Mojic laughed as she patted her pet's head.
"Snipes, son to the timeline assassin. I live here in Arendelle as I owe the royal family my life" Snipes bowed.
"Cleo from the Egyptian mythology Realm. Mother of Prince Syo of Hell" Cleo bowed.
"Michael the arch angel of Heaven" Michael bowed, not smiling or showing any expression.
"Princess Ellen of future Arendelle" Ellen laughed as she bowed.
"Marshmallow, Queen Elsa's brute of snowmen" Marshmallow surprisingly spoke as he bowed.
"Olaf, I like warm hugs" Olaf grinned.
"Prince Firl of Hell" Firl leaned on a wall before being engulfed by flames and appeared next to the youngest guest.
"Fiona of Arendelle" Fiona bowed, with her blank expression.
"Lauren of Arendelle" Lauren spoke up as her guard squadron walked into the courtyard.
"Prince Syo. Heir to the throne of Hell" Syo bowed.
"King Ticf of Hell. The favoured devil. Beloved son of what you humans call god. Beloved nephew of all the other gods" Ticf bowed as he followed the example of the others.
"Princess Haley of Arendelle" Haley spoke up as not everyone was done with proper introductions.
"Princess Anna of Arendelle" Anna bowed even thou she was sitting.
"Prince Kristoff of the Arendelle Troll tribe" Kristoff bowed.
"Sven of same place" 'Sven' spoke as he bowed.
"Princess Lilly of Arendelle. The one that saved the world from a monster with the help of Ticf" Lilly bowed with confidence in her voice.
"Queen Elsa of Arendelle. The bringer of Summer. Snow queen of Arendelle" Elsa bowed as she introduced all her titles.
"Prince Taylor of the Southern Isles" Taylor bowed.
"Princess Rapunzel of Corona" Rapunzel bowed as she and Eugene joined their extended family.
"Prince Eugene of Corona. Once a thief but now the husband of a princess" Eugene bowed as he stood close to his wife.
"I don't believe this" one of the guest spat.
"Believe it buddy" Ticf laughed.
"You risked your own life to keep being allies with magic haters even after being magic users. That takes guts. I think the alliance..." the first speaker spoke to Elsa directly.
"The alliance what" Elsa asked.
"...Should stay. If someone was willing to risk being killed because they use magic to stay allied with magic haters, they deserve to live" the speaker finished.
"That's new" Firl grinned.
The groups discussed a new alliance treaty but they made sure it was written up by someone they could trust. The treaty was finished but Ticf was forced to add Earth to the list of Realms in the treaty of Realms but he rewrote it. Hell and Limbo were the first two Realms to join the new treaty of the Realms. Followed by Techniray, then Earth with Elsa being the representative. Heaven was signed to the treaty by Michael. Mojic signed for her home Realm. Ticf soon left to get the other Realms to sign the new treaty and tell them about the death of Shadow. He then sent a large group of demon builders to Arendelle and ordered them to rebuild. He soon returned to Arendelle but he brought something with him. He gave this to Firl as he was the items rightful owner. As they celebrated the victory, an evil presence plotted with another for an attack on the heroes of Arendelle.
