Kholodno

A second wave of frozen needles zipped through the air flying towards England and China. The taller blond zapped them away with his wand, as soon as he saw them coming, with another magical fireball. Every time a wave of ice came, he melted them down just as easily, but China was not reassured. The opposing sorceress had hidden herself. She was using the wall of the room to conceal herself. For now she had been attacking from the window, but will her next attack be from the open door or the other window…

"We're sitting ducks out here –aru." Arthur turned his head in Yao's way, but his eyes remained on the attack. "What do you want me to do?" He paused to command another fireball from his wand. "As you can see, I'm busy!"

Yao grabbed Arthur the moment the ice was cleared. He dashed through the courtyard and skillfully landed on the walkway, behind a stone fence. Arthur was seemingly shaken probably because he never expected to be carried by the other man. He tried to recompose himself. Yao was already peeking carefully above the wall in a way a skilled fighter would. His head was tilted back so a minimal amount of his head could be seen. The fence surrounded the courtyard. It meant he and Arthur had a decent amount of hiding space to move in. The problem was finding a proper weapon. Yao was still deep in thought when Arthur suddenly said next to him, "Let me handle this."

Yao pushed away from the fence quickly. Golden eyes locked with emerald. "I can't-" he said incredulously but before he finished his sentence, Arthur said in a stern voice. "Do you really believe this is something you can handle?" Yao said nothing.

"Look, I know you have a lot of pride, but this girl is a real sorceress."

It was involuntary, but Yao was biting his nail. He remained silent with an indignant look in his eyes. Arthur's eyes were still on him. Suddenly their gaze changed from firm to uncertain. The sorcerer spoke, "And there's one more thing I need you to do." He shuffled slightly so that his body was turning more towards Yao's way, almost like he was getting ready to hug him. "I need you to take some of my sorcery…" Arthur trailed off as if he didn't know how to explain further, but when he saw the blush creeping up to Yao's face, he knew the other had understood.

"Y-You mean take some of your chi? I don't need it –aru!" Yao shrunk away from the man, but the other persisted. He said, this time with a hint of annoyance, "Yao, this is a serious matter! She is a high level magician specializing in attack and you are her target. I came here because I wanted to help you so let me do my job correctly."

Yao softened at the last words. He finally gave the other a slight nod. Arthur had already positioned his arms close to his perimeter, asking for permission. The smaller man lowered his arms. They met in the middle in a warm hug. This time, Yao was awake to watch as the yellow glow emanated from Arthur and surrounded his body in a shield. It disappeared a second later. When they separated, Arthur's eyes were already focusing on the room Belarus was in.

With his wand held ready, the man crept a distance along the fence so that he was away from Yao. Slowly, he peeked up. Not seeing a sign of the other magician, he called out.

"Why do you want to kill China? I don't think he did anything to you."

Wand poised to attack, he waited. A moment later Belarus' floating figure appeared from the doorway. The glare in her eyes was murderous and a deep frown was on her face. She drifted through the air until she passed the walkway into the courtyard.

"He stole my brother."

"What?" England asked, genuinely confused. Belarus only continued in a heated rant. Her eyes widened and she raised a hand to her chest.

"My brother! My brother! MY BROTHER!"

At that point, England stopped his questioning. He rose up from the fence, causing Yao to give a silent protest, but he ignored the other and hopped out into the courtyard. Belarus lifted a brow in amusement. "Oh? Not going to hide anymore?"

England smiled. "How can I when you are not doing the same? That would be ungentlemanly." Belarus returned his smile, but it was short lived as her hand whipped into the air. "Kholodno!" She called curtly as she swung her arms towards England's direction. A blast of artic wind, strong enough to tear the tree, headed straight for the man. As quickly as Belarus had conjured her spell, England pointed his wand in the wind's direction and shouted.

"Protego!"

The command turned the wind back where it came from, towards Belarus. It sent the potted plants on the fence behind her smashing into the wall, but the strong wind seemed to do no harm to Belarus herself. She smirked victoriously. "Is that all you have?"

Unshaken, England remained focused. China had been peeking at the unnatural fight scene from the side. He was still ready to fight, but deep down, he was glad to have been forced to sit this one out.

"Confringo!"

England commanded and an invisible force made its way towards Belarus before it burst into flames on thick columns of ice which had suddenly shot out from the ground. The sorceress lowered her arms. Both casters appeared tense, yet the smugness in the girl's voice had not disappeared. "Fire, fire. Always fire. Can you not cast anything else?" She raised one arm and initiated the next attack. "Ten' Vspyshka!"

This time, the expected cold theme of the sorceress' spells was gone. Instead, an unnatural shadow had covered the courtyard. Blue and purple flames sprouted from her hand and flew up into the darkened sky before raining down on England. England furrowed his brows, eyes deep in concentration as he figured out what type of spell he was dealing with. In less than a second, he returned with a spell. "Lumos!"

A beam of light cut through the created darkness. It caused the shadows to disappear and along with them, the blue and purple flames. It could have been a moment for rejoicing but neither England nor China was aware of what came next. A force hit England as soon as the courtyard was clear. He dropped to the ground like an unstringed marionette. China whipped his head around and saw Belarus had raised her other hand, having cast a second spell. He knew he must help England. The lithe man made a dash behind the stone fence and lunged out at Belarus once he reached her side. However, as if an unseen force was helping her, his body was swept down onto the open courtyard by an invisible wind. He landed next to the paralyzed England in a thud.

Her eyes glared coldly down at Yao. "This time for certain." She spoke an incantation as her right hand glowed. Yao knew it was the same shadowy spell as the last. For the second time in the day, he was at a lost for what to do to protect himself. He braced his arms above his head and only wished that the shield given by his brother and his unexpected protector was enough to hold on.


End of chapter 10

Oh glorious fight scene~ Do you like fight scenes in your fic? Cause I sure do!

Let's go over the spells shall we? Iggy's first:

These are all Harry Potter spells (that list wasn't very easy to work with, I tell you)

Protego – causes a spell to be reflected back to the caster

Confringo – causes an object that makes impact with the spell go up in flames

Lumos – creates a beam of light on Iggy's wand…and remember his has a star on top so glowing star, oooo~

Belarus' now:

Lol, I stole all of Leon's spells (Leon D. S. Geeste from Star Ocean 2) and gave them to her. All water and shadow spells

(Ice Needle) – she has been using this for a while, but you never hear her say it because I'm writing in third person limited (at least I think I'm writing in limited. Haha, no English genius here) so everything you get is whatever Yao-chan is paying attention to~

Kholodno – the trademark spell of this fic. Sends out a wave of cold arctic air.

(Deep Freeze) – shoots out columns of spike-like ice from the ground. (I loved using this spell)

Ten' Vspyshka (Shadow Flare) – lol I just google translated 'shadow' and 'flare' and have no idea if it sounds right in Russian. Let's copy from the guidebook… "ignites flames of darkness that burn from hell" (I loved this spell too. Leon's spells are the best!)

A little bit of trivia about Leon. Did you know he was voiced by Kaida Yuki, in the Japanese version? I loved the game so much that I bought and played the Japanese version, even though I had no idea what they were saying at the time (I think I was a first year Japanese student) but the amazing thing was I played the game in English so many times I did it with no problem. I had no idea who his VA was but even then I preferred his Japanese voice (much better than his deep English voice…not beating down on deep English voices for teenage characters. If done right, like Larsa's…fufufu, but Leon's was just no) and I even thought 'hey, his English is not bad' (well duh, Kaida-sama went to university here). So…I think I can safely call myself a big fan of Kaida Yuki. Make that 'very' big? :DD

Thanks for reading!
