Chapter 1, Part 8: Confrontation

Thank you, Kiri, for submitting an OC.

Prepare for your life to end up lacrimosa. That was all it said, there was no signature and the handwriting was a little bit like that of 'flowing' cursive, however more eligible, you could say. The word lacrimosa was not a familiar word so I asked Vivian, "do you know what lacrimosa means?" I pointed at the last word. She inspected it and shook her head in return. We both grabbed Rollun's arms and slung them over our shoulders and made our way to our camp. Maybe somebody in the camp knows what that weird word means.

As we dragged along I felt something behind me, it wasn't physical, though, however I was certain that I felt it: someone was staring or spying on us. The next thing I knew my back was burning and I turned around and Vivian did the same. She gripped the hilt of her sword, ready to cast a wind spell. I looked around, alert of my surroundings, until I saw it: fire was burning the ground below us, quickly catching up to us in an extremely fast pace. I could tell that it was no ordinary fire; it must be magic, but the Fire Dragon Slayer disappeared, so what others...God Slayer, no he was part of the dark guild, Mages...no, the only ones I know are Romeo and Macao. So who else? I peered into the bushes, as I thought I saw it trembling. I narrowed my eyes before I shouted, "Crystal Lance!" I stretched my hands out as a silver magic circle appeared in my hands and then lances made out of crystal shot at the bushes. That's when a figure jumped out and the flames diminished.

He showed himself in front of us. I took a little time to look at him more closely. He has light skin tone and he had brown hair that would look fun to play with...in other words it kind of looked fluffy, but now was not the time to be admiring his hair. He had extreme dark green eyes like that of forest leaves in the night. He had on a dark blue cloak with the ends of it singed. He had a plain brown t-shirt and black pants. I looked at him. He doesn't look all that powerful, although as the saying says: don't judge a person by looks.

I shouted at him, "who are you!?" I gritted my teeth, impatiently waiting for an answer. Vivian unsheathed her sword partially so at least a gleam was seen. He didn't answer, instead looked at us with disgust...I think, in his eyes. He lifted his right arm and then dropped it with his fingers arranged in an unfamiliar way. After that, fire was burning everywhere. Before we even knew it, it surrounded us. Great. I gritted my teeth. What do I do now? I don't have anyway of communicating back to the camp.

I looked around for anything and then I noticed that wind can easily beat fire. I looked at Vivian and whispered to her, "create a tornado. Then the wind can maybe blow the flames into the tornado and we can attack the boy." Vivian nodded in return before slashing her sword in the air, creating a tornado made out of sand. It then sucked a little bit of flames, but barely any.

She looked my way and said, "jeez, that fire sure is stubborn." She slashed her sword again creating combos, and the wind picked up, however no matter how strong the wind was the fire wouldn't go in. "I thought wind was supposed to be weak against fire."

He still didn't say anything, however he put his hands out in front of him and a red magic circle appeared as he whispered something that was not audible to us before a ton of fire came out, eventually forming into some kind of demon thing with red glowing eyes. It charged at incredible speeds at us. I widened my eyes and waited for the pain to come, however when it didn't, I looked more carefully at the figure blocking the fire.

It was a girl: She had light skin tone as well, icy and calm blue eyes, and long flowing icy blue hair; the same color as her eyes. She had dark purple ribbons on the side of her hair and blue roses on the heart of the ribbon (which was intricately tied into a bow). On the top of her head she had a gold tiara with an icy blue kite-shaped blue jewel in the heart of it. Layered on top were white roses lined up on the tiara. On top of the roses was a gold arc with three blue jewels sticking out that were also shaped like a kite. She had a blue band around her neck and she wore a blue cloth shirt with gold armor on the bottom. On top of the armor was a flowing blue and purple dress. She had on silver shoes and black socks with blue roses on the top of the shoes. She wielded a sword that glowed an icy blue and had a dark blue hilt with a blue rose on the bottom. On the ground below her was ice and on the ice was a rose that looked like it was carved on the ground. Behind her and next to her were icy blue pillars. Also three large blue roses made out of ice was around her and floating.

Next to her was another girl: She has silk covering her breasts with a jewel implanted in the middle. She had a gold sash with icy blue jewels hanging down. She wore loose pants that tightened around her ankles, and she had shoes that looked like that a genie would wear. She had black silky hair in two braids that went down to her knees. She had her left eye closed (not because of an injury; she just had it closed) and her right eye was a deep blue. She glared at the boy, who glared at her back. She whispered, "Selena."

The girl with the pillars of ice behind and next to her put the tip of the sword down at the ground and froze it. I almost slipped however gained balance easily. I looked at the fire boy, whose eyes were still showing that he was not giving up. He tried the method of burning the ice to make steam, however that didn't work. The braided hair girl explained, "the only way you can break the ice is by defeating Selena." She jerked her head toward the pretty icy-blue haired girl and continued, "until then, that ice is eternal ice."

The boy tried to charge however just ended up slipping. He groaned in slight pain however easily got up. He glared at Selena and the braided girl before fire surrounded him. When it diminished, he was gone. Great, I couldn't get his name out of his mouth. However I had a feeling that we would meet again, and when that time comes, I will make sure to make him speak at least his name, if not more.

The braided haired girl said, "you ought to be grateful." Her blue eye seemed to glow before ice surrounded her and she too disappeared. Selena disappeared with a blue magic circle underneath her feet formed. She smiled rather warmly at us before disappearing, leaving both me and Vivian staring at the open space, rather dumbfounded after the sudden event. We then carried Rollun back, now knowing that there were a lot more things to deal with now.

"Kaitlyn," Mia said, "we still have the chance, let's go already. I even went as far as saving those idiots just so you could deal with them." Mia sat down and leaned against the wall, waiting for Kaitlyn's answer.

Nora ran up to Kaitlyn and shouted, "Maxwell and Cardes are nowhere to be found...!" She was panting, while Acantha sat up, her eyes were showing twinkles of surprise in the steely gray eyes.

Avery smiled and said, "I think they were defeated...if their nowhere to be found, that is." She kept that face, which made her unemotional.

Kaitlyn smirked and said, "the battle is coming near..."

Kaitlyn's red eyes glowed even more of a bloody red and she grinned evilly. Mia opened her left eye, revealing a seaweed green eye and her body seemed to be surrounded by water before going back inside her. Avery's green eyes glowed a minty green, Harper's yellow-gold eyes turned to a solid gold, Nora's eyes glowed in the dark, while Acantha's eyes turned into slits, like that of a cat or demon.

Kaitlyn then laughed, "weaklings don't deserve to live in this world." She stood up and decided to confront those weaklings and show them their true power.

She smirked and her eyes became like that of a maniac or a serial killer and said, "I hope you're prepared...I'm going to kill you, and don't worry, your death will end painfully. Heh..."

A.N. - Sorry for the kind of short chapter, but you know, I try to keep up a sort of constant update, so that's why. Anyways, I hope you enjoy this chapter, and hopefully it's really good, so favorite, follow, and review and tell me how you feel!

Also if you like this story and have not yet submitted an OC, submit one now, and you're in! By the way, give me a rating on how you feel, like 1 being you would throw up in disgust if you read any more, 7-9.5 would be good kill time story, and 10 would be you could read this all day long (exaggeration). But you know, I always am curious.
