I don't own the Swan Princess
Ch 5
Odette looked at the raven haired teen in fear,not for herself but for her daughter. From her time with Rothbart, she had gained the ability to sense when someone had extremely powerful magic, and from what she was feeling, this girl made Rothbart look like a pushover. Why was she after Elise anyway? She hadn't done anything wrong!
"I'm waiting coward! Come out and fight!" She screamed. Derek looked to Elise.
"Get below the stage and wait, I'll take care this!"
"Daddy, no! You're no match for her. If you go down there in my place she'll kill you!" Elise pleaded.
"Then I'll buy you enough time to get away," Derek jumped from the balcony while Odette forced Elise under the stage. The cobalt eyed teen looked at the prince in disgust.
"You're not the one I seek,"
"You will harm her over my dead body!"
"Very well, hunter prince! I planned to kill you for sheltering her anyway!" She launched an orb of black energy at the prince, who managed to evade it. She kept up the attacks until Derek was struck. The forbidden arts were nothing compared to the searing pain Derek felt. He cried out and slumped to the ground blow the tower.
"Derek!" Odette cried. The invader chuckled.
"I'll give you credit, prince. You're a better adversary than I thought. Now who should I destroy first: You or your beloved wife. I know!" She raised her orb and launched it straight for…
"ODETTE!"
Before the orb could harm her, another orb, one of light, rammed the darkness one and destroyed. After it flew at and sent the invader flying. As the dust, both parent saw Elise on right wing of the stage holding the orb that had saved Odette. Her eyes glowed like the sun.
"Luna! Leave my family alone! Your battle is with me," She roared. The girl she called Luna rose to her feet.
"So you do have some fight in you. The oh so powerful bearer of the sun sees me as a threat!"
"Luna, I will not fight you! Return the moon to its rightful place, it is your duty to protect the balance!"
"I have only one duty, sunspot! TO DESTROY YOU!" Luna threw an orb at the child. When the smoke clear, Elise had dodge... By flying. Appearently, her angel costume hadn't been a complete costume. Luna roared in anger and took off with her own black wings. Elise proved to be too quick for the elder girl and struck her once more. The dark angel then created energy beams, and in a moment a blinding light engulfed the stage. Once their vision cleared, the lovers saw that Elise evaded the blast. The child appeared from nowhere and kick Luna in the back of her head.
"That trick will not stop me a second time. Luna, I warn you, if you do not return the moon, I will have no choice but to raise the sun in its place!"
"You wouldn't dare! That would upset your precious balance!"
"But make even more powerful than you, giving me a chance to send you from whence you came!"
"Very well,"
Luna waved her hand and the moon and stars reappeared. Suddenly, a howl rang out as Jastia and Riuka jumped to the stage and began talking.
"That's quite enough Luna!" Jastia growled.
"Oh look, the little lizard and canary that interfered with my plan!"
"Luna, think for a moment oh the shadows you were sent to!" Riuka pleaded.
"If you don't stop, we will have no choice but to banish you back!" Elise cried.
"You win this time Elise, but remember, they won't always come to your aid, and when hat day comes, I'll rip my rightful power from you!" In a cloud of smoke the teen vanished. Elise landed and curled her wings. She then raced to Derek.
"Daddy are you okay!?"
"I'm fine, can't say you didn't warn me though," Odette rushed to them as Elise helped her father to his feet.
"Elise are you hurt!?" She asked checking her.
"She didn't hit me, I'm fine,"
"Who was that girl?"
"Her name is Luna. She the one from my story, the girl charged with bearing the moon. The one banished to the shadows,"
"Wait," Derek said, "She called you bearer of the sun. And if she is who she says she is, then that means..."
"Yes, Luna... Is my elder sister,"
