The heady scent of incense chokes the frenzy air, burning embers surrounded them desiring to imitating thousands of twinkle lights. Gritting her teeth Serenity dipped deeper into a crouch, her fingers gripping the metal chain of her kusaigama.
Opposing her was a creature, twisted within a mask of envy. Her read, medusa inspired hair whipped around her as she bounced from foot to foot. "I'll kill you for disgracing me," Her fingers curved around the hilt of the zanbato she wielded. "For stealing what is-"
"-Yours?" Serenity laughed, raising a disbelieving eyebrow while swinging her sickle skillfully at her side. "What you are is a glorified peeping jane, Endymion is mine."
Beryl hissed, screeching she made a move to rush forward but no sooner had she contracted her muscles did Serenity's figure disappear. Biting her lower lip in anger her snake-like eyes scanned the room. "Little Princess, you do not know what you are trifling with." She hissed through clenched teeth, her eyes widening when she felt something cold winding around her ankle.
"Really, I don't?" Serenity questioned, tugging on the chain with great force she hurled the shocked woman into the fires that threatened to consume the Golden Palace.
Heart wrenching screams pierced the still air and unable to stand the sound Serenity turned, pausing when she caught sight of a familiar shadow.
Blinking the figure locked eyes with her, "I'd rushed here thinking I would become your white knight but-" He paused, watching the still writhing body of his former fiancée, feeling something akin to pity well up in his chest.
"No, I don't need your protection," He frowned as she drew closer to him. "But, I would like to receive your love Endymion," She finished, yanking on his breastplate and pulling him into a bone searing kiss.
