Queen
A chunk of wall fell down as two swords clashed. More blood dripped on the blood smeared floor. Heavy panting came from the two demons who readied themselves to attack again.
The amount of time passed since the battle started was unknown. The moon appeared more than once, which means that at least days had passed. Shader had left soon after the roof caved in.
Aion lunged at Chrono again. "How did you bet me? I planed everything out perfectly!"
Chrono blocked the attack as much as he could. He had already lost one of his arms. "I wasn't the one who beat you. It was Rosette." Drops of blood splattered on the floor.
The white haired demon used his other hand to stab Chrono in the eye. Chrono jumped back as blood leaked out of his now useless eye.
"That girl has a lot in her, but I never expected her to get this far." Aion stated as he flicked Chrono's blood off of his hand.
Chrono gritted his teeth from the pain in his eye. He gave a pained chuckle. "Well, that's Rosette for you."
Aion shook his as he prepared for another attack. "I still don't get it though. She was only a pawn in my game."
The purple haired demon charged at is brother. "That's the thing, Aion. You forgot." Aion blocked the attack. Chrono, however, stabbed him in the back with his spine like 'tail.' Blood leaked from Aion's lips.
"Even a lowly pawn can become a queen."
