Tada! My first off-topic short story. Enjoy. This happened sometime last week, of a Tuesday, I believe. 02/19/09
---------------
It began as a normal duel.
Neither of us had been able to make a blow connect. She unsheathed her sword and awaited my attack. I drew a simple dagger, my favorite weapon. She was wary of how I would use it.
Darting quickly foreword and to the side, I threw the dagger at Nyna's chest. She skillfully knocked it off course with her blade. No matter. I had another weapon.
Unscrewing my canteen, I let the water spill out. It flowed over the palm of my hand without touching it, solidifying into callous ice. It expanded, longer and longer, tapering off to a sharp point on both ends. It had been awhile since I'd used such a spear, but I wasn't concerned.
I stabbed at Ny's shoulder with it. Her blade connected with the ice. The glass-like clear, frozen water looked so frail, but the sword didn't even chip it.
We exchanged blows, even punched and kicks, but we seemed evenly matched.
Then we found the bubble wrap.
Nyna's bubble sword was a formidable weapon. It had me retreating back into my Bubble Fortress. There, I found the bubble-popper sword. "Haha!" I bragged. "You are dooomed!"
But my sister had found reinforcements in SerenaMoon. "Take down the Bubble Queen!" they chanted.
"Neverrr!" Dawning my bubble wrap armor, I thrust my bubble-popper sword upward in defiance. Bad idea. The action accidentally popped my Bubble Fortress. "Dammit," I muttered as my protection collapsed pathetically around me.
Summoning my awesome Bubble Queen powers, I called forth bubbling minions to attack the charging peasants. They fought bravely, but my minions of gas were no match for flesh and steel.
I was forced back to the tree line. "I will returnnn!" I vowed before I popped out of existence.
Thus the Bubble Queen's Empire fell…
Bet ya didn't see that one coming! It's not everyday you figure out you're royalty in a bubble, is it? Oh well, I'm still the Queen of Randomness. Beware my powers!!!
