Here is Chapter 2, or 3? I don't really know. This is all I've written so far so don't expect it to continue unless I get good reviews.
And if you didn't catch, the battle in this chapter was actually between a Human Celestia and Luna.
WARNING: BLOOD AND VIOLENCE IN THIS CHAPTER
- Nerdyredhead
The shadows slowly crept towards the sunlight with sickly intent.
A plump figure stood atop a high tower, observing the action below. Bombs exploded in midair and warriors clashed. She stepped out onto the balcony of the granite tower. The dark cloud rolled across her golden sky, threatening to cloud out the sun. It pushed forward, roaring towards her city's borders. She turned to her left as a warrior clad in navy-blue armor came roaring out of the abyss.
She pulled her staff from her back and struck the warrior in the chest, killing him instantly. The warrior fell from the sky and the woman returned to her post observing the battle unfolding.
Queen Luan crept up to the stairs to the top of the tower and opened the door quietly. A woman stood on the balcony, a golden staff in hand. She had pale blonde hair that shimmered with the colors of the sky, pink, blue, magenta and purple. Her cloak was pure white, embroidered with the finest gold thread.
"Sister." She said quietly.
"How did you know it was me?" Luan said harshly.
"I just did." Queen Lianna whispered, her tone unnerving.
Luan fingered the hilt of her blade tightly. "You witch. Stop with your games. You know why I'm here."
"To kill me I presume?" She turned to face the angered Queen.
Luan paced forward and in a flash unsheathed her obsidian blade, pointing it to Queen Lianna's neck. The weapon glinted and radiated dark magic. It made Lianna flinch and she recoiled, Luan pressing it closer to her neck.
"Do you like it?" Luan smirked, eyeing the blade. "Made of the finest obsidian from Fire Mountain. Laced with the blackest of magic to inflict harm upon even the most powerful of people." Lianna winced, the blade puncturing her skin.
"Your time is up, witch." Luan raised the blade, preparing to strike.
Lianna laughed. She blocked the strike with her spear and the sword went skidding to the wall.
Luan gasped and Lianna smirked. "Do you think it would be that easy to kill me?"
"Smart move," Luan said. "But did you expect this?!"
She swept her leg behind Liana's and in a flash she was on the floor.
"Your move." Luan smiled.
Queen Luan gripped the intricate golden collar of her well-hated rival. Luan yanked Lianna up from the floor, pulled a knife from a hidden sheath within her robes and shoved Lianna against the wall forcefully and pushed the knife to her neck.
Queen Lianna craned her neck away from the knife that dug into her larynx. "Sister, you cannot do this. The Light is destined to rule the land…" she coughed.
Luan sighed.
"Ah, but alas sister. May you be reminded that when there is light, there is ALWAYS a shadow close behind."
She plunged the knife deep into Liana's heart, and she gave out a throatless cry.
Blood oozed from the corner of her mouth and Queen Luan released her grip on her collar, the body falling to the floor with a thump. The queen lay, silent, unmoving and dead.
Luan smiled at her work. She strode over to the corner and grasped her sword and sheathed it.
Her job was done here. Misty, shimmering wings of jet-black velvet grew from her back as she swooped down from the tower and into the fray.
She flew through the sky, her men finally overtaking the Breagan city. The black cloud swirled across the sky, consuming the sun and it's warm rays. It got cold as a winter night and the wind howled. A man in black, a large scar across his face flew up to her, his grey wings rustling Luan's hair in his presence."Queen Luan, we have taken the castle under siege. What are we to do now?" General Nalin asked.
"Take the citizens. Show no mercy if they show resistance to capture." she replied, swooping down into the castle's courtyard.
Queen Luan's small Nightstrike squadron stood tall in the small courtyard, awaiting their queen with their prisoners. The captured warriors were bloody and beat, some with mangled limbs and large cuts that would surely be there forever. Kade stood tall as their queen approached.
"My queen." Kade bowed. They shook hands in welcome.
"Kade, good to see you." Luan replied. "So, what do you have for me?"
"Well, me and my group collected most of the guards inside the castle. I sent scouts to make sure that nobody was left behind." Kade said calmly, cleaning the blood from under her fingernails. "If some did get away, they were most likely killed."
"I expect that you catch all of them, we need them for the labor camps, especially since we have a new kingdom to rule." Luan said sharply.
Kade bowed, her head staring at her boots.
"It will not happen again ma'am."
Luan rasped. "Good." Kade gestured to the prisoners. "Let me show you our catch then shall we?"
They walked down the long line of prisoners; Queen Luan paused. "Queen Luan, what is wrong?" Kate asked inquisitively. In a flash, Queen Luan drew her blade and struck the wrists of the oncoming attacker.
Kade gasped and drew her knife, slashing the warrior's open chest. He howled in agony and punched Kade in the stomach, clutching his wound.
"How dare you disrespect a high monarch like Queen Luan as such! You shall be punished!" Kade roared, leaping atop the attacker and landing severe blows to his face.
"Ahem, Kade, there is no need for such behavior. He will be punished later." Queen Luna said calmly, and the warrior rose to her feet. "Yes, I am sorry for the outburst. Just trying to protect and serve my loyal Queen." Kade said; ashamed.
"No matter. Let us continue on. Load these prisoners into the transports and we shall be off. After, I would like to to come back and survey the grounds while my team scavenges for anything important."
"Yes my queen." Kade said. "Let's go!" She roared, her group shoving the prisoners in line with the other citizens who had been taken capture.
Kade waved her hands to her team members as Queen Luan boarded her large chariot, the black misty horses rearing and neighing impatiently. Luan whipped the reins and the horses took to the sky.
