Hello dearies!
I almost didn't get this done for this week...few I was stressing!
I wanted this out before end of Friday, because ya'll know I don't post on weekends.
Enjoy!
So today is the day. Everything went smoothly…until everything went to hell. The crown had barely touched my head when it happened. Now I was fighting for my life as Eden started to burn and freeze at the same time. What happened? Well…let me tell you.
~S&W~S&W~S&W~S&W~S&W~
"Stand straighter!" A rather rude hand maiden barked.
"I'm trying," I groaned as I made my spine impossibly straight.
"Damn you old hag, I wanted to wear a suit not a fucking creep vine," I growled as she tightened the make shift corset.
"This is for your own good your highness," she huffed as she fastened the lace. It wasn't like a corset; let's say Queen Elsa would wear, but rather one to keep me from slouching. I panted as I relaxed some.
Hmm, this is actually comfortable.
She helps me put on the rest of my suit and lastly makes sure my lapels and epaulettes were neat. I wore a black suit with red trimmings and the golden crest of Eden. My hair was neatly sleeked to fit the professional look. I had had to beat them away with a stick so they wouldn't force makeup onto my face. "You look handsome your majesty," she smiled and I smiled as well.
Yea, I was kind of handsome.

My breath caught in my throat as soon as I made my way to the small stage where I was to receive my crown. My brother was to hand it to me seeing as we didn't have a church. Eden was never catholic. Because of our power, the founders were also the deities the people believed in.
Wouldn't you believe in personified forces of nature?
I would.
As I walked no one seemed to notice creep vines making their way up the walls and pillars. I knew for a fact this was my nerves doing this. Maybe they thought I was purposely doing it. I caught Queen Elsa's slight worried glance at the vines before she smiled to me warmly. If anyone knew my struggle right now it would be her. Mine was slightly different from hers, back during the Big Freeze. Here people already knew of my abilities. That's didn't make me less nervous. With steady breath I walked up the small set of stairs to my brother, hoping to some form of mercy I wouldn't trip. There was this odd comforting mixture of cold and warmth coming from my brother. The only real way to describe it was purely that of autumn, that slight chill that cools you down from a long harsh summer. After taking my spot I looked out over the people that gathered in the throne hall.
"Kingdom of Eden! I present to you, your new Queen! Elizabella of Eden, daughter to Queen Farah and King Wilhelm of Eden!" He said proudly and I slightly bowed my head so he could place the crown. I waited with bated breath as he lowered it onto my head. With a heavy swallow I lifted my head back up soon as it was secure. The people all cheered, happy faces all around, but it was short loved.
Suddenly the doors burst open and the windows burst as a gust of ice cold wind stormed into the throne room. People screamed and turned to the doors. There stood Jasper clad in different elemental armour. His arm was outstretched to me as ice started covering the stone walls and floor. From his other hand he held a fire ball. My first instinct was to cover Elsa as I forced her in behind me. My brother stood before us and his wife stood next to him.
"Jasper what is the meaning of this!" Augustus yelled and I could feel heat starting to cover us like some sort of shield against the icy wind. Elsa was gripping the arm I was using to keep her behind me. The heat from Ciara was enough to keep the frost from Elsa on my arm at bay.
"The meaning? I have had enough of your obsession with your sister; I spent years to get to your side and trust! Just for it all to be thrown away by that girl! I was going to be lenient in taking over, but now I shall take the Kingdom by force!" He yelled and big hulking monsters of different elements made their way to us. Knights rushed in and started attacking the beasts. Servants came in and helped the other people to saver places.
"First I helped the Southern Isles destroy this place, but I never knew they had a son out at sea! I was promised this land by conquering it!" Jasper growled as he created a flame sword. Ciara pulled out a sword of her own as it lit up. They both clashed and a massive heat wave burst forth sending us stumbling back as Jasper and Ciara was thrust away from one another. Augustus caught her and then pulled out his own sword.
"Get to safety Eliza! Without you this kingdom will fall into his hands!" He growled and rushed to Jasper outside the throne room. I wanted to follow, but felt Elsa tug me to the back door leading out the throne room.
"Elsa I have to go help!" I yelled as tears gathered in my eyes.
"You are better off alive than dead Eliza!" She said sternly as she made an ice spike impale a flame golem. It howled in pain before being snuffed by ice. Elsa pulled me up some stairs to a small re-enforced pillar just for these occasions. When under siege people of importance where locked in here for safety. Elsa made some snow golems of her own to guard outside. I rushed to the small window to look out over the battle. I could see just enough of the front court yard to make out what was going on outside. Places where on fire and some were frozen over. There was so much going on with elements fighting each other for dominance. The room we were in was cold. I blinked as a snowflake fell on my nose.
"Elsa?" I turned to the snow queen as she was pacing back and forth holding herself. Ice starting to spread everywhere.
"Elsa, I am so sorry you got dragged into this," I gave a small whimper as I made my way to her. It was getting kind of cold. The nearer I got to her the colder it got. I was shivering by the point I reached her. With shivering arms I pulled her into a hug.
"E-Elsa, I w-w-will fix this-s-s," I stuttered out through chattering teeth.
"How Eliza, how will you do that?" She looked to me, her eyes wild and scared. I looked around, but flinched and screamed as a fireball burst against the window, smashing the glass. Instinctively I covered Elsa with my body. A shard embedded itself into the back of my shoulder, piercing the fabric of the suit.
"Eliza!" I heard Elsa yell as my knees gave in making me drop down. I was panting as I felt the blood starting to flow down my arm and back. With eyes becoming unfocused I saw the blood stain the white snow under us.
"Take it out," I said softly and Elsa looked to me confused.
"Take out the glass," I said again and she hesitated.
"Take out the goddamned glass Elsa!" I yelled and she yanked it out. I scream again briefly and grunt after. Standing with shaky legs I let out a growl.
"Ice it," I demanded and she was shaking as she stroked her hand over the wound making ice form over it, stopping the bleeding. My arm felt cold, I could feel it going dead to my fingertips as it spread to my shoulder blade, but I could still move my arm. It should hold till this is over. Everyone could do something with their power, but me. I was useless.
How was I supposed to run a kingdom if I can't defend it?
My eyes caught the woods that lead up the mountain outside the broken window. Something clicked inside of me. Spring is basically a giver of life. I knew what I had to do.
"I need to get to the woods."
Hehe yes I'm leaving it there, or this will be too long and I wont get it out in time...
Sorry not sorry.
Shout out!
