Chapter 93
The best plans go to waste.
“What do you mean that they escaped?” The Queen yells as she storms around her house.
“They escaped, disappeared, no longer here. I mean there are many descriptions that mean they are no longer here. I guess the spell wasn’t strong enough or it didn’t last as long. I really should look into that” The witch snaps back with a roll of her eyes.
“You are useless” The Queen yells at the Witch as she continues to stomp back and forth. The Witch shrugs her shoulders and walks away from the Queen. If past experience has taught her anything it was better to shut up when the Queen was on a tear.
As the Witch makes her way into the back of the house the front door suddenly bursts open and there stood a bloody guard.
“The Forest, they are fighting in the forest” the guard mutters as he drops to the ground.
“Take the extra guards and get into the forest now. Stop them and return the Phoenix to me” The Queen yells as she summons more guards.
“I don’t think this is going to work. Clearly, we haven’t signed on to the winning team” The witch mutters as she continues to watch the Queen lose her mind.
“Why aren’t our plans working. They shouldn’t be this strong. Why are they this strong?” The Queen yells out into the room.
“Because they have gods and goddesses on there side. That would be one reason that they are doing so well. The other might me that they are smarter than the average bear” the witch says with a chuckle.
“I am going to the forest to see what is going on” The Queen mutters as she walks out the front door.
“Ok, come back dead you hear” The witch cackles into the room.
“ARGH!” the Queen growls as she disappears.
Hiding in the shadows within the forest, the Queen watches as the siblings of Hennessy all crowd around her as they try and protect her from the Queen’s guards. The Queen watches as her guards die one by one. When the Goddess gets blasted through the trees and that was quite literally through the trees. The Queen shakes and shudders as each guard dies as she goes to take a step back the Queen inadvertently steps on the branch making a slight noise. As an intense wave of heat rushes in her direction the Queen tries to teleport but finds that she is unable. Quickly racing behind a tree, the Queen makes herself as small as possible as the wall of fire races past her. The heat singes the hair on her arms and the noise of the raging fire was enough for the Queen to try and cover her ears.
The fire lasts for five to ten minutes which felt like a lifetime for the Queen, but when the blasting artic chill races through the forest smothering the fire and turning the land completely into ice and snow the Queen growls as she finds herself frozen to the ground.
“Guess your kind of stuck right?” Archon mutters as he walks up to the Queen.
“Well that must makes you the smartest god that I have ever had the misfortune to meet” The Queen growls back at the King of the gods.
“You know that I could kill you with just a flick of my fingers, hell I don’t think I would even need to waste that much energy as I am sure that I could blink and kill you. Would you like to see if I have that type of power?” Archon mutters as he walks closer to the Queen that is stuck in the ground.
“I doubt that you have that much power. Hell even Shakti didn’t have that kind of power so I highly doubt you would have any type of power that she didn’t have” The Queen growls back to Archon.
“That is where you are horribly wrong, you see Shakti and I might have been first but between her and me I was always the one that had the final say over the gods and goddesses solely because I ascended days before her so I am stronger than her. As a Queen surely you understand that the first or in this case the oldest generally has more power” Archon says with a raise of his eyebrow.
“Mm, while that might be true. I doubt it” The Queen yells
“Let’s test that theory shall we” Archon chuckles as he moves just a step closer to the Queen.
Archon takes a step and moves closer to the Queen, loving how shakes as he gets closer and closer to her. Bending slightly at the waist Archon looks into the Queen’s eyes and smirks as he opens his eyes really wide and then slowly blinks.
The Queen screams out as Archon blinks his eyes. As she continues to scream Daimon walks up to the Queen and Archon and looks between Archon and Queen with a raised eyebrow.
“What’s going on?” Daimon asks as he looks at the Queen stuck in the ice.
“Seeing if I can kill her with a blink of my eyes” Archon responds deadpan.
“It didn’t work” Daimon responds flatly.
“Nah, it didn’t. Do you think there is something wrong with my powers?” Archon asks Daimon as he turns to face him.
“Don’t know, why don’t you try it again” Daimon says as he gets closer to the Queen as well.
As Archon bends again at the waist, he slowly blinks his eyes but still nothing happens.
“Try doing it faster” Daimon says as he continues to look between the Queen and Archon.
“Ok, let’s try again” Archon says happily as he bends and blinks quickly.
“Nothing still” Daimon says as Archon slowly opens his eyes.
“Probably a good thing since we are a little close. I don’t really feel like getting new clothes” Archon says.
“We have Shakti and now the Queen. I would say that we are good for today” Daimon says.
“Get the cuffs on the crazy bitch and let’s get going before the Witch realises that the Queen is missing” Archon mutters as he conjures the binding cuffs and places them on the Queen’s wrists.
“You are coming with us” Daimon says with a large smirk.
