☁ Tsuki And Fluffy☁

His battle with Inu gave him a lot of injuries. Recovering from all of them was going to take a lot of time. Since his healing powers were still pretty bad, he was trying to reach the closest city in order to find a place where he could recover. He saw a girl, he couldn’t see her right but he was pretty sure it was the first time he heard her voice.”I need… I need to recover…”

Making the world better is something everyone is able to do but it needs a very strong will. If you try hard enough, even you can do something. You are right, I have to find a way to make the opponent weaker than they are currently, this is my only way to win. In order to bring back my friend, I have no other choice. No matter how strong my opponent is, I’ll always have a chance to win as long as I have the will to win. If I find a way to become stronger while my opponent becomes weaker, I can win. Thank you.“

He noticed that she was probably thinking he was overprotective for her, since he kept saying she had to stay safe. She was right, he had to stay safe too. He was really badly injuried after this battle against Inu and Mizi. Without Tsuki, he probably wouldn’t be alive right now. He took the ointment she wanted to give him. It was going to be really useful for his current injuries. If he didn’t start a fight soon, he will have recovered from the fight in a few days. He was glad that she was thinking of him as a friend as well. He was just hoping that she would tell him everything she was obviously hiding. But he couldn’t force her to do that. He was going to wait until she wanted to tell him.

“Well, I’ll probably do research in order to find a way to become stronger. And a way to make my opponent weaker. I don’t where to start but I think I’ll find what I am searching. I’m pretty sure we’ll meet again later.”

Listening intently to his words while nodding in agreement. “I guess you’re right, I’ll do my best and see how things turn out with my efforts too! You’re very inspirational! I’m glad that I can somehow give an idea to help out! I believe in you! With that strong will of yours I’m sure that you can get your friend back soon!”

Grinning happily as she’s glad that Marvin took the ointment to help him again in the future. “Ah I see, that’s a good thing to research about, usually the libraries has information about what other peoples discoveries and maybe you can get some sort of start from there?” Nodding happily as she took his hand. “I wish you luck for what you’re reaching for and we’ll definitely meet again!” Letting go as she walked the other direction waving goodbye at the same time as well.

While waiting for this knight to come back to her room, the Goddess decided to stay there until she returns. Feeling a presence of someone at the door she assume that it’s the knight. Hearing that comment surprised her and a light laugh escaped mouth. “I assume that you’re Mizi. She never mentioned that you had an interesting personality.”

“Oh I bet cutting me down would be tons of fun too! It’ll be a shame for you since it won’t happen~ You mean if you get free right? Oh?… You can’t allow me eh?… Now that makes me want to try even harder!~ …Is that so?… Well I hope he didn’t tell you too much about me because there’s somethings that aren’t ment to be mention!~ Ahh but that’s no fair because I don’t know too much about you or your master!…” She playfully pouts but it still slightly worried her about how much this monster knew about her. Looking over at Mizi as she sees that she’s ready to confront the deity, it was a shame since Fluffy still wanted to learn more about the knight so she had to be extra careful not to go overboard. 

“Oh? I see, I’m glad that you’re ready for the consequences of your words but I’ll like to keep you a round a bit longer so you won’t die just yet!~ I’ll look forward to the story that you’re willing to make come true! Ahaha I could tell, I’m glad to hear that you’re so energetic!” She lets out a hearty laugh and grins, facing towards Inu. “Ahh I’m so pleased to hear that my ‘little game’ makes you want to win! I’ll be extra challenging for you so then your ‘victory’ would taste even sweeter!~” She turns towards the knight and giggles. “That’s nice of you to care about them~ But I’m pretty sure that they can take good care of themselves!” Her laughter stopped but she still kept the smile on her face as she turned back to the Queen. “Of course I don’t really care about them! I can always make more after all~ But… I do admit that it’s a bit of a pain to make new ones… That’s why!-” She took a small fluffy creature and brought it close to her face. Openning her mouth and devouring the creature as it squeaked in pain. “I like to eat them so then I can use it’s energy to recreate them with some improvements!~”

“Aww how cute~ You like me! Ah but you’re not sure who this child is! After all if I’m gone then she’ll be absolutely alone~ And she hates that the most!~” Stretching a bit as she took a break and glanced over at the Queen. “Don’t be so dramatic jeez… I can’t really die ya know… After all as long as there’s a dream or wish that exist in this world, I’ll also be here…” Continuing to weave as she sees the Queen approaching closer and closer to the dragon also over hearing what the Knight said got her curious. “Hate?… Hate what?” Slightly confused about what’s going on but she continues on what she’s doing as she’s half way done.

“My feelings have no place in battle… There’s no need to tell me more than once, I get it.” She points back with her weapon. “I’ll strike down all the gods and goddesses themselves for you, so just go do it! There’s no point in a surrender anyway, you’re already this close!”

She pauses, having cleared out a decent amount of creatures to take another breather before they closed in once more, she heard the Queen, it was obvious that this was a do or die situation by now,, for the knight herself at least. She spoke directly to Fluffy. She was her only concern for now. “If you really want me to live longer, then you’re going to have to lose. If I fail now, then you’ll get to watch me suffer my last punishment, and that story will just be a forgotten possibility. But, that won’t happen, because I’m more than ready to help let that empty-headed dragon out!” Fluffy really didn’t care about these creatures? Well, it was understandable, there was so many, one being can’t possibly love them all. The knight’s face twisted at the sight of the small creature being eaten alive. But she had to imagine just how one tasted herself… Probably sweet? Getting back on topic she shakes her head. “Improvements..?”

Well, there was that. She really didn’t have any idea who this child was. “You just peaked my interest is all! Alone… Ha… Then drop whatever deal you made and go back to her.” A dream or wish. The knight also had her own dreams and wishes, so, Fluffly couldn’t die. Which was good to know on it’s own, she really hadn’t wanted her to die but as long as she was under order she couldn’t just not try. “There’s just so many is all. So,. this feeling is hate…” Having thought so, it wasn’t much of a surprise but it was good to be sure, since she wasn’t the best at distinguishing feelings. “Then I will be sure to act accordingly.” A few moments later she had gotten pretty close to the goddess, close enough to speak without raising her voice while keeping a distance from her. “I’m not sure what there is to hate, but the feeling is definitely there.”

The release of energy the mist only made the air feel even heavier to her, but her mind was already affected, so it wasn’t adding much more. Having gotten closer, she was now starting to fight off creatures that were nearing them, she would probably even start accidentally protect the goddess as well if the creatures turning against her went kept going on this way. “Losing a crappy game isn’t so bad.” Setting quite a large amount of creatures on fire with a sweep of her weapon, she faced herself towards the oddly coloured air Fluffy had created before. “So, you owe me a rematch one day.”

“That’s right. Good. Don’t let me need to remind you anymore. You will? That’s even better to hear, and I don’t plan to.“ She takes her attention back to Fluffy. “Regardless, you are not my main target either way. There is no ‘if’ … I shall be free. This imprisonment has gone on long enough, it is an insult. Then try, you shall fail. … Of course. He was not all knowing. There is much I do not know about you. You have taken my curiosity however. But that is something for another time. … I do not wish to be fair with you. You should try and learn more out the other gods, shouldn’t you? Surely they are a threat.

The Queen wouldn’t really punish Mizi for failing here. This was all the dragon’s doing, but there was no way for the knight to be sure what was actually going on, even if she had worked some of it out. And either way, disobeying her would be very difficult. “If you keep insulting it, you may end up in just as much trouble, Mizi.” The goddess is met with a deadpan expression from the Queen. “Yeah.” She soon returns to wearing her crazed grin. “I’m sure it will be a sweet victory.” The Queen fell silent, and she watched the goddess devour one of her own creatures. She then burst out laughing. “You know, I’m glad about that. I thought you were soft for a second there. Now I’m just wanting to see what improvements you shall make. I wonder if there is a limit to how many you can create, from the look of things, they just seem endless.” Fluffy at full power would be terrifying indeed, if she could do this much already.

“You sure are lucky, to be able to avoid death like that sounds useful. But at least I know for a fact you can be sealed… You get your power from dreams, and wishes? Well, mine is from hate. Everyone’s hate. If you ask me, it’s a better thing to use. There is hate in most things. I wonder if there is any in you as well, goddess.” From the Knight’s work, and the help of the mist, the Queen was able to get right next to the crystal. “Yeah, right again, Mizi. … Well, that’s an interesting question. One you must answer for yourself. As for me, I hate this world. If you’re that close, Mizi, you should strike her.” She fell silent, the dragon was no longer using her to speak. Instead, she was focusing more of her power into her sword, before stabbing the crystal with it. 

Seems as the creatures were being affected by it after all. It was a guess on the dragons part, one that was thankfully working out as it wanted. During all this, the Queen pushed even more of her power into the sword. The crystal cracked further, and broke. Causing yet another shockwave of power to flood through the area as the dragon emerged from the crystal. The surrounding mist gaining back its full power. After being free, it fired a strong blast of energy right towards Fluffy, not paying any mind to the Knight who was also close to her. It wasn’t one for being insulted. The dragon didn’t notice that the Knight may be actually there to protect the goddess. At this point, it didn’t care. It was mad at the Knight either way.

Watching her creatures slowly decreasing, she can feel her power being used up more as she felt weaker then she wanted to. “Me? Lose? I don’t really like losing… Hmm… Oh well, I guess we’ll know when this is all over!” Blinking a few times before laughing hysterically, trying her best to wipe the tears from the corner of her eyes as she was grinning. “Who knew that you had such a great sense of humor?!” After chewing and swallowing the first creature, she was thinking to eat another one since it tasted pretty good but quickly shook that thought away. “Oh you were? Sorry for worrying you~” Clapping her hands together as she nods. “Yes improvements! I’m glad that it seems that way but…” The rest of the orbs shattered leaving only 2 floating. “I’m running out rather quickly trying to go all out with what I have left…” Separating her hands apart as gooey substance oozed out of her palms, it spread and absorbed all the creatures around it making it bigger as it slowly took a form of a large serpent like being. Just as it started to take form, it collapse and just becomes a pile of oozing sweetness. “… I may or may not have enough power to do improvements…”

Grinning as she twirls around. “Don’t be shy!~ I love being the center of attention after all!~ … I can’t do that even if I wanted to because the number one thing thing I hate the most is empty promises, and I don’t want to hate myself after all I’m quite stunning~“ Tapping her chin a few times as she nods. “For your information, I was sealed only because I underestimated my opponent but, never again. I see, you wonder right, there’s things I hate too, its unavoidable… Then… I guess that means you’ll stick around for a while… What a shame…”Slightly surprised that the knight managed to get so close made her smile. “I see… It must be because of the dragons influence.“ Seeing the Queen already stabbing the crystal encased dragon, Fluffy already knew that she lost this game.

She was walking, out once again from the castle where she always felt alone.She stopped by for some new magic books and has already gained the use of several of them mentioned in the book in a matter of hours. While walking through the large amounts of people in the street, somehow she felt strange, like she was being watched. She doesn’t know how long the person has been there and she hurried her walking towards a less crowded area. She whipped her head around at the sound of the loud footsteps with her spellbook in hand and one hand outraised ready to cast a spell to blast whoever this intruder was. However she recognized the person on sight and lowered her hand.

“T-Tsuki?” She sighs in a heavy tone. “What in the world did you think you were doing sneaking up behind me?!” She was glad she turned around and looked before she reacted.

She cringed a bit mentally at the thought of her being anything but good but she didn’t ever want to upset Tsuki. After all Tsuki was with her when she was young too and she was the only few who could see this side of her as of now. “Yes… I think they’d enjoy that very much.. they deserve a little something for working so hard for us… don’t they?” She smiles gently. “I’ll make sure we’re in the prettiest part of the garden that I run… and we can pick the nicest flowers too.” Kuro turned back to being even more flustered as her face turned a shade of red and she had to cover her cheeks. “O-Oh… don’t tease me like that!” However Tsuki had gotten her in a very good mood like she always did. Somehow Tsuki just had an easing aura around her. “You think Fluffy likes me?” She laughs lightly as a joke as the girl went on ahead pulling her arm. “Oh!” She gasped in surprise as they reached the clearing. “T-Tsuki… wow.. this place is… really nice… and it’s quite peaceful too.. hee. Did you find this place all by yourself? h-how did you do it? Away from everyone?” 

Nodding in agreement as she admired Kuro even more if possible because her Princess was so thoughtful for thinking about making flower crowns for the soldiers for their hard work. “Yep! It’s really hard fighting for our kingdom and if they were given a small present I’m sure they’ll be relived that they’re recognized for their bravery!” Tsuki’s mouth formed into a shape of an ‘O’ as her eyes gleamed as she tried her best to contain her excitement. “I had no idea that you kept a garden! I’m looking forward to all the flowers that you grew!” Giggling at her reaction as she reached over to poke her cheek lightly. “I couldn’t really help myself sorry~” The little girl nods vigorously. “She says that she likes people that are really nice to me! And you’re super duper sweet! Oh and Fluffy likes cute things too so that’s another reason for her to like you!” Grinning brightly as she was pleased with Kuro’s reaction. “I sounds like you like this place! I didn’t really find this place all by myself.” Sheepishly grinning as she lightly scratched her cheek. “Fluffy told me where to go a while ago and I stumble upon this place.”

His battle with Inu gave him a lot of injuries. Recovering from all of them was going to take a lot of time. Since his healing powers were still pretty bad, he was trying to reach the closest city in order to find a place where he could recover. He saw a girl, he couldn’t see her right but he was pretty sure it was the first time he heard her voice.”I need… I need to recover…”

He knew she was hiding things from him. He really wanted to ask but he was feeling that it would be a bad idea. He decided to wait instead. If she was really hiding something, he prefered to wait until she accepted to reveal everything to him.

“Yeah, stay safe. I don’t want you to be injuried if you can avoid it. You don’t have to worry much about me now. You was able to help me when I needed it. Now I just need to rest and everything will be fine. Yes, from now on, we are friends, if you want to. Building inventions is harder than you can think, but I know I’ll improve, I just need more time for that.”

Once they’ll reach the city, he had to rest enough. He needed to recover from his injuries as fast as possible and then, find a way to become stronger. And maybe a way to make Inu weaker than she is. He’ll probably need a lot of time for that since he had no idea how he could do this.

Pouting a bit about the fact that Marvin was still worried about her own safety slightly irritated her. “Gosh… Like I said! There’s no need to worry about me! I can take care of myself!” She takes out a ointment from her bag to prove her point while grinning. “Oh okay, since you’re much better now then when I first meet you… You have to watch over yourself too ya know?” Taking his hand while placing the jar filled with ointment. “You’ll probably need it more then me.” Grinning as she lets go of his hand. “I-I’m glad to have you as my friend! You’re a really nice person so I’m really happy about that! I know that you’ll built one of the best invention ever!”

She was walking, out once again from the castle where she always felt alone.She stopped by for some new magic books and has already gained the use of several of them mentioned in the book in a matter of hours. While walking through the large amounts of people in the street, somehow she felt strange, like she was being watched. She doesn’t know how long the person has been there and she hurried her walking towards a less crowded area. She whipped her head around at the sound of the loud footsteps with her spellbook in hand and one hand outraised ready to cast a spell to blast whoever this intruder was. However she recognized the person on sight and lowered her hand.

“T-Tsuki?” She sighs in a heavy tone. “What in the world did you think you were doing sneaking up behind me?!” She was glad she turned around and looked before she reacted.

“Ohh I see! I bet Fluffy would be glad to hear that!.” Tsuki nods and picked up her pace. They reached the location that was best suited to train with no people around at the time. Spinning around to making a huge gesture as well to dramatically present it. “Tada! We’re here!”

While waiting for this knight to come back to her room, the Goddess decided to stay there until she returns. Feeling a presence of someone at the door she assume that it’s the knight. Hearing that comment surprised her and a light laugh escaped mouth. “I assume that you’re Mizi. She never mentioned that you had an interesting personality.”

At that point, she could figure out the dragon was having some sort of effect on the Queen, but… even with the Queen’s showcase of pain and and struggle, she just went along with what she was being told. “If you want the dragon to be released, then that’s what I’ll make sure happens.” She looks away from the Queen, it was easier to focus without watching Inu struggle with herself. “Though, I do have a feeling that she’s not completely wrong to be on the preventive side of this situation.” Even if she had felt that way, mainly because she didn’t think that monster deserved freedom for being such a snob, it didn’t matter much if the Queen’s mind was set. Instead, she left the Queen to her own matters and stuck with keeping Fluffy as entertained as possible.

“I don’t regret saying those words one bit, if I lose here it’ll be my last failure and I’ll die anyway. Dying here or there, doesn’t matter, but if I win; that’s another story. One that’s about to unfold right before your eyes.” She nods her head. “Fired up is exactly what I am.” Despite the situation and the costs of even one wrong move, and the Queen’s behavior herself, it was amazing enough that Fluffy picked up her mood with that. “I think you should tell your pets that, not me, haha…” Did Fluffy have some sort of attachment to these dream and nightmarish creatures she sent out on them? How cute… that made stabbing the next one through all the more satisfying oddly enough. She didn’t even have to look to guess what kind of expression Inu was wearing, since it had to have matched her voice. Which brought her back down to reality, she had to be careful to not get too carried away.

She stopped her attacks, seemingly getting nowhere from trying to bottleneck these creatures. All it was doing was tiring her out, even with the added help of the energies to boost her attack power it wasn’t helping much to wipe out more than a handful at a time. Eradicate all them at once… She could maybe do that on her own, one good fire blast would clear a path in which she could use to take out the source of these creatures, Fluffy herself. “Just as the goddess was beginning to grow on me too,” She complains with a sigh before calling out to Fluffy, noticing her speeding up before she was shrouded in the clouds. “Between you and me, I sure hope you don’t perish. You wouldn’t want me to be the one to tell that girl I watched you succumb in battle, hmm?” Maybe that’d be enough to get her to stop fighting, but she doubted it, not when Fluffy was probably more than halfway done. But before carrying on with an attack she watched the Queen run off while she regained her breath, as much as she didn’t like it, that feeling of hate and need to kill bubble to the surface once more, probably brought about by Inu’s attitude. “That hatred will spread like a fire, I know it. It won’t be so easy to extinguish.”

“Sure you do. And cutting you down would be oh so fun. Maybe I’ll get the chance after I am free. Mmmm. No, maybe not. It’s a shame, but I can’t allow you to stand in my way. Of course. That’s how you work. My old master used to tell me about many of the other gods. Even about yourself.” It mocked. It didn’t know everything about Fluffy, of course. But it knew a decent amount. The Queen looks towards Mizi again and snickers. “Something wrong? That’s right. You’re going to help me do it, indeed.“ She points at Mizi. There were no longer signs of a struggle. “Your feelings are wrong this time. Trust me, we are doing a very good thing. Remember? All you need to do is follow my orders. So fight her with everything you have got.”

“That’s right, Mizi. If would count as a failure. And you don’t want that now, do you?” She looks back at Fluffy, wearing a smirk. “I am. I intend to win this little game. It would be great if I was able to get you out of my way before I even get started.” The dragon had to admit that it’s not easy to get past Fluffy. But after being locked away for so long, it wasn’t about to let her stop it now. “… So, these creatures, they don’t matter to you, do they? From the way you’re using them, you must not care, right?” Or maybe she did somehow care for them. Which may be useful. “… Soon you, and all of them, will be gone.” Unfortunately, thanks to the dragon, the Queen was already too far gone currently. But at least it reminded Mizi that she needed to be careful, and not fall into acting such a way herself.

Mizi stopped? It did indeed seem like they were giving her a hard time. But it was fine. All the Queen needed to do was break the crystal and they would be dealt with. But until then, if Mizi could think of another way, it would be useful as well. “She was? Then maybe get your little goddess friend to stand down and not get in my way? If not then you’re going to help me get rid of her… Ah, sorry, ‘Fluffy’ …. the only thing that is going to happen soon is your end.” As she ran, she got rid of more of the creatures, and kept making a path for herself to the crystal. She was getting very close now. The dragon didn’t care about the Queens health, all it cared about was being free, even if it cost her life. She started to use more of her energy to get the creatures out of her way faster. Sadly, she couldn’t just teleport closer to the crystal, the energies left from the seal were causing slight disruption.“These things sure are a pain, aren’t they?” She looked back at Mizi while she was running, her expression as broken as ever. Those feelings spreading throughout Mizi were indeed being triggered more due to Inu’s state. “… Extinguish?” She laughed. “Not possible. You’re starting to be consumed by hate already, aren’t you? …. Depending on how you act, dear knight, it will either be a great thing for you, or a nightmare.”

“Oh I bet cutting me down would be tons of fun too! It’ll be a shame for you since it won’t happen~ You mean if you get free right? Oh?… You can’t allow me eh?… Now that makes me want to try even harder!~ …Is that so?… Well I hope he didn’t tell you too much about me because there’s somethings that aren’t ment to be mention!~ Ahh but that’s no fair because I don’t know too much about you or your master!…” She playfully pouts but it still slightly worried her about how much this monster knew about her. Looking over at Mizi as she sees that she’s ready to confront the deity, it was a shame since Fluffy still wanted to learn more about the knight so she had to be extra careful not to go overboard. 

“Oh? I see, I’m glad that you’re ready for the consequences of your words but I’ll like to keep you a round a bit longer so you won’t die just yet!~ I’ll look forward to the story that you’re willing to make come true! Ahaha I could tell, I’m glad to hear that you’re so energetic!” She lets out a hearty laugh and grins, facing towards Inu. “Ahh I’m so pleased to hear that my ‘little game’ makes you want to win! I’ll be extra challenging for you so then your ‘victory’ would taste even sweeter!~” She turns towards the knight and giggles. “That’s nice of you to care about them~ But I’m pretty sure that they can take good care of themselves!” Her laughter stopped but she still kept the smile on her face as she turned back to the Queen. “Of course I don’t really care about them! I can always make more after all~ But… I do admit that it’s a bit of a pain to make new ones… That’s why!-” She took a small fluffy creature and brought it close to her face. Openning her mouth and devouring the creature as it squeaked in pain. “I like to eat them so then I can use it’s energy to recreate them with some improvements!~”

“Aww how cute~ You like me! Ah but you’re not sure who this child is! After all if I’m gone then she’ll be absolutely alone~ And she hates that the most!~” Stretching a bit as she took a break and glanced over at the Queen. “Don’t be so dramatic jeez… I can’t really die ya know… After all as long as there’s a dream or wish that exist in this world, I’ll also be here…” Continuing to weave as she sees the Queen approaching closer and closer to the dragon also over hearing what the Knight said got her curious. “Hate?… Hate what?” Slightly confused about what’s going on but she continues on what she’s doing as she’s half way done.

While waiting for this knight to come back to her room, the Goddess decided to stay there until she returns. Feeling a presence of someone at the door she assume that it’s the knight. Hearing that comment surprised her and a light laugh escaped mouth. “I assume that you’re Mizi. She never mentioned that you had an interesting personality.”

“I have no need to respect some lowly creature who’s card time is long overdue… I understand enough to know that there is one god here, and that it isn’t you!” She shakes her head fast. It didn’t seem like it was lying…Not that she knew what it meant by that, but to admit to it would mean losing.

The expression plastered onto the Queen’s face, was one that felt all too familiar. That being said, she didn’t like it one bit. “I thought that’s why the goddess brought me here, to fix a problem for you. You can never just sit back and let me do anything on my own, can you?” The last comment was more of a playful one, she could already tell something was off but couldn’t quite make out what. Until the dragon’s voice had become an underlying tone to the Queen’s that is, but even if that hinted to the knight at what really was wrong, she still couldn’t just go against her orders. “So much for no fighting, huh?” Standing up to move and take her place in between Fluffy and the Queen now, she faced the goddess.

“I’m sorry to say that you won’t be able to so much as touch the Queen unless you kill me first.” She said she wasn’t as strong, but still being a goddess had meant that it wasn’t going to be as easy as anyone would’ve hoped for. “I dunno about you, but I’m getting excited about having the chance to test my abilities against the likes of you.” Her previous frustrations had all but disappeared, replaced with a smile. Even when faced against the odd orbs that strangely enough, reminded her of Inu’s crystals, and vortexes. “Defeat the creatures and destroy the orbs, sounds easy enough!” With that she started off by slamming her boot against one of the smaller fluffy creatures that had gotten close, sending it flying. “By the way… Don’t think your safe behind all these things. Not for one second.” What better time to show that dragon that her powers wasn’t his by using them herself right now? And so her sword glowed before bursting into hot orange and yellow flames that soon changed into thick dark red and purple wisps of energy. A form of her powers she had just believed to be achieved by concentrating harder, not really understanding it was actually barian influence, but it seems the energies in the area helped it happen easier. “Now, we can really begin playing!~”

There was a bad air about her currently. She turned towards the knight, her face was now riddled with pain. “Mizi–” She stopped suddenly, and gasped. There was no sign of the dragons voice then. But it didn’t last long, soon her expression was just the same as before. “I’ve… changed my mind about the problem. We were looking at this all wrong. The dragon must be freed now. Sorry, but I need to be here to free it, you see..” Their voices were fully integrated now. Though, the glow in her eyes still occasionally dimmed, showing some small signs of struggle still. “Yes, it can’t be helped, it wouldn’t be needed if she wasn’t in our way, but she is.” She turns towards Fluffy and laughs. “….Oh, I’m sure of that. I would expect nothing else from you. It shall be fun.” The Queen takes out her sword and wraps her energy around it. Though, since Mizi was now in between them, she was planning on leaving most of the fighting to her. “I see. Makes sense, after all, you were sealed as well, just like myself. And no… I’ll be the honest one this time. I don’t know that much about you. But I’ve wanted to know more for a while. Hah. Sorry. I won’t allow you to stop me. I don’t even see why you want to bother with doing so, or, is this all about your contract, hmm? …. Oh, it doesn’t now?” She watched closely as the mist surrounded Fluffy, and prepared herself.  

The Queen glared at Fluffy and took in every word as she explained.  Those creatures sure sounded like they were going to be a pain. So, they needed to free the dragon before time ran out, huh? That or stop Fluffy before… “Interesting… So interesting…” The Queens expression was becoming more deranged by the second. That, and the effect the dragon was having on her voice, made her very unsettling. “This should be a fun game indeed…”

Mizi’s words meant she could try and sneak around to free the dragon while the knight was getting rid of the creatures. But even in a weak state, she doubted it would be easy to beat Fluffy. It sure was a good thing she is weakened, otherwise there would be little chance. “Sounds easy? Let’s hope.” She watched as one of them was kicked away by the knight. They indeed weren’t very strong but there sure were a lot of them. It seemed the extra barian power the knight had improved her abilities, which was a good thing in this situation. The energies from the sword looked strong as well.

“Nnnn…  …Yeah. I need to do that. I need to free that monster, alright? So, you just need to keep those things away from me, so I can get to that crystal. Once I am free, I can promise you that, I will eradicate all of them at once… And strike that damn goddess as well…” All signs of struggle came to a halt.

Fluffy grins as she watches the Queen pull out her sword. “Great! I’ll look forward to our sparring~ Oh really? Then that means we’re on the same boat. Well, you wouldn’t let me doesn’t mean that I can’t try to stop you at least so I guess you’re plans won’t go as smoothly as you hoped for, sorry~” Even if she did apologized, she didn’t mean it one tiny bit. “Hmm? My contract? Well my contracts are important to me so you’re not wrong since I get benefits from it… Nope not at all.”

“No need to apologize, it’s understandable Mizi, but you might regret saying those words~ You’re excited? That’s good! Get fired up so then it’ll be much more fun!” Her eyes gleamed to hear that the upcoming fight seems to be promising. “Yep yep! It might sound easy but don’t let your guard down!” She watches her creature flying from the impact and her face grimace for a split second and quickly returned to normal. “Oh don’t worry! I won’t ever let my guard down again.” She turns to look at the Queen and brightened up to hear those words. “Ah! you’re intrigued too? I’m Glad to hear!”

Watching the two continuously attacking whatever were in their way, the Goddess herself continued to weave a bit faster. The orbs hovering in the air were there to help her with the speed of her weaving. “Aww how mean~ They want to get rid of me after that dragon is free!~ I can’t wait to see what happens soon~” Her own colored air starts to spread outward a bit more, when triggered it’ll expand and become thick clouds that’ll slow those in the it down greatly, that was her final defence if the knight ever gets close enough…

While waiting for this knight to come back to her room, the Goddess decided to stay there until she returns. Feeling a presence of someone at the door she assume that it’s the knight. Hearing that comment surprised her and a light laugh escaped mouth. “I assume that you’re Mizi. She never mentioned that you had an interesting personality.”

One ‘god’ was more than enough. The knight honestly felt so small next to them both, but now was not a time to be thinking like that. It wasn’t a god in her eyes, it was nothing more than a monster, stuck in a crystal nonetheless! Feeling her gain her composure back she replied to the voice more confidently. “It’s in my body, you dim-witted monster, so that makes it mine.” There was no way she’d just let some crystallized god-complex creature take credit for her power.

The next thing that happened was even more of a surprise then the creature appearing itself. Why…why was the Queen here? Looking towards the Goddess for an answer, she realized Fluffy was just as shocked as she had been. The pressure forcing the sword down was great, even with Mizi pushing back it didn’t stop it from being lowered. This was wrong, wasn’t it? They weren’t here to release this monster, and she sure as hell didn’t want to stay back either, especially with the Queen acting in such a way. But…it was an order. Fluffy moving between the two was the only relief she had in the situation. The water that soaked her skin and sword was rendered to steam as her frustration caused a small flare of heated energy to rise. “…un…understood.” Complying was always difficult for her, but more often than not, she usually hadn’t been able to argue against it.

Her expression remained emotionless. “Don’t be shocked now, Mizi. I’m just here to fix a problem.” Seems as if both of them weren’t expecting this. In all honestly, the Queen herself didn’t expect this to happen either. She moved her hand away when the sword was lowered. “I can tell you’re not happy about this, Mizi. But don’t worry. There is no need to fight at all right now.” The previously emotionless Queen smirked. “Good.” The heated energy was a sign of some conflict. But with the dragons power as well, sadly, the knight couldn’t resist an order.

A pain indeed, she was going to try and free the monster if she could. And with the extra power the dragon could now leak out thanks to the weakened seal, she was powerless to stand agaisnt its will right now, not from lack of trying, but any signs of struggle were soon stopped. “ …Hmmm?” Fluffy was standing in the way now? The Queen turned around to face her. “Don’t worry about that, it doesn’t matter… I see. But I know you’re not as strong as you should be currently.” Barian energy surrounded the Queen. “Do you think you can stop me, and my knight, goddess? Come on… It’ll be fun. …. I’ve wanted to be free for so long, you should understand that.“ The dragon was now speaking through her. “Very well. I shall not let you stop me… Oi, Mizi I have another order for you.” The Queen pointed towards fluffy. “Get her out of my way.”

“Yea I know… There’s no need to rub it in you know… Telling me is pointless huh?…” Slightly irritated that the dragon thinks of her so lowly compared to it as her eye twitches. “Don thousand?… So that’s the current God of that world huh?… Huh… You seem really confident in your state now since you’re stuck in a crystal and all that…”

“Yea I’m not as strong as I could be right now but I can guarantee that you’ll have a fun time~” Stretching a bit and cracking her knuckles and neck to get her prepared a bit more. “But I’ll be honest, it’s been a while since I fought and fighting isn’t my strongest point in my powers, but it doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t try at least to beat both of you, I highly doubt that I’ll win but if I do manage… I’ll have my first sweetest victory since I broke free.” Snapping her finger as pastel colored light mist surrounded her. “Yea I understand how you feel. Honestly I would help you out but then again I wouldn’t because you’re so arrogant and that doesn’t seal the deal for me…” She looks at Mizi and smiled. “Looks like will finally have that fight…” 

She swings her arms outward to have multiple orbs to appear around her, each one having different hues. Reaching over to a orb and pulling out a string of light, taking that and she starts to weave with other orbs to. “I think it’ll be fair if I tell you what I’m doing now. Right now I’m making a dream, when I’m done you’ll all be trapped in my created world and I’ll win. Each orb has their own power. Destroy all 15 of them and you’ll win.” She snapped her finger again and two vortex appeared beside her, one of them had creatures that would appear in your nightmares. The other vortex had fluffy like creatures that just floated around. They kept on pouring out of it nonstop. “These are creatures that’ll be in your way, they aren’t strong so it wouldn’t be to much of a problem to you but what you’ll have to worry about is how long you can last!~ So good luck!~ And lets begin playing!”

Opening the door of the shop, hoping to maybe find something useful or perhaps to replenish her items before she runs out later on. What she didn’t expect to see is a familiar face. Staring at his face for a good minute processing the information that he’s right there in front of her before she squeals in delight as she gives him a big hug while screaming out his name.

“W-What do you mean Fluffy doesn’t know a lot! She knows everything!!” She stomps her feet a few times and slams her hand onto the table. “Fluffy can read! Fluffy can read as good as Kitsune! Maybe even better then Kitsune!!” She huffs angrily as her face redden as she pouts, crossing her arms and glaring at him even more then usual. “Well Fluffy is super special! She can do many things too! Like grant wishes and make stuff!” She then calms down and grins widely as if she felt that she won the argument. She rubs her head against his hand slightly as she enjoyed the warmth of it for a moment. “Good enough?… But Apollo is good enough to be my friend!”
