Ice and Blood(ch.2)

Ice and Blood (chapter 2)

The fire elemental shot continues stream of fire of intense heat at Finn's icy wall, but because Finn had researched many runes of fire resistance, so her attacks wore with little success. She definitely had power, but she didn't have much control over it, she simply shoots with everything she has. That thought amused Finn to the point of a smile, and after a while, when Flame Princess stopped attacking for a second, she definitely noticed his smile, which looked even more wicked through the ice wall, because her face became a deep frown. And for a while, as her fireballs got smaller, he thought that she had given up and will simply leave. But as always, no such luck. Her fire didn't get smaller, but rather became a lot more compressed into spinning rings of fire. And when Finn noticed her smile, he instinctively stepped to his side, just barely avoiding the rings as they came through the wall. Thankfully he got his attention from the sliced wall back to the Princess in time to see another disk coming and to side step it, he couldn't afford to risk blocking it. If he wanted to survive, he needed to attack. Finn created a sword of ice with more enchantments of durability and swiftness than he ever put on anything before. He probably still couldn't take the disk head-on, but he should be able to deflect it at an angle. Finn started running at the fire being, and when she saw that he was rapidly closing in on her, she started backing up while sending ring after ring at him. Finn parried some, smoothly deflected the other with his blue sword and continued running. Flame Princess was starting to panic, she stopped sending the rings and after charging up for two seconds, while Finn was still about 50 meters away, she shot a huge wall of fire at him. Finn expected that and commanded all nearby snow and ice to be shot at the huge wall of fire. It looked like the ground became alive, got up, and jumped at the fire. Both walls collided with one another in a great crash of steam and water. It all lasted not more than a second, but in the end, the ice won, well, it is no longer ice but water, and it still headed towards the Flame Princess. Either from shock or from fatigue, she just stood there while the now hot water splashed on her. It didn't kill her as it would most other fire beings, but it still had a huge effect. She turned from bright red to sickly-grey red, meaning that she is now as strong as a weak normal girl and it seems that she is unconscious. Finn walked over to her and raised his sword, ready to end her life.

"NOOOO!!" screamed Pen while swinging his grass sword at Finn with incredible speed.

Finn already forgot that Pen was in the game because he didn't interfere until now, but Finn still managed to block the attack and give a counterattack. He grazed Pen's arm with the sword and kicked him in the stomach leaving him on knees and gasping for air. Pen may be strong in battle, but it didn't matter in front of Finn's hundreds of years of experience. Finn then froze his feet to prevent him from moving and got back to the princess. She somehow became conscious but still too weak to be a threat. He raised his sword again, ready to finish what he started. And then he heard something coming from the Princess.

"P-Pen..." she said silently and it looked like she was about to cry.

'What the Glob am I doing" Finn thought with a deep sigh. He lowered his sword and ordered it to disappear, it was made in an instant anyway, but it didn't disappear. Finn froze, not from the cold, because he was the cold, but from the terror of what was about to come. When Finn can't use his powers, there are only two main reasons for it. First - the area he's in is over 1000C°, which is unlikely because there is snow everywhere. And the second - HE was taking over. If Finn was alone in his castle it still would be scary, but now there is his trapped little brother and his very weakened... girlfriend? Whatever the case, he unfrozen Pen and said "Get your girlfriend and run as fast as you can away from here!" he blushed at the word girlfriend and got to the Flame Princess's side and when he touched her he got burned, even though she wasn't as hot as her usual self because of the fight she was still a fire elemental. Finn was running out of time and control but still managed to cast a flame shield on Pen. "Run!" Pen hesitantly touched her, then picked her up bridal style, seeing as she no longer hurts him, and started running. Now that the nuisance has started to fade away from view, Finn could focus on the main problem. First- remove the crown and trow it as far as you can, it won't stop Him but it will make things less difficult for Finn. Second- destroy any weaponry that you have. It isn't possible to destroy this sword because of all the enchantments so Finn also threw it as hard as he could and sat down.

"Do you really think you can resist me?" said a now too familiar voice in his mind.

"No" replied Finn simply "But you will only have my body for at most two days" he said while smiling. Then the voice started chuckling, and this unnerved Finn.

"You know Finn" the crown spoke "I don't need that long to kill those two" He said that and started silently laughing.

He had killed many important people to Finn already: friends, lovers, but never family, or is it that He simply never saw any. "W-whatever, I-I don't care" Finn was panicking now but tried not to show it. The crown started laughing loudly.

"You never wore a good liar Finn!" He started laughing even louder than before "Who is he, that brother of yours that we froze all those years ago?" Finn stayed silent, and the crown interpreted that silence as a 'Yes', and unfortunately He was correct. "I think I will leave you alone for a few hours to think of all the things that I will do to him" Finn didn't waste time thinking about that, he started thinking of how to stop Him from killing Pen. And after thirty minutes of thinking, Finn remembered that he had an old artifact somewhere in the dungeon that could rip the soul out from the body. Finn didn't know if he himself would survive, but he would save Pen no mater what.
