Now flying up in the air at a couple hundred feet, one hand on Hinami's neck, one on his sword, it looked as though this Onkai was doomed to death.

If he froze Hinami, they would both die on impact, if he didn't he would die on impact. She was either planning to use Onkai as her cushion for the fall or going to drop him to his death.

"Are you mad?!" He cried as they shot through the clouds and kept gaining altitude.

"Nope!" She replied with a cheerful smile.

She bit the hand Onkai was using to strangle her, leading to the end of his hold, and also leading to his fall.

He fell down at a furious pace, "Arghhhh!" He screamed as the ground approached him, closer and closer.

He breathed in deeply, composed himself, and struggled to line his body upright, but managed to do so.

He pointed his body as if he was arrow, shooting towards the 150 meter wall that surrounded the entirety of the great city he could see from above.

Onkai formed a blue ball from his palms that formed into a giant icicle, about three times as big as him.

He reinforced it with as many layers of ice as he could to harden it further

He closed down on the wall and just as he was about to crash into it, he hammered the icicle into the thick black rock that made the wall.

His hands broke and he flung back up again from the sheer impact.

ONKAI -13 HP {7/100}

HEAL UP URGENTLY!

As he fell again, he just about managed to take hold onto the icicle again.

A case of theft: this story is not rightfully on Amazon; if you spot it, report the violation.

Down on the ground it seemed as if it was a warm, sunny day, but up there, it felt like the coldest of winters.

Winds screaming and whooshing with the snow that vaporized as it fell closer to the ground but stabbed you at its ferocious speed high up there.

With all his might, Onkai grasped onto the icicle for dear life and shuffled closer to the wall.

His efforts made it so that he was right against the wall, he jumped and...

ICE SLIDE

Onkai slid down the wall at such great pace he was able to avoid a fall, he stuck to it and slid down a slope of sticky ice, allowing him a soft landing to the ground.

"So you managed to survive the fall, huh. I admire your determination." It was Hinami, flying up in the sky with her wings open, a smug smile spread across her face, confidently thinking and knowing Onkai must be weak.

"I have to get out of here." Onkai thought to himself as he clenched his abdomen. Everything hurt. He didn't want to, and he knew he shouldn't, but deep down inside, he kept repeating those haunting words to himself, "I'm going to die here."

A FROZEN FRIEND

He summoned a horse and, though it wasn't like him, he decided to run away.

"You coward! You choose to run in the face of difficulty, and here I was calling you determined!" Hinami taunted him as she powered through the wind, chasing Onkai from the from above.

Onkai thought it would be best if he skipped over the fence that isolated Elmor Town from the rest of the capital, so he could lose Hinami in the crowd.

As he charged forward, Hinami armed herself with her chained mace yet again and aimed at Onkai.

Onkai looked back, anticipating what would would happen next, and decided to ride in a zig-zag motion.

Hinami sent her mace flying towards Onkai, but by the strand of a hair missed.

She forced her mace back and took another shot.

Swoosh after swoosh, miss after miss, Hinami was starting to lose her temper, making her force ever more ferocious.

However, Onkai's movements became even more unpredictable.

The fence was in short reach and Onkai sped forth.

He prepared his horse to jump, and so it did.

SMASH!

Hinami took one last shot at Onkai from the sky... but missed.

The fence was smashed into pieces, but Onkai very much alive, though he narrowly escaped death.

Onkai rode into the heaving markets and dismounted his horse, losing himself in the crowd.

If Hinami chased him down any further and tried to attack him, she knew she would harm the civilians given her destructive nature, so she decided it was best to stop there.

"Lucky bastard!" She screamed thumping her fists into the air and whooshing her mace around uncontrollably, leading the civilians to stare at her in an awkward manner. "If we ever face each other again, it'll end with you smashed into bits from this very mace!"

Onkai snuck behind a small stall selling fruits.

He started to laugh hysterically, realizing just how marginally he had escaped death.
