The sand ball in the sky was getting larger and larger by the second. But unfortunately, those in the caravan had no plan to deal with it.

Itsuki: What do we do?!

Akeru: I-I-I don't know?! Let's hope she misses???

Ravenbeard: There be no missing with a shot that big, lass. Polisha is about to be flooded by its ruler.

The guards and its captain were all as scared as those in the caravan.

Captain: S-S-S-Sultana, what if that hits us?

Cleo: What if it does? I'll be fine~

Captain: B-B-But what of us?

Cleo: What about you?

The guards and captain were too scared to move; they could die to her for running away…or death due to the sand in the sky.

Armando: I can only go so fast! I don't think I can outrun that much sand! The port town is how far away?

Ravenbeard: About a 2-hour ride, mate. We don't stand a ghost of a chance right now.

The four looked up to the sky as the sand ball reached completion. The ground was all rock; not a speck of sand was left; luckily, the road the caravan was on was made of stone.

Cleo: This is the end…Sandocolypse!

The giant sand ball comes down at the ground like a meteor…but before it could reach it, a tornado the size of the ball formed underneath it, keeping the ball from crashing.

Ravenbeard: What in gods name…

Akeru: A-Armando, stop the caravan, or we will drive right into it!

Armando: I- I can't; it's already pulling us in!

Itsuki: Why didn't we just stay with Aurora…

Cleo's eyes widened as she clenched her fist in rage.

Cleo: That heathen…where is she?! Show yourself, Amani!!!

A harpy woman with short lime green hair and a brownish tan tribal outfit reveals herself in the sky.

Amani: Oh, Cleo…how cute of you to get riled up~ What happened this time? Did someone not pay enough attention to you~?

Cleo: You bitch! I'll fucking kill you!

Cleo transformed the giant ball of sand into millions of spears and sent them flying towards the harpy at incredible speeds. Amani was floating sideways in the air and yawned, waiting for the sand spears to come to her. Those in the caravan watch as the battle unfolds.

Akeru: Who is that woman?

Itsuki: I don't know…but if Cleo changed her target so quickly, it has to be…

Ravenbeard: Aye, it has to be another Witch.

Akeru: Oh! I think I remember reading about her in one of Aurora's books! The Sky Witch, ruler of the skies.

The caravan starts lifting off the ground as Amani gets rid of the tornado and surrounds herself with a wind shield. Then, the caravan plops back down on the ground as it speeds off.

Captain: S-Sultana, the caravan is-

Cleo instantly stabbed him in the chest with a hardened sand spear, glaring at Amani.

Cleo: Let them run; they won't get far for now. I have a more significant issue to deal with.

Amani: Cleoooooo~ Your spears don't work that well! Maybe try harder~

Cleo: How about you try growing some, you damn bitch!

Amani looked down at Cleo and huffed, glaring. Body-wise, Cleo has an average breast size while Amani was skinny with petite breasts.

Amani: Oh, so that's how you want to play?! Fine by me!

Amani dashes at Cleo at high speeds. Cleo sends a sand spear to her hand as she blocks Amani's attack with her razor-sharp wing. The guards all tremble in fear at the display of power between the two Witches.

Cleo: Why are you here?! Just to annoy me?!

Amani: Well, I was just flying through the air, thought I would see how my "sister" was doing-

Cleo: Don't you call me family, you wretch!

Cleo summoned the sand spears around them and started firing them swiftly at Amani. Amani's human feet suddenly morph into bird feet as she rolls around, still trying to fit Cleo with her wing and kicking the sand spears with her feet. Eventually, Amani flies away from Cleo and looks down on her.

Cleo: Had enough ?!

Amani: We hardly have gotten started. Why don't you give up? We both know I can destroy this country with you in it with a light of my finger…

Cleo: Go ahead and try! Then when you fail, I will trap you in so much sand it will be flowing out of all the holes in your body!

Though you probably have experience with things flowing out of your-

Amani sent a large wind blade at Cleo that hit and split the ground. Cleo just smirked at Amani.

Amani: I grow tired of your childish banter.

Cleo: The only child here is you~

Amani's eyes shine with rage as she points to the sky. Then, a giant storm happens around the two: tornadoes, lightning strikes, and heavy rain.

Amani: Time I finish that worthless mouth of yours once and for all!

Itsuki: T-These Witches don't mess around!

Akeru: Armando, try your best to avoid everything, okay!

Armando: C-C-C-C-Can do, miss!!

Ravenbeard: To think I would see two Witches fight in me lifetime…such an occasion is rare, despite how they usually feel about one another. Usually, when two fight, it ends in a draw with the battlefield laid to waste.

Itsuki: Oh, that's just freaking wonderful! Out of one mess and into another!

Akeru: We at least have a better shot at surviving now! She isn't aiming at us anymore; we just have to dodge anything that comes in our direction!

Cleo looked at the caravan in the distance. She glanced back at Amani and formed the sand from around her into a cage. Amani, of course, blew it all away with her wind. Cleo was gone, however, as she had started chasing the caravan. She was gliding with sand around her and on the ground like a wave.

Amani: Why is she going for that all of a sudden…could that be why she summoned her giant sand ball?

Amani smirked and giggled slightly as she zoomed past Cleo towards the caravan.

Cleo: Don't you even dare, you bitch!!

Cleo picked up her speed and chased after her.

Akeru: Oh no.

Itsuki: W-W-Why are both of them coming now?!

Ravenbeard: I highly doubt it be a truce…brace yourselves for what comes.

Armando: W-W-W-We are so beyond dead now…
