Polaris stood there ready, his hands turning an icy blue pigment, he could feel the warmth of his body slowly drain from his hands, as the blue pigmentation crept it’s way up, he looked on at the cluster of icicles he just made, obscuring his view of his opponent,

‘i wonder if he may be onto something’, Polaris thought to himself,

as Aux appeared from behind one of the icicles, he launched multiple daggers towards Polaris’ position, seeing the incoming blades, Polaris’ began to move out of the way, feeling the slight burning sensation in his leg, he flinched, which was all the time the blades needed as they closed in on him, Polaris’ eyes widened as one of the blades neared it, in a fit of panic, he leaned back narrowly avoiding the dark blade, as he fell back Polaris pushed his hand behind onto the ground, propelling himself into the air and back onto his feet, but he didn’t have the slightest moment of reprieve, as Aux was in his face yet again, already attacking him with another blade, but as the blade approached Polaris’ neck, ice encroached over it up onto Aux’s hand, a the blade froze over, in this quick moment, Polaris kicked his opponent off of him, allowing him a second to breathe,

Polaris looked down at his hands, confused as to why Aux’s blade froze like that, his hands and arms were now completely covered in the blue pigmentation, he also noticed that as he took a breath, it came out as frost,

‘i must’ve gone pass the limit she told us about’, Polaris thought, as the rain fell around him, the droplets close to him fell to the ground as ice

Polaris held up his blade, preparing to attack, when he noticed in its reflection, his face was now partially blue, and the ends of his hair began turning white,

Aux took a small moment to catch his breath, he could feel the air around his body cooling, as the atmosphere gave off a slight chill,

’ I wasn’t expecting this, he’s rapidly cooling the atmosphere in his immediate vicinity, and those damn clouds and this rain aren’t helping at all’, Aux thought to himself,

Polaris, held down his sword pointing the blade behind him, rushing forward towards Aux, in retaliation to this Aux summoned, even more Shadow blades, launching another volley at Polaris as he approached, but as they neared Polaris, the blades all froze over, and with a quick swing of his sword he shattered all of the frozen blades, without hesitation, making his way towards Aux, who had a wide grin on his face, as he sprang forward to Polaris, Their blades clashing in the rain,

with both of them putting their all into the clash, Aux’s clothes and skin began to freeze, as the ice crept its way up his arm and down his leg, Polaris took a step forward, putting his weight behind it, causing Aux to be pushed him off sending him flying backwards, and in a split second decision, Polaris stuck his sword into the ground,

‘that fucking bastard would be ecstatic if he saw this’, Polaris thought,

“RELIGIOUS CONTRACT: ICE BOUND”, Polaris shouted, as speared tipped chains shot out from through the ground, Aux saw the chains erupt from the ground rushing towards him, as the smile widened on his face, and he braced for the attack, as the chains ripped into Aux’s flesh, frozen and unfrozen alike, piercing him all throughout his body, as Polaris slightly twisted his sword causing the chains to retract pulling him to the ground,

Aux laid there pinned to the wet cold ground, face down into the mud, as the blood began to run onto the ground before quickly freezing as Polaris stood over him, the chains slowly retracting into the ground from where they came, Polaris kicked Aux over onto his back, placing his sword to Aux’s neck, as he looked about his opponents body, he noticed that one of the chains, pierced directly over Aux’s heart,

“this fight is over, however I’m not going to kill you, I much prefer to leave you here to die”, Polaris stated, as he sheathed his sword, turning his back to walk away, as the blue pigment faded from his skin,

“killing is….killing is apart of who…...you are…..there’s a darkness inside you,i can feel it, I can sense it…..there’s a part of you…...however small you think it may be…..that revels in the kill…...and when you finally…..fully accept it…….you will truly become…...a monster”, Aux spouted, as he maintained the wide grin across his face,

Schlik, a piercing sound rang out, as Polaris felt a familiar burning sensation in his leg, looking down he saw the tip of a blade protruding from his thigh, he jolted around turning to face Aux, but was met with a man in a purple mask with a golden cross covering one eye, as two more blades quickly followed,

Klang, the blade rang out , bouncing off of Polaris’ sword, as the other one buried itself into his shoulder,

“ Can’t any of you do your job today”, the masked man said looking down at Aux,

“somehow you’re even worse than Pix”, he stated,

Polaris stood there watching the masked man trying to figure out how he sneaked up on him, yanking the blade embedded into his shoulder out, he held the blade in his hand as he continued to look on, Polaris raised his hand to his chest, flinging the blade back to its owner, as the blade cut through the air with a low pitched whistle, the masked man caught the blade, returning it once more to Polaris aiming it straight for his eyes, Polaris bent backwards facing the sky, as he came upright again, the masked man was gone along with Aux, as soldiers pooled in readying to attack Polaris,

Somewhere within the Dracht capital

a familiar white haired person flew through the air, his ebony skinned body catapulting towards a stone brick wall, that was already partially destroyed, as he collided with the stone brick wall, small streaks of blood left his mouth as he gasped out, the pain coursing through his body from his back all the way around to his chest,

yumi, lunged forward into the air, her body twisting mid flight to gain momentum as she swung her leg at her opponents red hair that was done in a braided ponytail, yumi’s leg connected to her opponent, as a loud explosive sound filled the air, she was grinning to herself,

‘got him right back for attacking Amon’, she thought,

however when she looked down, she was met with Aluric’s hand a hold of her leg, soon after she could feel the strange sensation of a part of her Divine energy being sucked away from her body, forcing her to struggle to gt free of Aluric’s grip, as her eyes met his, Aluric’s eyes shifted from the normal olive green color they held to a overly familiar bright yellow color with, a plus sign shaped pupil,

“you actually too….”, she began to say, suddenly being stopped as aluric tightened his grip, she felt her whole body move against her will, her view changing from the grey brick streets to the sky and back and forth as she spun freely in the air,

as she was flung into the air by aluric towards the closest building
