~~~(POV: Helda Vora)~~~

~~~(Location: The Palace in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:13 AM)~~~

Queen Oryzox has nearly mortally wounded me with that last attack. Calling off Hailey is a foolish thing to do, but if an elf doesn't free the elven people, nothing will change. "Peasant, you can't go on. If you and your friends submit, I'll be merciful. If Slayer Zern joins my Kingdom, I'll even let you go." Cera would never do something like that, and he'd kill her before that would happen.

Blood is coming out of me fast, and my right arm is numb. It isn't moving when I try. "There is only one way this ends, Queen Oryzox. Either you die, or we both do. Your madness and rule are coming to an end. The elven people will be free from your tyranny." I straighten my body and take a breath. My fighting arm is disabled, but that doesn't me this is over.

Before I can press for an attack, a golden light envelops me, and all my wounds are healed. I turn to see Cera holding out his hand and using his healing skills on me. "I won't do this again, so fight smarter." I send him a smile and mentally thank him. He gives a half-grin and finishes healing me. Queen Oryzox lets out a little growl and stands across from me.

She's a reasonable distance away, and now I have an advantage. As badly as I wanted to finish this fight without any outside help. Getting healed is something I needed. "I'm sick of ordinary people thinking they have a say!! You are nothing but the dirt beneath my boot!!" She charges forward in anger in our blades clash. 

She's moving a little slower than she did before, and that's from using so much mana on one attack. In a flash, she drives the tip of her blade towards my heart, but I block it with the flat end of my blade and kick her away. She twirls in the air and lands, coming back at me with another attack. I parry and twist her blade to cause an opening. I take a jab at her heart.

Queen Oryzox narrowly dodges the attack, and I get a good cut on her shoulder. It's not nearly fatal or stops her from attacking, but it's bleeding good. She backflips away, and I pressure her. Giving her no time to gather a defense. She's recoiling from the power of my attacks and gritting her teeth in anger. "Filthy peasant!!" Her retaliation is coming.

Her speed increases, and she kicks me away and follows fast. Jabbing the tip of her blade towards all the vital areas of my body. I'm blocking and parrying her attacks, and I use her unstable mood to shift my position and get inside her guard. I play dirty, and I headbutt the shit out of her. A large crack comes from her nose, and it's pouring blood. 

She jumps back and tries to regain balance. I'm betting that disorientated her good. Wasting no time, I dash forward, and I jab the tip of my blade through her left shoulder. "ARRGGHH!!!" She stopped a fatal attack on her heart, but she's sacrificed her shoulder. She pushes me away, and my blade comes with me. Leaving a clean and debilitating injury. 

Her left shoulder and arm are hanging to the side, and she's lost all mobility. Figured I hit a nerve or tendon in there. "What's the matter, Queen? Never felt a real injury before?" Her fury is boiling over, and you can see it all over her. Blood is leaking from her nose and shoulders. "I told you. This isn't over until you're dead or we both are. I'm not losing here." I've come too far to fail now.

To my surprise, she takes a calming breath. I can't let her gain any ground. I have to keep attacking her. So, instead of allowing her to gain a foothold. I attack and let a blitz of strikes out. She's doing her best to block and parry my attacks with one arm, but the power behind my strikes is starting to wear her out. But she feints a weakness and slashes my side.

It's not deep enough to kill me, but it's bleeding, and if I move the way I am, I'm going to make it worse. "Don't think I'm going to lay down and die, Peasant. No matter how much ground you gain, this victory you desperately want will come with a great challenge. You may win, but not before dying yourself." I'm prepared for that. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let it happen.

They're not going to give the other the win. Helda is determined to be the one that frees the oppressed people of The Elven Kingdom. Her motivations and dedication to this are probably going to cost her everything. "Mind telling us what's going on?" Cera's... Mother... Decides to break the silence that was held for this battle.

Cera and Hailey didn't expect to see their parents, not today. Their faces tell everything. "That's Helda Vora. She's a friend and fighting for the freedom of the elven people in this battle." Hailey starts to talk, and I would think Cera should be the one to explain it to them. Not that it's bad, but I just would've thought Cera be the one.

My eyes aren't on them anymore. My attention is on the battle, and Helda slowly gains an advantage. Regardless of her wound. "What are you guys really doing here?" The sudden question from Cera almost takes my mind off the battle. Cera isn't a person that likes surprises. That much I know. His parents showing up out of nowhere is a surprise, to be sure.

His wings are still out. The reason I can tell is from him still having them spread out. Nearly engulfing the entire group. "What's wrong with wanting to finally reunite with our kids? Do you really not want us around that bad?" Violet, the mother, decides to respond before anyone else can. All I hear from Cera is silence. 

All the conversations stop as Helda and Queen Oryzox unleash powerful skills. Negating in a clash of power that hasn't happened in the fight yet. I'll give the Queen credit. She's far stronger and more capable than I believed her to be. "We're ending this! Here and now!!" I'm taken aback by the sudden outburst from Helda.

~~~(Location: The Palace in Greshina, Elven Kingdom)~~~

~~~(Time: 10:18 AM)~~~

I've lost a lot of blood... Everything is starting to go grey... My arms and legs are feeling heavier by the second... I'm dying... She's won... I try my hardest to keep up with her new onslaught of attacks, but she opens my guard, and the next thing I feel is numbness in my right arm. I look with my blurry grey vision, and my arm is gone. "Oh..." In the next second, I feel her blade sink into my chest.

It hurts... It truly does... But not as bad knowing that I don't know what happened to my daughters. "Wait! Don't kill her!! I need to speak with her!!" A distorted voice bounces around my head as I'm lifted off the ground a little in someone's arms. "Please... Tell me where your son is... Tell me where my father is..." Father? My son? I see... Saliandra Orvello...

Now I know why Slayer Zern is here and why this attack has occurred... My life is slowly fading. "My son... He was exiled to where the Kingdom of Avalon now sits... He was there before it appeared... I don't know where he is specifically... But he's somewhere near Tesi-..." My voice leaves me as I feel a tremendous cold overcome me...

My eyes are heavy, and I close them... All that I see is darkness... Before a light appears... A man walks to me... Grabbing my hand and my weakness is gone. "Are you coming? Sweetcakes." I know that voice... He's come back for me.
