Levitate

“Teiran run to Mica now!” I yelled out. I knew they wanted to take back the subjects that escaped. Mica and I were far too valuable for them, because of our abilities. But did you really think that nobody would fight back? Ever since I read that letter I couldn’t calm my heart. It was beating loudly just thinking back to everything that happened. I couldn’t forgive you for everything you did, but I will dare you to try to hurt Mica one more time!

“Be careful!” Teiran said.

There was no objection from his side, which showed me, in this battle here and now we are fighting side by side. I am no longer the useless trash duke’s daughter with no abilities. I am Sheryansha Vermonde, fiance of Teiran Vermonde and the heir of Vivienne Silvas legacy.

I let the thorns and red roses spread from my skin and let them create a wall separating the attendees from the black-hooded man on my side. Then I slowly raised my hands in the air and with swift movements I let the roses and thorns create a long spear. I lunged ahead into a crowd of the Black Obsidian members and used the roses that spread from my legs to dodge their attacks. One of the men countered me with a lighting strike that sent a tremendous tremor all over my body, however I stood firmly and drove the spear straight into his leg leaving him incapacitated on the floor. Then I created garlands from the ground to bind him to the floor, so he could no longer move.

I continued with a spin as if I was dancing on the ball and pierced the spear into another man’s arms. Swiftly created another pair of garlands and continued my dance and attack technique. Yeah, it seems like this is the only opportunity to dance this time.

One by one I was attacked with a sort of laser which I encountered with white lilies from the flower field that acted reflectively and turned the laser back to its owner leaving him blinded. Then I was attacked by a water cannon, which I encountered with a wall of cardinal flowers which are known to absorb water rather fastly. It left the attacker unguarded and allowed me to pin him down as well. One after another fell down.

“Seriously, did you think I wouldn’t research what I could do with this ability of mine? I am able to summon more flowers as long as I let them get absorbed in my body!”

I realized that during the time where my body absorbed the ice rose, created with Teiran's ice stem. I could use more than just red roses, so while preparing for the ball with the help of Rusha and Carina we were able to make use of this side effect and I ended up absorbing other flowers. It was worth the try. It worked so well, as if these flowers were always a part of my body, with just the thought of what I wanted to do, they spread easily.

“No!” A desperate scream pierced the room. Out of the corner of my eye I could make out a woman lying on the ground in fear and someone trying to protect her with an ice wall. It was Mira who casted it, however at the contact with a man using fire it started to melt.

Fire?

I reached out my hand aiming in between the man and Mira and let a wall of ice flowers pierce through the ground creating a huge protective barrier. Then I let the vines on my legs tether to the walls of the hall and take a huge swing towards the enemy, I pierced him down with the spear, the impact slamming him down on the ground. Then I also pinned him there with steady and firm garlands that couldn’t be broken by brute force.

“Mira! Young miss? Are you alright?”

“Thank you sister, if it wasn’t for you we would have been burned to ashes and dust! If I was just a little stronger" Mira responded defeated.

“No, Mira you endured really well protecting all of the people around you! If anyone dares to say otherwise send them my way and I will take care of them for you” I told her, while holding her shoulders.

She put her hands on mine.

“I am really glad that you are my sister-in-law Sherya!” She smiled softly. Behind her a huge crowd of people, shaken and stunned. She protected them all on her own, standing her ground. You already have done so well Mira, look at you! You did great. Everyone thinks the same way!

“I am the honored one, my dear little sister. Now stay here and don’t move. It's far too dangerous outside! Let me deal with everything and when all of this is over let’s go out for some desserts!”

“Sure, let’s do that! Be careful sister!”

And with these words I swung towards another crowd of people being attacked. I scanned the room for the others and could clearly see Teiran and Dalton, as well as Luca, with the other knights all being involved in fights all over the hall. They will be fine, they all are strong knights of this empire!

The one using fire magic didn’t leave my mind.

“Did they steal that from my family, must be what you are thinking right?” A voice whispered right into my ear while I was leaping off the ground.

It was the heir of Blackwell, the one who kissed me on my hand just a few minutes ago. He was levitating in the air and grinning with a bizarre smile.

“But why?”

The words escaped from my mouth.

“Well you idiot! That potion of yours wouldn’t activate if there is no harm in my intentions! I was genuinely just interested in you.” He responded.

“You! How could you know about the potion?”

“Weren’t you searching for a certain someone? That would be me!”
