Arthur sat on Kian with his sister and May on the ground. "Honestly all of you need to try harder."
"We tried" Kian got out of his weakened body.
"Just thinking about the future scares me, you 3 as guardians would be doom."
"Hey! We're not that bad." Selene said with a groan
"I held back you idiot, of I actually tried I would've killed you" May growled
As Arthur and the 3 takes the area got cold. Everyone looked only to see Khione walking up. "I would like a challenge. I'm tired of those weakling that follow me, they're like ants. So... Arthur Blackthorn I challenge you and no holding back!"
Arthur chuckled "I'll consider it, but first you'll have to beat this here Kian. Once you do that then I'll fight you"
She looked at the boy who was already pretty beat up. May got up and walked over to him. "Don't worry I'll make it fair." She put her palm on his chest and he started to heal.
"Healing magic?" Kian asked while looking at her.
"Mhm, It's not the best, but it's good enough." Once she took her hand off she handed him his sword "Don't lose... Kian"
Selene got up with a sudden burst of energy "And if you lose... I'll punish you! So you better keep fighting!"
Arthur sat back with a chuckle "A lot of pressure little man. Let's see you beat Khione."
The 2 stood ready to battle. Khione stood with a cold face as she grabbed her sword. "Ready?"
Kian nodded and in an instant she dashed towards with a full on swing aimed at his gut. He jumped back, but she followed up with a bunch of strikes. Then she got low and threw her sword up cutting his cheek. Then he fell to the ground. "I won, Arthur. Now-"
"No! I'm not done yet!" He stood up with his sword in hand "I'm not giving up. I refuse to, so if you really wanna win... You'll have to break my spirit!"
Khione looked at him and thrust her sword into the ground. "Fine, but this time I'll fight you hand to hand."
Once Kian stood up he gripped his sword ready to fight again. Khione stepped forward with 2 steps before dashing towards him and hit him with a gut punch which sent him back. She followed up with a knee kick which sent him on his butt.
"KIAN!" Selene and May yelled.
Khione looked at Kian then at Arthur "Once again, I-"
"Hey... Didn't you hear me? I said... I'm not... Gonna give.. Up! Not until you break my spirit!"
She grinded her teeth "STAND UP! I'LL KILL YOU! I WAS TRYING TO HOLD BACK KN YOU, But now... I won't hold back not even a little." As soon as he stood she surrounded her fists with ice and began a massive Barrage of punches. Kian tried blocking, but it was no use, he got sent back flying.
Selene grabbed her brother "ARTHUR, SHE'S GONNA KILL HIM! STOP HER!"
"Not yet... I wanna see how far he'll go."
Khione kept striking and Kian was on the ground now. She stopped when she noticed this. Her breath cold and the ice on her fists gone now with blood.
Yet to her surprise, Kian... Stood. He looked at her. "I'll beat you..."
Who the hell is this boy? How is he still standing even after I beat him so many times?
Kian walked towards her. "I've got you figured out now, Khione..." He held his hand up and the symbol glowed "Blastos!"
Because of the symbol Blastos was now 15% stronger which sent Khione flying and crashing to the ground.
Arthur walked beside her "You give up?"
She didn't say a word, all she did was look at the boy who had defeated her.
Selene jumped up. "COME ON LET'S GIVE IT FOR KIAN!"
May smiled "Hooray!"
Both girls clapped and cheered.
Arthur looked at Khione who was in disbelief. "You fought greatly... You should be proud of yourself." He then walked away.
She pulled her knees to herself. She didn't know what to feel. She never had to feel, she grew up never feeling.
She was born Cadis as a commoner, yet she had an extremely powerful ability. Harsh Frost. Where everything she touched was frozen solid. So she became a war weapon. The nobles would use her to destroy and kill, leaving her to become emotionless and also extremely dangerous and unbeatable. They had also taught her how to fight and how to control her ability so that she could touch without murder, yet her hands still brought chills.
But Kian, Kian had defeated her, a boy she could have killed. Not only that he refused to give up even though she was clearly capable of ending him.
She bring her knees to herself not knowing what to do. Until she heard footsteps.
She looked up and saw the boy he was pretty messed up, yet still standing. He held his hand out and said "Come on, let's go."
She looked at his hand as if it were some foreign object, but eventually she grabbed it. His hand felt different to her. It felt... Warm.
He felt warm, she leaned into him and closed her eyes, never wanted to go.

Back at the school Kazuya and Mimi saw the 4 and they all met up. Khione was clinging to Kian, which was making May pretty jealous. "HEY, IT'S MY TURN!" She pushed Khione off and hugged Kian "He already proposed to me!" She stuck her tongue out.
Khione grew ice around her "Is that so?"
"Oh no..." Kian said as Arthur laughed. Kazuya still wondering how his friend has 3 girls now.
Selene jumped near Kian "Both of you calm down, your making Kian sad!"
"S-Selene..." Kian studdered
Selene looked and she was on his leg once she noticed she shrieked jumped away. "SELENE!"
As he went down to pick her up, May and Khione ran to help.
***
In the Heavens the goddesses were trying to stop Alya from going to see Kian.
"Alya, not now! Aether specifically said not to let you go!"
"Calm down!"
"You... Just shut it!" Alya yelled she took a breath and blew a large gust of wind blowing them away. She smirked and ran to the gates. "KIAN, HERE I COME!"
***
Kian stood as he felt a familiar energy, he turned only to see a portal with visible clouds around it. He walked up only to be tackled to the ground. The person got up. "KIAN!"
"Goddess?!" He yelled
She hugged him tackling him again her hair messy now.
"Goddess!"
May growled and ripped her off of him. "I SAID IT WAS MY TURN YOU EXTRAS!"
"I WASN'T DONE!" Khione yelled.
"I JUST GOT HERE SO I GET TO BE WITH MY FUTURE HUSBAND!!!"
"You three! Calm doooown!" Selene cried
Kazuya pouted "He still hasn't told me how he does it. I haven't attracted a single girl yet..."
Little did he know Mimi was behind him listening to every word. She walked up and poked his cheek. "Stop being so jealous, you'll find one soon"
He sighed "Yeah... I guess. Thanks Mimi" He petted her and rubbed her ears. "Your lucky usually I'd bite people whenever they did this. But since you saved me 2 times, you get 2 minutes"
Arthur watched them with a smile and walked off. As he walked he looked at his sister one last time, because he didn't know if it'd be his last. He gripped his sword and walked to the gates where a carriage was.
The wind blower as he stood in front of Mr. Hallswell. "Tell everyone I won't be back for a while, I'm going to see someone."
"You won't bring your sister?"
"No... She's not ready to go there yet. She's growing though so soon."
Mr. Hallswell smiled and nodded and Arthur got in the carriage and Mr. Hallswell went back to the school.
As the carriage went off Arthur looked back one last time. "You better protect her, Kian, otherwise I will be the one beating you up."
"Aww, how cute."
Arthur turned around and Princess Seraphina was there. "You don't have to come."
"I'm not coming for just any reason you know... I wanna see and slay... A superior dragon." Seraphina said crossing her legs
