Chapter 48 - Khione, The Frost disaster

Khione opened her eyes, she was in a bed next to her still sleeping sister, in the corner was Leto. "You up bitch?"

"Leto?"

"Hehe, maybe you need a refresher" Leto took off the maid uniform revealing the black dress underneath, it had a opening near her bosom. Plus like a dress it was open at the bottom showing her slender legs.

Then she took a loose her hair which fell at her shoulders. "Now do you remember?"

Khione's face showed true fear as she looked at the woman before her.

***

When Khione was 5 she had looked forward to helping her younger sister. She tried to teach her how to walk, how to run, and how to dance.

Soon they both growed, they saw the world a very bright one... Until the Nobles came along with... A woman named Charlotte. She had string magic and was very good with it, sometimes called a spider.

They looked through the village and saw Khione and Khiade and her father tried to stop them, so Charlotte got a string and decapitated him and killed the mother by hanging her multiple strings all over her body.

Then they took the traumatized children as slaves.

They were given to King Donis' son Ethan.

Ethan was pretty cruel, he made them clean up everything even messes he could clean in an instant. Sometimes he'd even drop stuff purposely just bully them.

If they didn't though...

He'd drag them and take them in the room a room Khione began to fear with all her heart.

He'd grab belt and proceed to beat them, sometimes with his hands.

One day Khiade came to Khione balling, she had a bruise on her left side, the girl couldn't move without feeling pain, that's when Khione snapped.

She ran up to Ethan and tried to push him but instead the whole room ahead froze.

Ethan covered in frost was scared for his life.

The guards came and found that Ethan gained frostbite, his arm and left hand had to be amputated.

The King noticed Khione's abilities and took her, the sisters tried to fight, but in the end they were separated.

The King made Khione watch people like her die and even forced her to kill some in fights.

It was her life or theirs, soon she became cold and her heart became like an ice cube.

She killed armies and rebels with ease, but one day she found the extent to her abilities.

Charlotte was supposed to be watching her, but when she looked away. Khione ran and froze her way through the Slavers and ran away.

She made it to Arcadia and enrolled, she wanted to find Khiade, but only when she was sure she was powerful enough to destroy Cadis.

That's when she met Kian, unlike everyone else who she asserted dominance over, he never gave up. He even showed her warmth.

Then Kaede and the others began to be kind to her.

They were her family along with Khiade if she was still alive.

***

"CHARLOTTE!"

Charlotte smiled "Oh don't yell too loud everyone can hear you."

Khiade woke up and saw Charlotte and hugged Khione who hugged her back.

"Get away from us!"

"Oh don't worry, I just came to see you two before you were... Whipped to shape again. Anyway I'll be seeing you two later, I have more important things to attend."

Charlotte walked away to go to Kian's cell.

Then Azazel came inside "Hello, Ice prodigy and sister. My name is Azazel, The King of Demons. I am very pleased to be your master today."

"If you touch me or my sister you piece of shit, I'll kill you."

"Kill me? Now that's not kind"

"You don't deserve kindness! Enslaving me and my big sister!"

"Ah I guess your right, Regardless. You two are nothing, but slaves as of now. How truly satisfying!"

He walked over and a demon spawned behind him "Now... I say let's see how much you love your dear sister, after all you did leave her behind."

Khione froze

"Oh, forgot about that? You ran away got a husband and forgot all about her didn't you."

"No I... I..."

She looked at Khiade who was looking down.

Azazel laughed "Now isn't this quite the predicament?"

"You were coming back weren't you?"

Khione didn't answer, because the truth was, no she wasn't. She has forgotten all about her sister and just wanted to stay happy.

"I'm sorry Khiade, I'm so sorry. I... I wasn't the best sister for you."

"What are you talking about?! You were, you still are. Khione, Big sister... I... I LOVE YOU!"

Khione's eyes widened as she began to tear up.

Azazel growled and whistled his dog stepped inside.

Khione glared at both and brought Khiade close and whispered. "Khiade... Run away as fast as you can, because this castle is about to meet a blizzard at max potential."

Khiade looked at the dog and Khione. Khione nodded and put her hand on the bed frame forcing a massive amount of ice to come towards the dog and Azazel.

Khiade ran past it, but turned to catch a glimpse of her sister.

Her eyes were light blue and her body was pale. Not only that ice was beginning to grow on her.

Khiade wiped her eyes before running.

Azazel looked at his dog "GO!"

The dog chased after Khiade.

Azazel smiled and spread his arms as a bunch of demons spawned then into chaos he disappeared.

Khione stepped off the bed as one demon ran to her and froze then another and another. Once they were all frozen she snapped her fingers making them all explode. Then she walked out and as she did the room froze and so did the area she walked past everything froze in her presence.

A guard walked up and she grabbed his steel bar and it froze along with him.

***

Soon Khione reached the power flowers the entire upstairs was like an ice cave with ice sculptures.

No one could stop her and if it tried it'd be frozen to death.

Soon she heard a loud boom she turned only to see someone familiar standing there. Thinking it was a guard she froze the person only to find it was Kian.

His eyes were white, but soon the light dimmed.

Then they returned as he broke out only to be frozen again, Khione grabbed him and threw him away from her and went deeper into the prison

***

May and Alya felt the chill and soon saw Khione.

The bars were frozen as she passed and left.

Alya and May stepped out.

"Khione, don't kill yourself."

Khione's hands were frozen her breath cold, likely close to dying.

She kept walking till she herself froze, right in front of the female cell area.

Kaede and the others saw her, their cells almost froze.

Before Kian completely went though she flicked her hand touching the ground and breaking Kaede's and the others cell bars.

Then she stopped moving.

Kaede ran out and tried to hold the girl, but couldn't as she was too cold.

Commander Elara stepped out "Kaede..."

Kaede looked at Khione and for the first time in a long time began to cry. She couldn't do anything about the situation, she couldn't fight it or yell her way out.

There was no way to save her, or was there.

"Kaede... There's a way to save her, you have to use the spirit within you. Remember what I said?"

Kaede looked at her

"Your ancestors could destroy magic. Come on save your friend."

Kaede put her hand on Khione her hands freeze.

Then she focused on her spirit and when she tapped into it the ice began to melt.

Soon Khione was unfrozen, but still unconscious.

Kaede However smiled as she slowly passed out.
