Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 5

(Author's Note: Short chapter again! But this time, a funny scene comes in. Reference of Pokemon.)

"Alright, let's do this!" Kiui exclaimed, stretching her fingers a little before typing something into the monitor. The password was rejected. Kiui looked annoyed, but before she could try again, Mango stopped her.

"Let me try." Mango said, typing in:

Pokemon Puzzle League

The monitor opened with a beep. Mango gave a snarky smile to her sister, who turned into a cat with banana-yellow scales, kiwi-green eyes, and gray fur and yowled, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO -"

As Kiui screamed as though she was in pain, Mango softly chuckled. "Sis, you were going to hack the monitor, not log into the thing. You really have a bad habit of hacking into technology." Kiui still throws a childish tantrum over this.

(Author's Note: Falling in line with a comic book makes me want to make the plot move faster, but I caaaaaaaaaan't! So, for now, enjoy this short chapter.)

Mango was pacing when Kiui walked in the room and crossed her arms. "Alright, what's wrong?" Kiui asked.

Mango looked at Kiui at said, "It's Scylla. We haven't heard from her, and she hasn't come back yet. We're supposed to be discussing voodoo products today!"

Kiui sighed. "Imma go check that camera chip I installed."

Mango paused, looking at Kiui with an annoyed expression. "Kiiuii," Mango hissed. "Those chips were supposed to be for those Mercats -"

"- Which went missing a year ago, I KNOW. But let's just assume that they're happy and healthy and move on. I may have an idea of where she is."

Mango perked up. "What? Really? Where -"

"Buuuut, you won't like it." Kiui said. Mango sighed.

"Explain, scientist."

"Well, you said that Scylla disappeared into a portal five days ago, right?" Kiui asked. Mango nodded. Kiui continued, "Weeeeeeeeeell, I may or may not have tracked the portal to another, more digital universe."

Mango blinked. "WHAT?!" She shouts. "Why didn't you tell me this?!"

"Oh, you wanted the information sooner? I had to convince Demetria to give me her monitor," Kiui smirks. "Or face the inevitable hacking I will do to her computer."

"...Remind me to never let you manipulate people's technology again." Mango said.

"You know that's never gonna happen, Fruit Punch." Kiui teased. Mango throws a goldfish at her sister in response, smacking Kiui in the head. Kiui blinked. "HEEEEEEEY-"

{Instructions unclear; now hurdling Mango into the TADC Universe in the next chapter.  :>  }

"I'm sorry, YOU FROZE YOUR OWN HOUSE?!" Mango asked, horrified at what Demetria just explained.

"Y-Yeah? After seeing...animatronics." Demetria cautiously answered, just now realizing the consequences of her actions.

"Demetria Emerald Mochisolar, do you remember last year, when you had done something kind of like this before?" Mango asked, raising an eyebrow and throwing her arms up in the air to empathize her point.

"Yeah...?"

"STOP DOING THAT!" Mango shouts.

"No, I don't know how."

Inhaaaaaale. "Can I throw a goldfish at you now?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"So, that's an icy situation," Mango said as she inspected Demetria's house. "At this rate, you could be stronger than Elsa herself."

Demetria groaned. "Can we PLEASE not talk about it?'

"Fine," Mango replied. "But you have to answer to Dr. Sylveon later."

The blizzard stopped as Demetria made a singular hand gesture, saying, "Sure."

Mango raised an eyebrow, smirking. "You were saying?"

"Mango, please don't -"

Mango's Adventures in Angst-Land: Chapter 2

(Author's Note: 'Tis problem is getting out of hand. Enjoy!)

When Mango reached the house, Hikari was pacing back and forth on the porch. Spotting the cat, Hikari growled, "There you are! Do you have any idea how worried we were, seeing you rush into the blizzard? Especially when -"

Hikari stops scolding her daughter when she sees the injured, unconscious form of Demetria. The mother's eyes widened. "...Best come in." They went inside.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mango held Demetria's limp hand, subconsciously rubbing circles on it as she waited for Demetria to wake up and/or get up, something. Mango stayed up for the rest of the night, watching Demetria and grabbing her a fresh batch of Demetria's favorite flavored hot chocolate. Just as morning came and went, Mango started to lose hope on her older cousin. Although the frostbite was disappearing, the worry didn't, and that worry fed Mango's anxiety.

"How's she doing?" Scylla asked, slowly walking into the room. She knew the dangers of startling Mercats.

Mango's eyes welled up. "I-I don't think she will -" The dam broke, and Mango hunched down, sobbing. "Sh-she's p-probably g-gone b-by n-now a-and it w-won't -"

Scylla hugged Mango. "Mangie, she's still here. I promise you, she'll be awake soon." Scylla reassured the crying girl. Mango held onto Scylla tightly, sobbing her eyes out until she fell asleep.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Mango woke up, Demetria was standing over her, looking cheerful and sunny, which made Mango confused and angry. Why is her cousin so happy when she literally almost died? Mango hissed, "Why are you so calm when you have a magical blizzard GROWING LARGER EVERY MINUTE?"

Demetria winced. "Nice to see you again, too. And...Yeah, so, uh, well..." She inhales. "I'm grounded from using my powers."

Mango looked like she was going to blow up. "For. How. Long?"

"An hour." Mango breathed a sigh of relief. Demetria said, "Buuuuut...Scylla said you had an emotional breakdown yesterday." Mango tensed up. Demetria asked, "Are you okay now?"

Mango muttered, "I'm fine."

"You know what? That's fair."

Mango's Adventures in Angst Land: Chapter 1

(Author's Note: This chapter is connected to The Blizzard. Please read The Blizzard if you haven't read it yet.)

"What?" Kiui whispered.

"Demetria knows me, and I know her. The only time something like this happens nowadays is when she's experiencing a nightmare." Mango said. "I'm going after her."

"Mango, wait -"

"MANGO MOCHISOLAR, COME BACK -"

Mango tuned them both out as she ran the door, grabbing her winter coat. I know the forest better than anyone, Mango thought. If anyone can find her, I can.

It felt like hours before Mango found Demetria, and what Mango saw was terrifying.

The forest around her felt dead, and Demetria was encased in an icy cocoon. The heart of the blizzard was right above them, causing the temperature to drop every second Mango stood there.

Mango rushed over to the cocoon, banging on it with her fists. "Demetria, wake up, it's just a nightmare." Nothing happens. "Fluuuuuuff." Mango whispered, her tears turning to ice. "Come on, please, don't leave me." Mango pleaded.

Without thinking, she extended her claws and attempted to slice through the chrysalis ten times, each scratch digging deeper into the ice each time, until finally -

CRRAACK!

The cocoon cracked open, the ice revealing the unconscious and frostbitten form of Demetria. Mango gasped in horror, her ears going up in shock. She quickly took off her coat and carefully wrapped it around Demetria. Mango transforms into the form of a ginger cat with wet, orange scales peppering random spots on her body, and picks up Demetria carefully, gently setting her on the cat's back. Carrying Demetria away from the horrid, frozen sight, Mango hissed, "Stay with me,  big cuz. You gotta be strong."

The Blizzard: Chapter 10/Epilogue

(Author's Note: IT'S TIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIME!!!!!!! Oh, and Ajalia belongs to a different story yet to be written, but she is very much a part of the story.)

Luckily, this wasn't a city or a castle, like it was a year ago. It was more of an accident, the trigger for it being the animatronics and the surroundings affected was a forest.

Demetria will never make fun of Ashley, Serenity, Ajalia, and Amaris's fear of animatronics ever again. She understood that feeling now, Demetria ran and ran, never looking back to see if the animatronics are following.

Meanwhile, the blizzard above storms over to other areas, frosting them in ice.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mango looked outside groggily. "Uhh... guys? Should it be snowing at twelve a.m. in the morning?"

"What?" A very-awake Kiui asked, also looking through a window. "HOLY SALMON, IT'S SNOWING OUTSIDE!"

Hikari walked into the kitchen, asking groggily, "What's all the fuss about, girls?"

"It's snowing outside, about 20 miles away from us." Mango reported.

"What in the name of the heavens have I gotten myself into?" Hikari muttered. "It's winter, I'm sure everything's fine." Mango gave her sister a knowing look, which Kiui understood immediately.

Kiui gasped, whipping her head to look at the blizzard. "Demetria made the blizzard?! But she only does that if..."

"She's fearful," Mango muttered.

Kiui looked at Mango. "What?"

THE END OF THE BLIZZARD.

The Blizzard: Chapter 6

[Author's note: So, warning!~ There's death and violence, as well as Pokemon and Sonic the Hedgehog references. Furthermore, Dasher and Glimmer are not my original characters, nor is the event canon to the author's story. Please check out the story here to get the gist of what the characters are (although their segments are scattered) (Use google please I can't get the link to work!) https://archiveofourown.org/works/46657225/chapters/117504355]

My stuffed animals' POV

"Mooooooooooooooom!" Maleficent the Dragon shouted. "Great-Grandma sent us a story!"

"YAAAY! She's finally letting us read her stories!" Fennekin the Fox yelped.

"What? Let me see that." Charlotte the Tiger snatched the pages. "It's only one chapter!"

"No fair!" Jenny the Dog shouted.

"What's that note?" Conrad the Dragon pointed to the slip of paper.

T the Tiger swiped it before Drow could burn it. Spooky looked confused. "What's going on?" Spooky asked.

T read the note. "Dear children, you have been granted a late St. Patrick's Day present. Remember to be good and no leprechauns will pinch you! Love, A.M."

"What does - WAAIIT a minute. Are we supposed to read this?" Matcha guessed.

"If we are supposed to read it, then let's read the story!" Charlotte cheered.

"YAY!!!" Maleficent shouts. T sighed.

"Then let's get to it."

December 12

Emerald's POV

Emerald hissed through her teeth, the numbing her current anger  at her friend. It was her birthday, for the love of  Arceus! How did that unicorn possibly forget that today was his friend's birthday?! The argument he had wasn't even an argument at all! It was his excuse to go off and use his ill-used royal power to gain more magical and achieve immortality.

Emerald felt herself changing, but she didn't care. Ice shimmered in the air, practically BEGGING to be used as a weapon.

She grabbed those shards as the maid came in.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I'm sorry, EMERALD'S EVOLVING?" Mango asked as her sister dragged her into the security room/office.

"Yeah, and she's making ice." Kiui said.

"Well, I'm glad I'm a Mercat." Mango muttered.

Hikari burst into the room, saying, "I'm sorry, I just got the text and ran as fast as I could to see -"

"It's fiiiine. You're just in time to see our cousin's final form!" Kiui said, pulling up camera footage. Pft, kittens.

"What is she doing?" Mango wondered.

"Take a look, but don't look at the maid." Kiui warned.

"Why not?" Mango asked. Hikari took a look at the feed and gasped.

"She froze the maid!"

"What the - HOLY SALMON!"

Panic ensues as Kiui sighed, shaking her head in annoyance.

"Will you two stop panicking for five minutes? If Emerald's evolving like this, then she's becoming one of those Frosters." Sylvia barked on her end of the call. A glare was directed at the screen. "Okay, fine, one of the ice-type Pokemon. Happy?" 

Mango mumbled an apology, while Hikari hissed, "How are you so calm about this? Emerald j-just - I don't know, encased a maid in ice!"

"I'm scared too, but I wanna see where this is going," Sylvia replied. "And your apology is accepted, Mango."

"If you ask me, I think little Emerald here is going to execute the rulers of that empire." Scylla piped up.

Merlina asked, "Why would you think that?"

"Because I did that, too."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Emerald looked deeply into her ice statue's eyes, muttering, "Interesting." She strode into the hallway. "Now where's Dasher?" Her heels clicked as she stepped through room after room in the castle, even freezing the palace staff as she passed by.

At this point, no one would recognize Emerald as who she was before. Her eyes and hair were colored in different shades of icy blue, unlike the brown hair and eyes she had only several moments before. It was only a short period of time before almost a third of the castle was covered in ice, the temperatures were dropping every five seconds, and a huge blizzard was covering the city outside in ice and snow.

"Halt! Who are you, and what business do you have with the AAA -"  A guard was frozen near the dining room.

Emerald stepped into the room. "That was too easy. The fools are definitely planning something." She hissed angrily. Emerald was seething with rage, ready to go outside and worsen the snowstorm outside. For one, yī would not mess with an angry woman such as Emerald, but another wouldn't care.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"What did you mean by you did it too, Scylla?" Mango asked cautiously.

"Yeah, did you pull that off?" Kiui demanded, her cat ears pointing upwards in excitement.

"Kiui Banana Mochisolar, are you actually asking if our former clan leader pulled off whatever stunt Emerald  is doing?" Hikari sternly asked.

"Well, yeah! I wanna see if Cousin Emerald has a fighting chance!"

"What a town." Sylvia said sarcastically.

"Oh my - WHAT IN THE NAME OF ARCEUS IS -"

"While Merlina starts to rant, NO, I did not really pull it off, someone else did it for me." Scylla eventually replied as Merlina stared rambling about grounding her daughter for the next month.

Hikari gave a warning look to Kiui as she looked at the video. "Good news - or bad, I don't know - Emerald just froze half of the castle staff and the guards."

"Well, that explains why Merlina wants to ground her daughter." Sylvia remarked.

"I'm sooo going to tell everyone we meet how Emerald froze the castle." Kiui said in a smart-alec tone.

"Same, but it's going to be behind her -"

"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!" Both children shouted, watching as Emerald chained the two rulers to the wall.

"They're dead...They're gonna be dead..." Mango stared at what was happening.

Kiui asked, "Can someone call an ambulance for those mother fluffers?"

"On it!"

"Don't encourage them, Scylla."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Finally. She found them. Now they are going to pay.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"AAAAMAAARIIIS!" Hikari shouted. "Your granddaughter is about to execute some royalty!"

"Suddenly, I miss going on a mission." Amaris yawned. Heh, werewolves. "What is this about someone -" She stopped as she saw the footage, dropping her cup of hot chocolate. "What in the name of Dark Gaia -"

"What's happening up there?" Helena shouted from downstairs.

"Nothing, hun. Just don't come up here." Amaris replied.

"Too late." Helena appeared in her spider form. "You know me better than that, dear. Now - HOLY GARCIA, HOW DID THAT HAPPEN?!"

"Evolution and anger, right here." Kiui said, donning sunglasses from out of nowhere.

"And ignore Aunt Merlina, she's mad at Cousin Emerald -"

"Demetria, actually. You missed the part where she changed her name."

"DANG IT!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Let us go! We'll give you whatever you want, just please don't hurt us!" Glimmer and Dasher continuously begged.

Emerald - no, Demetria - had held icicles against the skin of the unicorns' chins. Demetria smirked. "Do you know why we're at a standstill right now?"

"Obviously not, so I'll explain. You may have known me by the name Emerald, but I go by Demetria now. You have wronged me in many ways -"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Mango and Kiui were eating popcorn as they watched intently, muttering to each other.

"What punishment do you think Demetria will give Dasher and Glimmer?" Kiui asked Mango.

Mango replied, "Well, knowing Demetria and how she's been using her powers, she could be planning a brutal and ice-cold death."

Kiui paled. "Then I'm glad that I'm not those two and I'm over here, otherwise I'd be screwed for life."

(P.S.: Spoiler Alert: Oh, Kiui, you were very, very, VERY wrong to be glad that you weren't there, because after this incident, Demetria does accidentally freeze people.)

Amaris finished processing what was going on as she finally muttered, "Holy crap, she's a powerful cyrokinetic."

Helena nudged Amaris, chuckling as she said, "Of course, dear. It just means Demetria is more powerful than others."

Merlina muttered, "That's not a good thing, especially for right now."

Sylvia said, "Well, that sucks for me, because I CAN FEEL MY NIECE'S ANGER FROM HERE!"

"OOOF, THAT SUCKS!" Kiui shouted, owning up to her title as the Annoying sister, earning herself a light slap from Hikari and a glare from Mango.

Hikari scolded, "Kiui Banana Mochisolar, you know better than that!"

The young Mercat grumbled, "I'm sorryyy."

"Your apology is accepted." Sylvia replied.

Scylla said, "Sorry to interrupt, but Demetria is done with her evil villain speech."

"HOLY -"

"ARCEUS, GIVE ME STRENGTH -"

"WOOHOO! -"

"LET'S GOO!"

"HECK YOU, SCYLLA -"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"And now, you shall be punished." Demetria finished, an evil glint in her eyes. Glimmer was the first to break the chains, creating a shield around the two unicorns.

"Save your energy, PESTS," Demetria growled. "You're only going to exhaust yourself." She used a large boost of energy to speed into and breaking the shield.

Hence causing her to pass out and create her downfall.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"NOOOOOOOOO!" Merlina, Mango, and Kiui shouted.

"Demetria, you HAD TO DO THAT -"

"To be fair, she just manifested -"

"I've got her." Scylla said, cutting off her connection to the call.

"Oooh boy. They're gonna be in a lot of trouble when they get back." Sylvia muttered as chaos ensues.

"That's it?" Maleficent shouted as her father checked for the other pages.

"Yeah, that seems to be it," Charlotte confirmed. "Now, where's Grandma?"

"Did you all enjoy the story? I worked vey hard on it." Creator said, leaning against the bedroom door.

"Yeah, and we want more! Where's the next chapter?" T said, raising a metaphorical eyebrow at her mother.

Creator broke into a nervous sweat. "Well, uh, you see -"

"Where is it, Creator?" Drow growled.

"IDON'THAVETHENEXTCHAPTERIT'SBEINGWRITTENBYYYYYYE!!!"

The Blizzard: Chapter 5

(Author's Note: An animatronic is going to appear in this chapter! Also, another short chapter.)

"I'm so glad that you found my slippers so quickly." The woman said thankfully. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome, and I'm glad that I was able to help." Demetria replied.

As the woman left, Sylvia rushed over, not caring about the water droplets dripping down her arms as she asked, "Did you really HAVE to chain me to the wall?"

Demetria snapped her head towards her aunt. "YOU WERE GOING TO MELT DOWN THOSE GLASS SLIPPERS!!!"

"Okay, fair, but YOU FROZE DOWN A CASTLE TWO MONTHS AGO!"

"NOONE STOPPED ME AT THE TIME, BUT I'M NOT RISKING THAT AGAIN!"

"She did WHAT?!" Nima gasped, making both Demetria and Sylvia flinch.

Of course Nima would be awake. Sylvia thought.

Demetria said, "It's nothing, it was an accident -"

"AN ACCIDENT? YOU COULD HAVE DIED!!" Nima burst out, wrapping her metallic hands around Demetria's wrists. "I don't really mean any harm. And if you needed magical knowledge, Nokomis and I will be here to guide you and be there beside you to destroy any enemies that come our way."

Demetria nodded as she mumbled, "Thank you..." She then turned around and ran out of the room.

The Blizzard: Chapter 4

(Author's Note: Short chapter again. It was worth it!)

"My glass shoes are miiiissiiiinnnng!" The woman on the phone sobbed, making Demetria's mood drop. The one day she was supposed to be hanging out with her aunt has been interrupted and hands-down ruined by this one customer. But fake it 'till you make it, right?

So Demetria faked a cheery voice as she replied, "Ma'am, we're a hotel, not a detective agency. If you're not booking a reservation, please look for someone else."

"B-b-but I asked all the other detective agencies in town b-b-but they w-w-wouldn't heeeeeelp!" the wailed, nearly bursting Demetria's eardrum.

In a desperate attempt to save both her eardrums and her sanity, Demetria finally said, "Fine! Fine, we'll help you, just pleease stop whining like you're a bull calf!"

"Thank you! I'll be right over!" The woman said, hanging up quickly.

"Who was that?" Sylvia asked as she came into the office. "I can feel your annoyance from the pool."

"Some woman kept screaming about her glass slippers being missing, so I told her that I could help." Demetria replied. Sylvia's face paled. Demetria sighed and asked, "What did you do? Did you steal those shoes?"

"Ididn'tdonothingIgottagobye!" Sylvia ran.

"HEY! RETURN THOSE SHOES RIGHT NOW OR-"

The Blizzard: Chapter 3

(Author's Note: Now we get to see what Demetria's mother thinks about this! Hehehe...)

Demetria woke up to the sound of arguing.

"No, she's an adult now. Demetria doesn't need to go school now that she's at the age of nineteen!"

"Well, clearly she needs a way to rein in her powers; they're already out of control! We saw what happened with the castle, and she was barely able to take back control over the blizzard, but even then, your daughter passed out from using her powers on her own. She needs help."

Demetria groaned. "Will both of you PLEASE shut up!?" she shouted, startling the the two out of their argument.

"You know what? That was a fair reaction, and I'm sorry that we were too loud." Merlina acknowledged, making Scylla snort in amusement.

"Funny, but I gotta go. Have fun, you two!" Scylla said, teleporting away before anyone had the chance to reply.

Mother and daughter proceeded to have a staring contest. It was a serious business. Merlina hissed, "You left without telling anyone what you were doing or where you were."

Demetria growled. "Scylla knew!"

"But she's unpredictable, and you knew that!"

"So you're saying you don't have faith in me or Scylla, is that it?" Demetria jabbed.

Merlina remembered conversations like this before,  where she and her daughter argued about the lone missions Sylvia, Hikari, and their parents agreed on sending Demetria on. Merlina sighed. "You're not ready to face the world with your ice powers spiraling out of control like this."

Demetria narrowed her eyes at this, looking distinctively like she was when her powers first manifested, almost destroying an empire in her awakening.

Merlina whispered, "Little Ice Queen, please trust me when I say this; the more you keep trying to tame your powers, the more they're not going to listen. Rest yourself a bit, PLEASE." Merlina's thoughts pleaded to Demetria that she would listen.

Which Demetria did, softening at her mother's upset expression. Demetria would do anything for her mom when she got like this. Demetria sighed. "Fine, but just for today."

Merlina smiled. "Thank you."

The Blizzard: Chapter 2

(Author's Note: Sorry that this chapter is short, guys! The next chapter will be longer, I promise!)

"YOU SURE THIS IS GOING TO WORK?!" Demetria shouted as she started summoning every last bit of her concentration.

"FOCUS ON THE TASK!" Scylla shouted back, fighting the ice yeti.

Right. Trust the plan. Demetria turned around and held out her hands, closing her eyes and imagining that the storm disperses. That only made it worse.

Scylla yelped as the yeti grew bigger. "DEMETRIA!"

"I'M TRYING!" Demetria whined.

"THEN DON'T FORGET TO BELIEVE IN YOURSELF!"

Demetria started to gather her beliefs in fighting for justice, since it was feels more natural to do so than believe in herself. Eventually, the blizzard eased up to the point where the sun was visible once more. The ice yeti melted, releasing shrieks that would sound ridiculous if it didn't hurt Scylla and Demetria's ears.

"Thank god that it's over!" Demetria gasped, her vision quickly dimming.

"So, you're thanking me?" Scylla joked, yelping as she tried to walk towards the Froster. Nonetheless, Scylla made it just in time to catch Demetria as she fell unconscious.

The Blizzard: Chapter 1

(Author's Note: This chapter mentions murder. Please be forewarned. Thank you!)

"Hey, Scylla?" Demetria called out, stumbling into the now-not-so-abandoned warehouse and swiftly slamming the door closed. "I-I kinda...uh, made a blizzard." She looked around. Sure, asking for help from the literal godlike demon and former clan leader was not exactly a good idea, but it was better than trying to disperse the -360 degree weather outside by herself.

Demetria heard the woman laugh from above as Scylla Raven landed behind the young adult. Scylla said lightly, "I thought you were with that unicorn."

"The biàn tài and his equally bèn dàn sister kicked me out!" Demetria protested, her face reddening in the humiliation the memory brought back for her.

"After the stunt you pulled? They don't have any taste in strong people like us." Scylla hummed. "It's astonishing how a tasteless family managed to acquire an empire."

Apparently by using brute force and manipulation. Demetria thought. She sighed, hanging her head a little . After all, it was her fault that she "accidentally" froze down an entire castle.

Scylla noticed the glum look in the young Froster's eyes. Wanting to be at least a little comforting, the demon sets her hand on Demetria's shoulder and said, "Hey, you just hit the not-so-normal stage; of course you couldn't control all that ice everyday all the time. I've felt - heck, I DID the same thing."

"As if that makes me feel any better." Demetria grumbled.

"I'm serious. Even I had trouble learning how to control that much power. You're doing great."

What about the blizzard? I'm CLEARLY doing a bad job. Demetria pushed that thought away, saving those thoughts for when she's alone. Heaving a sigh, she forced herself to mutter, "I guess I am great at making snowballs appear out of thin air."

Scylla raised a eyebrow at the lesser attitude, but still smiled nonetheless. "Great! Now that that's happened, how about we go deal with the snowstorm outside?" Scylla asked excitedly, clapping her hands together.

"You're planning to execute my ex, aren't you?" Demetria accurately guessed, earning herself a light pat on the head.

"Yep, can't let the brat get away with what he's doing." Scylla replied.

"Euugh, let's just get this over with - and no killing!" Demetria quickly added.

"Semi-lethal, then?" Scylla pleaded.

"No."

"You wound me."
