Make Waves In Rain Ford City Part 2

Lilly waited for the signal. She stood at the gate that was tightly shut, waiting for her chance to sneak in. And she did not need to wait long. A large pillar of ice suddenly appeared and shot towards one of the guards, slamming him into the wall. A loud bang was heard that shook the sky as the guard and ice crashed into the city wall.

“What!?” The other guards were all shaken. But this only lasted a second when one yelled out. “Attack! We are under attack!”

The sounds of bells began going off around the city. The gates slowly opened to allow soldiers to make their way out of the city to fight off the attackers. This was when Lilly made her move. Her small yet light body quickly slipped in between a few of the soldiers and entered the city. She did not dare stick around on the main road and quickly headed to a side alley. 

“Princess, follow my root. It will lead you to the prison.” Juna’s voice was very low to the point that only Lilly could hear it, even if she was standing near someone. Lilly did not say anything and only nodded to the root in front of her. She did not dare speak at this time. She did not want to alert anyone who might be nearby. 

Outside the city, Desaray slowly walked up towards the city entrance. “By the name of the Holy Kingdom of Serenity, I ask you to stand down.”

“Who are you!? Why did you attack us!?” One of the soldiers asked. He was the captain of the squad who had rushed out of the gate. He did not know who this woman was, but he knew she was very powerful.

“I attacked? Do you have proof? I think that guard got in the way of my ice pillar.” Desaray looked at the captain with a confused expression. The captain also looked very confused. He did not understand how a soldier standing in place was in the way of an ice pillar. The biggest question of the day was why did an ice pillar suddenly shoot toward their city! “I was only taking my ice pillar for a walk. It then decided to run off. I am here to catch it.”

“You… Do think I am….” The captain was about to ask if the woman thought he was stupid when the ice pillar suddenly bent in a strange way as if looking at the woman before the back half of it began shaking like a tail. It then turned and charged at the woman, shrinking in size while playfuly jumping around the woman.

“Pillar, you need to relax. Come lay down. Look, you smashed some innocent man.” Desaray pointed at the soldier who was stuck in the wall. She even gave it a light tap on the back as if to punish it. 

    “This…” the captain did not know what to make of this. He had never seen such a creature before. He did not know when ice pillars gained life! Of course, there was no such thing as living ice pillars. This was Hina messing around, making the ice pillar act like a dog. As an ice fairy, she could do many things with ice, including making it look alive.

“Hmmm? What was that? These men usurped the throne?” Desaray reeled back as she turned to look at the captain in shock and disgust. “To think you would do such a thing!”

“We did not!” The captain did not know why, but he began to panic. He did not wish to get on this woman’s bad side!

“What is going on here!?” A sultry voice fell over everyone. Desaray looked up to see a fox woman in a red dress standing on top of the wall.

“Hmmm? Sorry about that. But your wall and guards got in the way of my ice pillar.” Desaray narrowed her eyes at the woman and quietly appraised her. 

[Name]: Rosemary
[Race]: Foxkin
[Age]: 89
[Level]: 120

Desaray raised an eyebrow. Eighty nine years old and still looked twenty. She was very lucky. Rosemary did not find Desaray to be funny at all. She felt danger looking at the ice dragon. “What is a dragon doing here? This is beastkin territory.”

“Heh…. I am sorry to say, but these lands do not belong to you. And where I go is not something you should care about. What I want to know is, are you the one who usurped the throne?” Desaray knew Lilly was already at the dungeon and was sneaking down so she did not mind asking this question. From the looks of it, the guards were only level 40. They did not pose a risk to her daughter.

“Me? I have no use for such a thing. As long as I get to live lazily, I do not care what happens.” Rosemary came to an understanding. This ice woman was here for Regan and the others who were vying for rule over the city.

“I see. Then I guess you wouldn’t mind if I went and took care of the idiot who did then, right? I made a promise to help my allies when they were in trouble, and if someone rebels, then…” Desaray took another step forward. At the same time, Juna appeared with another person in tow.

“Hmmm… So Sir Harland was with you. It seems the old owl will not be having his wish come true. I will step down. I have no wish to fight. I just want to live peacefully, that is all… Is what I would like to say, but….. Only strength talks.”
