The child was possessed, her eyes pitch black as if it was soulless. For a few seconds, the frost mage stood there, staring at her eyes as dark and endless like an abyss until she recollected her posture. She would have preferred not to do the hard way, which was fighting her and forcing her to come with her, but it was deemed useless when the enemy didn’t hesitate to lunge at her from the chair. Thankfully, she reacted in time just to knock her to the side using the hilt of her sword. Her sword was still sheathed, for she knew that if she pulled it out of the scabbard, the flames would engulf the area and the child would be killed from the eternal flames. She just hoped she wouldn’t have to choose that option.
The child was hardly a human, she walked on all fours and her nails had grown long and durable, almost like an animal.
”Look, we can solve this a better way, I just want to talk.” She tried negotiating with the possessed child, as if it was going to do anything. It was then she knew she would have to take her by force. The child limped back onto her two legs, her body wobbling as she stood and shot out a beam of darkness from her palm.
Oh, so she wields darkness magic, she thought. Snowflake only had to tilt her head slightly to dodge the spell. She was getting impatient, tired of this unnecessary game and decided to take her down at that instant. She pushed herself forward, her feet kicking up a puff of dust and the enemy got down on all fours galloping towards her. In the midst of it, she tossed another spell of darkness magic at Snowflake, in which she quickly parried it with the scabbard of her weapon, her left hand raising till she brought it against the side of her neck to knock her out.
She heaved out an exasperated sigh, before lifting the unconscious child and placing it inside a large bag. Perhaps it might look slightly suspicious to the eyes of those around the place, but they spoke of no word as she held the duffel bag in her arms and returned to Gaud to inform of the completion of his request.
