Arpious of the Planes

I slowly walk over to Amanda, who pats the snow next to her, signaling for me to sit down.

"About what you said… Are you sure the demons planned this?"

"I don't know," I sigh as I lean my head on her shoulder.

"She still hasn't forgiven you?"

"No…"

"Well, that's what you get for not being confident enough,"

"I am confident though,"

"Yes, you are very confident. No, I'd say you're arrogant when it comes to politics, work, and fighting… but when it comes to somebody you like, you completely lose all sense of reasoning… I wonder how your wives ended up coming to like you," Amanda says as she rubs my back.

"I… It might be because I saved them… So, that might mean they only married me out of admiration for me… I'm such a terrible person,"

"No, I don't think so,"

"What do you mean?"

"Well, judging from the stories you've told me, it's clear to see that they do love you very much and have guided you through some tough times… So just be confident and make sure you always give your spouse what they want,"

"I know…" I reply as I glance back at Loni, training with a few of her friends.

…

After another long day of traveling, we finally arrived at the meeting spot, which was a small, run-down castle built in a large indent in the ground.

And surrounding the top of the ident were massive trees made entirely from ice.

"Everyone, gather yourselves and never let your guard down. Who knows what could happen once we enter this place," Amanda says before we walk down a staircase made of ice that circled all the way down the indent.

As soon as we reached the bottom, a guard stepped down onto the snow first before quickly jumping back.

FWOOSH

The snow under the castle, covering the bottom of the indent, had fallen downwards, revealing a massive cavern underneath the castle… which was floating in the air.

Krkkkkk

But, nobody was surprised by this as Amanda created a bridge of ice that let us travel across the cavern and into the stone, run-down castle.

It was completely hollow on the inside, and the only thing present were a few blue vines, snow, ice, and a large stone table with at least 40 people already surrounding it.

Well, three people were sitting down at the table, and the rest were just standing behind them, glaring at us as we entered the room.

Krkkkk

Amanda's stone chair was suddenly covered in ice as soon as she sat down onto it, forming it into a large throne.

"Now… Shall we start?" Amanda announces as the idle chatter suddenly stops.

The whistling of a blowing breeze sweeps through the room as a king on the other side of the table speaks up.

"Why isn't your husband here?" A man with a light blue lizard head asks.

The present kingdoms here were: The Kingdom of Frost Moths, The Kingdom of Frost Drakes, and The Kingdom of Frost Bunnies.

Each species looked unique as the frost drakes looked like blue lizardmen with a few more horns, and the frost bunny's literally looked like bunny's, which had been shaped into a humanoid form.

Their ears were also encrusted with what seemed to be a natural blue gem that sparkled in the tiny amount of sunlight.

"Why isn't he here? Well, that's because he has a kingdom to run," Amanda says with an arrogant tone.

This was the first time I'd seen her act high and mighty, and it was a bit weird as her eyes were ice cold.

Even when I whispered to her she just gave me a cold glance before returning her gaze to the two kings in front of her.

"Are you insulting m-"

Suddenly the frost drake king was cut off by the frost bunny king.

"Stop! We need to figure out the current situation otherwise, everybody will end up dead… and you won't have the time to pay her back for her insult,"

He was smarter than the frost drake king, who looked more like the warrior type rather than the politician type.

Krkkkkk

Suddenly, the frost bunny's chair was formed into a throne of snow, and the frost drake's chair was formed into a throne of blue dragon scales and horns.

"Anyway, let's continue… The demons," Amanda said, and I could visibly hear everybody in the room gulp down a large drop of saliva.

"Yes… Demons have invaded our plane for some reason… but from the look on your face, I assume you already know something," The frost bunny king says as he glares at the frost drake king.

"*sigh*... Yes, it must be the Ancient Frost,"

"And what is that, may you add?" Amanda asks.

"It is a powerful substance that grants you the second authority overall ice and snow,"

The air in the room suddenly shifted, and gravity seemed to get ten times heavier as everybody began to sweat bullets.

"How come we don't know of such a thing?" The frost bunny king asks.

"Because it is something created by our ancestors,"

"Then what is the purpose of this… 'Ancient Frost'?" Amanda asks, but the frost drake just scowls at everybody in the room.

"Can you not say? Is it really so important that you can risk killing the entire plane?" The bunny asks, and even though his words seem polite, his face displays pure rage.

"Tch… I better be compensated because talking about it is normally taboo,"

Oh… I guess there is a reason why he must be king. He actually managed to set away his overwhelming pride in order to think about the safety of his people… I underestimated him.

"You will be as I also have some taboo things to keep secret about our race," The bunny king says, but it seems he got a bit too comfortable as the drake king smiled slightly.

Ah, he fell for his bait… This guy is much better than I thought.

"Then, how about we exchange something of equal value… So you tell one taboo thing about your race, and I'll say the thing we all need to survive,"

"YOU DARE!" The bunny shouts a blast of white aura exploding from his body.

"I DO DARE! I COULD KEEP MY RACE ALIVE WITH JUST THIS PIECE OF INFORMATION, SO IT WOULD BE BEST IF YOU SAID IT QUICKLY!" The drake king shouted back, releasing a dark blue aura from his body.

"We all know that's a lie," Amanda suddenly speaks up.

The bunny king and drake king glared at her for different reasons.

The bunny king had been embarrassed because he never thought of that, and as the proposer of this idea, he almost made a rash decision.

The drake king, on the other hand, just had his plans ruined… simple as that.

"Tch… Fine…" The bunny king gives in, and they both sit down calmly.

"You go first," The drake king says, and as the bunny king wasn't stupid, he complied.

"The frost bunny's have a treasure that unlocks our next evolution for a few minutes,"

"Oh, very nice. Now, you go next," Amanda says as she glances at the drake king, who grits his teeth in anger.

"The 'Ancient Frost' is an item that we were supposed to be able to wield in order to oppress every other race on this plane… But… Tch… But we haven't been able to wield it as every person who we thought was 'worthy' ended up dying a tragic and painful death," The drake king explains.

"How interesting… But the authority thing doesn't make sense. I'm sure the demons have first-degree authority with the frost demon queen, so why would they ever want that? The difference between the two is light and day anyway, so giving it to a commander is useless," Amanda mutters.

"Wait, you have to say something as well. You aren't exempt from anything," The frost bunny king announces but instead of seeming disappointed, Amanda smiled before glancing up at me with cold eyes.

Cold eyes but a wide smile… creepy.

"This woman right here is our secret weapon, and if she wants… she can destroy the plane," Amanda announces, and uproar immediately sets off within the castle.

"QUIET!" The drake king and bunny king say in unison.

Unsurprisingly, everybody immediately shuts up.

"Is she working with the demons? Because from her appearance, she seems to be on their side," The bunny king asks.

"Hey, you," I say before Amanda can speak up.

Amanda immediately glared at me, but I felt an unquellable rage bubble from within me.

"Keep your servants under control… Queen of the Frost Moths," The bunny king says as she glances at me with cold eyes.

"Before you assume something… I'm not working with the demons. There are scars on my back and chest because of them… Even my regeneration and healing couldn't help me completely recover,"

"That's strange… Shouldn't a secret weapon be able to fend for themselves against a single demon?" The drake king asks with a smile.

My eyes grow cold, and my overwhelming black and white bloodlust explode from my body.

"Those fuckers brought a commander… and of course that pests demonic fire caused permanent scars," I say, my eyes glowing a dark yellow and gray color.
