Setting
She would wait for echo and Abe to get on her back to leave, she was most definitely going to give snow a piece of her mind for sure. As she knew echo was as well.
Abe would get the neck/mind control collar for his neck and would then walk over to Dia "Don't be to mad at her, the thought she was doing the right thing." Abe said to Dia and loud enough for echo to hear.
Rubi would nod at Luto. "yea, but I just hope she will be alright. Because I do believe her but its manning who has a hard time. But hes also the one who really doesnt want snow to go out and fight. He made a promise to Professor Broom and Hellboy that nothing bad would happen to her. He feels like he hasnt kept that promise up to par, But he has. Shes strong because he was hard on her and because he kept her training up" Rubi said
Looking at Abe for a second, Echo cleared her throat, "You know he isn't coming back, right? Hellboy that is. He's from an age that is ending. You are the future. Mr. Progenitor. The Vril you carry will inherit the Earth..." Then, as if she said nothing, Echo returned to working don't the herbs. Her demeanor made it clear she had nothing more to say on the matter.
After many hours, Dia saw land she would gently set the golem down and would for the portal left behind by snow when they exited when snow fought the boar beast. "Here, we can get in this way. " Dia said standing over the portal and was gone in a flash of ice, Abe then stepped on it and was to sent to where Dia was. "The chamber of the golden army." He said remembering. He then ran over to Nuala and sighed softly a tear coming out. Abe sapien loved the princess, even though he had no way no of showing it he did truly love her.
As soon as Nuala was free from her icy suspension, the wound she had inflicted on herself began to gush and her life began to fade. With a swift motion, Echo stuck out her right index finger and plunged it into the wound, swirling it around for maximum pain. "Well Princess, you tried to end your life without my permission? Tsk tsk." After a few seconds she removed her finger from the wound and slapped the poultice onto it. Immediately the bleeding stopped and color returned to Nuala's face. "And with that, the Prince is also saved."
Nuala's eyes widened in shock as she realized who had revived her, "Teacher! It's been too long." As soon as Echo freed Nuada from the Ice, he dropped to one knee, his eyes trained solely on the ground. His voice snarled out, "I have failed you Scathach."
Echo looked down her nose at Nuada with a yawn and reminded him, "And you'll fail me hundreds more times before I let you die. You are tools to be disposed of when I choose. Not a moment sooner." She could see the pale white of Nuada's face flush bright red as she chastised him. "Now stand up, we have a war to make. What of the Golden Army?"
Nuada frowned, "Without the crown, they're worthless."
Raising an eyebrow, Echo sighed, "It seems I failed in your education." Standing in front of the Golden Army, Echo put her hands on her hips and cast a spell. Three seconds passed then five of the soldiers marched forward and saluted Echo. She had hoped for at least ten but, "Beggars cant be choosers."
Abe would walk over to Nuala waiting for his turn to speak after she was done speaking to echo. Abe was happy she was back.
Snow would climb the tree and sit up top looking out as she would close her eyes and sang a song her mother sang to her when she was just a baby. She wanted to go back to avalon.
Echo gave them a minute then turned back towards the twins, "We are short on time, come." Nuala and Nuada stood up and followed Echo out of the portal and back into Ireland. Nuada looked at the sky, "So Hell has come?"
Looking at Nuada, Echo's gaze told him to shut up. She turned towards Snow, "Where to next Princess?"
Nuala smiled at Snow, if things had been different they probably would have played together when Snow was but a child. However things weren't different, and Nuala and Nuada had grown up in a time of war.
Dia would look at the prince nuada and snorted. "This is the one from the stories you read and told me about. I would think he would look more regal" Dia said and snow held in a chuckle. "Dia be nice, he's been frozen for some time, it will come back to him. Besides he's the best fighter we have." Snow said and Dia went to disagree when Abe stopped her "Snow is right. Yes snow is strong but the prince is stronger then her." Abe said. Dia looked confused. "But she's an elf." Dia said. "Half elf Dia. My father was human, my mother was am elf. I am strong but the prince being full elf wouldn't likely best me due to him being a full elf and having more experience then me" Snow said and would pat Dia gently.
The twins blushed as their teacher complimented them, Nuada spoke first, "You flatter us teacher, but you would definitely win a bout between us." Then Nuala spoke, "Shut up Nuada. Scathach is doting."
Echo looked at Nuala and felt an intense rush of pride, "How I missed you two." Turning towards Snow, Echo gestured, "This is your cousin. Princess Snow. I gave her the Gae Bolg in your absence."
Nuada's face grew red with rage and he almost lost his composure, but Echo's chiding hand on his shoulder calmed him. "I never did learn how to use it.... Did I?"
Echo frowned, "You did not. Snow will outgrow you, given time."
"True but I still wanted to help, even if I got hurt." She said and then would sigh softly." We got a ot of training to do before we can fully close those gates, but we can at least close the rifts opening up" Snow said to them.
"And maybe I can get some stories about my mom" she said and would climb on Dia.
Echo sat on Dia's back for a few minutes before she spoke again, "If you hadn't been left with the Bureau... I would've been your teacher, Snow. I'm just glad that I can rectify that mistake. "
Dia would chuckle as well as they flew. She saw more dragons around them as she went higher. Snow touched a cloud and saw a dragon poke its head out and then fly away. "Since we won't get to do this for a while. How about some fun?" Snow said looking at echo. "Does the prince know what fun is besides training all the time?" Snow asked in a curious manner.
Smiling, Echo tucked her feet into Dia's saddle and stood up, "This is why you cant use the Gae Bolg, Nuada. Being part of the Daoine requires you to let loose!" Prince Nuada scowled at his teacher, she was right, of course. That didn't make her chiding any less hurtful though.
"That Is a wild dragon snow be careful" Abe said worrying about his little sister and snow chuckled. "Most dragons are actually ok with elves Abe. They know I won't hurt them." Snow said to Abe as she would smile and laugh as the dragon would do tricks with her on its back.
"Maybe you should let loose prince nuada as snow is. I mean it might be good" Abe said with nervousness in his voice.
