Aksel who up until now had been too preoccupied to do so finally found the time to drop by the dungeons, as the eldest son it was imperative that he never slacked in his training for any reason if he was to one day challenge his father for the throne, he knew now was far too soon for the Inferno King's power was still far greater than his. By the time he reached the door to the chamber which the ice princess was said to have been held prisoner he knew immediately that something was amiss, when he touched the handle it was ice cold as if the room behind the door had been turned into a meat locker
' Oh Ulmo, don't tell me that with all that power you managed to be overcome by a woman on your own homeland ' he thought to himself, he was somewhat not surprised by it seeing as most of his combat training happened under the tutelage of average soldiers while he himself had been training from birth to wield his power as a master would. Before opening the door he held his arms out in front of him with his palms down, with a large intake of breath he brought his hands palms in towards over stomach and exhaled slowly as he slowly brought his palms up until they were at his chest pointed up to his chin. He could feel the flames within building in his chest and his whole body began to heat up, he was now prepared for the possible confrontation that waited for him beyond the door, he turned the handle and pushed in the door to find the prisoner princess and the base of the stairs dragging a seemingly lifeless body while Ulmo mealy stood there.
The whole room was filled with snow which probably meant he had been defeated, perhaps he was too weak now to stop her
' foolish younger brother ' he thought, to be defeated even while he held all the cards, her head was tearned towards Ulmo so he was just about to announce himself and the fact that her attempts at escape were at an end, that is until he heard her say the words
"You coming Ulmo?" He almost laughed, was she attempting to take him prisoner now, it was an amusing thought until he saw the look on Ulmo's face ' Wait, he's not at all injured, how did she.." and in that moment it all clicked, she hadn't forced her way out at all, he was allowing her to escape! Rage began to build in him but he knew better than to go immediately on the offensive seeing as if he was correct it would be two against one, he had the high ground and the entrance blocked off so he had at least that advantage.
" I had heard father trusted you to keep our bargaining chip well in her place, do not tell me you are betraying that trust brother " He said through clenched teeth, his fist clenched as their necks snapped in surprise, though his expression was a facade of calmness his body language alone made would make it all too clear that he was ready to ready to leave her and his "brother' as shriveled black corpses.
