Your Not So Ordinary Villain

Moonvale has the brightest nights among the towns in Lunaira thus it was named such. And that night, the moon was particularly glowing with a silvery glow thus the ice barrier was particularly attention grabbing because it was glittering in the darkness.

Some people who were still awake that night were in awe of the particularly beautiful image it created. They did not know that within that barrier, a fierce fight was happening.

While they were still mesmerized, the ice suddenly shattered into sharp pieces that pierced the ground and some of the houses and buildings within a twenty meter radius.

Several icicles appeared in the air which flew towards the blue clad person. Yet they easily dodged and melted the icicles that were sent their way. But Arean did not stop there, once her enemy landed on the area she wanted, claw like ice appeared from the ground and engulfed the enemy.

She did not waste time and created another ice claw that came from above and enclosed the first ice claw she made. Arean walked like she had won the battle towards the frozen enemy and gave them a smirk.

"Going as far as copying me, who told you to do that?" She asked yet her surroundings remained silent. "Ah yes, I forgot, you are frozen in there and must be losing your breathe now."

She laughed like a maniac at the satisfaction she felt from her own words. She tapped the ice to mock the person who can't get out and when she made sure that the other was not moving she turned around to leave. She decided to leave the ice like that just to make sure of her kill.

Arean had her hands behind her back and while she skipped away from the battle. She was thoroughly satisfied and she stopped. She turned around and defended from a roaring fire that was trying to devour her.

She created a dome of ice around her but the fire has a life of it's own, as it surrounded and slowly melted the protective dome. Arean did not hesitate to reinforce her dome from the inside. She then stomped her foot and created a wider magic circle below her which created an ice claw outside of the dome. The claw managed to stop the flames that were going to devour her.

Arean then hit the dome with her right palm and it cracked then evaporated it in the air. She stared at the person who was looking at her.

"You are too full of yourself, Grand Mage from the tower." The voice was deep and raspy, nothing like she had ever heard before.

"Who are you? And why are you doing this?" Arean asked, her fists were ready to attack anytime.

"You don't have to know," the person simply answered.

Arean could not even identity if the person was a man or a woman, but that doesn't really matter to her. "Then I'll force the answer from you!"

She launched herself into the air and with her fists covered in a blue magic circle, she punched the person. Arean finally engaged in a close combat battle and every punch she released froze the air and even froze the enemy's cloak. The mysterious person also started to attack and defended against the ice magic.

They were like faeries dancing under the moonlight. The sparks and lines created by both fire and ice made the scene magical when in truth it was a deadly battle. Blue and oranged crossed paths and with the moonlight's glow the streaks of color glistened, this beautiful scene will be recorded in the Moonvale history as an enchanting phenomenon that will never repeat itself.

Arean can't believe that her enemy was able to parry all of her attacks and she was even being pushed back. She tried to continue and defend herself but the longer they exchanged attacks the more difficult it was for her to recover.

The mysterious person noticed that Arean's movements slowed down so they took that chance to sneak an attack. They saw that the woman was going for a punch aimed at their upper body so they ducked and covered both of their hands with flame.

They stretched back their hands pushed forward then both palms collided with Arean's chest and stomach. The force from the palm and the fire magic sent Arean flying then she hit the wall of a particularly tall building.

Arean laid on her back at the room where she landed and when she sat up, blood came out gushing from her mouth. She stared with wide eyes at the blood on her hand, she could not believe that someone was able to injure her.

"You'll pay for this!" She shouted in anger. The woman leapt to her feat and in the blink of an eye, hundreds of icicles were already aiming at her enemy. "You dare injure me! I'll let you taste my power when I'm angry!"

Several ice spears also appeared around the blue cloaked enemy, there were even magic circles in every direction so that they can't escape but they remained calm. Without regards to her surrounding, she launched a wide ranged attack that was focused on her enemy.

A grin appeared on the enemy's face, "Too naive." Before the attacks could reach her, she already summoned a set of her own icicles that collided with Arean's.

After they saw that the icicles broke, a red magic circle appeared above her and at her summon, shooting stars of fire appeared from the circle. The attack did not target anything in particular and was scattered but the effect was still desirable.

The glow of the moon was suddenly changed with the glow of fire, as flames slowly ate through the houses and buildings that were made of wood. The panicked screams from the people also filled the silent night, it was pure chaos.

Arean looked at the destruction, she could already feel her heart pounding fast. This was not because of her, it was her impersonator. She lifted her head to look at her enemy but they were nowhere to be found.

"Grand Mage Area, what do you think you're doing?" The angry words brought her back to her senses. She looked behind her only to come face to face with Alastor's rage filled eyes.

"I, that's not my fault, it was my impersonator!" She tried to defend herself but Alastor did not believe her. Even Meliore was a bit shocked at Arean's actions.

"Not you? Then what the heck are those?" Alastor pointed at the shards of ice that was scattered around the area and the obvious traces of fight.

"No! That person can use the same magic as me and they can even use fire magic! I really, this was not my intention! I was just going to capture them." She explained angrily because they seemed to not believe her. These people were really dumb to even believe that she could do this kind of destruction by herself.

"Enough of that, let's just help them stop the fire first," Meliore turned around then she floated up and mumbled a spell that gathered rain clouds. The fire was successfully stopped but Arean's fate wasn't that clear.
