With a quick twirl an twist around his foot the ball end of the meteor hammer was launched at me with high speed made even faster by a jet of water
Forming a few wires into a wall the attack was blocked twisting two wires together around my finger I flicked it sending those wires towards the prince with a sharp whistle barley reacting as the ball expelled an aoe of water disrupting my wires for a moment
Tilting his head the wire sailed past him leave only a scratch on his cheek " this may be more fun the i originally thought."

" you shouldn't worry so much he gave us these new weapons for a reason and our troops are right there hidden everything is under control."
" I'll go get our queen just in case." James moving to do just that activated his earpiece giving her a assessment of the situation
" thank you, at least he understands im not just worried about the new arrivals I'd rather not see our king go on a rampage again." James just shrugged his shoulders going back to watching the fight
' she was right why do I find him attractive.' Even though her thoughts were like this butterfly's were invading her still just by looking at him
' I need to get this over with soon.' As she continued to watch the fight she noticed movements from the corner of her eye
" princess you shouldn't be here." The ground beside her split apart reveal a little girl with pink scales and wings with a little rock lizard on her shoulder " you never let me have fun, im not hurting anyone I just want to watch the fight."
" fine stay hidden incase something happens." Smiling the ground closed back up as she continued being hidden from the others " your the best auntie."
Shoing her away lazza turned her attention back to the fight

Getting hit i had to back up to my wires i had set all around him like a web using them to strengthen my attacks " your very good, im going to put everything i have in my next attack and if you defend against it let's say you win."
Getting his ok i closed my eyes focusing on everything and nothing around me ' let's see how far I got with this technique.' The sensation i was looking for finally hit me as I focused on pulling it closer to until it felt like a bow ready to snap
Opening my eyes again different version of me were now standing on the web along with me surrounding the prince,each one had different weapons and clothing on but somehow they all seemed strangely uniform
Additional around each of these other me's was an aura of rapidly shifting colors like something was struggling to keep them in a place they were not meant to be
Panic overtook the prince's for a moment finally breaking the calm lake that has been his face " you truly are a interesting human."
Like we all had a collective mind we all smiled and spoke as one "you dont even know the half of it.", the atmosphere grew intense as nothing happened until one of the other me's appeared behind him
But a water shield blocked his attack while the meteor hammer swung around the prince smashing into him when it did he puffed away in a mist of colorful smoke
This was the needle drop that broke the silence we all started attacking him using the webs to give us more speed
Surprisingly he managed to hold off the onslaught until i was back to being the only one left attacking, tasting my blood i knew I had about few attacks left
But he didn't know that making a show of it I started coughing up blood as I fell from my wire web on to the ground " I surrender!,win."
Frowning he began spinning his weapon before saying" dont take me for a fool you can still fight." using the momentum if the ball as it passed his foot he kicked it sending flying to my crotch
Reversing gravity i floated up just in time to avoid that attack
" enough!" Doing a Flip back up i stopped my counter attack hearing my wife's voice
I didn't even need to look at her to know the look in was getting from her " the answer to everything isn't always fighting!"
" it wasn't me this time,he wanted to" I pointed at the prince who had stopped fighting as well and was staring at Elise
" what reason do you have to fight my husband. "
" apologies, it's purely for my final right i had heard about his reputation and wished to fight him but found a different man compared to the horrors I have been told however I still needed to fight a strong opponent to complete my pilgrimage"
" i apologize to you as well i see i have gone to far you have given me a good fight to end my journey" he bowed towards me
" no worries happy to help out."
" still i would invite you to our capital as an apology." This made Elise's eyes go wide but I didn't see what was so special
" thank you that is a great honor may I ask who you are exactly." Elise switched her tone like she just flipped a coin
" ahh sorry im prince Aquinas its a pleasure to meet someone such as yourself." Gentle taking her hand he kissed the top like he was some medieval knight
" if i may I would like to talk to you about possible collaboration between our people if you would be interested."
With a fanged grin she hooked her arm around his " that would be wonderful come with me lets speak more in private." She spoke the last part a bit louder seeing me follow
' you really are a petty woman you know that.' Although she showed no reaction i knew she heard me
" umm...I'll have a look around town." Coming out of nowhere James slid beside her with his arm extended " allow me princess I know some nice places someone of your status could appreciate."
As they left i could feel the jealousy and annoyance radiate off lazza " dont say anything im already aware."
Closing my mouth if watched her leave in frustration
" come out Emily I can feel your there you have learned to hide you body from view but you haven't learned to hide what it produces." On cue the ground split as my daughter flew out of the hole she was in and into my arms
" its no fair your able to do that." Making my way out of the soldiers training area i smiled with Emily in my arms " maybe but you can do it too I'll teach you when we get home."
Carrying her to the castle I began teaching her how to sense someone's bio electricity as it passes through their body

" that won't be a problem our ships are able to traverse under the waters surface."
Inside Elise's office the prince and her were discussing a supply route for there people to travel
" that's good this will save our manpower for our other routes now onto a more urgent matter I wish to talk to you about." This peaked the prince's interest wishing her to speak her mind
" as you know my husband is a bit...special and I want to construct a facility that can contain him when he loses control, i don't want to be forced to end him."
Understanding their is more to this story wanted to know everything " im willing to help but I have to be aware of the whole truth not just the rumors that have spread, I won't put my people at risk."
" and i would never ask you to do that."the hours passed as Elise explained her husbands problem an what she wanted to do with his help " this will be a difficult undertaking the construction alone will be very difficult although my people have experience building underwater the depth and material you ask for makes it hard ti pull of we usually only use soft metals for our constructions."
" i understand but you get why we have to do it this way it's my best option to be able to contain him." Going silent Aquinas closed his eyes weighing the risks in his head
" ok I'll give you my support,do you have a location in mind." Nodding she brought out a map of the region an pointed at a location far off the coast " there are strong currents here correct."
" yes but if you need strong the strongest currents flow through here." He pointed towards to landmasses that have a narrow opening for water to pass through
" that won't work its to close to land being surrounded by water is preferable we can't give him anything to use against us." She shook her head as Aquinas looked back at the map
" then here it has the same landscape just deep underwater causing the same thing ."
" perfect. When you have your people together I'll send the required materials and a few of my rune Smiths to assist with the building process."
After going over a few more things about the facility Aquinas stood up with his hand held out to her " to a long and prosperous partnership. " repeating what he said she stood up shaking his hand as water created by both of them meet over top
