《Collision of Myths》chaos in the kingdom
Advertisement
After the little outburst from their guest, the older Drakes decided that it would be best to discuss this matter with the royal family. The following day, Felix was sitting in a carriage with both his father and grandfather. The younger siblings stayed at home with Reyna watching them. Akeelah agreed to stop by and check up on them when she could get away from the kids, of course, Felix left out some of the details. Normally, it would be enjoyable for Felix to go back to the castle, but the passenger snoring softly behind him ruined the mood.
“ C'mon Felix, lighten up a little. You're normally jumping with joy to see queen Elena and her children again.”- Damian
“ How can I be happy when we're clearly bringing a weapon of mass destruction right to their door.”- Felix
He could still recall last night when the she-beast lunged for him. Even though he was caught unaware, his reaction speed was still top notch. When she came at him, he quickly sidestepped her and did a chop to the back of the neck, completely knocking her out. The relief was short-lived when Reyna decided to come back from an easy quest and saw the condition of the house.
“ If you didn't tell that maniac that she would lose her magic, I would've had to start sleeping with one eye open. And do you have any idea how much killing intent that Reyna kept throwing my way? I already know I'm in for a world of pain when I get back. Seriously, I may be a ladies man, but that woman always seems to push my wrong buttons. I still find it hard to believe she gave our ancestor such grief.”- Felix
“ Hey now Felix, you of all people should know that looks could be deceiving. If that seal wasn't in place, this country would've had two crisis to combat, and we can barely handle the one we already have.”- Nathan
“ And you think that it's a good idea to bring the bringer of death to our allies doorstep?- Felix
“ I know this seems out of place Felix, but we're pressed for time. The enemy has already made their move and are getting further ahead of us. If we have any chance of counteracting our current situation, then she may be that very key.”- Nathan
“ And the fact that she can't use her magic without your consent puts us in a positive position.”- Damian
“ …. Yeah still don't think it's worth it.”- Felix
Despite the fact that there was an unwanted passenger, the trip went really smoothly. Felix spent most of the trip contemplating on how quickly his plans veered off course. He was supposed to be finding clues of his missing brother to bring him back home, instead he's making fun time with his brother's enemy. The situation has spiraled completely out of his control, which probably made him more angry than the witch could. While this was going on in his head, the castle started to come into view. By this time, Alicia was already awake and up to speed on what was going on. They entered the castle and requested an immediate meeting with her majesty. Felix and Alicia were left to wait in one of the chambers while the older Drakes made their way to the council room.
“ What, that witch that Alex Drake fought is still alive?”- Elena
“ I'm afraid so queen Elena. It turns out the seal that kept her was hidden right in our village.”- Damian

“ Impossible” “ So the hero sealed her” “ Will she take her anger out on us all” - council members
“ You needn't worry Elena, Alex placed the reaper seal onto Alicia, so the magus can't use magic without permission from the host, which happens to be my grandson Felix.”- Nathan
“ Felix! But Nathan, if what you said is true, then he'll be at the mercy of the witch.”- Elena
“ Not entirely Elena. As you know Felix is capable of taking care of himself, and since this is him we're talking about, we may be able to use her to even our odds with Sylvania.”- Nathan
“ Nathan, we still don't know the goal of Sylvania to even reach that point. That's mainly why I decided to talk to their ambassador and discuss the issue.”- Elena
“ I see then guess we should wait and see how the discussion goes before taking immediate action. When do we expect this ambassador to arrive?”- Nathan
“ He's already here. I delayed a little just so I could talk to you.”- Elena
While that conversation was going on, Felix was trying to do everything he could to stop Alicia from drawing attention to themselves.
“ Argh, I can't stand this anymore. I've been waiting around in this chamber forever, they dare to keep me waiting?”- Alicia
“ Stop being so overdramatic. It hasn't even been 10 minutes yet.”- Felix
“ I'm the queen of all mana, they should be throwing out a red carpet and have themselves bow before me.”- Alicia
“ The only thing they're going to do if you keep that up is plan your execution, now just be patient.”- Felix
“ Hey, big brother Felix, it's good to see you”- multiple voices
“ Oh hey Lisa, Lucas. It's good to see you two growing up so nicely.” - Felix
Who appeared before the two were the children of Felix and Elena. Lisa's looks resembled her mother with only the eyes resembling his. Lucas looked like his father but with light brown eyes. Felix only knew he had a child with Elena when he had a child with Akeelah. Felix didn't even know about Lisa till she was at least two years old. When Elena revealed her to him, he knew he wouldn't be able to tell the truth, but he decides to still be apart of her life. This was soon followed by to Lucas being born too. He made sure to give them as much love as possible as well as arming them so they could handle anything.
“ Hey big brother who's this older lady. Is she a friend of yours.”- Lucas
“ Excuse me, who are you calling old?”- Alicia
“ Hey big brother, she's not your lover or anything right? You know my big sisters will ball their eyes out.”- Lisa
“ Don't worry, she's too much to handle. Besides, she'll be lucky if I even look her way.”- Felix
“ Just what are you filling their heads with?”- Alicia
“ So we're your other sisters?”- Felix
“ Oh they're out on a guild quest while mommy gets ready for her talk.”- Lucas
“ Talk with who?”- Felix
Before either of the siblings could respond, a loud rumble shook the castle followed by a terrifying roar. Felix was able to recover from the shock but, the kids were scared stiff. Alicia was knocked off from where she was sitting.
“ Big brother, what’s going on?” - Lisa

“I’m scared”- Lucas
It’s alright. Just get to your mother, I’ll see what’s going on. Alicia you come to.”- Felix
“What. Why should I?”- Alicia
“ You'd rather stay behind and watch them?”- Felix
“ Nevermind, I'll stick with you.”- Alicia
“ Good call.”- Felix
With that settled, they proceeded to the location of the explosion. They made their way through the corridor when the wall blew up right in front of them. What they saw on the other side was a giant creature composed of of thick scales and a reptilian thick face. In front of the beast is a man with light brown hair and thick eyebrows.
“ You fools! You dare to keep me waiting! You clearly don't put me or my kingdom in eyes! Do think I'll stand for such ignorance? Face the wrath of my demon!”- ambassador
He then made the demon's rampage throughout the chamber, taking out every guard that crossed it's vision. Everyone attack it unleashed caused the castle to tremor. As the demon unleashed another attack, it was apprehended by a sword wave.
“ What, what happened.”- ambassador
“ You've got some nerve summoning an underworld beast here ambassador. For you to pull such a stunt like this symbolises a declaration of war. Are you seriously prepared to face the consequences of your actions.”- Damian
“ HAHAHA, consequences? Don't make me laugh! Do you honestly believe our country's ambitions are so small. The purpose of my visit here is to declare one thing to your country. You can no longer be observers in this endeavor. The time of peace ends here. There are only two choices before you. Submission or death.”- ambassador
“ Is that right. Honestly, I'm not one to be bossed around except by my wives. And how my mind works, if you don't like the first couple of options, give yourself a new one. So I'll do just that.”- Damian
Damian proceeded to go toe to toe with the underworld beast with barely any damage. Lucky for him, the the beast was too slow. Their fight moved all the way to the main hall. Damian was slowly tiring, but the monster wasn't faring any better. The ambassador was slowly getting impatient as the fight was taking to long.
“ Argh, can't believe he's still not dead yet. I was chosen for this because it should have been easy to overtake them. I will have to step up my game. “- ambassador
“( Uh, I don't think I can keep this up. I've got to strike it in one of it's vital areas.)”- Damian
It was during this time that queen Elena appeared with his father. As they were watching, they were seen by the ambassador. Believing he found an opportunity to turn the tide on this situation he decided to take advantage of it.
“ Well, looks like we have a full audience. I guess I should call up some more entertainment.”- ambassador
The ambassador clapped his hands together and drew upon a massive amount of magic. A magic circle appeared behind him and two more underworld beasts emerged from it. This sent a wave of despair to Damian as he was too preoccupied taking care of the first one to handle the others.
“ Hahaha, let's see how deal with this descendant of Alex. My two faithful servants, take care of them.”- ambassador
The two new beasts turned their attention to Elena and Nathan. Elena put on a brave face, but it was obvious she was nervous. Nathan knew he was the only chance they had at survival, so he drew upon his battleforce and prepared to engage. This was unnecessary as Felix took this opportunity to appear.
“ Nemean clap”
Drawing upon the Greek and Roman myth, Felix clapped his hands together and generated a massive shockwave. The shockwave forced both the underworld beasts off their feet and into the wall. To say the ambassador was shocked would be an understatement.
“ Let me guess, negotiations went south and now it's down to kickbutt diplomacy?”- Felix
“ Felix, it's you?”- Elena
“ Your timing was impeccable my boy”- Nathan
“ (Thank goodness)”- Damian
“ Who-who are you? And how were you able to push those two back?” - ambassador
“ Grandpa, you should go back up dad. He might need your support. Leave her majesty to me.”- Felix
“ Very well.”- Nathan
“ Hey, I'm talking to you.”- ambassador
“ It's been awhile your majesty, your looking rather well. Your youngest kids are alright so you needn't worry about them.”- Felix
“ It's good to know that your looking after them.”- Elena
“ HEY, QUIT IGNORING ME.”- ambassador
“ I don't need to concern myself with minor characters.”- Felix
“ Minor? You dare consider me nothing more than minor. I'll open a new understanding of pain for you punk. C'mon you two. Get up and dispose of these terrans.”- ambassador
While they were getting back up, Felix was trying to come up with a countermeasure. While he was able to knock them back, it was only because he caught them off guard. Nathan was now taking care of the other underworld beast with his son leaving him with the other two. Felix could take on at least one with his current power up, but in order to take on two, he would have to use more, which he didn't want to do so for multiple reasons.
“ Dang it Felix, you just up and went ahead of me. You've sure got a lot of guts.”- Alicia
And she was one of those reasons. She wound up falling behind when Felix went ahead as he sensed the upcoming threat. She finally managed to catch up, though she didn't seem to care about the current state of things.
“ Does this really look like this is the time for your snobbish attitude? In case you hadn't noticed, the bad guy is that way.”- Felix
“ Seriously, another nuisance? We're all these riffraffs coming from? I'm trying to fulfill a mission here.”- ambassador
“ Hmm, who are you, a summoner? You must be a fairly decent one by the look of your skills. I see you were able to summon a madan, and quite a few of them to. You must have apprenticed yourself to Medivh. That man always seemed to have great knowledge over demons. How's he doing by the way, do you know?”- Alicia
“ W-w-w-what! Y-y-you, how do you know of the great mage Medivh. And how do you know the name of these underworld beasts.”- ambassador
“ Because I was the one who told him to research demons. I wanted to use them as an unlimited army. Though these beasts low intelligence and power output made them barely usable.”- Alicia
“ This can't be. The only person who could ever get Medivh to do anything was the deadliest magus to ever walk the earth. The mighty Alicia Rand Philistine. Don't tell me your-.”- Felix
“ That's right amatuer. I'm the one whose name struck fear in the hearts of all terrans. The mighty Alicia Rand Philistine.”- Alicia
The ambassador just stood there with a blank expression till one of the underworld beast decided to come over and slam its fist down
“ Who do you think you are? You dare to pull a stunt like that in front of me? Masquerading as the great mage when you barely have any magic at all. Do you take me for an idiot?”- ambassador
“ No, but she is for believing that would actually do something. Especially when even I don't take her as a threat.
The ambassador was shocked to find out that Alicia was alive in the arms of Felix. He didn't even see him move.
“ Hey, who are you calling an idiot, you little brat.”- Alicia.
“ Moving on from that subject, we need to take out those beasts before the entire kingdom razed to the ground.”- Felix
“ What do you mean 'we’. I can't use my magic with this blasted seal on me. And even if I could, why should I help you?”- Alicia
“ Because you still owe me for letting you out, because I hold your power so you have to, and because if you don't help I'll just let those creatures eat you.”- Felix
“.... fair enough. Though you didn't have to be so harsh. So how do you know how to undo the seal?”- Alicia
“ Well that's...uhhh.”- Felix
Felix knew how to undo the seal, he just didn't like what he had to do with her. He didn't have time to debate since his kids finally took that time to appear. As they took notice of the battle an underworld beast took notice of them. This left them completely paralysed.
“ Dang it. No more hesitation. Hold still.”- Felix
“ What are you….mmmm?”- Alicia
Before she could get a word in, Alicia found herself being kissed by Felix. It was deep kiss that only lasted a few seconds. When Felix stepped back, she was still a little dazed until a magic circle appeared from under her. The effects were so enormous, it resonated throughout the entire castle. This caused a temporary lapse of movement for everyone present including the underworld beasts. Felix was the first one to get out of his stupor and use the opportunity to get between his children and the beast.
“ Wha- what is this? What's with all this magical power? It's beyond anything I've ever seen!”- ambassador
“ Is this really a power a normal human can possess?”- Damian
“ This could be a serious omen of things to come”- Elena
“ So this is the power that drove my brother to a corner huh?”- Felix
HAHAHAHA! FINALLY. MY POWER HAS RETURNED AT LAST!”- Alicia
“ Yeah still not seeing it.”- Felix
With no reason to worry about that side of the fight, Felix proceeded to worry about the fight right in front of him. Taking this opportunity to counterstrike, Felix summoned hercules club, a massive club with spiked areas. Taking a mighty leap, he swings his club at the face of the beast and slams it on the other side of the castle. He then chases it to find that it's struggling to regain it's balance. Deciding to finish this fight, Felix combines his martial arts with his strength and uses one of the deadliest fist attacks at his disposal.
( Demolition fist)
The attack did both outer and inner damage to the underworld beast, blowing a massive hole in its body. For good measure, he took his club sliced off his head. With his fight settled, he observed Alicia to see how she was faring. That woman dominating to the point she was playing around. The underworld beast was throwing everything it had at her, but it couldn't get passed her defense.
“ HAHAHA, is this extent of the power you're so proud of? I may have some skill, but you're a fool to believe you're my opponent.”- Alicia
Absolute Blaze
Lifting only one of her fingers, Alicia summoned a massive ball of magic and completely obliterated the underworld beast she fought, as well as the one Nathan and Amari fought. Their surprise was outweighed by their relief. Queen Elena was observing the whole thing after she got her kids close to her. Underneath her wide-eyed expression was a calculative mind. This matter would surely spiral the nation into chaos.
“ T-That enormous magical power. T-That overwhelming confidence. T-That insane godly pressure. Can you really be her? The mighty Alicia Rand Philistine!”- ambassador
“ Well, look who finally has his head on his shoulders. It's about time you realized the pure greatness that is me. I am she the queen of all mana.”- Alicia
“ But how? How did you survive all these years? And why are you siding with these terrans.
“ You needn’t concern yourself with that. What I do is only for me to know. As for you, you should be more concerned with how you’re going to get out of here without dying.”- Alicia
The ambassador looked around and saw that he was completely surrounded. Realizing he had lost the advantage, he made a quick decision and slammed his hands on the ground. A massive light filled the chamber and when it faded, he had vanished only to appear in the air on top of a massive hawk.
“This isn’t the end of this,terrans. Your ignorance will cost you dearly. I suggest you prepare, for the war and all that it entails.” - ambassador
With that, the ambassador steered the hawk and left as quickly as he could. Felix kept eyes on him till he was sure he completely left. When he was sure, he quickly went over to Elena and the kids to check on their situation.
“How are you guys. Did you gain any injuries.?”- felix
“We’re fine big brother Felix. Thanks’ for saving us.”- Lisa
“Yeah, if it wasn’t for you we’d be seeing this unfold in the afterlife.
“I’m just happy that you managed to make it one piece Felix. It’s nice to see the kind of man you’ve become after all these years.”- Elena
“Yeah well, I’m glad to see you haven’t changed much.”- felix.
“Flatterer as always. So this is really her huh. The witch of legend.”- elena
“I’m afraid so Elena. She is without question the S-class mage. And now we’ve truly seen what she is capable of.”- felix
Felix stared at the mage who was brimming with confidence and charm. He realized then that she may have given his brother a run for his money.
“HAHAHAHAHA, FINALLY. It’s about time I’ve gotten some recognition around here.”- Alicia
(Or not.)
