Amaya

  As I charged towards Abaddon one of his guards tried to stop me. I pushed his glaive away with my sword, then I teleported. The guards had tried to pincer me but they had been way too obvious. The attack aimed for my back only hit air as I appeared behind the guard and cut his head off.

  What happened next surprised me. His body crumbled like a juice box as all the blood left through the severed neck, then it floated towards Shani. The elemental coated her lightning scythe with it.

  Electricity was not supposed to be a physical thing. It was energy. Yet somehow Shani had always turned it into a magical scythe to slash things with. Now the same electricity was covered in blood. It really looked like the lightning had a sheen of blood on it, it even dripped! But it got a lot more horrifying. Shani was fighting two guards, and enjoying herself, as her scythe scored a glancing hit on one of the demons.

  The blood lightning scythe had a devastating effect. The small hit seemed to electrify the entire blood inside the demon who screamed in pain. Then he started to fall to the ground as his wings gave out.

  "Wait! Come back blood!" Shani shouted as she dived after the falling demon.

  Even Abaddon seemed disturbed by the spectacle. "Get her! I will handle the fey." He commanded his remaining guards.

  We started exchanging blows with our weapons while I contemplated the situation. The runes on his glaive looked familiar. I was pretty sure this weapon was like the one Belphestus had used against me. The weapon that had consumed Belphestus in the end and was turned into a snack for Lilith. If I got hit I might be forced to devour it, which could incapacitate my friends.

  I could just buy time here and wait for them to win their fights, assuming they would win. I had no idea exactly how powerful those ancient lords were. Then there was the city. While we duelled the leaders, thousands of demons closed in on Haruka and her tree. We had strong defenders but would they be enough?

  While we fought lightning kept falling from the sky. I directed my storm to hit Abaddon over and over again, but even with my piercing lightning he did not take a lot of damage. It was time to get more serious with my magic, I had quite a few spell slots after all.

  Interlude - Shani

  This was awesome! I really enjoyed Amaya's storms. I could feel the wind, the rain and the lightning. They felt like home. I could feel the entire area, I could feel the demons, I could hear their cries and I could smell their blood. Oh what tasty blood they had. I remembered the first time Amaya had invited me to a slaughter. I had never experienced death on such a scale before. And that day I had truly discovered the power of blood. The liquid was brimming with power, just waiting to be unlocked. It did require quite a bit of time but eventually I managed to harness it, use it, incorporate it into my body.

  It was such a wild power, like the storm. It needed to be fought, it needed to be tamed and then… then it became beautiful. Amaya had popped the cork on one of those juicy demons and now his power was mine! His blood was my fuel as my scythe tore through another victim. His precious liquid became fuel for more!

  I was an elemental! I was fuelled by the environment! I bathed in the storm as the blood of my enemies surrounded me. They had challenged Amaya, they had challenged the Storm. Now they would meet its WRATH.

  Amaya

  The first spell I tried was Chains of Torment. It would hold him in place and amplify the damage he got.

  The black chains appeared and tried to grab his arms and legs. It was tier 7 magic, so quite potent, however his glaive managed to parry two of the chains. One caught his left arm, the other his right leg. He grunted and unleashed his own magic. Blades of wind appeared and cut through the chains.

  I whistled. That had been an 8th tier spell. Then I grinned and pointed my blade at him.

  "Storm's Judgement."

  I did not need to say the name out loud but it kind of felt right. I further fuelled the 9th tier magic with my aura as lightning hit me from the sky, then flowed through me towards the tip of my blade. A giant bolt of lightning emerged and raced straight for the demon lord. A hastily erected shield formed before him, likely a lower tier spell that he pushed higher to avoid the casting time. The shield shattered and the lightning hit him directly in the chest.

  He certainly felt that one, as he screamed in anger and pain. But he was not done. His response was eight giant blades of wind coming for me. I slashed two apart with my sword, dodged five and got hit in my right arm with the last. It hurt but the wound started healing immediately.

  My next move was Winter's Grasp. Ice was likely not something he expected since I was a storm fey. The magic managed to briefly freeze him so I followed it up with another Storm's Judgement.

  The lightning helped melt the ice and covered his body in electrified water. It was even more effective than the rain as his body spasmed in response. And now he seemed really mad.

  He charged with his weapon while simultaneously forming a tornado to engulf me.

  "Fool." I declared.

  I was not a lightning fey, I was a storm fey and a tornado was clearly a storm. MY STORM.

  I unleashed my will, my aura upon it. The tornado was a raging beast, unwilling to be conquered, but it would submit. It was my element.

  My eyes started glowing as I really cut loose. I even managed to feed a 9th tier spell into my aura, somehow. I became one with the weather.

  "I AM THE STORM." The tornado began to submit, it joined my own storm, my own aura. It was no longer just air, it was joined by wind, joined by lightning. It became my raging beast and engulfed Abaddon.

  "What have you done?!?" He exclaimed.

  Lightning hit him from all sides while the wind tried to tear the skin from his body.

  "NOW FACE MY JUGDEMENT." I cast Storm's Judgement once more. But something was different. All of my remaining tier 9 spell slots were consumed as the largest bolt I had ever seen fell from the sky. Abaddon screamed as lightning was coursing through his body, cooking him from within. A smoking corpse fell from the sky.

  As the tornado formed I could feel Amaya react. I could feel her truly embrace the storm. I smiled. Our mental link was connected to the plane of wind. But the storm was more! It needed water. I used some of the power she provided and directed it into the link, I tore open the dimensional boundaries and flooded our link with water! The elements mingled and became one. As new power flooded the link I could feel my power over blood increase. It contained a lot of water, after all. Today I would become the queen of the blood storm! Cutest and most deadly court elemental in history! I eyed the demon horde. I was Amaya's Wrath, it was time to get to work.

  "MUAHAHAHAHAH!"
