Enough is Enough - Expansion
Summary: The Hero has a few things to say to Jaania and gives the Leader of the Rose a little rant of her own.
Disclaimer: I do not own DragonFable or any franchise associated with it. I do, however, own Clare Pendragon who is very angry about what has been going on during her icy imprisonment.
~~~~~~
The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed throughout the room as the Hero of Lore smacked the Leader of the Rose right across the face. Hard.
Everyone in King Alteon's throne room looked on in stunned silence, their minds trying to process what had just happened.
It was the right hand of the Rose's leader, General Akanthus, who snapped out of it first to address the Hero.
"You!" He growled, lifting his weapon and charging at Lore's Hero. "How dare you-"
General Akanthus was cut off as the Hero brought up her sword to deflect the blow. Her blue eyes glared coldly at him as she pushed him back with the swing of her sword.
"Shut. Up."
A shiver ran down the spines of nearly all of those present. Lady Jaania and General Akanthus may have been among the most powerful people in all of Lore since the Rose came to power, but there was no denying who held the real power in the room at this exact moment.
Clare Pendragon, Dragon Lord, Hero of Lore, the one who defeated SMUDD and destroyed the Ultimate Orb... was not someone who should easily be trifled with. She radiated the strength and power as anyone with her experience would. It was dangerous to make an enemy out of her and right now, she was proving to be even more so now that she had displayed through her actions that she would not show anyone who came at her any mercy.
Which, right now, extended towards members of the Rose.
"That was for Warlic, you-" Here Clare called Lady Jaania something that had General Akanthus bellowing in outrage and most people gasping in shock. The blonde took no notice as she continued addressing the Leader of the Rose in a way that no one had -no one would ever dare to- since they the Rose had taken over.
The blue haired woman's eyes flashed at the mention of her former friend's name, one of who she had imprisoned within the ice alongside Clare.
"Do not mention that monster's name to me-"
Jaania was barely able to get the sentence out when Clare backhanded the woman on the other cheek (the one that she hadn't hit) as she took a step forward, her eyes burning with disgust and anger at how callously the mage could refer to someone she had been friends with and had trained alongside with in the past.
"Don't you ever refer to him as a monster," Clare snarled, her voice and gaze as cold as the frozen glaciers of Dragesvard. "He's a thousand times better a person than you'll ever be and deserves better. I don't even know what he sees in you."
Clare stomped forward, fists clenched as Jaania began to back away, looking wary of the girl. When she had first heard of the 'Hero of Lore' finally breaking out of her ice, she had scoffed. Even if she had saved Lore several of times, she had easily been caught off guard and frozen beside the strongest mages in the world at the time. But now that she had already sabotaged several hideouts, hacked through her men like they were nothing more than annoying obstacles in her way and gotten several towns to rebel against her organization... she would have to re-evaluate her opinion on the Hero.
"I've saved the world from eternal darkness, had to deal with Wargoth, been frozen in a block of ice and," Clare broke out into laughter. "get released from said imprisonment to discover that you form an ANTI-MAGIC CULT IN MY ABSENCE WITH THE MISGUIDED IDEAL OF ELIMINATING MAGIC!"
Her eyes were narrowed as she continued.
"Do you know what I saw, Jaania?" The hero's voice was light, nearly playful and teasing. But the look in her eyes told one that she was anything but. "Your organization abusing its power and bullying the commons people, enslavement of magical creatures, the displacement of thousands of people from their homes, the destruction of Popsrocket, the imprisonment and torture of people for their association with magic..."
The Hero laughed.
"I'll admit, a lot of things are my fault. Konnan's descent to darkness, the Elemental dissonance-" She started laughing again. "And a lot of things are Warlic's fault as well. Particularly you and the pyromancer Xan. But look at what you have done! You and your misguided organization! This is just as bad as Sepulchure and Wargoth! Did it not even occur to you that removing magic from a land so embedded with it would result in the world's destruction? Did it not occur to you that your actions would result in the genocide of countless other species whose livelihoods depend on magic? WELL?!"
Clare caught herself, taking a deep breath and then raising her sword and leveling it at Jaania's throat.
"You and the Rose may have started with good intentions at the beginning, but now your organization is nothing more than a power hungry, abusing dictatorship." Clare tilted her head slightly, a small smile on her face. "I remember your last words, even after you sealed us in that ice. What were they?"
She chuckled.
"Oh yes. They were 'whatever it takes'. And now, five years later, I am going to give them back to. I'll stop you and your misguided organization, and I'll do whatever it takes to bring you to your knees."
