     Athena's eyes narrowed more, it may of been a bit of a secret that Athena really hated to be talked down to, to be treated as though she were some helpless little child. Did innocence really come with the price of respect? She certainly didn't get any, if that was the case.The way Carmen spoke to her showed that much, she was nothing but a helpless woman to her. She had to show her differently, maybe even everyone. She had to show she wasn't some useless, spoiled little princess everyone made her out to be! "I always hated fighting....but you know what I hate even more? To be treated so lowly, to be treated like a child! " The energy that was gathering around her as she spoke, seemed to react heavier with her emotions, and they were quite sky-high right now. Everything went into that one release of the mysteriously powered arrow, everything...and in the end, it missed. It still...MISSED! She could literally feel her heart sinking, the determination in her eyes going along with it. Could she feel anymore useless? She was so sure her arrow would make it's mark, that it would show her she wasn't a joke, and it would also show that she could stand up for her family and friends. But it all went downhill pretty much instantly.
She felt the pull of her bow, as Carmen tried to snatch it away from her, like a parent taking away a dangerous object from a child! Oh, how her emotions were soaring.."I.....am not....a child!!!" She pulled the bow back suddenly, and what happened next was quite unexpected, even by Athena herself, as that mysterious power caught onto Carmen's own invisible line of magic, her telekinesis that would try to pull her weapon away, would be the line the energy would follow like an electrical current, and Carmen would find that she couldn't hide from this one! No matter where she went, no matter what she did to avoid it, it kept coming, rushing for her at a terrifying speed!
If that wasn't enough, had Athena been able to regain control of her bow, she would bring fourth another arrow. "Let me help, let's bring her down to her knee's for once, shall we? " Phoenix's voice came to her mind, and suddenly, the magical arrow caught a new form of added magic, fire. Fire guided by Phoenix, fire and a mysterious magic guided by Phoenix. Carmen would have a VERY hard time avoiding both at the same time. If even she could put a little singe to her hair, it would give Phoenix the best feeling.
Rather that all happened, then came Ephraim's attempt to protect her, to which she shook her head..Although grateful, she REALLY wanted to do this without added protection. She wanted to face Carmen, and she wanted to put an end to her constant bullying and reckless behavior. "Let me handle her! I can do this! " Of course, things were just not going her way, as if anyone would listen! Most people didn't when they wanted to protect someone, but still...her reasoning was pretty clear.
Rather Athena and Phoenix's little add on worked against Carmen, if she hated the SAND in her hair, well, she would really hate what was coming to her now. Pretty much out of no where, too..a decent sized wave just a little taller then herself, came crashing down into her, it would be terrible, the sticky sand, the salty sea water, and all that stuck in her hair, and all over her body! "You really won't like that, then, will you? " Came Azura's voice, who was...a little late to the 'party' here, but better then not being here at all. She only really became aware of what was going on as the fighting really began,it was hard to miss the emotions from everyone in this general location. As Azura got closer to them, Carmen would see she wasn't totally alone, what with two watery spirits floating along side her. Two very ready to defend and attack spirits at that. She had no idea who this woman was, so her only thought was, some kind of new Reaper causing chaos..

Carmen "Ow!" Carmen let out sharply as the magic around Athena recoiled intensely, Carmen waving her hand quickly as if she just got shocked by an electrical outlet. "Will you stop, Athena? I really don't want to hurt you." And then came the next arrow, which lodged itself into her shoulder. "Agh?!" She stumbled backward, the surging magic close to exploding on contact, but that white-hot energy sputtered out moments after touching her. Baring her teeth, Carmen grabbed the arrow, ripping it out of her shoulder. "O-kay..." She said, her voice becoming testy. "No more miss nice Carmen it is..." She said as she snapped the arrow in her fist, while her wound closed itself.
Turning her head slightly, she raised her arm, and that wave that nearly crashed down upon her would suddenly freeze solid. Raising her other hand, she telekinetically lifted Phoenix, hurling her towards the frozen wave, and Phoenix would feel her form become incorporeal for a moment, phasing into the wave until her entire body was stuck in the frozen water aside from her head, so she could breathe and didn't die. This freezing cold would certainly not make her feel very empowered, and it was a magical frost that was very, very difficult to burn through. Turning her eye now, she waved her arm in Azura's direction, and Azura--to her horror--would feel herself suddenly forced into her mermaid form, and then thrown out towards the sea. Could she throw her towards the island instead, try to make her completely helpless? Yes, but she didn't know if Azura could breathe on land while in that form. She figured she could, but she wasn't here to kill anyone, and didn't want to take her chances! Hence why she kept Phoenix's head free.
"Down!" She turned her gaze towards Athena, and vines sprouted from the ground, constricting around her to bind her in place. Not that dissimilar to Unisha's, though likely not AS strong as Unisha's, and they weren't so constrictive that they might cause damage.
She let out a heavy sigh, rubbing her shoulder. "Ugh..." That felt so uncalled for. Clapping her hand together, she spoke a word in such a commanding tone that it echoed across the beach. "SLEEP!" She threw her arms out after, sending a pulse of hypnotic energy across the immediate area, sending anyone weak of body or mind into a deep slumber. Anyone already exhausted or otherwise not strong of mind or body would have a very hard time resisting. So, in Carmen's mind--that meant everyone here. Aeon and Kaden certainly failed to resist, sighing as they lost consciousness.
"...And yet you're still standing." She said in mild irritation at Ephraim. "Your surprises are becoming annoying now.""Not the first time I've been told that." Ephraim responded crossly."...!" Clapping her hands together, with enough magical potency crackling between her fingers that it threw anyone still standing off balance, she exhaled sharply--the absurd magic coursing through her practically radiating in her very breath. She opened her eyes--two orbs of glowing white without color from the immense magic she was channeling. And a single power word came through her lips, shouted out in a boom that felt like it could level a tree. "KNEEL!" She shouted, throwing her arms towards Ephraim specifically, evoking the most potent form of her Power Word spell to end his defiance. His irritating defiance--a human believed he could stand against her!"...Ngh!" Every joint, every muscle, every bone attempted to bend to the woman's word as that word of power coursed through his entire body, attempting to wrench him into submission to the word--to her command. To her absolute authority. Yet as his eyes widened, and his teeth bared, his will shouted in resistance. His mind bent, his heart folded, yet the shout of his willpower resonated through him like a rallying cry, building from his his feet to his waist, to his torso, to his throat, and finally through his vocal cords. "NO!" He shouted, and with a thunderous blast of noise like a sonic boom, that magic attempting to force him into submission jettisoned out of him, like an animal who had fled in terror. Carmen was, quite literally, thrown off her feet and down to her back with a shriek of surprise--the failure of her ultimate Power Word sending a jolt through her body that instantly ended all the spells she was concentrating on. Those asleep would stir, the icy prison Phoenix was stuck in would evaporate into harmless water and allow her to drop gently to the sand, and the vines constricting Athena receded back into the ground."...?!" Carmen could not wrap her head around what she just saw, and in apparent fear, she used her hands to scoot herself back away from the king while she was in the sand. "You- that's not- that's not possible!" She practically shrieked, as if her disbelief could change reality. "What is WRONG with you?! You- you can't beat me, you must realize that! Why would you not just do what I tell you!"Taking an aggressive step towards her, Ephraim cast a severe gaze down at her. "Because I'd rather die on my feet than live on my knees." He said, moving his foot beneath his spear which was in the sand--knocking it up with his foot and catching it, readying himself. "Now, stand up and let's finish this!""..." Carmen averted her gaze momentarily. "Is this what you meant by human willpower...?" She asked herself, apparently reflecting on a discussion from her past."What?""You win, King Ephraim." She sighed out, leaving Ephraim surprised. She forced herself onto her feet. "Maybe I could win if I fought, but I don't feel like it anymore. I think... you made your point clear enough. Clear enough to knock the fight out of me. That's about as close as you'll ever get to actually beating me." She crossed her arms. "But don't expect it to happen again! Next time, I'm going to crush you.""Well, sounds like this was all a big waste of time, then. As per usual with you. Will you dismiss the hex now?""..." Carmen scowled slightly."Oh... it's already gone. And you didn't do it, did you?""You impressed me this time, human. Don't expect it to happen again." She said crossly, turning to leave--she clearly wasn't wanted here, given everyone showed up in full force to try to fight her. She'd leave them to their fun, and return to... work. (( OOC: ))

"Do you ever stop hamulating Alisa? " That should tell her exactly enough, that she didn't plan to stop, just as she never stopped picking on her sister. Constantly making her look weak in front of everyone every time they fought each other. This little moment of Athena actually trying to defend her sister for once, was well deserved and she would not feel bad for hurting Carmen a little. She was tough, as everyone knew. When it came to Carmen's attempt to force the change on Azura, she might realize something rather surprising, she didn't change. Nor did she fly off into the sea as intended.Azura just stood there, glaring at her from the slight distance they stood from each other. "Didn't work, did it? " Her tone was about as sarcastic as it could get. "There's a reason why I haven't been caught by all my enemies.." ShinRa was one of the major ones, they tried everything, but nothing ever could hold Azura before she managed to slip away from their grasp! In the case of Carmen, her magic was completely blocked the moment it tried to touch her. A little help from the ring on her finger that kept her in control of her form, paired with her own power that would keep her unaffected by both attempts.
...Until the pulse of hypnotic energy slept across the area, and she could feel...the sensation of becoming a little sleepy. ..that MAY be a bit of her weakness, as most knew. She did have a habit of falling asleep in the strangest of places. This was not helping her image now! Though, she was still standing, and still alert, but clearly fighting it..
Phoenix was...probably wanting to kill herself now, how the hell did she end up in this situation? In ICE, of all things! The affects of the cold brought Phoenix's energy down by...a lot. It was her greatest weakness, but it also enraged her more then might be good for Carmen later on. She wouldn't forget this moment, this humiliation. She. Wouldn't. Forget. What with her energy having been receding, when the sleepiness caught a hold of her, well, she wasn't so lucky as Azura there, standing so confidently it actually irritated Phoenix a little!
Azura and Athena would be some of the few who were able to resist the sleeping spell, but with the vines binding Athena, her attempts to try anything more were ended. Azura -was- about to try another move against Carmen as her focus went back to Ephraim, but in those next few moments they would be left completely shocked, it wasn't hard to know just how much power she was putting into her intimidation to bring Ephraim to his knee's, and the way he fought it, the way his mind kept him in control over that power, it was really impressive and quite incredible. She would have to push past her emotions for now, because they were pretty all over the place! "....Are you okay? ..It's almost next to impossible for most people to avoid her magic..it's really truly incredible you were able to stay so strong against her, Ephraim." While she didn't have the experience of battling against Carmen, she had watched her fight enough times to know just how tough she was..and why she used such force against her herself, she knew it wouldn't harm her that bad, and she definitely wasn't trying to kill her!
And all that was done by Carmen, had become quickly undone, though one might hope Phoenix was left in her little icy prison, due to the second she dropped to the ground, and was woken by the fall, everything came rushing back to her, so much that.....she didn't realize the battle was already over..All she saw was the neko-girl making her way to...leave?? "Where do you think you're going? I'm not finished with you!!! "

 ___ ___  _________   ___ ___ "We face the king of demons, the monster that once ruled all Magvel.
He's more powerful than any one of us here. But we have something that beast will never have.
We have community, friendship, love... We have all the virtues of humanity.
That is our weapon. That is our strength.
Is everyone ready? We're going to win." Ephraim let out a soft sigh. He really didn't feel any different, so he had no way of knowing the hex was gone--but he supposed it wouldn't have been effective if it was noticeable. He felt a bit exhausted after all that, but his strength was starting to return to him--it had almost been forcibly drained out of him by that word of power she cast on him. Now that the magic had been expelled from him, he was getting back to normal. Glancing at Athena as she addressed him, he nodded. "I'm fine, don't concern yourself over me." He said reassuringly, giving her a small smile. 'It wasn't easy, though. Like every part of my body was fighting to obey her. Still, it was nothing that impressive, I'm sure.""Cut the modesty!" Alisa interjected, giving him a look. "You literally fought off an insane amount of magic invading your body and trying to force you to do something with your sheer stubbornness. If THAT isn't impressive, nothing I've ever done is impressive! I mean, that was a Power Word spell, she had to have learned it from my mother. I've never seen anyone else able to use it. And I've never, ever heard of anyone resisting it. Like... never heard of that in all our history. It's one of the strongest spells of my kingdom." She didn't know for sure if it had never been resisted, but if so, she had never heard of it. Anytime she had ever heard it described, it was described as though it never failed when it was channeled at a single target."Really? That's surprising... I wouldn't have guessed it was such a renown spell from your kingdom. I wonder how I managed to resist it then... Either way, I do appreciate the kind words." He felt a little odd, receiving such praise. Back in his world, it was just constant criticism. Everyone he spoke to had something to criticize him over! "What I'm more impressed by is you, Athena," He commented, turning towards her with small smile. "I didn't know you had that kind of power. You're the only one of us who actually managed to get a hit on her. Were you holding out on me earlier, when I asked to train?" He asked with mild amusement, obviously being a bit playful. Kaden, having woken up and having the collar removed, was already getting a little irritated. He was acting a little too familiar with Athena!"Later, hot stuff." Carmen said tauntingly, blowing a similarly taunting kiss at Phoenix before vanishing from the area. Though, she seemed a bit somber to leave. ...She had to wonder if she could ever have fun like that, just hanging out with friends and relaxing on a beach. It seemed... really fun. She supposed she'd need some friends first... kinda a tall order for her, it seemed."Whoa, calm down!" Ephraim said, putting his hands on Phoenix's shoulders to try to keep her from going on a blade-swinging frenzy at everyone there! A little more familiar than he was typically comfortable with, but he was pretty close to Phoenix. "She surrendered, it's all right!" He said with a small, amused chuckle."...I don't remember giving you permission to touch her," Aeon said threateningly, and suddenly, he was right beside Ephraim, delivering a harsh punch directly towards his gut, just as he had done earlier!...And it stopped right in its tracks, as Ephraim instinctively caught his wrist inches from its mark."..." Aeon tried to pull his arm back, but it didn't budge. "Ngh!" He tried again, and finally, Ephraim released his grip, causing Aeon to stumble backwards. Unseen by most, a small little grin spread over Alisa's face. Oh yeah, the hex was definitely gone."Stop acting so cool, dog!" Kaden shouted in irritation, thrusting his practice spear towards Ephraim's back while he was focused on Aeon.Ephraim stepped back, narrowly dodging the incoming thrust, grabbing the spear beneath the "blade" and slamming his elbow down on it, snapping it in half. Kaden let out a noise of shock, before Ephraim stepped towards him, grabbing him by the collar of his shirt, turning and HURLING him straight at Aeon!"Oof!" Aeon let out in mild irritation as he was bowled over by the Frozen Prince, both of them hitting the sand. "Ugh, get off me, deadweight." He muttered, shoving Kaden off him very unapologetically."...Ah." Ephraim glanced down at his hands for a moment, realizing how much sharper his instincts were--back to normal. A small grin spread over his face. "That's more like it." He said confidently, stepping forward. "You want a rematch again? I'll gladly take you both on!""...No." Aeon said flatly after standing up."What do you mean, "no"?!""I already won! I don't have anything to gain by fighting him again. If he kicks my a** now, it'll make me look worse. But if I don't fight him, I still won.""Pretty cowardly mentality...""Don't care, ******** off, get out of my face." Yeah, honor was certainly not something Aeon seemed to really care about. What mattered to him was keeping Phoenix impressed! And him refusing to fight again out of fear of losing was definitely going to impress her!(( OOC: ))

Athena's cheeks suddenly began to gain a soft red coloration at the sudden praise from Ephraim. The entire time until now, she was..already starting to regret her actions. All she wanted to do was scare Carmen away, yet what she ended up doing seemed far more aggressive then really intended. "..I honestly don't know how it happened..It wasn't my intention to raise such power...I was just...so angry with her! You've never seen how cruel she is with Alisa..and then she had to say such a horrible thing to Aeon..." That may of triggered her hidden anger a lot more then expected. Even while Athena hadn't seen him for so many years, she knew he had been through a lot. They ALL had been, did she think the two sisters losing their only brother was amusing? She deserved the treatment she received, even if it seemed..a little much. "Then she humiliated Kaden! Although I acted out to defend them, in the end I only feel terrible. Like I did everything wrong.." It was really tearing her apart, it only showed just how much she hated fighting. It didn't bring any good, and it certainly didn't make her feel great. Although she did appreciate his kindness, and his praise, she had to let him know that what she did wasn't intentionally meant to cause so much pain. "That power, I didn't know I could do something like that..All I did was say a prayer to all of nature around us, and all that power came rushing to me. " It was very strange for her to experience such a hold of power, but after today, she probably wouldn't be trying that again! "My arrows never formed...like that. They would always explode near my target, to cause a burst of it's energy to knock them back a ways, at the very least, to scare them off! I only wanted to make her leave..not hurt her.."
"I want to fry her! She deserves it! " Phoenix, still frantically blinded by her rage and the humiliation moment of her life, was so ready to pursue her no matter how long it took to find her again! But....as a pair of hands clamped down on her shoulders, it seemed to 'wake' her up from her blind rage, and in a few moments she would begin to calm down! "Hmph...I won't forget this, you stupid cat.." It was rather hilarious, the BIRD going after the CAT! In the next few moments, what continued to transpire was........unbelievably hilarious, even at the expense of her new boyfriend getting a bit humiliated himself. She loved how jealous he got, and even Athena, who was so clearly down seconds ago, found herself trying to hide the soft giggling that escaped her. It was hard not to find the humor in this moment between the jealous men, and Ephraim's confidence raised while Aeon backed down from the challenge, leaving Kaden to decide what he wanted to do, clearly he seemed puzzled on the choice he had. "I would listen to Aeon.." She said into Kaden's mind. "As he said, you already won! " Unless she wasn't important enough that he would risk losing the next round, and in doing so losing her!
Finally, she turned to Aeon after he was free of Kaden. To his horror, Kaden was replaced by that of Athena before he could try to get away. Though it wasn't quite the intense hug as she wanted to do at first, it was still a big hug! She said nothing, enjoying the moment she got to hug her brother after so many terrible years without him. He would feel her arms gradually tighten around him and he would know, he wasn't going anywhere until Athena had her full, forever long hug.. "I missed you so much.." She said softly, her voice becoming a little shaky with the addition of happy tears trickling down her cheeks.
"Well, ..uh....You can see me anytime, but what I want you to do is spend time with your sisters. That's more important right now...And if you refuse, i'll leave! Consider yourself your sisters captive for now! " Phoenix said with a tiny smirk. She would much rather see the siblings get time together, they obviously needed it.

Is everyone ready? We're going to win.""You didn't do anything wrong. It's only natural to want to protect people you care about." Ephraim reassured her. He tried to protect her as well, during the battle, so he certainly understood. Though Ephraim did tend to recklessly protect people often in battle, so perhaps that wasn't too surprising. "She'll be fine, she seems tough." She kinda had to be, given how much she had defeated Alisa in the past. Alisa was nowhere close to a joke in battle! Plus, she did kinda just nearly destroy this entire group all at once. If not for Ephraim being able to resist her Power Word, she very well may have done exactly that."...I'm not scared of him!" Kaden said defensively. "If I back down now, it'll make me seem weak. I can just beat him again!""Yeah, just beat me again. What are you waiting for?" Ephraim challenged, tilting his head slightly in a similarly challenging manner as he stood there confidently awaiting!"..." Somehow, Kaden was a little uncertain about this. He had won before--in under thirty seconds, and without getting hit! He could just do that again, right? It would be easy. So why was he feeling a little apprehensive?"Ugh, not again." Aeon grumbled, pushing against Athena's face as she hugged him as if trying to pry her off of him! Obviously, if it REALLY bothered him, he could easily force her off. But he wasn't. "Yes, yes, we all love each other, hooray. You can let go now." This felt a little too familiar!"Forest royal hug group hug!!!" Alisa shouted, grabbing both her little siblings in her older sister vicelock of a hug! Obviously she was happy, though she may be doing this again just to irritate Aeon even more."Someone kill me." Aeon said through strained breath, as his sisters were choking the life out of him. At least if Ephraim ran him through with Siegmund, it would be a quick death--this was going to be slow and agonizing!(( OOC: ))

"Mm...I suppose you are right.." Though she may of agreed, it didn't take a lot to notice the uncertainty in her voice. Athena wasn't one to just let things go, if she thought something was wrong, and she knew what she did wasn't exactly fine, no matter what anyone told her. This guilt would remain with her for a while, but it was Athena, she was very good at hiding things that bothered her. While it was clear at this moment, she was bothered by all that happened, in a few hours, she would bottle it all up and hide everything with that gentle smile of hers.
As she turned to Kaden now, Athena shook her head at him. "It will not make you look weak, you really don't need to do this! " While Kaden's win before did impress her greatly, she really didn't see the need for him to challenge him again! Even if he lost this time around, she would still be impressed by his show of skill regardless of the outcome. Still, she didn't think they really needed to challenge each other anymore!
Of course, she couldn't control what Kaden did, and he seemed very stubborn when it came to his pride, so whatever he choose to do was...well.. his choice! Eventually, she got to have her moment with Aeon, if one could call it as such. The highly emotional, happy princess reunited with her very missed brother, only to have him try to pry her off! Well, that just made her want to hug him even tighter, as she clearly didn't get enough hugging yet. It wasn't satisfactory! Had Alisa not joined into the attack of a hug, she might of lost her grip. "I like Phoenix's idea...Don't let him go, Alisa..You're ours for the whole day! "

Is everyone ready? We're going to win.""Hmm, well, maybe I have a better idea.""Does it involve me not choking.""No!" Suddenly, both Azura and Phoenix would feel themselves slide over the sand swiftly towards her, and both of them were grabbed into Alisa's deadly clutches as they were forced to join the hug. "Me, Aeon, Athena, Uni, Phoenix, Azura, Kaden, Lilith, Teresa. All the royals of Serenity are on this island, you know! We've never all been in the same place at the same time before. That seems pretty worth celebrating! Why don't we all spend the day together? Kaden, come on, get over here!""Once I'm done putting this king in his place""Oh, give it a rest already! Everyone knows you're going to lose against him!""What! I beat him last time!""And we're all very proud of you for winning the lottery, but that doesn't mean you should keep entering. Come on!" Alisa clearly didn't have the greatest confidence in him!"...Even more reason to prove you wrong!" If he won again now, with everyone watching, he'd prove he was the alpha wolf once and for all--and Ephraim was just a dog compared to him!Alisa rolled her eyes. "I'm really not sure what you see in him, Athena..." Alisa seemed quite confident she knew exactly how this fight was going to go if it happened! (( OOC: ))

Kaden Kaden blinked as he felt a slightly strange sensation through his body. Kaden wasn't particularly good at detecting magic, and the only one on this beach who probably was--Alisa--probably didn't care to try to detect it on him. Either way though, he wasn't going to let some strange sensation stop him from putting this king on his knees! Raising his arms, ice would raise around Ephraim's ankles, attempting to bind him in place. He quickly shifted into wolf form, using his enhanced speed to sprint at Ephraim, leaping at him, and returning to humanoid form in the middle--intending to slam right into Ephraim, hopefully knocking the wind out of him and knocking him onto his back at once! (Unknown to him, power flows through Kaden from an unknown source! Paired with his confidence from his previous victory, Kaden rolls with significant advantage! Roll 3 dice, use the highest result. If the result is 9-10, Ephraim must skip his next turn. If the result is 1-3, Kaden misses, and Ephraim rolls with advantage.) (( OOC: ))

"..????" Talk about a need for a warning first! Azura nearly stumbled a few times during that...little skid across the sand. A bit embarrassing, for one so elegant as the mermaid princess! Phoenix on the other hand, wasn't quite so quiet about it, and made a screechy, annoyed noise during her little travel across the sand, followed by a unamused one as she found herself caught in the Alisa-hug-of-doom. It was the worst!! ...Though, since it involved Aeon there, she was able to handle it a little better. More so then had he not been. At that point, she would be trying to get out like a caged bird! "If were going to do that, let's do it NOT like this! " Like Aeon, Phoenix wasn't big on hugs herself, especially not when it involved so many at once! Azura was the most uncomfortable one here, more so then Phoenix! She wasn't exactly close with Aeon, they never exactly hung out due to Azura's nature! She and Phoenix were considered friends, but again, she wasn't completely close to her to be so into loving a giant shared hug!! "Okay..! " Such a serious mermaid, she had to make her escape, unfortunately in her human form she wasn't quite so good at slipping away as she was in her mermaid form. "Can we go now?? " She tried to slip herself out of the hug! "We can't all be together if were stuck like this! "

KadenEphraim let out a surprised grunt as his ankles were encased with ice--well, that wasn't a great start. He looked down, attempting to force his way out of the ice--and to his credit, he did free one of his legs--but it was right at that moment when the Frozen Prince slammed into him! (9! Ephraim must skip his next turn!)
The surprise mixed with the force forced the king to exhale all the wind out of his lungs, and his back met the sand once again, the wolf prince atop the king."Heh, why was I worried!" Kaden felt that giddy enthusiasm returning to him, as he once again grabbed him by the wrists, attempting to pin his wrists down above his head, freezing the wrists together once again to bind him!
Had that gone as he hoped, he'd continue repeating history with a wide, dominant grin, creating a collar of ice around Ephraim's neck, and extending a leash into his hand. Standing with a cocky swagger above Ephraim's bound and leashed form, he raised his shoe--bring it down harshly upon Ephraim's chest! (With Ephraim out of breath, Kaden rolls with advantage, and adds +5 to the damage roll! Roll twice, use the highest result, and add +5. If the result before adding +5 is 1-3, Kaden misses, the +5 bonus is ignored, and Ephraim attacks with advantage.) "Back where you belong, dog! Haha! Who's your alpha, huh?! Tell everyone!"(( OOC: ))

KadenEphraim couldn't believe this. Knocked out of wind as he was, he was practically completely helpless to resist the prince atop him as he bound and leashed him once again. Again! And just like before, trying to escape the freezing bonds only caused the biting cold to become worse. Laying there, panting, trying to regain his breath, he was helpless to do anything except watch as the cocky prince stood over him once again--and once again, that familiar shoe was planted upon his chest, knocking the fight right out of him.
...Their last fight had taken less than thirty seconds. This had taken less than ten, as Ephraim was forced to face the fact--he had been completely dominated. "Y-you...""Louder, dog!" He pulled on his leash, his dominant grin widening!"Y-you're the alpha! You're my alpha! Ugh...!""That's right! You LOSE!""........" Alisa blinked several times, as if blinking would clear her confusion at... what... just happened. What... just happened? "...Uh... wow... okay... I, uh, I was wrong..." She had been SO sure Kaden would be destroyed by Ephraim, but Kaden just beat him in under ten seconds, without getting touched! Without the hex on Ephraim! "...Pfft.... Haha, hahahaha!!!" That shock gave way into the biggest comedy she had maybe ever seen! Stalking over to them, she crouched down next to Ephraim, while he was bound, leashed, and held firmly beneath Kaden's heel. Crouching there, she looked down at his defeated, panting expression, putting her face in her hands as a wide grin spread over her features. "Oh, this expression is perfect. This is all SO perfect. Oh my god, I can enjoy this without that hex in the way! HahahHAHAHAA!" She snorted from laughing so hard. "Hahahehehe! H-how did that feel, Ephraim, huh?! Pfft, you got dominated, bound, and leashed, l-like a dog! Hahaha! Who's the real man, huh?! Say it again! Wh-who's your alpha, huh?! Hahaha! Come on, tell us who the real man is!!""K-Kaden..." He muttered defeatedly between pants, understanding he had little else to do than to submit. Not like it offended him, he did challenge him, and he lost. He got what he deserved!"Pffthuahahaha!! Oh my god, I'm ugly laughing, haheheHEH!" She had to wipe some tears away, the great Ephraim, so utterly conquered by another man in such a way! "Oh man, this is hilarious, and kinda hot. I'm gonna think about Kaden really dominating you later, hehhee...""Heheh, yeah, you should! Never forget it, heh!" Kaden was a little too innocent to see the perversion in Alisa's eyes as she said those last words... "Just remember me stepping all over him!""Oh, I will, heehee..." That grin of hers widened. "I'll always remember how dominantly you pounded him, Kaden, heehee...""Can you stop enjoying this so much?" Ephraim grunted at Alisa. "Or at least stop enjoying it in THAT way. You're not very good at hiding when you're excited.""Quiet, dog!" Kaden pushed his shoe a bit harder in, causing Ephraim to grunt in defeat. "She can enjoy it however she wants! I... guess? I don't really know what you're talking about. But if she wants to imagine me pounding you, she's going to!""PffftHAHAHAAAAAAHA! Oh my god! HAHAahahaha!!" She was laughing like a lunatic at that one. Oh Kaden, you sweet summer child... "Th-that's right, Ephraim! Obey your alpha! Hahaha, if he commands you to get on your knees, you must obey! Heheheee!! But when you do, just try not to do what you did in this fight... CHOKE! HAHAHAHA!!!""I regret coming here." Aeon said, his voice the most flat a voice could possibly be. He'd need to find out how to disown a sister.(( OOC: ))

Possibly oblivious to them all, was the oh-so-quiet, shy princess, standing there towards the back of everyone, furthest to where the grass and sand met. She was sitting there for sometime now, a little after Carmen left and watching them all! Her focus of course, was mainly settled on Kaden, and as impressed as she was with him, she found herself quietly giggling at his sudden boost of enthusiasm. He seemed SO confidant in himself, so proud.It was pretty cute to see him like this, it was pretty rare! "I'm happy to see him so excited.." But then the icy collar came fourth, with an attached leash! This caused Teresa to blink in surprise, and confusion. Where was he hoping to go with that? I could give people the wrong idea about Kaden! Little did Teresa know, this was the second time he did this very same thing to Ephraim! "Oh gosh..! " It was a little embarrassing, collars and leashes were a Reaper thing, and usually it wasn't for being funny!
Meanwhile, in the clutches of Alisa and the other victims of the forced hug, Athena tried to look a bit over, turning her head some to her victorious wolf prince basking away in his win. And boy did he bask! "You are a rare talent against Ephraim! Is it only you of all our friends that can truly bring him down? " It certainly seemed so! Athena finally managed to get herself to release Aeon, and slip away from the hug as kindly as she could manage, before walking over to the victor once again, and giving him a big hug! He was just so cute and happy, she couldn't not hug him when he was like this! "You really are amazing, extremely so! "

It was hard not to hear the insane laughter that was Alisa! Distant worlds probably heard it! That was all it took to catch Ariel's curiosity, and off she went for the direction of all the noise! She had kind of wondered where everyone wandered off to, and to her surprise, the lot of them had gathered here! Quite the party they were having? ...or something! She glanced from Kaden, to the king, Ephraim, blinking several very confused moments. "Um........What are you guys doing? ....Why do you have him in a collar? T-That seems...so disrespectful to a king! " She would never of thought something like that would happen to one so..royal. Though, Kaden was apparent royalty too, so did that mean they could ....do strange things like that? "They are dueling, and Ephraim there is on a severe losing streak. I think, even you could beat him up yourself! " A voice came to her head, and of course, Ariel thought nothing of it, she was used to the Serenitians after all. "Why don't you challenge him yourself? You can pretend it's simple training, mm? Challenge him, you have a high chance of winning this. Wouldn't you love to let everyone see how you've improved? " "..Umm...well! I ...I do need to train more, I don't think I did very well against those monsters a few weeks ago. I tried so hard to be helpful, but ...." She shook her head, starting to walk toward them now, unclipping the small metal object at her hip she had strapped there for extra protection. She might need it against a shark or something while swimming! That small object turned into a normal sized bo staff she was able to extend, similar to Aerith's, only with the perk of being able to adjust it's size for the inexperienced Ariel! "......Can I try? " She took into acount that Aerith and Zack weren't here with everyone at this part of the island, nor was Cloud or Tifa, the only few who would see the similarities once Ariel began her attempted duel. "I want to challenge you next, ...I-um, well...! I could use the practice, so? Will you please get off him and let me try?! " She addressed the thrilled face of Kaden, only to look back to Ephraim again. "Please? And if you dare say fighting isn't for me, I'll be even more violent with you! "
