Final battle ultimatum.

The city of Talia fell into silence after the battle outside the gates. There were rumours that the true Queen was alive and had come to reclaim her throne. Freya and Cassabdra looked at the order just recieved from Queen Arerto's headquarters telling them to hold on present positions. Jasmine and Killiane had recieved the same orders. The one exception was Jasmines troops had advanced as far as the main gate to relieve Katherine's marines. The city to all purposes had been taken and just the Palace remained in enemy hands surrounded. Chasin had looked over her city now in the hands of Arerto'S forces in deep anger. Cressida had betrayed her telling her the war was going well and now she was on the brink of a final defeat. She had believed her sister was dead anither manipulation made by Cessida. Yes she did not need much manipulation to take the throne but to hear that her sister was alive and mad scared her.

Arerto had sent for Freya and Cassandra and they all rode to the city where they met Jasmine, Killian and Katherine in Jasmine's command tent. "I am going to end this fighting. I will challenge Chasin to a one on one fight to the **** and the winner takes the crown." said Arerto. The others looked at her and although wary they said that it would save alot of lives. She handed Freya a sealed parchment to be opened in the event that she was killed in the fight. Arerto dismissed her friends then dressed in her battle armour along with her helmet and sheathed her sword and prepared to go to the palace to see Chasin. She was escorted to the palace by her friends and then after a pause and a quick talk with the guards Arerto was allowed into the palace. She was taken to the throne room to meet with her enemy. When they entered Arerto saw Chasin sat on the throne with the crown upon her head looking smug on the surface.

"Greetings sister i would say its good to see you alive but i would be lying" said Chasin. "We are not sisters anymore you are a traitor to the people of Freeconia. However i am willing to give you a chance. You are surrounded the mercaneries have deserted you and all you have are the palace guard so your choices are surrender and stand trial which will most likely result in your ****. Second you agree to a final battle to the ****. It might sound like a good outcome but atleast with the second option who might survive." said Arerto. Chasin cracked a smirk as she considered what Arerto had said then agreed to the fight. The fight would be the next day in the cities arena and Arerto turned and walked out of the throne room not once looking back as she left. She rejoined her friends and informed them of the meeting and then went to mentally prepare for the very real possibility that tomorrow she would have to kill her sister.
