4th Royal Decree

[solarhussyalert]

[Lym went to school, she wasn't impressed with it, but she went, but when she saw the odd plants on the way home and one seemed to eat her in her own back yard she had no clue that her exact double came out, just her double had something red and vaguely sun shaped on her head pulsating magic power. Luckily it was only a copy, but still a copy of that is scary enough.]

Action - Streets of Mayfield

[See Lym. See Lym out on a walk. See Lym letting loose at a drone who didn't bow to her with a torrent of lasers.]

You really aren't worthy of a queen or goddess like me...

[See Lym continue on her merry little way]

[She groans and shakes her head a bit]

Lyon... Did Miakis dump water on me in bed?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

No, this is much worse than one of Miakis' pranks! There's an exact copy of you running around town bearing the Sun Rune. She's unconscious in your bedroom right now. Do you know of a way to remove the Rune? We need to do something fast before she wakes up again.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Uh... But the Sun rune is still in the basement I think.

I don't know how to remove it without killing.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

But I can't do that! She looks exactly like you!

[Lyon frowns.]

And it has to be the real thing. She had the same symbol on her forehead as your mother did, and I saw her use it to strike down a drone from the sky.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Lets check the basement.... Uh, is this goo going to wash off?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

We can worry about that later. We need to make sure no one's in danger first.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

No, we need to make sure the sun rune is secure first.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

I meant washing off the slime. I agree, let's check the bust.

[Lyon wastes no time in taking the lead, charging purposefully into the house and down to the basement.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[She zips past Lyon, kicks the door open and is greeted by the shiny radiance of the sun rune, then looks at Lyon.]

Uh, I think its still there.

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Then how was the other Princess...

[Lyon's eyes widen. How hard did she hit the other Lym?

And then her hand shoots up to cover her mouth as she nearly throws up from the dawning realization.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

What? Lyon, are you okay?

[She blinks and looks at her]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

We need to go upstairs.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Uh, okay, why? What's going on?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

If the Sun Rune is still here, then that means I might have killed the fake Lymsleia.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

What if she had a fake sun rune?

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

That would be even worse! Come on, we have to hurry!

[Lyon grabs the little princess by the hand, dragging her upstairs with her.]

Stay behind me, just in case.

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[Lym gets drug up in time to see the laser barrage blow the door to her room off the hinges and erks]

I didn't do that!

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Oh no, she's awake! Princess, get back!

[Lyon pulls out her sword, slowly walking into the room.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[Lym flails and drops in time for pod Lym to come into view and start screaming]

Traitor! Only after my brother's throne probably! You bring the coward here to challenge a goddess?

[There is a barrage of laser fire that seems more like a warning shot than a kill shot as Lym dives behind a couch]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

You're the traitor here! The real Lymsleia would never willingly bear the Sun Rune!

[The glyph on Lyon's hand begins to glow briefly as her Shield Rune activates, bestowing her with heightened combat ability. She's going to need it to take on the power of a True Rune.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

You are turn upon your queen? The bearer of the Sun rune?

[She points and lasers that area]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

Princess, hide! I'll deal with her!

[Lyon all but shoves the real Lym out of the room, trying to close the door behind her as she does her best to dodge the Sun Rune's attacks.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[Lym flails as the door is slammed in her face and Pod Lym glares at Lyon, rune flashing as another barrage of laser fire comes zipping at her. Luckily or unluckily it looks like the copy rune isn't all that impressive, its more like a fire rune is in comparison to the true fire rune]

[float-like-a.livejournal.com]

[Lyon does get grazed by this one, the beam tearing into her clothing and ripping a gash in her side. She yells out in pain, but tightens the grip on her sword as her Shield Rune once again flares to life and begins the process of knitting the wound closed.]

I'm warning you... stand down now!

[Even still, she doesn't expect that to work, so she's getting ready to dodge toward the fake when the next blast comes.]

[solarhussyalert.livejournal.com]

[PodLym holds her hand up to her mouth and laughs]

Nyohohohoho! If you stand down I will make your punishment be severe but fair. It is not wise to stand up to a goddess!

[More lasers]
