Fantasy Howl's Flying Castle (Finished! ---Whoo! (*＾▽＾)／)

[Roleplay Skittle]

Lydia nodded her head slightly, the blush remaining on her cheeks and a gentle smile on her lips. She wasn't going to say it out loud, but she made a mental note to touch James' hair more often. The thought made her blush more evidently and she hurriedly tugged at the black fabric of the scarf where it lay around her neck to hide her cheeks. James was so stately in her eyes. He was tall, intelligent, confident, handsome, and so gentle but had a strong and reliable air about him. Lydia shivered gently and her green eyes widened a bit. What in the world was that? She puzzled over the sensation she just had as she realized she was staring at James as he was adjusting his hair and she turned away in embarrassment, but that didn't stop the grin that had made its way onto her delicate features.

She turned cautiously, two of her black gloved fingers raising to shift the scarf where it shielded the side of her face so she could peer back at the others as they decided the teams. She nodded shyly, though she wondered what part the summons would play and also considered Aodh. She supposed that Pond and Aodh would just join the team with she and James while Johnny's summons would help he and Echo.

Landing from his twirl, Aodh almost stayed upright, but slipped onto his side, flopping hard onto the ice. Quickly he looked around to make certain that no one else had seen him wipe out. It was at this moment that he realised that in his deep concentration while practicing the moves Chenglei had taught him, Aodh seemed to miss that everyone appeared to have gathered in Pond's majestic snow fort, and thankfully none seemed to have noticed Aodh practicing. Brushing the snow from his arm and side, Aodh thought 'I wonder what everyone is gathering for? Do I want to join them, or keep practicing? Also, where did these arches come from on the ice, I don't remember them being there before?' Eventually Aodh's curiosity won the better of him, so he skated towards the fort.

Reaching the edge of the ice, Aodh untied his laces and slipped the skates off his little feet. Walking up to the fort, the snow made very satisfying crunches under his tiny footsteps. Crossing the threshold of the fort, no, castle, no, magnificent palace, Aodh's first thought was how regal Pond appeared to be, sitting in her throne in front of all of her "subjects". He then noticed people bowing to the "Queen" and commenting on her work. Aodh decided to do the same, as he thought it was a fun little thing to do. Waddling to Pond, Aodh said, "Your Majesty, this is the most beautiful palace my eyes have ever laid eyes on. If you would permit me, I would request to defend this castle with all I can." He attempted to drop into a dramatic and elegant bow, but his legs gave out under him due to the amount of skiing he had done, and Aodh ended up landing flat on his face in the snow.

Getting up, Aodh sheepishly brushed himself off and settled for a simple bend at the waist for a bow. He over heard Jonny challenging a group of wolves, who Aodh could only assume to be his sisters, to a snow fight. Aodh wanted to join, but was unsure if it would be considered rude to ask if he could participate. Rocking back and forth on his feet, Aodh was undecided what to do. Deciding to play it safe, he seated himself at the base of Pond's throne, ready to watch the battle commence.

Pond accepted her fellow avian's gesture and with a branch gracefully dubbed Aodh her penguin knight, though when he bowed and tripped she startled and immediately bent over him anxiously. She was unsure how to pick him up as he was as small as a marshmallow to her, and was relieved when he stood up. She seemed unable to speak and mimed her actions.

Pond was about the size of a mammoth, with a wooden owl mask and she was hollow inside. She was a spirit. Her hulking back was covered with moss and growing branches, yet she seemed to be a gentle soul who happened to be in a giant body.

"Brilliant! So it shall be Chenglei, Echo, and myself, against James, Lydia, Mr. Murchadha, and my sisters." said Johnny.

These were the rules of the game: whichever side destroys the opponent's fort OR captures their flag and brings it to their own flag, they win. They could use all their spells and skills as long as they don't hurt anyone badly. James and Johnny added that if ever one of them lost, the loser's got to do what the other says.

"You gonna' drink juice from my sock and into your shoes, Johnny." grinned James.

"You gonna' take a swim in the lake, after diving on the ice with your bare skin James." laughed Johnny.

"May the best team win!"

Spoiler: Snow Fight Statistics

For this player vs player battle. The main objective is to reduce your opponent's Fortress or Castle Hp to 0. Reducing it simply means either you destroyed the fort or got the flag to the other side. If you choose to use a mag.def or phys. def. ability instead of an offensive move, if it is successful, it will always block all attacks towards you OR the ally OR the fort you are defending --- never two or all three. You can also attack other players.

For this snow fight, all the character's HP = 2. I'll explain this in more detail tomorrow. Ima sleep, but feel free to attack now. Urazek , you can ask Katsuya and Skittle if they could teach you the dice battle if you would like to know now and if they are willing. Good night, everyone!

Chenglei smiled dashingly at the bear owl summons, loving that he can make the shy creature 'blush' like that. "Tis true, sweet Pond. You astound me with your craft of creating such lovely forts and castles."

When the wolf sisters of his dear friend came in, the blond soldier nodded at them, already agreeing to the teams. His smile turned warm and sweet as the flowery aura came back with glitter everywhere. "Yes! Please join in as we need wonderful adversaries. I'm sure as Johnny's sisters, you must be as tough as he."

Echo raised an eyebrow at Lydia's reaction towards James when he mentioned something about his hair and she saw that blush. She smiled. 'Someone's hooked~!' She thought happily before hearing Johnny talk in his native language. The fawn picked up on what he was saying and grinned determinedly, happy that she understood something now.

"Right, we won't go easy on you girls." The red head supported Johnny. "Or you guys." She looked at James, Lydia, and Aodh.

Chenglei decided to join in the fun of making bets. "Young James, you have to scream out that I'm the best big brother you ever have and then kiss my cheek." Echo almost lost her composure at that, wide eyes looking at him. Does he have a death wish?!

"Um...Chenglei? Maybe without the kiss on the cheek thing..."

"A bet is a bet, Echo..."

"...Do you have a death wish?"

"No, I just love playing games." Echo shook her head in disbelief, giggling at his silliness.

[Roleplay Skittle]

Scratching the side of her nose a bit absently, she turned to face the others fully, "um... but... doesn't that make the teams a little uneven?" she gently chewed her lower lip, she'd been in many snowball fights when she was a little girl and hadn't yet gotten into magic, and even still afterwards but only with her brothers, but she had never been in one with magic users let alone had she ever used magic herself.

The bet between Johnny and James made her a bit anxious because now she felt like she had to help her team succeed without fail because she didn't want James to have to... dive into the lake... wait, did Johnny mean naked? Her eyes widened slightly before her hands flew over her face to cover the flush her cheeks had recaptured and she once more turned from the group, peeking through her fingers after a moment as Chenglei declared what his bet should his team win would be and she turned her gaze to James, her fingers still splayed around her eyes, wondering what his bet against Chenglei would be should Johnny's team lose.

Of course the fate in store for Johnny sounded a whole lot worse than what he planned for James because that's just gross. She almost thought of throwing the game, but she didn't want to subject James to any form of embarrassment that Chenglei had planned for him. As she thought about the game and each of the individuals involved came to mind, her green eyes would focus on them before moving on, her expression sometimes shifting to one of mild disgust or an amused smile as she thought to herself.

Once all was decided and all bets were made, Lydia shrugged her shoulders slightly and went to start making snowballs, going over the most beneficial and least deadly spells she could conjure in her mind.

Was that a challenge? James stood squarely in front of Chenglei and loomed above him. "Deal." he said simply, their faces inches from each other. "But if you lose, you do all that I say for a week."

[Katsuya]

Chenglei didn't back down; His smile stayed warm and princely...however...

"A week, brother dear James?" He leaned in closer as he wasn't afraid of being this close to the older Pendragon. Just an inch more. Just an inch more and the competitive males would be touching foreheads.

"My~, I never knew you love my company that much. You do know that I would love to stay beside you since we're family." He teased. "You just need to ask."

"If it's a week, then wouldn't it be fair that the time stamp on my deal be the same? An eye for an eye. If that's the case, for a whole week you have to give me hugs too. Nice ones, Little brother Jams~." Oh the challenge was so on.

Echo shook her head, her eyes wide. Are....are they going to be okay?

James' jaw clenched for a moment. "No problem." he said nonchalantly, and so the deal was sealed.

[Katsuya]

With that, the Oriental soldier grinned mischievously. "Lovely." The deal was sealed.

Echo and Chenglei went behind their snow fort with Johnny, planing on what they will do.

The fawn is planning to create huge snowballs so she can throw them to the opposing team's castle. Then use her spell 'Terra Firma' to defend their own snow fort. Echo didn't know if she should use her martial arts skills to toss multiple snowballs yet nor did she think it would be a good idea to drink her version of sake to fight.

While Chenglei was planing to use his sword to strike down the oncoming snowballs with fire and wind sickles . He will only use his enchanted sword's power on the snow itself as he believes his sword will harm someone directly. He will be hiding behind the fort for cover since he believes in Echo's earth spell.

Aodh rose from where he sat at pond's feet. He didn't see the point in making the bets that they were making, as snow battles were meant to be for fun, not super competitive. 'Oh well, guess I can try and defend the fort as best I can, shrinking the snowballs has they come flying, and repairing the walls a bit with my freeze hose. I guess I will need my backpack back from Lydia,' he thought to himself.

Joining his team, Aodh tapped Lydia's leg to ensure she was listening. "I hope you don't mind, but could I get my backpack for this snow fight? I can utilize my hose to add strength to the walls, and it gives me some added mobility. Also, are such bets necessary, I mean, it is just a snow fight after all."

Johnny's sister Chippewa howled and the snow battle begun!

Pond waved her feathery claws and the clouds above swirled down into a small snowy tornado that began to spin its way for Echo's fort; James multicast at once summoning Frey and his bees and galloped before the tornado, wand out and ready to deflect all incoming attacks to stop it; Johnny stood on the battlements of Echo's fort and with a flick of his wand, Soda the water elemental on the lake, surged forward, growing in mass until it was a giant wave; Sorbet the ice golem made hard icy boulders ready for Echo to throw.

Attack order = Lydia, Chenglei, Johnny, Aodh, Echo, James

Spoiler: Attack Order

You guys just post anytime. This just determines whose blow lands first, don't need to wait for other characters, the GM will arrange the results. This will be the attack order for the entire snow battle.

*Rolled (2d10) to see who hits first. The numbers from top to bottom belong to the characters arranged in the same order as below. Those with the highest average numbers get to go first. For those with the same average rolls, the first number determines who goes first depending on who got a higher roll.

​

For player vs player. An opposing character must roll higher than their opponent's defense (default 2 + 5+ total no. of magical defense/physical defense abilities).

If you pick an attack under the "Magical Attacks" category such as "conjuration", you must roll higher than the target's magical defense to hit successfully (1d10+ total no. of attacks of the same sub-category --- like "conjuration"). But if that character successfully performs a move under the sub-category "Magical Defense" all magical attacks done to that character (or whoever/whatever he chose to defend), either before or after his turn for one battle round, fails automatically.

Tip: So if you see a character doing a magical defense spell, it is a good idea to hit him with a physical attack.

One "battle round" is the set of posts where all of us perform one action which can either be a move that reduces the HP of one target by 1 (it is always 1), or a move that nullifies all damage done to the character or whatever he's defending, never both.

A "turn", is simply your own character's post with his action that happens "once" every battle round. Do not post whether or not your character's action was successful. Leave it open ended for the GM who will roll the dice to see if it worked.

At the end of the battle round, the GM will post the results of the attacks, after which a new round begins.

As you can see, the way battle works is similar to a turn-based RPG: movement --> action --> end of turn. For any questions, feel free to tag me in the OOC thread.

The betting between James and Chenglei seemed somewhat tenuous and Lydia's jaw clenched slightly, the whole idea made her nervous but James was confident they would win and she didn't want to discourage him so stayed silent.

When Aodh came and asked for his back, she directed him over to the little camp where she had set it down after removing it earlier when she was done trying to skate.

Lydia had been more prepared for a simple snowball fight than what seemed to be building up into friendly combat. As everyone prepared their attacks, she was somewhat dumbfounded as she sat there with her little pile of snowballs. She couldn't just sit forever though so she scrambled up onto the wall of Pond's castle and peered over to see what everyone else was up to, at the sight of Soda surging forward, her eyes widened, but it was alright, she at least had a spell that might be able to put a stop to that and cast Saggitarius A in order to hold him in place and stop him from crashing into the castle.

Chenglei closed his eyes while walking out of the fort, his hand on his trusty katana, Kurosaki. He looked like he was at peace despite the chaos that's about to ensue. Slowly he made his way into the battle field, listening to Fray's hooves crunching in the snow and Echo's faint grunts. Then once he felt like he was close enough, the blond soldier leaned forward and ran...

...past James for his real aim is at the mini tornado, drawing his sword like a flash of light and used his lightening element to slice through it!

Thanking Sorbet for the ice boulders, Echo grabbed one to toss before grabbing and throwing another one and another like a catapult. Her aim is at James' path, hoping she would startle his summons enough to stop him in his tracks.

" Frozen Lake, Baffin "​

A black hole appeared behind the giant wave, collapsing most of its surge and drawing it back before the rest of it hit Pond's snow castle. The giant owl bear dove to protect it, but it was of no use --- the icy deluge crashed down on Lydia and her. She clapped two wet claws on her wooden mask in horror as a beautiful snow tower and half the front wall melted into mush.

Clang!

Chenglei's sword struck James' shielding charm; lightning sparks flew, flashing blue against the snowy twister that curved and ravaged the outermost wall of Echo's snow fortress; Johnny who rode on Butters leaped down the ice, but got caught in the wind and flung into the lake; Pond released her spell immediately and the tornado dissipated.

"Baaaaa!" bleated Butters as the giant ram and Johnny splashed into the icy cold waters.

James fleche guarde spell slowed Echo's catapulted snow boulders long enough for Frey to dodge them. He changed course and galloped immediately to help Johnny, while his bees searched around for his wand that he had dropped when the tornado caught him. He spotted it along the way and urged Frey on so that he could grab it before anybody. His best friend without a wand will make him useless in this fight.

Johnny meanwhile was spluttering. Sorbet came lumbering out of the fort to help him, but he yelled, "Freeze, James!"

"I'm trying to help you!" said James.

"And defeat me at the same time, I see you looking at my wand --- bloody trolls it's cold!"

Lydia didn't even have time to cry out as the icy water hit her, instinctively holding her breath as well as trying to find purchase on a section of the wall so she didn't get swept away. When the water flowed away, she drew in a deep shuddering breath, her hands pushing her soggy scarf back off of her face. Her gaze turned towards the lake and Johnny in the water, this was turning serious. She determined that it was highly likely they would all be sick when this was over and James just got over being sick.

She hurriedly scrambled into a position where she could actually stand on the wall again and unraveled the scarf from around her face and head, it was doing no good other than to put extra weight on her neck, "Pond! Let's make a water spout!" Lydia thought that maybe it would be less dangerous if she melted enough ice with one of her fire spells for Pond to use her tornadoes to pull the water out and send it after the opposing snow fortress, she cast Rain of Fire on a section of lake opposite where James and Johnny were so they wouldn't get caught up in the veritable hurricane that was about to happen if Pond was up for it.

Chenglei grunted when he felt his sword hit James' shield. He twisted his wrist so he wouldn't get hit by anything else. 'Got to count my lucky stars that I did not get hit by that.' The blond thought, now observing what the chaotic mess has caused. When he realized that James is distracted and Lydia about to make a spell, he took his chance. Ash purple eyes steeled over while he smiled, drawing his blade again...

...instead of it being covered with lightening, Kurosaki is glowing bright like a flame: Red inside with orange and yellow over it, and on the edge is a thin blue line. "Mind if I join in the fun of burning things, Ly?" He teased as he slashed towards the castle, his fiery blade summoning flames to lick on the snow that's part of his enemies' territory. His eyes highlighted by the flames' light.

Echo quickly came out of the fort when she saw Johnny and Butters being flung into the lake, running towards them so she can help them out too. However, when she noticed James' look, her eyes narrowed in suspicion. Her green eyes spotted Johnny's wand...and it's close by.

"Oh no you don't, James." She muttered quietly and took a quick turn, snow flurried a bit as she stood in front of Johnny's wand and in James's way. Then she casts 'Terra Firma' to make the ground stretch out to Johnny so he can grab onto it and pull himself up.

She positioned herself in a Muai Thai stance: Her arms bend, one in front of the other, covering her chest and face, her fists clenched lightly as one of her legs was pulled up in front, looking like she's ready to either kick or knee Fray and James if they come any closer and finish them off with a punch.

Her green eyes burned as she dared James to try and grab Johnny's wand before her boyfriend can grab it first.

Aodh ran to grab his backpack, but by the time he had grabbed it and put it on, he already missed part of the battle. Sliding as fast as he could back to the castle, he found part of the wall collapsed, and felt a pang of sorry for seeing Pond's creation being destroyed. A climbed atop the tower next to Lydia to get a better vantage point. Seeing the battle field he realised that this was no ordinary snow fight, especially since there was a slash of flame aimed at the castle, originating from Chenglei. 'What is he thinking, that could seriously injure someone,' he thought to himself. Jumping off the wall incase his plan didn't work, Aodh got into position. Aodh started spraying a wall of ice between the flames and the castle, making it thick enough to hopefully stop the flames from reaching their base.

Pond nodded at Lydia, standing ominously. She will end this battle for the sake of her snow castle! Their combined attack sent a spout of melted snow crashing on to Echo's undefended fort, melting half of it into puddle; Chenglei was too fast for them and before they knew it a fiery phoenix burst into flames from his sword and obliterated half of Pond's castle too, melting away Aodh's fortifications. The owl bear waved her giant arms in alarm.

Meanwhile, Johnny pulled himself up on the ice, shivering, and when looked up to see Echo in her stance, he muttered, "Wow, you're cool --- ohnopeJames!" he lunged for his wand.

BAM

Echo's counter attack hit Frey's lowered horns and the blow shattered James' shields, knocking them both back; and yep, Johnny got his wand and whooped, pecking Echo's cheek before with a swish of his wand, blossomed up Soda from the waters and into a gigantic wave again; his sisters saw the kiss, but they seemed to not be wanting to join the battle and just sat on their haunches staring at the magnitude of it all. This was not a snow fight in their eyes --- this was some kind of snow war.

"Their fortress is almost gone, let's finish this, Echo!" said Johnny, and sent Soda surging forward with Sorbet hurling frost at Lydia and Pond.

"No, you don't!" yelled James, and jets of light shot out from his wand as he multicast protective spells on Pond's snow castle. "I got our fort covered, Lydia, Aodh!"

Chenglei smiled dashingly at Pond, Lydia, and Aodh, his katana glowed bright as the fire bird dissipated after melting the snow. He can see the hot steam coming out of the area. "After this war is done and over with, My lady Pond, I shall give you my word to help you build another." He never did like making a woman sad or panic, summons or not. His ash purple eyes glittered in amusement when he watched his friends go crazy.

This is why he loves games: People tend to go nuts when they are really into it.

Noticing who his team is aiming at, Chenglei decided to attack James, as he is the one who keeps putting up shields and with summons as help like his dear friend. Once again his sword glowed, though this time a mint green color on the edge of the blade. He let's out a barrage of wind sickles towards the older Pendragon, aiming to only scare or startle Frey or him, enough to break his concentration on the shields.

Echo countered Frey's attack with a kick to the left and then punched James' shield, watching it shatter like glass. She grinned apologetically to the pair she knocked away before perking up, feeling someone kissing her cheek. Her green eyes looked over at Johnny and blushed red, smiling silly. Then she shook her head, mentally scolding herself. 'Not now!' She thought, even though she wanted to cheer; not for winning against James, for getting a kiss from Johnny after such a long time with no kisses and hugs and cuddles...

A girl needs to have cuddles with her boyfriend, for Merlin sake! Well...for her anyways.

"Right!" Echo responded determinedly, setting her sights on the castle, knowing that her kicks are strong enough to break through James' shields from past experiences. Quickly running towards the castle, she took out a small gourd, popping it open with her mouth and drank the tasty sake that's inside. Once she was close enough, hiccuping as an unnatural flush spread across her cheeks, the red head giggled; moving around in such a silly manner even going so far as to roll on the ground at some point like she tripped or something but...

She swayed her hips and arms like it was fluid water and strikes the castle with her palms, creating a loud slapping sound when it landed. It's what she learned from Master Mushi, the large Panda who knew how to fight when drunk from Sake.

Aodh watched with a twinge of sadness as his wall of ice failed to protect the castle. He was about to start covering the fort in ice in hopes of adding more protection to it, but when James yelled that he was covering the fort, Aodh decided to go on the offensive a little. He couldn't do much to attack the enemy base directly, but he could sabotage the enemy players. Aodh wasn't sure how he could really block any of the magical attacks that were the main issue. He looked around and saw Chenglei attacking James with a green glow from his blade, and that is when an idea hit him.

Charging up his shrink ray, Aodh charged towards the blonde soldier. Raising his gun, Aodh lets off a few shots, aiming at the sword. Even if none of his attacks hit the soldier, they would at least draw his attention for a moment. That way the soldier wouldn't be focused on attacking the fort, but defending himself.

[Roleplay Skittle]

Madness. This was all madness. It wasn't a snow fight, it was a 'friendly' magic battle. Lydia didn't really blame Johnny's sisters for sitting it out, even though their help would have been really appreciated. Lydia sighed and looked out on the battlefield that had once just been a peaceful lake. Everyone was on the lake. Lydia perked slightly. Everyone was on the lake. A broad grin developed on her features, which Johnny and Echo likely caught. Lydia could only hope that James and Aodh could keep up the defenses of Pond's castle long enough for her to succeed.

Lydia looked around for one of James' bees and once she caught its attention and called it over, she told it that she was going after the flag and that the rest of them so meet her in the fort on the other side so they could carry the flag back. Once James was made aware, she turned to Pond. Now for the hard part, "Pond! Direct a tornado through the wave and throw me into it!"

This was the hard part because for one, she had to convince Pond that it was okay to throw her into a tornado and for two, she had to actually ride the tornado to the other fortress and focus enough to cast Rain of Fire on the fortress, and somehow get out of the tornado and claim the flag. Plus she wanted Pond to direct the tornado through the wave that Johnny was sending their way.

Once Pond was convinced and the plan was set into motion, Lydia braced herself. This was a piece of cake compared to some of the stuff she had committed to in the past.

Pond's tornado and Soda as a giant wave collided with a booming splash that flung a rain of freezing water everywhere, and one could just make out a figure in black flying out of it and towards Echo's fortress, at the same time James yelled, "Pond --- why'd you --- no, Lydia, you loon!" and he went white as a sheet and galloped where Lydia had landed.

A light from Aodh's shrink ray shot Chenglei's sword and it suddenly shrunk down to the size of a twig before the wind sickles were released, and instead little puffs of wind spun out and just disappeared after a few feet.

"Nice one!" yelled James at Aodh as he galloped by. Remembering that if they lost he was going to be giving the oriental a kiss on the cheek, he pointed his wand behind him and cast fleche garde on the fort that'll hopefully slow Echo's and Chenglei's physical attacks long enough for him to bring Lydia with their flag to Pond's castle.

BOOM

Echo's attacks blew away most of the snow castle until one solitary tower with the flag underneath remained; Johnny sort of didn't want to destroy it as it was Pond's last remaining beautiful tower. Instead, he snatched the flag as he rode on Butters and galloped back to their fort. Pond sighed in relief.

Urazek , if you look at James' rolls, you'll see that success now depends on whether he gets a roll between 1-7. This is how we usually do battle, which isn't Player versus Player. (7 success = default 2 + 5 conjuration abilities in James' CS).

Katsuya , Roleplay Skittle , whatever attack you guys decide to do to help you get the flag on time to your own forts will metagame-wise damage the HP of your opponent's fort. For James, he cast a physical defense guard on the fort, so metagame-wise physical attacks won't work in getting Pond's flag to Echo's fort if he succeeds in this defensive move.

Chenglei gasped when Kurosaki shrunk in the size of a twig, looking like he's mourning for losing a friend. "Oh no...." He looked like a kicked puppy with the way his watery eyes shimmered. Then he shook his head and got his head in the game. Whatever! It's end game time and he needed to do something...

And that's to tackle James off of Frey. So he did just that; Chenglei would tackle James and Lydia once they got back to the leftover tower.

Echo, being drunk as she was, aimed her kick at the last tower. Not really thinking right at the moment. After this whole snowball war, the fawn would probably feel bad for destroying Pond's last tower.

" Frozen Lake, Baffin "
​

As Johnny galloped across the frozen lake, he saw Frey leaping down the walls of Echo's snow fort with Lydia and James on his back with their flag; then Chenglei dashed forward, saw him attempt to tackle the two as the silver white stag swerved --- he knocked James off and the two fell on the snow, but Lydia was still safe and was casting!

"No, no, no!" said Johnny. He did not want to drink juice from James' sock, and urged Butters forward; Behind, Echo's drunk kick was foiled when Pond quickly picked her up, and then ---

BOOOM

A rain of fire completely destroyed Echo's snowy fortress.

After Lydia had landed in a pile of snowballs that the others had previously made for the battle, she couldn't help but smile. Of course the little pile of snowballs that she had made for the battle... which in the end was useless, was nothing compared to the mound she quickly scurried out of in order to get the flag. She had already been previously drenched from the first wave of icy water that Johnny had sent crashing down on Pond's castle, so while the ride in the tornado had been a wild one, her hair frizzed out in every direction, little icicles stuck here and there to the black strands making them look a little gray, it didn't really make matters any worse for her.

She sniffled as she grabbed the flag, her face lighting up despite it's disastrous state as James appeared and she had mounted Frey behind him. She held on as tight as her numb limbs and fingers would let her and as they galloped away, she had casted her rain of fire on the fort to insure their success. It was a good thing to since Chenglei knocked James off and Lydia continued casting, her spell going off.

She couldn't help feel a little bad at the destruction she had just caused, but she raised the flag up in the air triumphantly, not that it mattered anymore and laughed slightly, sniffing again and reaching into her coat for her soggy handkerchief... which wouldn't really do any good, but at least she saved James from having do dive naked into the lake as well as saved him the embarrassment of showing what would be relatively awkward affections for Chenglei.
