Here what happened before Eskia became queen

"Why...why did you do this?" Eskia asked, her voice shaking as she looked at the elder women who was looking at her claws in annoyance.

"Because the brat decided to mouth me off during a press conference. She should know her place." The cruel queen, Carla sneered, grimacing at her Eldest Daughter face. "I don't know why waste your tears on her." She said nonchalantly.

Eskia was gobsmacked, her mouth gaped as she stared at the older women. Did she not care she almost killed her flesh and blood? Did she nit care that Moline suffered? Did she not care that she almost made Moline mute? "Mother....you were gonna send Ques...ques who were 11 who didn't have the battle training yet out to try and raid the storm kingdom...Yes she never should mouth off but this...you were risking citizens lives all because one Storm kingdom Peasent insulted you...They said you had ugly horns and you were gonna start a war over that?" Eskia asked, trying to sew what her mother had taken for her to do this.

"It about respect. Your sister wanted to get 'help' those useless burrurs." Carla spat, glaring at Eskia. "Why shouldn't I done that?"

"Because she your daughter! Your own child! She never asked to have super strength or show nightmares! It not her fault! She not a curse! She a child! You are the curse! You are the monster, torturing, humiliating and trying to execute your own child all because she dared try to stop a unneeded battle!" Eskia roared, her voice raising an octave as she shook, her distraught and pain turning into Boling Fury. Her mother dare do this and doesn't see what she did wrong?! 

"Don't you dare speak to me you little brat! I could have killed her for all I wanted! You will never disrespect me again!" Carla scrowled as she had walked to her child and raised her hand, swinging it down to strike her.

Eskia caught her her hand. For once Eskia caught her hand and while Eskia held a moment of shock it was quickly ruled over by...hatred. hatred, Fury and guilt.

"No...no you will NEVER disrespect us again!" Eskia growled, her voice low as vines started to grow out of her skin and around her mother arm, digging in the frightened older women face but Eskia didn't care. She didn't care about her mother anymore. "I challenge you to a Ra sha duel! I, Princess Eskia of the Rain Kingdom challenge you Queen Carla for the throne! It will be a duel to surrender or to the death! No powers only our natural Claws and teeth and artificial weapons! Do I make myself clear?" Eskia asked, her eyes burning. It was hotter than the lava in the Burning Kingdom but more brutal then the Buzzard snow. It scorched like the Storm sand but it flourished like the Rain trees.

Everyone was shocked silence. A ra sha duel was a ancient duel that was made in situations. It was an ancient duel where the winner ruled the kingdom or gave it up. Carla eyes widened as her eyes flickered to the maids, nobles and knights who looked shocked and scared and...curious? If Carla were to quit she could be seen as a coward and even her most loyal nobles won't help. They would flock to Eskia, making her loose support and without it she won't keep her throne. Maybe her daughter will finally see clarity when the duel actually starts. 

"Very well. You have yourself a duel dear daughter. I do hope you bring your best and not try to cry in front of the court. If you win you shall rightfully gain the throne." Carla said, harshly yanking her arm away, ignoring the pain of the thorns. "But if I win." She grinned and leaned into Eskia ear. "Moline skull would make a perfect cup wouldn't it?" She said, twisted pleasure and joy itched in her voice and mind as she took hold of Eskia face shifting into horror. "Do well." Carla grinned and with a swift step, walked to the doors and slammed it shut, leaving her Eldest horrified and with fear. 

'Dear Ephy, please don't let me loose and if I do please protect my siblings.' Eskia thought as she fell to her knees.
