22 Tournament Day 1.5 + 1.75 (2/2)

”Puny wizard, I will smash you into little pieces.” He gave a smirk towards her and she let's out a high pitched ”eek!”. The announcer blasted the gun again, signalling the start.

”No worries little one, I'll put you to an end soon. Mind break.” Pink coloured waves came put from his wand. Lara stood there, legs stood still in fear. The pink waves reached her mind and her eyes went blank.

The crowd went silent, waiting for Lara to get up. Minutes have passed and she's still in the same position.

”If she's like this, I'll return her soul now.” As he got closer to Lara, her body surged up. Her braids had come undone, her silky black hair flowing. She pressed her wand against her right hand, passing some magic.

”Shadow bound.” Her yellow eyes were gleaming with light. She walked closer to the man and said.

”For every amount of light there is, there is the same amount of darkness.” The opponent tapped his wand against Lara's head, returning back her soul. Her yellow eyes blinked a few times to realised what she has done. She quickly took back her spell and knelt by his side.

”Ahh..! I'm so sorry! Were you hurt anywhere?” She started checking his body for any visible bruises. She let's out a sigh of relief as she couldn't find any.

”T-that was a go-good round...!” She gives a bow before running back into the entrance, where her sister was waiting.

Raymond waved his hand in front of me, bringing me back into reality. I stared at him with a bored face.

”What do you want.”

”My Queen looks really cute like this. It'll be great if you were mine from the very beginning.” That comment irked me as my angry bar was getting higher. Getting trapped in a cage? No way in hell.

”You bastard!” I summoned fireballs, aiming them towards him. He went ahead and manipulated them all and compressed them into one.

”Don't forget our agreement. Disobey my orders and everything gets leaked.” He threw the fireball into the sky and let it exploded into small sparks.

”You ass. I wish I didn't meet you in the first place.” He moved over to my chair, locking my legs between his. His hand tipped my chin up and smirked.

”Great because fate was destined to bring us together, dearest Queen Lilia.”
