Jalon walked back to his changing room, favoring his abdomen as he clutched to it. Every breath he took was laboursome and he could not remember the last time he felt such irritating pain. Individuals he met along his way congratulated him for his victory, some wanting to ask how he was able to make the lone wolf submit. He simply gave them a forced smile and tried as much as he could to cover up the pain he was under. He finally reached his changing room and got some alone time, time to cry out for all the pain he was ignoring. He growled and groaned as he struggled to unzip the suit he had on. There was a large window to his side and as he peered outside, he could see the large screen on the stadium rooftop, displaying his name and a tag spelling out the name ‘winner’ flashing and disappearing. It gave him the consolation he needed. Luciana walked into him, changing his top, and

“ Ladies and gentlemen, she has arrived. Our own little princess. Please join your hands and assist me in greeting Princess Luciana Vonner!” said the announcer. As she made her way to the top of the platform, the crowd went wild, waving banners and posters bearing her name and face. They began screaming her name soon after.Todd's team had finished securing his protection gear around his limbs. He, too, started walking towards the platform.“And here he comes from the red corner. the Prodigy from the North,"  The announcer added, "Up against our very own princess is Aedmer Todd the undefeated!" The crowd's attention was drawn to the small boy. His entry wasn't as raucous as Luciana's, but it was still chaotic and noisy. The crowd seemed to back each of them equally, as their swaying support swung in either directi

"She's awake," Luciana heard a voice say from within her dream. she was coming to.  Jalon had snuck close to her. She fought to open her eyes and could hear footsteps rushing to the other side of the room as she did so. Someone was up to no good, she realised right away. She straightened her back and lowered her feet from the top of the bed to the ground, resting them over a pair of sandals next to it. She was blasted with an increasingly terrible headache as soon as she did so, and all she could do was clutch her head. On the other side of the room, she could hear Jalon's quiet giggles. "Can you tell me what happened?" "How did I end up here?" Luciana inquired, struggling to regain her balance.“You've been out for quite some time."  Norval tried hard not to laugh as he stated, "The medical staff brought you here after your match with th

The nurses passed out trays of hospital food as they strolled around the ward. Norval and Cecily were grateful for the nurse's thoughtfulness. Jalon, on the other hand, was not one to be easily satisfied, although he appeared curiously happy and thankful that day."What the heck is going on? What's wrong with him?" Luciana inquired, swallowing a lump of potatoes as she turned to Norval, who traced her gaze and finally found Jalon's face, smiling uncomfortably as if he had never smiled before."I understand."  Norval replied, finishing the last of the roasted beans on his platter, "I guess it's because of the nurses or something, maybe he's trying to get their number."As she began to scream at him, Luciana cleared her throat and cupped her palms over her mouth."Hey Jalon, by the way, your girlfriend called you last night, and I t

"Okay, I don't see any major issues with you. I think it's safe to say you're ready to be released. If you're ready to depart, you can leave right now " said the nurse. If you're ready to depart, you can leave right now " said the nurse.  hank you very much, nurse. You have no idea how long I've been looking forward to hearing it. Luciana remarked, "It's like I've been trapped in this room for all eternity." "Well, I'm delighted to hear you're doing well,” said the nurse.said the nurse. Luciana rose to her feet and made her way to the front entrance. "Mr. Barr, and you as well. The doctors have agreed that you are also fit to be discharged after additional evaluation.They have performed a last examination on you last evening, and they have said you can return to the hotel,”
