All Valley Karate Tournament Novels & Stories

"Alpha King Valerius of Kethara extends his formal greetings and requests your attendance—" "His greetings," I said. "—his formal greetings, and requests—" "His greetings," I said again, quieter. "The man who killed his own Luna Queen extends his greetings." The messenger's jaw tightened. He was smart enough not to respond to that. "Alpha King Valerius will be hosting a bride tournament in Vorrath in fourteen days. A grand selection to choose the next Luna of Kethara. All noble packs are required to send eligible daughters and senior representatives."

The girl didn't seem much older than seventeen, maybe eighteen at most. Lynnette couldn't see any exact details with all the armour on her, but she could tell that this woman was not physically strong. Not that Lynnette had much of an advantage over the girl for it to make much difference. Vaughan watched Lynnette tensely for a moment, then yelled out to the crowd, “finally, we come to your favourite sport and mine! The jousting contests!” He paused long enough to give the onlookers time to show their excitement before continuing, “for our first matchup, we have the only rookies to have made it this far! On this side, we have the Lady Valarie of house Fairblossom!” Vaughan paused again, allo

“If we lose our chance to work with the Blackburn City Martial Arts Alliance, we’ll be in deep trouble!” Valery immediately explained the entire situation before the others could even open their mouths.

Even from here I could hear distant impacts from sparring matches along with occasional shouting. At least somebody around here was enjoying themselves. The door opened without warning. “Raiden.” I looked up to find Kael walking inside carrying a thick black folder beneath his arm. My beta shut the door behind him before tossing the paperwork onto my desk. “Here’s the lineup and registration files for the warrior tournament,” he said. “Date’s officially locked for two weeks from now. Rings and mats are already being inspected. We’ve got our elite fighters handling security and referee positions.”

Val was hiding something big, and I was too close to let it slip. A shout from outside snapped me alert. “Rhen! You dodging me now?” Darren Criss’s voice, loud and cocky, echoed through Sage Woods. My jaw tightened. Another fight? Val couldn’t catch a break, and neither could I. I shoved the book back to where I got it from and stormed out, my boots pounding the dirt path to the Lunar Combat Arena. Darren, a Gamma Tier bully at Rank 25, was circling Val like a vulture, his smirk wide. Val stood in the arena’s center, his small frame tense, blue eyes darting for an escape.

As I joined the line up of competitors between Rue and Val, I saw a couple of knight errants spot me, and laugh, wondering as we all were why I was there at all. “Stay close to the wall,” Rue said under his breath having seen the same exchange. “Let everyone pass and follow a safe distance behind. There’s no reason to get caught up in the melee, Daethie. Val, I’m going for the flag, can you keep an eye on Daethie, make sure she doesn’t get crushed to death in the initial rush?” “I’m not handing you the win, Rue,” Val replied. “Cara?” Cara grumbled under his breath. “I’ll watch for her,” he agreed unhappily his eyes going to an upper balcony from which our father was easily identified for his

Before long, a crisp bell chime echoed through the valley, resonating and lingering for a long time. Keagan's energy swirled around him as he soared into the air, hovering in the center of the valley. The members of the eight major royal families stepped onto the rooftops of their respective pavilions, and their gazes locked onto Keagan. "I'll spare you the usual opening speech. I think everyone here—the elites and the prodigies—are all itching to fight. "But since we have external reinforcements this time, some of you might not be familiar with the Martial Arts Tournaments rules, so I'll give a quick rundown.

Anita just looked at him and did not say anything. "You better prepare yourself as well beta,"Shane warned him as well. Shane knew how I fight more or less I guess. If she was able to see all my fights in neutral territory, I guess she already knew that none of my opponents left the ring walking or alive. "Why?" Dom asked her. Shane looked at him and said, "I wanted to warn you as well, Dominic. Luna is the undefeated champion of the tournament that was always held at the neutral territory. Almost all species that can fight join that tournament. And everyone she had a fight with never left the tournament alive." Shane explained to her mate.

Nothing’s probably gonna go wrong… right? I looked at the flier on my hand and read the details. So, it’s a combat-type tournament for ages 18 to 25. All residents of Kvenland Village are invited, so I’m expecting some affiliates of the council to participate in the competition. It was still early in the morning, so I went to the park to practice some of my moves. I settled near the playground and let myself get lost in training. *** Ah, shit. I lost track of time, and now I’m going to be late. I ran toward the arena while glancing at my watch. I was still about 2 kilometers away, but it was only 3 minutes until the registration. I ran even harder until I reached the arena.

“Obviously, they’ve sent a ringer.” Almost as if everyone’s realizing it just as Jesse does, the crowd starts to echo with boo’s, enough of them to carry out over the pounding music as the Atalaxian champion reaches the ring. The announcer, standing again at the center of the ring, looks around the room anxiously. “Ladies and Gentlemen of Moon Valley, please welcome your contender – Anton Spiriatos of Atalaxia!” He smiles widely, raising a hand up to try to elicit a cheer, but the boo’s just get louder.
