She was the light to this dark world…she was supposed to be perfect. “ I need to make a request. ” Folke didn’t take the warning to his heart. “ Go ahead. ” Dustin straightened up. “ I think it’s time we organize a duel between Kings.

Silas announced. Even though I felt happy since I was close to my win, I didn’t openly smile or celebrate. The door swings open and Kael steps inside in all glory. He sat at a corner, watching me like a predator after prey. “Final duel,” Silas called out. “Ayla versus Leon.” Leon was a mountain of man with a wide deceiving grin. His hands were wrapped in brass knuckles that had spiked tips. “Stop,” Kael’s voice rang out, cold and commanding. He stood up. “Drop your weapons.”

“That’s archaic…” “It’s punishment. It has to be.” Nyx finished her tea and stood.

“Son, he’s not just a fighter. He’s a monster. You have no idea what he’s capable of.” “I know exactly what he’s capable of,” Czar said, his voice tightening. “I’ve seen it every day of my life.

"Iris, I must. For you. For us. Caleb walked confidently and lazily across the clearing and into the circle. Iris's jaws twitched at the sneer he wore, his sharp eyes first fastening on her and then dismissively shifting to Aiden. Caleb rolled his shoulders and snarled, "Brave of you to show up, pup," "Too bad bravery won’t save you." The audience became silent as Damon held out his hand. "Let the duel begin." Caleb surged, a whirl of strength and threat, as soon as his hand fell. With a force that rocked the earth, Aiden and he collided head-on.

That’s all?” She shook her head, correcting herself quickly. “I mean… Zayne told me about it. But I didn’t know it was tonight. The duel’s happening at Ravenspire Road, right?

She too was holding a blue chip. “Oh my, does this mean we will be teammates?” Nellie happily asked. I “Okay everyone, now find your pairs. When you find your pairs choose a glass barrier and you may begin your duel. The duel will end when the opponent falls to the floor.” The professor proudly proclaimed. “What?” I verbally voiced out.
