Novel & Cerita Its Time To Duel

I watched them walk away, a sense of foreboding settling over me like a shroud. Just as they disappeared into the trees, Victor and a few of my pack members who were on stand by behind me, moved closer. They looked at me with concern, and I knew I had to explain. "Victor," I said, my voice heavy , "we have a duel in seven days. A fight to the death. Alpha Jack and I signed a contract." Victor's eyes widened, and for a moment, he seemed speechless. Then, he shook his head in disbelief. "Eamon, are you out of your mind? A duel to the death? This is insanity!"

I mumbled in a low voice, "When is the duel scheduled?" Luke answered me with a hint of excitement in his voice, "At 8 pm sharp." Noticing my unrest, he waved his hand in the air, "Don't worry, Delilah. We all know that Xander is going to win." I wish I could tell him that that's not what I was worried about. But it was useless to talk to them on this matter. Xee and Luke excused themselves to look over the so-called preparations for tonight. That left me and Adeline behind.

He was naturally at a disadvantage; however, that didn’t matter now. “Unfortunately, he would not get to do so. Look, time is up.” The Shifting Rhino Patriarch chuckled and pointed towards the stop clock. It displayed that there were only two seconds left. Seeing this, Joseph sighed helplessly. Duels were not unregulated. They were timed. Jack and Igneous had been fighting for a long time. It was only natural that the given time had elapsed. “It seems that this would end in a draw. So, you still have only one win huh,” Galbraith laughed. Next to him, Clara smiled charmingly, winking mockingly at Joseph. The latter frowned and said,

Then, with a sudden burst of movement, the duel began. The fight began with a clash of swords that echoed through the hall, each strike a testament to the warriors' skill and determination. Lucius gritted his teeth, feeling the weight of Kehola's energy-infused sword humming in his hands. The crowd leaned forward in silence, their breaths held as the duel unfolded.

I hear someone laugh beside me, and I don't have to look to tell who it is. "You look like you are going to war instead of-- Kane's words drown in Mateo's voice, and the last pair of names that he announces silences everyone. "Dylan and Kane." Oh my god! Did I hear that right? "They are the last pair for today's duel," Mateo announces. The silence doesn't thin down for a few more seconds before everyone starts chatting amongst themselves, almost clamouring as adrenaline jumps high. "So, what were you saying again?" I taunt Kane, reminding me of how he teased me for going against a predator when he is going to fight with the captain of the club.

Nina frowned deeply, glancing between me and Darius, "What kind of commotion? What are you talking about?" Heaving a deep breath, Darius confided with her about everything that happened within the last hour from Damon's unexpected arrival to the duel that was about to occur between the brothers. I expected Luna to go frantic after hearing about the duel but she remained composed like the tough lady she was. When Darius stopped speaking, all she had to say was, "When is the duel? And where is it going to occur?" Darius rubbed the back of his neck, "Nicholus has given Ember some time to think. I guess the duel will start in half an hour and it'd be happening in one of the training grounds at t

"Is that true?" I frown. "What? No. It's not true." She nudges me teasingly. "You know you can tell me anything, I won't judge." I chuckle. "I know that. I can assure you that nothing like that happened." She sighs disappointedly, continuing her report. "Then there's some people saying that Damon and Karl are going to hold a duel during weekend before sunrise." "A duel?" I ask incredulously. "Yup, a duel!" Roxie confirms. "Anyone who wins can officially have you."

Blaze stopped and emphasized the word again because Clyde and I were always fighting, there was never a day when we didn't fight. "So what we said earlier was about the duel that will take place tomorrow," Vanessa said "What duel?" I asked "Tsk. It means fighting, stupid," said Clyde "I know what duel is. I'm asking what kind of duel, jerk," I retaliated Clyde was about to speak when Drake already spoke. "ENOUGH OR ELSE--" Drake said leaving his threat in the air and I fell silent there as well as Clyde. "Duel is a battle between the two persons where they need to use their power or ability. It's like a sort of examination to test your powers. All you need to do is win against your enemy." s

He let go of me and walked up to the podium. “Great people of the midnight mirage pack!” he shouted as everywhere went silent. “As you all know, today is the D-day to decide the fate of this pack.” “Yes Alpha!” They all chorused. “Without wasting time, the duel will start in a few minutes.” Tristan paused and looked in my direction. I could tell that he was so concerned about my well-being. “You are allowed to use your wolf during the duel,” Tristan added. “The duel can start now!” Tristan concluded and left the podium.

"This isn't about size. It's about belief. He believes he's right. That makes him dangerous." I touched Dax's cheek. "I believe I'm right too. That makes me dangerous as well." --- The duel was set for the following dawn. Stone circle. Neutral ground. The Ancients watched from the shadows. The Circle watched from the walls. The Sunborn watched from the trees. Aris stood across from me, a blade in each hand. "Last chance, Luna. Disband peacefully. No bloodshed." "Last chance, Aris. Leave peacefully. No humiliation."
