We enter the main tunnel.
"You should let him go" she addresses grabbing a guard twisting his arm and kicks the back of his leg making him kneel. I still don't believe that he did this. I grab onto the other one's head tightly saying "Maverick, I know." Blaire makes a face before knocking out the guard with the back of her hand.
"Not him, who gives a damn about Maverick. I'm talking about Kylian." Why is she concerned about him? Why did Maverick leave? Out of reaction, I brought the guard's head to the wall, knocking him out. "I don't think that's any of your business. He's my best friend, why should I let him go? Not sure why I am even explaining this to you."
Blaire follows behind me grabbing my arm, "I would let that go if I were you. Those claws won't be the only thing I'll be wearing. Don't test me." She lets go of my arm keeping her posture straight.
"Because He likes you matter a fact in love with you. By the way he looks at you, I can tell. If you don't like him then don't lead him on. Give other's a chance with him since you obviously don't want him" she walks off to another hall that led to the arena. Yelling and roaring fills the area. Anything that you could think of is here. Holding their money. I kissed him. we grew up together. Can I really break that? Maybe she's right. I should do it before things get out of hand.
Screaming caught my attention. My body push through the crowd to the front row. Inside the dome was a Eiranian laying in the dirt, a changeling over her holding her heart in its hand. It screams in victory. Another one.
You're losing...You won't save everyone.
How many halves to die till you know that you are not capable?
I held onto Blaire's arm stopping her. 'She's too far gone.' Nudge my head up to the sky box where a man in burnt orange attire smoking and Chief Neka standing next to him. The man drops a bag of coins in his hand.
"That son of a – "she stops herself glancing over at the dead Eirenian as guards drag her body out.
"What will I tell her brothers now?" she questions softly. Death will find us all. Her voice rings through my head. Where are you?...
The room goes dark...
A goblin appears from the top of the room with a blue light over it. The platform enters through a door inside the top of the dome. In a deep voice, it announces "Now presenting on my right is a loyal resident, a killer, a hideous monster" most creatures around us started laughing. The announcer continues "he brings no mercy. A stickler for fish his prey out of water. Beware of his burns...cause their cold. I give you... Icey!" a man in chains all over enter the dome. The guards remove the chains closing the gate behind him.
"We have a new competitor. A symbol for death. Killing up the ropes. Leaving a feather on your gravestone. But can she put Icey to rest? I give you... The Cawler!" On the other side, The Crow is push into the dome. Cuts and bruises all over her body. It seems that feathers on her arms have reduced in their numbers, but her talons vigorous.
Her feathered hair was laid over to the side. I step closer to the dome clutching the metal. We make eye contact. Hold on. She nods her head looking at her opponent.
The troll in the middle starts clapping his hands as the crowd follows with stomping. On the third clap, the troll lets out an alarming screech letting the fighters know that they can start.
"We don't have a lot of time". I pull my hood up walking backwards until I was a couple feet away from the guards, who was standing in my way. An Octo with multiple drinks stood next me screaming along with the fight. I grab one the drinks from its tentacles. Octo's are creatures have similar features to an octopus hence the name Octo.
"Hey that's mine" it claims looking getting closer to me. My foot comes forward bring us closer with my head titled "Don't you have like 6, I'm sure you won't miss one" pressing my blade against it slightly hiding it under my cloak. "Have it, I'll just get another one".
I slide past it and continue walking until I hunched over pretending to throw up. Blaire hurries beside me grabbing my arm and brings me to the guards "Hate to be a bother but my friend really needs the bathroom. She had to many "she said looking at the guard.
"Sorry but no one can be in here. Try the bathrooms over there" the tree like guard suggested pointing to the bathroom over on the other side. Blaire brings me up higher as I lower my head therefore, they can't see my face. "But the bathroom is full and I'm not sure how long she can hold it".
"Hold what?". The guard started to lower himself to see my face when he came into view, I pour the drink out onto the ground making it seem like barf.
"That" she said pointing to it. The guards step back, one of them hit the other "Clean that up while I take them to the bathroom" he commanded leading us down the hallway. He stops by the nearest bathroom opening the door "Make it quick". We entered the bathroom shutting the door behind us. I placed the empty glass down pulling my hood off.
"What's the plan?" Blaire asked looking around the bathroom in digest. There is trash everywhere, a few wanted posters on the wall each with a character. Whoever drew these were too invested. One of the drawings had an ogre with a curly mustache and very thick eyebrows. It resembles to children's illustrations that Kylian and I used to read to each other as kids.
The glass I had earlier found itself on the floor in a million tiny pieces. My body flung itself toward Blaire grabbing onto her shirt "Sorry, just play along... So, this was your plan! To get me drunk enough that I would forget that you slept with him!". Blaire grabs my hair yelling equally "Again, you guys weren't together and let's not forget what you did at the academy with Nathaniel". The guard from before came in trying to stop the fight, Blaire falls down crying. "It's not that bad, if you guys wanted to fight take it to the dome" she said trying to help the Eirenian up. Once the female guard got closer, Blaire spins her left leg closer to the guard which sweeps under her body knocking her to the floor. I take out my weapon which is in its case budding the guard near me in the back of the head.
Blaire steps over the body opening the bathroom door to leave and states with a hint of aggravation in her approach "next time fill someone in before you handle this beauty" she jesters to her figure. We should probably hurry before anyone come in. The guard's unconscious on the floor were placed in a stall together with the sign "Out of order".
Ten minutes has gone by. Another guard's body drop to the ground next to me. I take out my sword from his body which is hard to do because of the bark covering on his back.
Suddenly, I felt my body crash into the wall. A sharp pain course through it. I couldn't move my left arm. The troll wooden creature pulls the spike out from my shoulder. Blaire charges at the beast but is thrown into the wall across from me.
"Boss will be pleased with you" it states smiling sinisterly. The lanterns in hallway amongst the wall were flashing different colors has a loud siren goes off. They know we are here. It's sticks out its tongue licking the side of my face. Blaire was laying there unconscious. When shifting in and out consciousness, the troll throws me over its shoulder while dragging Blaire by the arm. In its chest was one of the stones in the dome.
It brings us to a room tossing us on the floor in front of someone. Chief Neka stood on the side grinning. "You caught them" he said. The man in the orange attire stood up tossing his cigar at the troll which eats it. He walks towards me lifting my head with his hand "I told you not to damage the merchandise. Oasis is not going to be happy... you're the sun barrier that everyone raving over" he states titling his head examining me it seems, "Nothing much though. I don't see the appeal. Sorry, we can't make our first meet as comfortable but hey money calls". Up close, his breath reek of cigars and some kind of fusion alcohol. He wore gemstones over his shoulders with his pig curled hair back in a bun. When he wasn't paying attention, I bring my hand close to him as a speck of light appears, but he steps on my hand crushing it with his foot.
"Ahh...ugh" I groan in pain. He squats down removing his foot "Not so fast. We haven't even gone to dinner, but I leave you a treat, Foster is the name, and money is my game" he snickers standing up.
Everything is blurry. I laid my head down looking over at Blaire, she lost a lot of blood. You're not dying this way.
Boom!
A big explosion shook the ground. From what I could see, Eiranains came rushing in attacking the guards. Kylian steps over the rumble fighting the man in the orange attire. As everything was carrying on Chief Neka took it as his chance to flee with the money. I can't keep my eyes open anymore...
