CHAPTER 5: TRAINING
Meanwhile, in Kiara's and Dies training room.
"All right Dies! No mercy for you, no mercy for me! Those are the rules. Give me your all. Don't hold back because I'm a woman," Kiara yelled dangerously.
"So be it, then," Dies said, shaking his head. He threw a sheathed sword at her and it landed point in the ground right in front of her. I don't know how he did it, but he got a sheathed sword in cement ground, standing up straight.
Kiara pulled it out of the sheath, underestimating his strength. "Now, DIE!" she screamed, lunging at him, sword point out, and forced it through his chest. Or…did she? It was actually his after appearance. It faded away quickly, and Kiara was dumfounded. Next thing she knew, she was floating in midair, struggling to move.
"Don't bother," was Dies cocky reply, as he stared at Kiara smiling. "It's a paralysis conjure, that will cause you to float in the air and paralyze you so I can deliver my finishing blow, without any interference."
"Woah, he's hard core," I whispered to Tsuni.
"He's a whole new person on the battlefield," Tsuni said somberly.
"You have only one last move, but if it's sudden, you will be electrocuted," Dies called, floating up to meet her.
As he started up, she made her move. Her middle finger flew up mysteriously.
"Interesting move," Dies said, sarcastically.
What she said next I can't write as I would have to censor it.
"Oops, forgot to paralyze that," Dies said, waving his arm. Her mouth flew shut. "Now, now, such language. Where did you learn that?"
Her eyes glided over to me.
"Oh? Well I'll have to teach her a lesson for teaching you such dirty words." Dies looked at me through the glass window that Tsuni and I were standing at. "Tsk, tsk. That's no way for young woman to act!" With that said, he took a sword raised it, and slammed it into her chest, right through her heart. She gasped, and fell over dead. Her body dropped twenty feet, then hit the ground.
"Oh my gosh!" I screamed, throwing open the door, and running in, screaming. "Kiara!" I ran to her side, and shook her shoulders, looking at her, unbelieving. She lay there, dead. And I could have done something to stop it. Why didn't I help her when I had the chance? I thought, my head screaming.
I started to breathe heavy. I now felt a raw hatred for Dies. He was gonna do what his name told him to do. DIE!!
"YOU WILL PAY!!" I screamed, flying up to meet him. I socked him in the face. "DIE YOU DUMB—!!"
"ARI!"
It was Tsuni. And look who decided to fly up and meet me. He grabbed me by my wrists, twisted them behind my back and pulled me to the opposite side of the room.
"Let go of me!!" I screamed, fidgeting. It really hurt. He had my weak points. He only squeezed harder. "He killed my best friend!"
"Her immortality will kick in, very soon!"
"Immor…tality?" I asked, and just as I asked that, I looked over, and Kiara's body was set in blue flames. When they were out, she sat up, and raised her head to look at Dies, who's nose had stopped bleeding.
"You killed me, though…how is this true?" she asked, just as confused as I was. My body tensed and Tsuni squeezed tighter.
"Do you see?" he asked, loosening his grip, "She's all right."
"How is this humanly possible?" I asked.
"It isn't humanly possible, only your Draconian side can 'bring you back,' " Tsuni explained, resting a hand on my shoulder.
"This is the weirdest, most, impossible, thing I've ever heard!" I cried, staring at Kiara's back, that had no scar or cut. Nothing.
Time's up, you two, the loudspeaker hollered, vibrating. Niiran and Kaanaxiaan, report to the training field, immediately.
"You're last name is Kaanaxiaan?" I asked, my brow furrowing.
"Yes," Tsuni said, quietly. "Is there a problem?"
"Nope. None at all." I smiled and followed him into the training arena. Kiara was now yelling at Dies now.
"Okay," Tsuni said, dropping his normal personality, and getting down to business. "Here," he called, throwing me the same sword. I inspected the blade for any flaws. It was perfect. Smooth, and sleek. Probably could cut through anything.
As I checked the blade for anything, he picked up a wooden pole. That's it. Nothing else. Obviously, my surprise wasn't hidden. What in the world was probably printed all over my face.
"Yes, it's wood. I know, I know, you don't believe that I'd use a wooden pole against a sword, but I am." Something about this obviously bothered Tsuni.
"Well, someone just got touchy," I drawled, rolling my eyes. I swore I saw a flush of color in his cheeks, because after that, I immediately cried out, "You're blushing!!"
"No, I'm not," he said, shaking his head.
"Yes, you were!!" I sang out, pointing a him. "You were too blush—!"
"Ari! That's enough!" he snapped, eyes flashing. I stumbled backward, not used to the quick change of tone.
"Yes, sir," I spat, sending an icy glare. He smirked.
"Let's get going. Lunge at me," he called, pulling the pole away. He held both arms out, waiting for me to attack. I was dumbfounded.
"Are you really that stupid?" I asked, tilting my head.
"Just do it!" he cried, and I could hear a nervous air to his voice.
"You got it!" I screamed, getting the message. I sprang forward, as easily as breathing, and pulled the sword forward, and almost slit him from navel to nose. Had he not moved. And, had he not jumped behind me and pulled the pole up so that it was across my throat, cutting off my air circulation. I was no challenge for him. I struggled for air, but it was no use. The sword I had slipped from my grasp minutes ago, so it's not like I could ram the blade through his intestines, but believe me, I would.
I had no more strength left to elbow him in the stomach. My air was fading fast. I could feel my body slipping from the world of the living. My eyes started to feel heavy, and my lungs burned like nothing before. The excellent vision I once had was now shifting in and out of focus. With a last desperate attempt, I grabbed the pole just for a gasp of air. It was no use.
I then heard a gentle whisper in my ear.
"I'm sorry, Ari," he murmured, sighing, "It was either I kill you for the first match, or they send you out to war directly after this match had you won. Next time, I'll go a little easier."
Next time?! Would there even be a next time?! Did that idiot notice I was dying?!
