The memory was abruptly cut as Rezef dealt Rufus a blow to the stomach.
"_sleep."
Orga and him fell into Morpheus' arms. She turned to the other three.
"_I like how you are trying to resist. Sleep."
Rogue fell on his knee, as Minerva winced. She put even more power into the next one;
"_sleep."
Three bodies hit the ground.
There was silence in the arena, as the people of Crocus tried to process all that had happened.
"_it seems that Nox, or should I say Rezef is the winner of the match. Midnight Fear is the winner of the Grand Magic games!"
The stadium burst into applause. Rezef nodded to the pumpkin man as the metal covering her head receded back to her neck. People could see the cut of her top under it, which oddly enough looked a lot like Sting's. The pumpkin man came down from his place with a sack of jewels and handed it over to Rezef.
"_nah," she said. "Give it to those who really need it. It's not like us spirits have the need for anything anyways..."
She turned away from a dumbfounded pumpkin man, and went back to the wounded. She bent over her unconscious friends, and her hands glowed once more.
"_heal." Minerva and Rogue opened their eyes, whilst Sting was still in deep slumber.
"_the order hit him harder than you, because I directed it mostly toward him." she told the other two awake. "Heal."
His arm twitched, as his eyes fluttered a bit before opening. She grabbed his arm, helping him sit up. He blinked a little, regaining his bearing before he noticed her next to him. She extended a hand toward him and he grabbed it, letting her pull him up. She stumbled a bit forward, their bodies closer than what should be comfortable. She gripped the fur lining of his jacket to steady herself before she crashed into him. She felt his two large, warm hands encircle her waist to help her steady. Sting then bent his face down to meet hers, before kissing her full on the lips in front of all Fiore.
Wrapping her arms around his neck, she kissed back.
