The stage was set for fight number two, and Amara looked ready. Her muscles were relaxed as she took on a fighting stance, and water started surrounding her feet. She takes a deep breath, and as the whistle blows, she rushes to Aurora.
I have never seen such aggression from her before. Blow after blow, she's pushing Aurora back, conjuring shields to protect herself. As Aurora places another shield, Amara places her hand firmly on the ground and kicks Aurora's midsection.
" I'm gonna win," Amara yells out. She stretches her hand out, and a rush of water throws itself at Aurora.
" Ok, you little brat, fine, you finally made me upset," Aurora responds, reaching her hand out and summoning thousands of blades as they hurl themselves at Amara. Amara summons a wall of water without flinching, destroying the blades in her path.
" See, teach, while you are just a royal advisor, I am a worrier first and an advisor second," Amara says confidently, leaping into the air and punching Aurora.
"Hey, do you think Aurora doesn't know how to fight, or does she just not care?" I ask Luka watching Amara win in a one-sided battle.
" Honestly, maybe both," Luka responds as we watch Amara throw Aurora to a wall.
"Actually, I don't think she can fight after that," Luka says.
" Amara, finish this!" I scream from the stands.
She smiles, reading for the final blow, but as she runs to finish it, Aurora slashes at her cutting her leg.
" It looks ready now, kid; look up!" Aurora replies with a smirk.
Amara looks up, and the sky goes dark. Magic fills the stadium, and constructs of weapons get summoned above us.
"If you stop this, you win," Aurora says.
" Are you insane!" Amara responds.
Aurora smiles and releases the blades. As they start hitting the ground, all the mages in the building begin protecting the crowd. Amara throws up a water barrier to protect herself as thousands of bladed releases down on her for about ten seconds, then everything stops.
Me, the king, and Luka; were all amazed as Aurora passed out from the amount of magic she used, and Amara was barely standing with cuts all over her.
" The winner is Amara." The king says as medics rush to their side, ensuring both wounds are healing. I run to Amara's side.
"You better win, my king," Amara says, fighting the pain there.
That's when I knew my answer. I know what I am fighting for. I understand why all of this needs to happen.
"I am going to win," I respond, looking at the king.
" One too one, Alex, You must win here." The king says, walking up with a sword the size of his body.
