Soulmates are a funny thing. Words on your skin that match another. Aife was no different. The words written on her wrist are 'Two Demons' in Arabic.

Aife laid in a wooden bed questioning if she should or should not just break out of the league. She would have to find Damian in whatever he was being held. But she could just cast an illusion spell on the halls and walk past everyone. Tho, that drains energy and God knows how big this place is. She sighed with the added fact that she had no idea where to start looking, realising it would be a much worse plan than doing the one she was already doing. She looked at the outfit that hung on a hook in the wall. A league asseian outfit for traniess. At least that is what she overheard. According to Taila, someone would knock on her door and then she should change. Aife figured they had cameras in her room, or at least people somehow watching her. If they saw her scars it could throw the whole thing off. What excuse could she use for whip scars? She already had to tell them she lost her arm in a car accident. Not a complete lie but still.
Said knock on her door happened and she got up and opened the door. Two women stood there. They pushed her out of the way and grabbed the outfit. She looked at the two. Faking fear in her eyes. However, she would much rather be glaring at them for pushing her. The one holding the outfit throws it at her. Aife catches it and looks at them. "Change," One said as they then left. Aife turned her head to the now closed door. She went to a wall of the room and changed, her back pressed against the wall.
Sure she had scars on the front of her body. But they were all scars one could explain from a car crash. Her back not so much.
After she changed she was going to sit back on the bed. But she never could. Because the second she was done the door opened again. Which was either a coincidence or they were watching her.
She followed the two people who had walked into her room to tell her to change. They find themselves in a training room. Damian sat in the league's clothes next to his mother. He was giving her a side-eye-death glare. His grandfather sat down on a throne. Aife wanted to make fun of the scrawl on his face because it was starting to look like he was constipated. But decided against it as she was still playing the 'I can't do anything without my soulmate'. Aife was pushed to the ground. Or well they tried to push her to the ground from the back. Aife faked falling. She had a strong body, it was hard to push her over. When she looked up Damian was now death glaring at the one who had pushed her. Aife wanted to smirk or let out a chuckle. But she did not. "Young Lady," Ra started. "You are going to fight for your place here," Eight people walked out after he finished. Aife was going to fight the eight people. She was coming up with a plan. Was she going to fight them properly? Was she going to stay on the defence or finish this quickly? "Stand," Ra says. She stands. The two next to her turned and left out the door we left. Aife looked at the eight people. Seven men, one woman. Four of the men were very buff. The other three were still buff but they looked flexible. The women looked similar to the three men.
They slowly started to circle her. (Pre-warning I will probably suck at writing the fight scene) Aife decided to fight but not kill. In all honesty, Aife was done playing 'I need my boyfriend.' She didn't need him she wanted him. There is a difference. Aife lowered herself into a slight stance. She was stronger than them most likely. And they were all around her, she was going to have to be able to move quickly. Four in front of her three behind.
Two people in front of her moved closer to her but someone behind her moved quickly to her. Aife sidestepped to dodge them and punched the man on the back of the neck effectively taking him out in one swing. This seemed to trigger the other 6. Aife fought them all. One of the people swung a right hook at her. Aife grabbed the arm and broke it. Twisting the now broken arm around the man's back and kicked him in the spine. She throws him at another man trying to attract her from behind. She then knees someone in the ribs and punched his face in. Aife spun around just in time to catch the woman's arm. Aife pulls the woman closer to her and on purpose falls backwards. She brought her feet up and kicked the woman's body over her body. Aife rolled over her shoulder and bounced back upright. She turns to see the woman running at her again. Aife grabbed her and through her at a man trying to get to her. Two men attract her at the same time. Aife dodged the two as she started to dance around the two. At this point, she was just playing with them. Granted she had thrown two people at the other man so he was down for at least now. Aife grabbed one of the man's shoulders and jumped over him. She flung him across the room. She did this for no reason, besides she found the move fun and didn't get to do it as often as she wanted. The other man tried to get her. She played block the attract for a bit. Till she decided that she was bored. Aife flung her legs around the man's neck and used her momentum to throw the man down. She then got on top of him and punched the man in the face. Effectively knocking him out. The final man, the one she had been just throwing other people at, came and tried to kick her. Aife caught the leg and then took the guy down. The force with which she threw him down knocked him out.
Aife stood up and bowed at Ra. Then smiled at Damian. In hopes to show him she was okay. Damian was glad she was ok. And he was also feeling really proud that she was able to bet all the people. Tho, he knew she wasn't going to lose.
