Wolverine Of Outworld

Chapter 2

The next day had passed and the whole royal family (Sindel, Sindel's daughters, and Y/N) were in the dining room  eating breakfast. Sindel sat at the head of the table. Kitana and Mileena sat in their usual spots next to each other, with Y/N sitting next to Kitana. As they ate, Sindel began speaking to the others.

Sindel: I have an important announcement that I would like to discuss with all of you. Something that we must all discuss.

The others raised their eyebrows in curiosity as they listened to Sindel, curious and wondering what this important announcement she wanted to discuss was about.

Sindel: As some of you are already well aware of, I've been grooming and preparing Mileena to take over the throne as Empress whenever the time came.

Mileena tensed up a little at hearing this, but remained calm. Mileena nodded and responded with a "yes mom" to Sindel's statement, but Y/N could tell that she looked a bit nervous and timid. Kitana glanced over and noticed it as well. Y/N cleared his throat.

Y/N: Annnnddd. Not to mention the tournament.

Sindel took a sip from her tea and turned her gaze to Y/N.

Sindel: Yes, the tournament. The tournament will be held in a week from now, and you and Mileena will both be participating in it.

Kitana and Y/N both raised their eyebrows and glanced at each other, both a bit surprised at hearing this new information that they would be participating in this tournament, along with Mileena.

Y/N: Hold on hold, you want me to participate in the tournament too?

Sindel nodded.

Sindel: Yes I do. Your combat skills have improved over the past few years, and with you by Mileena's side, I believe that the two of you can win the tournament. You both just have to be ready.

But- what if........ what if I let you down....?

Sindel's gaze on Y/N soften a bit, she could tell that he seemed very concerned.

Sindel: That's what's getting you worried? You think you're going to let us down?

Y/N just nodded, still looking a bit concerned and worried. Sindel sighed and smiled softly before speaking.

Sindel: I don't want you worried or concerned about letting us down. I believe in you and your abilities. You are a talented warrior, and I know you will do well in this tournament.

Y/N: I-I know. It's just- this is my first ever tournament I'm gonna be in....

Sindel nodded, understanding his feelings.

Sindel: Yes, it is your first tournament, and it's normal to feel nervous, but you do not have to worry, you will be fine. Remember, I'm doing this because I believe in you and I know that you are ready.

Y/N felt slightly better after hearing that, but there was still a bit of doubt in his mind.

Y/N: But....what if I still let you and the others down? What if I lose?

Sindel took a deep breath and spoke.

Sindel: My son, the first tournament is never easy, and you will not win every fight, you will not win every match. But what is important is that you give it your all and try your best. No one is expecting you to win every fight. Just try your best.

Y/N listened to her words and nodded slightly.

Y/N: Ok....I'll try. I'll try my best as long as I can.

Sindel smiled and nodded.

Sindel: That's all I'm asking for, for you to try. I know you will do alright, I know you will.
