Within seconds he was in the air, fire sword coming down at full speed. I put up my hands and covered my face.
No! Hold them out!
My hands went in front of me and when the sword was just about two feet away from me, my hands clapped together and the sword was caught right in between. It took a full nanosecond for me to realize the sword was on fire and that not only was my hands are burned but it will be badly cut. There was a gasp among the crowds and I tried with all my might not to scream out in pain.
Good…now absorb…
Absorb? I imagined absorbing energy and felt something flowing within me. A surge of power. I guessed Blaze noticed because he jumped back immediately.
“What was that all about?” He asked, “Are you crazy?”
I looked at my hands and noticed my wounds were healing. I looked back up at Blaze and smiled deviously.
“Time to get rough eh?” I chuckled and ran full speed at him.
He dodged as usual but I expected him to do so. I stopped mid-step and did a round-house kick. I put all my energy into the kick. My foot landed on his side and he flew practically thirty feet from me. He landed face first and slide a few more feet. I created those air/ energy whips again and ran full speed at him. He got up rather clumsily and almost dodged my attack…almost. I jumped back quite satisfied and waited for him to get up again.
He chuckled, “Now it’s getting good.”
He ran at me full speed with another weapon in his hand. It was an axe this time. As usual fire engulfed the head of the weapon. The axe was in the air when my Dragon started to talk right again.
I want you to absorb this energy too…
I sighed and mentally replied, “Again. With all due respect I would like to come out of this alive.”
Trust me, and this time let him attack and try to absorb as much energy as possible. I want this boy done in one blow.
“You’re crazy.” I muttered as I positioned myself for the next attack. He was coming at me with the weapon in the air and as expected fire engulfed the head of the axe. I gulped wondering how long the pain will last when I try and catch Blaze’s attack.
He screamed his warrior cry as he swung his axe towards me. This time he aimed towards my side. I turned around quickly and had the air around me move close to my hands. They moved in swirls around my palms to cushion the impact. I caught the blade and slid back a few feet. Deep long gashes were running across both of my palms. I could feel the blade cut deeper and deeper. I imagined absorbing the force that was impacted against my hands. I bit my bottom lip trying not to scream out in pain.
Okay, just a few more blows and we should be set…
I willed air to push past me and blow Blaze away just enough so I could heal my hands. I blew on my hands and the shimmering blue color glowed around my hands. My breath was really cool for some reason. I blew on them again and noticed ice was forming on my hands.
You’re able to breath ice.
I grinned, that’s cool. I get to be like Blossom from the Power Puff Girls.
Don’t forget about Blaze…
I looked up and noticed Blaze charging right at me yet again. I couldn’t move fast enough. I fell flat on my back and noticed Blaze looming over me, sword pointed at throat. I felt the sharp edge of the sword poke the skin. Tempting to break skin.
I heard the crowd start chanting, “Finish her, finish her.”
I gulped, “Well you heard them Blaze…finish me.”
That’s when I realized a gold aura around him. Huh he’s using his Dragon’s powers too. His irises were in constant motion, with the mixture of brown and gold. His eyes had a hint of struggle in them and his face was contorted with indecision.
Let him hit you…
What?! I internally yelled, are you trying to get me killed?
No, I promise you won’t die. You just need to absorb this last blow and then we can be done with this silly battle.
“You’re talking to your Dragon.” Blaze breathed.
I just stared at him and slightly nodded, “Take the hit Blaze…finish me. I dare you!”
His face pinched up and he lifted his sword. As he lowered the deadly weapon I prepared myself for the blow but it never came.
