Lost In Time

The battle

Ella, Oli, Zella, Sparrow, Kira and Ray returned to the castle early that morning, Seishin was asleep on the sofa, Raziel and Ender were asleep in their rooms, Cassiel was drinking wine on the roof, she didn't seem to notice them as they walked into the house.

Ella, Oli and Sparrow went straight to bed, they were exhausted.

Kira and Ray woke Seishin up, he went to bed, they sat down on the sofa and talked for awhile, then they saw Ivy, she was coming downstairs.

"And that's why I'll never..." Kira stopped talking and looked at Ivy, she nudged Ray on the shoulder.

"Who is that?" She whispered to Ray. Ray shrugged, "I don't know." She replied.

Ivy looked at them, she waved. "Hi?" She said in a confused voice.

Kira's eyes lit up, she jumped up, "HI! MY NAME IS KIRRRRRRAAAAA!" She yelled, she ran full speed to Ivy and hugged her, Ray walked up to Ivy, "Hi, this is Kira and I'm Ray, what's your name?" She asked, Ivy laughed, "I'm Ivy, nice to meet you." Ivy replied, Kira looked at Ray, "Wow! She is so beautiful! Can we keep her Ray? Can we please!" Kira said, Ivy looked at Ray.

Ray sighed, "I guess but you have to feed her, I say, white hair and golden eyes.." she paused to look at Ivy, "You look like a royal." She said with a suspicious look on her face.

Before Ivy could reply Kira yelled, "WOW! YOU MUST BE SOOOOOO POPULAR!"

Ivy nervously laughed, "I have to go.."

"Oh.. well I guess we will see you later then." Kira let go of her and waved goodbye, Ivy was walking up the hill, then she noticed a small fluffy, white cat, he was laying down on the soft patch of grass.

Ivy picked up the cat, "Awww! Your so cute! I'll keep you." She said, Ivy held the small kitten close to her, Cassiel flew down, "I wouldn't hold that cat if I were you." Cassiel warned.

"Why?" Ivy asked, she held the cat closer to her.

"Oh well, they have to learn the hard way." Cassiel mumbled, she looked at the cat, "His name is Alva, he is Raziel's cat. If I were you I would let him go but I'm not apart of this." Cassiel said, she started to walk up the hill.

Ivy looked back at Alva, he was trying to break free from her grasp, "Silly cat, your so cute." Ivy said, she walked up the hill.

Cassiel was waiting for her, "Who am I supposed to fight?" Ivy asked.

"Me." Cassiel replied with a smile.

Ivy looked shocked, Ivy set Alva down, she tied her jacket over him so he wouldn't run off.

Cassiel looked at Ivy, "Im going to fight you today, don't worry, I'll make sure you don't get hurt, now let me start by saying the rules, 1. No matter what, don't kill the opponent.  2. Don't do anything stupid, Now, let me explain the armor." She paused, she took off her long, black gloves and set them down on the ground, her hands and eyes started to glow, then she took out her sword, she threw it at Ivy, it stopped when it was inches away from her face, Ivy's body started to glow, then her outfit was transformed into an all white outfit, on the chest plate, back, knees and neck were the number 3.

Cassiel held out her hand, the sword returned to her, she stopped glowing.

"Ok so the numbers are a way to see how many times you have been hit, if you get to 2 then you have been hit once there, if you get to 1 then you have been hit twice in the same spot. Each time your hit your weapon becomes weaker, if you get to zero then a piece of your weapon falls off or doesn't work anymore, to win you must hit every number 3 until it gets to zero, understand?" Cassiel explained, she looked at Ivy, "What's your weapon?" She asked.
