2024-10-29 19:42:56"We have in total nine orbs… sigh."
The group was already reunited on the red tower. It was a tall construction visible from afar the same as the other towers. However, the bright red color of the roof made it discernable for the other competitors, the same with their own towers. The interior was empty space though. Only the top had windows as the ground level had one door. It was a simple construction easy to attack, perfect to test the abilities of the fighters.
"We don't know how many orbs the other teams have, dammit!"
"We should go look at them, however, we can't leave the orbs here without protection and we don't have enough people to attack the four other towers, we have to choose who to attack first."
"The weaker teams, maybe the black team or the silver team, the blue one had other top rankers too. The golden team is out of question."
"Maybe not," one said looking at Emma, "Miss Mina can take care of the Duke, though."
"Yes,

"Your Highness, shouldn't we move to attack the other teams?"The members of the Golden team were around the tower enjoying a relaxing time, though some of them were focusing on the next battles.In the last hour, they had collected fifteen orbs, and then they had stopped when the Duke ordered. It seemed that the number was enough to pass the next stage, and, of course, the other teams won't dare to attack them in the least.Not once, they had seen another team member near the perimeters of their tower. They even seemed to be avoiding it for fear of enraging the mighty Dragon guarding the tower at the top.Only a few of the fighters that were lucky enough to stay in the same group as the Duke were now only taking preventive precautions but nothing more. Only a bit more from an hour was left and they hadn't done a lot. Some were even eager to go out to join the fight and warm their muscles before the next stage.However, a handsome Duke was sitting

"Devon, search for the orbs on the top," Emma was directing the rest of the group to look inside the perimeter of the Silver tower. The silver team never thought they would be attacked so soon so they were caught unprepared.They must have guessed that the other teams were attacking the red tower. So they decided to protect their own, or not?"There are only nine on the tower and the surroundings, where are the others?""Betraying their alliance."Emma didn't need to explain as it was quite obvious that they had used the opportunity to land an attack on the blue or black tower. She wanted to know from when they had the time to form an alliance. Maybe some of them knew each other before they choose their teams. That was most likely, but she also knew then, that they betrayed each other."Let's move faster, before the others notice," Emma already had brought down three fighters with her magic space spheres. They were useful to set traps around and ma

"Quickly, they are near!"Emma and the others kept running to their tower but the blue and black teams were approaching. They were coming at an incredibly fast speed, even though they left them a few seconds ahead."How do they do it?""They have fairies with them, they are enhancing their legs. Sorry, I can only help a bit though," Devon said with a difficult expression, "Allen would have done it better. Dammit!""Someone, get back and fight those idiots!"The ones to step out were Regulus and Segen, as they were the most powerful. They were the first ones to respond also, along with another three."Wait!" Emma's tired voice stopped everyone. "There is a trap in the front.""What?""I left one of my spheres there and someone activated it," she was out of air, "maybe someone from the blue or black team.""Then, what should we do? There is no time!""I have a plan… follow me!"However, before she coul

The first ones to enter the platform were the members of the golden team. Fifteen powerful fighters. However, before they started the attack, the Duke and Ilian stood on one side of the platform to seat peacefully on a chair, not minding the fight at all. The Duke's knights had made sure to make him sit comfortably during the battle. Emma could only laugh at his laziness as he was sending her gazes from time to time.On the other hand, the fighters were ready to take the other three spots on the final stage. It was their only opportunity and for what they had prepared for the last few hours. They were the first to chose their team as they were top rankers."Hey, Kal, I will take that place this year!""No, you won't!""Yes, I will!""Then… try it if you can."The starting bell had not rung, but the thirteen contestants were already forming groups and little alliances to take control of the platform. Only the best group of three will w

The fight was a cruel display of a little girl playing with big magic tigers and some little knights trying to run from her. That was an awful almost pathetic play, however an extraordinary show, who would have thought that she was that strong? She even was shameless, she only left out the handsome guy that was showing his abs to her. Those beautiful abs were his card to the next round.When the battle finished up, Madame Lu couldn't contain her laughter to announce the end of the Golden team fight. So one of her girls had to send the signal to ring the bell. The cheers didn't make them wait. However, from beginning to end, the Duke didn't even raise a finger.Now it was time for the Red Team to step into the platform and fight. However, something unexpected happened. Not two seconds from the rang of the bell, the four dragon ladies that tried to harm Emma previously attacked her without restraint. However, the next five seconds were as pathetic as their whole time in

That day finished with a round of victory for Emma and the others, though, Allen just stood there without much to do. Emma never thought she would be able to pass the next stage of the tournament, not even in her wildest dreams. However, now she can be considered as one of the top twenty best fighters in the whole Avalor. It was truly an honor, though, it will only be true when she confronted another top twenty on a one-on-one fight."Can… can you stop… it?"Emma was directed to her room from before after the fight, Ina had helped her get there after saying goodbye to the others. However, a shameless Duke didn't hesitate to enter her room this time without waiting any longer. He won't let her stay alone anymore, not when she was attacked at that time and barely came out unharmed. That little Prince dared to harm her on his watch, that would never go unpunished."Ah… stop it!""No," his body was so heated that he couldn't stop pushing

The next morning, Emma almost started a war with her dear husband. He didn't contain himself no a single time last night. Not only he was eager to make a baby with her, but he wanted to make her remember her promise. To go to him whenever he called, and she couldn't say no to him. However, the next morning when she was a bit more conscious of everything, he dared to escape after doing one last morning deed. Only a soft kiss on her forehead was his way of asking for forgiveness.When she came out of the room, Ina was already waiting for her with a warm drink in her hands. She said it was a gift for the Duke and that it would help her recover from the training."Tha… thank you, Ina," Emma didn't know if the loyal knight had stayed at the door the whole night, but she must know why the Duke had left her room all happy, right?The warm liquid was a strange potion. Emma hadn't heard about it before, but it was helping her body stop feeling pain. Even though th

A few hundred miles from Avalor, the knights led by Neo were in shock at the horrible sight in front of them.They never thought that such malevolence could be possible, to kill mercilessly innocent and defenseless people was going too far. These people were under the care of the alliance, under the protection of the Duke's knights and the Kingdom. However, they were slaughtered in the worst possible way only for a few drops of blood."Your Highness, this…"Neo didn't know what to say, he was speechless from the moment he found the corpses hanging, it was a sorrowful sight. The young dragons guarding the little town were found in a crazy state. Their minds had already left the real world, and they were just empty vessels. Only the power of an elder could guide them through the right path now, but that will take many years."Bury them with the highest honors, notify the alliance and start a search in secret, don't let anyone know who was the culprit

Night and thunder surrounded the castle; the tall towers of stone crumbled with the echoes of the wind hitting the walls and windows. Fear was easy to feel, anxiousness could invade the heart and soul of the weak, but the woman lying in the last room of the tower was still indifferent. The terror of residing on an earth that had been already taken over by murderous creatures didn’t make her succumb to shivers and sorrow.Even when strong golden chains gripped her fair porcelain legs, leaving painful red marks in the soft skin of her ankles, she didn’t care, nor did she make a whimper. The man who trapped her never unlocked them once from the first day he took her a year ago. He only watched as she sat on the floor with her back to the wall, occupying one corner of the room. Lonely and lost.His eyes were filled with more than desire, but a strong lo

"What is the meaning of this symbol?"The man looked confused. The sweet voice of Emma made him lose control of his words and actions. He didn't know why was that, he had never been subjected to hypnosis nor any kind of suggestive game. However, this time, it was as if some drug had entered his body and made him a week to listen to that woman's orders.Emma showed him the ring and waited for his response. The golden symbol engraved in the ring glowed with the two little red gems. It was a magnificent piece, almost as if a genius craft maker had taken inspiration from heaven. The way it was done was marvelous. A masterpiece. Victor's eyes stared at the ring for a few seconds and wondered where did she get that kind of gold. If she had sold it before, then her debt would have disappeared too. It was not as if she didn't try it, but the elders didn't let her do that. They knew it was the clue to find her real identity. However, Emma didn't hesitate to go to the ma

The man let her stay in his lap for the rest of the journey. As they were moving around the roads, she noticed that they were leaving the small town and entering what seemed a base surrounded by tall trees and a metal fence."We will stay here, for the time being, my love," the man whispered and kissed her long hair. Emma didn't care as she was tired. For now, she shall pretend to agree with the man and his needs.She closed her eyes and slept without care. When she felt that he carried her to a room and into a bed, she let him caress her face as she succumbed to her dreams. Again, the man with the red eyes showed up. This time, however, the symbol on her ring appeared in the chest of the man as he was more intense in making love to her. He pulled her to his body and it was as if he was really there sharing his warmth. Emma didn't fight it, she wanted to see him, to touch him and remember when she wakes up in the morning. "Who... who are you?"She whispered as s

Nothing.The eyes and the figure suddenly disappeared without a trace. There was no red glinting and calling her that night, but the feeling remained. She knew it was someone from her memories, that person was looking for her eagerly and she wanted to be found. She returned to the restaurant that night with many thoughts filling her mind. The man's figure, the red eyes, the longing in her heart. She even forgot about the testing of her powers, she had more important things to figure out that night. However, just as she was about to reach the entrance of the street, she heard screams. The voice was from her aunty and many other men. "Trash everything! Don't leave a single piece standing!""No, please," the voice of the old woman came with a painful cry. "Leave him alone, he is already badly injured." "Shut up!"Then more screams and shattering of windows and wood. There were at least a dozen tall and strong men with bats and metal long bars dest

The restaurant, which once was filled with chatters and laughter, was now echoing with silence. The few last days, the old elders kept it closed as it seemed that no one would enter the business for fear of the consequences, they will go to the neighbor town to sell some of their goods, though the journey there was a bit long."I will go out," Emma said after her training in her room. She had been having more progress in controlling her illusions, but it was not enough, she needed to test them. She came down the stairs and the two elders were already finishing preparing for the next day as they will go to a faraway market. "Is there something you need from the shop?""Darling, I thought you were already asleep," the old aunty came forward with a caring look, "you should go and sleep, you must be tired."Emma smiled, she knew that the old woman had seen her training, "I am fine, aunty, but I wish to take some fresh air now. There is something I want to test

I turned around. There was a young boy with a tired face, dark circles underneath his green eyes, disheveled black hair and wearing a long white hoodie with an image of a smiling face. He seemed to have just woken up from the look of the dried saliva in his mouth and cheek. I didn't need to guess who he was. "Jason""Yes, Mr. Hill asked me to fetch you, but...""You fell asleep," I smirked at the cynical face before me. He was not even feeling guilty. "It's okay I arrived fast and well," I said with a smile that was not reaching my eyes. Later I will have a little play with him."Mr. Hill will call you for your first task this evening, *yawn...*"Mr. Hill was one of the top assistants of that old man. I had never met him before, but I heard about him by listening my father's talk over the phone. His tone was always respectful even when he was the son and heir of Peter Lark and Mr. Hill was only a mere assistant. It was evident that Mr. Hill was not a

They lived without worries for that entire week, with no news about the mafia group nor their men. The old madame was still recovering in the hospital and afraid to return to her house though. Her younger daughter came to see her take her away from that town as quickly as she was informed. Her son, on the other hand, never showed up, no one knew where he went. However, it was almost like an illusion of safety. Quiet and calm in the streets, not many passersby, just dust and the clash on the windows. Everyone knew that the thugs will come, they had already waited a lot of time to unleash their attack. The residents and friends who had heard about the situation with the Larks were afraid to go to the restaurant; those days not many customers went to eat or even order some take-away. Only after the harsh efforts of Emma going around the neighborhood town to set a stand in the market, they were able to complete the rest of the money for that month. "Emma, my dear, you

The local police arrived at the small house with a small ambulance to take the old madame to the local clinic. They all knew her, and some of the neighbors had already reported the situation as they heard the scandal from afar, however, all of them were scared to get out of their houses. Even the policemen that arrived."Miss Emma, she will be fine, are you alright?" The old officer kept looking at the man on the ground who was still mumbling incoherent words. His team and he knew very well the identity of the man. In fact, Emma also knew it as there was only one mafia group that controlled the town, and those men were from that group. The same one that had lent money to almost all the little business in the town. However, their shady treats had made the little town fear the consequences of not paying their fees. "Miss Emma, this..." one of the police officers looked at Emma with a bit of worry in his eyes. "You should go to the old Larks, they are waiting for
