"THE SIGNS DO NOT LIE

THE TRUTH WILL NOT DIE

AS TIME WILL GO BY

WE WILL SAY OUR GOODBYES

FOR THE TRUE PRIEST TO BE BORN

THE FALSE GODS WILL ALL DIE"

Orie heard these words just before he woke up. He looked around in confusion, trying to figure out where he was. The last thing he could remember was that he was surrounded by dust in the arena.

He looked at the nurse who seemed surprised for a reason and asked "how long have I been here?"

"F... Four days" the nurse answered nervously and Orie remain silent

"We thought you were dead" she added

"Who won?" Orie asked

"What?" The nurse replied, still shaken up

"My fight" Orie rephrased

"Who won?"

"Well..." The nurse replied

"The other guy was disqualified so..."

"... I guess you won"

"Oh" Orie said as he tried to get off from the bed but the but the nurse immediately moved to stop him.

"You just woke up sir" she said

"We can't let you walk around till we know for sure that you're okay"

"I'm okay" Orie replied as he got down from the bed but the nurse immediately got in front of him saying "no no no no no no, you need to rest" but he immediately replied "I can't"

"There's somewhere I need to be" he said as gently brushed her aside and walked out.

"Ellie porter here"

"Many of you might not know why the stadium is so full today"

"Well it's because two of the tournaments most promising fighters are having a clash today"

"The turn out for this fight is almost as good the finals of last year"

"Many people keep saying that it would have been nice if this fight happened in the finals"

"Anyways let me introduce you to today's fighters"

"The first is Kaen Amano"

"He's not a new face so we already know much about him"

"The one everybody is curious about is the person that the son of fire is facing off against"

"Though she's a daughter of the prestigious house of Fubuki, she still keeps a low profile"

"The homeroom teacher for first year Non-royal class"

"Everyone's favorite biology teacher"

"Natsumi Fubuki"

*whisper*"ps, she is also Orie's girlfriend (I miss him already)"

"Alright, let's watch"

"It's about to start"

There is a kind of silence that fills a place when something serious is about to happen. It's not that no sound is made but that most of the sounds being made are not perceived due to a high level of focus. Such silence was the one occurring at the moment.

As soon as the starting buzzer broke the silence, Kaen immediately charged up a fireball and shot it at Natsumi but she quickly brought up a wall of ice to block it. The wall of ice fell but it succeeded in blocking the attack.

The son of fire didn't waste time in launching another attack. This time, from over five different directions. Balls of red hot flames hovered around him and he shot them at an incredible speed. He had good control as he could cause the flames to move in ways that were difficult to predict.

Natsumi was blocking every shot that came at her. She was quick to react to her opponent's attacks and all the patterns he used but it was still a prevalent observation that she was being overpowered.

Every defense she set up was brought down in one shot and every of her attacks melted before they could reach her opponent. It was apparent that the stage was too hot for her.

"Ellie porter here"

"Some of you may have noticed it by now but the ice lady isn't using as much power as she did in the previous matches"

"I don't exactly know why but I'm suspecting it is lack of motivation"

" She is fighting like she no longer has the will to do so"

Natsumi took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Suddenly everything around her began to freeze, the flames that where coming at her died out and soon, everyone in the stadium could feel the chill.

Kaen summoned more flame and increased their heat then he shot them at Natsumi. All the flames were blocked out but none of the ice walls fell.

Natsumi then moved to attack. She raised her hand in the air and many long spears of ice formed above her but as she was about to send them at her opponent, she heard a laugh.

It was a laugh that only her could hear. She was afraid of it. At the moment she heard it, she was paralyzed with fear and every attack and defence she had prepared broke down, leaving space for one of kaen's attacks to hit her behind her head.

The hit sent her flat on the ground and for a while, she couldn't get up. She didn't want to move, she was afraid of what would happen if she did.

"Come on" the voice in her head spoke but she answered with a loud "NO!!"

Kaen heard her and noticed that something was wrong. He slowly drew closer to her and asked "are you okay?" But as soon as she turned to look at him his whole body was struck with fear.

"What was that?" He said to himself as he quickly backed away from her. He didn't know what it was but he knew that it was not something he wanted to face. Luckily, just before things got too awkward, Orie ran into the stadium screaming "I AM HERE!!"

"DON'T BE AFRAID!!"

"YOU WILL NOT LOSE"

After Orie said those words, the voice went silent and Natsumi picked herself up from the floor. They didn't known what exactly occurred but they were glad that the match was going to continue and they cheered with all their might.

On the other hand, Kaen knew that if he wanted to win the match, he would have to do things he had never done before.

His eyes were heavy, his voice was inaudible, he could feel his consciousness fading but he kept on praying.He had thought that he had enough strength to keep up the prayer but his condition was worse than he had thought it was."I'm sorry" he said as he fell to his knees and went silent.As the paramedics were rushing to take Orie away the thing that he was trying to keep under control broke free and took over Natsumi.Kaen tried to call back his flames but they were sniffed out as soon as they came in. The mist was thick, it was cold and he could barely see what was in front of him. Icicles were coming at him from different angles and he could hardly evade any of them.He saw himself at a dead end. He could not see anything he could do that would cause him to win the match. He was tired, bleeding, aching a

  • Keeping cool

    "Who should I fear more?" Kaen wondered"Is it the monster that makes me shudder""Or is it the vessel that contains it?"As Kaen prepared to engage his opponent, all that he could think of was the fear that he felt. He could not forget it.Not many remember it but there was once a great incident that took place in Fubuki island. It was an incident that almost claimed the lives of all who lived on the island.A great frost, so cold that no flame could resist, quickly spreading and freezing everything in its path. In the dark winter night when many slept, this frost came along to take their breath.Somehow, everyone woke up in their beds the next morning with no recollection of the past twelve hours.

  • Still standing

    Of the expectations that the people had, no one expected that a majority of the spectators would be okay with the outcome of the fight. They were sure that what they saw was real, they were sure that what they saw was fair, they were sure that the contestants gave it their all and they were sure that the winner deserved his victory.Even those who didn't support him in the beginning were cheering for him with all their heart, even those who lost their bets because of him rejoiced at the sight.There were many good fighters in the tournament, many who at the wave of their hands would cause marvelous sights but of all the fights in the tournament, Orie had shown them most invigorating.The cheers went on for a while until people in the crowd began to notice that the referee was yet to formally declare a winner. Soon they noticed that orie had not made a single movement since the clearing of the dust, he was still standing but he could not move.Though one person was on the floor while t

  • The bird and the beast

    From within the circle came forth a huge bird of prey; a hawk. It appeard to be fully covered in silver. Just by looking at it, one could tell that its beak was harder than a rock and that its claws were as sharp as blades, even its wings didn't seem flying was all they could do. At this point in the battle where pride was being cast aside, the same thought ran through the minds of everyone watching. "NOW THE REAL FIGHT BEGINS" "Go" at this command from Chris, the bird threw itself at Orie with incredible speed. Orie evaded the bird without problem but what came next was quite challenging. After evading an attack from above he found himself facing one from below. Not many can escape such attacks from Chris. He would use the bird to make his opponents dodge in a certain manner, then he would go in for the real attack when their balance had been compromised. It was quite an effective move, but just not for Orie. "How is this possible?" Chris thought to himself as h

  • The market day

    "This is my day" "This is my day" "This is my day" It kept repeating but Natsumi could not understand what it meant" "This is my day" She knew she had forgotten something "This is my day" She was sure she had forgotten something "This is my day" Something that would help her discern the situation. "This is my day" It stopped as soon as she realized what it meant. She remembered that when she thought it was Orie's birthday, he had told her these words. She remembered how he told her of the four market days of his tribe and that he shared his name with one of them. She remembered that he told her how the days affected his power, and this made her the least surprised person among the audience when Orie got back up on his feet. "WHAT... THE... F***!!!!?" Ellie screamed at the camera "How much blood does this guy have?" "He's lost so much yet he is still standing" "What kind of immortal dragon sh** is this" "This is not easy to believ
