Kayden walked forward followed by the other two as he skipped some steps and steal glances back and forth from them who as bizarre as it could seems...
passionately started a devoted and fruitful conversation..
"You mutton-Headed and you're telling me this just now!? "Shouted Catalina.
-"Dont be a Fodoodle!"retorted Sillias.
...
The two called each others names playfully for the complete confusion and incomprehension of Kayven.
" No but seriously.. I wish you would have informed me sooner. This is such a delicate situation.. "She stopped and turned to the charcoal Raven blonde hair boy.
" I guess you're not as bad as you look.. "She mumbles to him with a glaring gaze before turning to sillias.
She grabs her by the shoulders and embrace her like a little child would hugs its teddy bear and roughly yelled at him-
" I'm warning you-
Try anything funny and I chopped you eyes off..! "She affirmed pridely slowly loosening her embrace until her arms are back longing the sides of her waist.
" Alright ma'am."he said with an overconfident tone.
.. 40 minutes later
"Kayven did you succeed in the task I gave you last time?" Asked sillias while stretching her arms up and down and right to the left.
-"For sure, my grace-... And we have more than one reason to be cautious. "He said scoffing under his breath.
"Is that so?" She asked lightly as though she hadn't thought or expected much of him.
He then murmured to her ears something that send chills down her spine.
"This might sounds crazy but the only thing I claim without doupt to a hundred percent is ...-"
He paused, leaving her on an unbearable suspense.
"let's say... They're out for blood" he said coldly in a raspy voice.
....
"I see." She replied with eyes sharpened.
"Out for blood" A watchword which means "we might have to face Vicious or Threatening opponents."
...
"So this is war they're looking for.. Then we'll be offering them the most glorious war they're ever witnessed in their life." Though sillias as the sound of chirping birds overshadowed everything else around her.
... -
They walked through the crowd of people with such an ease and reached the center.
Suddenly applause and cheers echoed through the schools.
Spectators surrounded them with watchful eyes, scrutinizing them with fascination.
Sillias was captivated but more than that she felt something she long hope for-
Superiority.. Feeling exceptional..her who was always in the shadows, who in fact some months ago were nothing but a speck of light drowning in blackness, unseen and unbothered,where survival was her only business... Was now standing in the middle of light itself..and most importantly she was not alone anymore.
As a result,her world truly seemed to have change like a dim light gaining it's glow and sparkle back.
...
She was tremendous with anticipation but she knew she could not dare let her guard down.
Kayden noticing her expression handed his hand and grabbed her sleeves, squeezing it a bit and pitching her wrists-
"Keep it in.. You're looking pretty awkward."
She noded to him then retorted back;
"Fortunately I look like that on special occasions only.. Whereas theres people who are stuck with one all their life and still dare to act cocky."
...
"Ouch" though kayven.
"You're so cruel shattering my confidence just before the competition, welll I guess I should just give up and admit defeat then."
He said while grimacing and pretending to be upset.
"youll condemn us like that?" Asked sillias while mimicking his usual smirk.
...
"We're real embarrassment" Though both at the same time.
"Alright let's stop being silly and focus."
.... And the fist competition was Archery-
Every participants stood facing red and white targets that center green stones entrusted on the center.
"1..2..3..-!!""
Trumpets started to play on a very catchy rhythm.
The targets that were a minute ago glued to the dusky muddy ground were now floating in the air like birdies.
"Spectacular" though sillias while stretching her arms and relaxing her muscles
She then pulled the strings and arrow and stretched lightly the bow into and arch.
She inhales and her gaze falls on the target above the center of the ground.
Her iris sharpen itself as it's focus onto her aim..and like she could see and was utterly certain on what would happen next... She release the strings and let the arrow go with a sharp twang.
