"Are you ready?? " he ask me..

i just nodded at him..

Tonight will be my death.. this night, my life will become doom..

"are you nervous?? Just relax.."- he ask me

i just rolled my eyes and said.. "its my fucking fight, do you want me to relax?? urgghh.. this might be my last night.."

"duh... its just a fight.. it's sad to say this, but you're not going to die.."

" what ever.."

"ladies and gentlemen.. the fight we've been wating for.."-i heard the annoucer said.. " lets welcome the challenger , Ms. Crystal Mia Kier Stoneheart.."

"ok.. just remember what i told you a while ago.."-sky..

"ok.."

i entered the arena.. and look at that, all of these people here in arena will going to witness my death.. I saw the leader of the council, he's looking at me as if i'm a prey..

"and now, please welcome, Ms. Camille Stanford."- the announcer continued..

A girl with a fighter outfit entered..
I hate to say this but she's intimidating with black aura.. not literally.. but damn. she's scary..

She looked at me and said.."pathetic,"

"dont talk too much.."

"whatever"

she's about to attacked me when she saw my sword.. nah, i forgot that this is the legendary sword so everyone will be shocked.. tsk..

"Cat got your tongue honey"-I smirk.

"Naah! It doesn't matter.."

"Whatever"- I said then attack her..

Damn.. She's so fast.. I slash my sword forward with a twist and luckily I hurt her arm..

"My gosh! My precious arm.. How there you!"- she said angrily"I'm going to kill you bitch"

"Oh come on! "

I dodge here attacks..

*kling*

*klang*

*kling*

I attack her with a back flip and strike forward.
And when she's about to attack me, something happened..

Is this the way I die?

Nah! Too early for that. I ran sideways and attack behind her.. She didn't expect it and I take it as a chance.

I parted  my legs to form a stable stance with my weapon. I shifted my foot as I move forward cautiously. I raise my sword before jabbing to target the chest. Camille evaded the attack smoothly, leaning to the side as she rounded her sword to target my shoulder. I dodge her attack. For the second time, I use the same stance a while ago, taking the offence, I strike her again with my a slight tilt to give my sword a little access from the side. She blocked my attack. Relentless, I drove forward once more and this time I did not force my weapon and I drew the sword from my back deflecting the blow with it and spinning to position the blade against Camille's chin.

"Surrender"-its not a question but a statement as I said it panting..

"Fine"- she surrendered and throw her sword away..

"Ladies and gentlemen, the winner of this match is Ms. Crystal Mia Kier Stoneheart.."

I heard a round of applause.. I'm exhausted.. Urgh, I want to lay down on my bed.

After my match, the leader of the council summon me to their room.

"How can I help you?"-that's the first sentence comes out my mouth

"You're great in fighting"-said the leader.

"Well, ah, thanks?"

"Hmm, call me Mr. Yuki. I forgot to introduced my name since the day you came here. So as I was  saying, you're going to be the partner of sky in every mission since he doesn't have any partner. And you're going to team up with them"

"Who's them?"- I ask

"Them"-he said pointing at my back.

I saw Mariel, John , winter and Shaun.

"Uhmm, where's my partner?"- I suddenly ask Mariel.

"I think he's at his beloved"

Why does it hurt hearing that he already have a beloved.. Nahh! I'm sure it's just stress because of the match earlier.

"Ow, OK"- I said."by the way Mr. Yuki, can I go to my room already?"

"Sure, you're all dismissed."

I find myself wandering in the middle of this garden. I don't know but when I saw this garden, I think it urge me to go here.

I can't explain the beauty of the flowers such as white and red roses, chrysanthemum, and poinsettia. I feel peace.  I roam around and notice a couple sitting on a bench, they don't notice me because they are facing the lake and I'm at their back, a few meters away.
They look so happy, what a sweet couple.

"Hon, I want us to get settled."- said the guy.

Wait, that voice is familiar.

"Uhm, not now hon"

When the guy turned his head on where I was standing, I hide in the bushes. And speaking of, it's Sky.

Damn, why does it hurt. Sure that I don't like him but why do I feel this emotion, my goodness..

Sky said the words that I didn't expect that it hurt.

"I love you hon."
