"Come on Vi,you can do this,you've trained,you've worked hard,you got this"Aviva looked at her reflection in the mirror forcing a smile,she was trying to cheer herself on for the match.
"Really,you think you can,you're nothing,why do you think dad hates you,it's because you're weak"The demons in her head shouted telling her she wasn't enough.
"No"she cut them off before they could continue,"I'm strong, independent,I'm Aviva and today everyone will know"
She turned around cleaned herself and wore her clothes,she picked clothes that would be free on her,black cargo shorts, dark blue shirt and black sneakers,she picked out a pair of lacy black fingerless gloves.
She combed her hair allowing it to fall freely.
She left the room,she was prepared for whoever she would be fighting.
She made her way to her friends who were already at the arena.
"How are you doing?"She turned around to see Freya smiling at her.
She smiled"Fine"
"You're going to do great Aviva"Evette gave her a quick smile before the announcer yelled.
"Can the following contestants please make their way to the floor,Aviva Reid and Rosette Hayes"
Aviva looked down to see that Rosette had already made her way down,she climbed the railing surprising her friends she took a step and stood on top a light wind tornado that took her gracefully to the floor.
"Talk about an entrance"She could her people say,she smiled and prepared herself.
"Librarian girl, you're the one I'm up against"
"I knew I had seen her somewhere, she's the girl that works in the library"A voice called out from the crowd.
"Do you think she'll win,is she strong"another voice called out.
Aviva looked at Rosetta trying to recall where she had seen her before.
She remembered"Aren't you the one that got suspended from the library"
Her tone was mocking which angered Rosetta.
"I'll show you what Flower Power means"
Aviva watched as the once dry field blossomed and bloomed with flowers of different kind.
"She covered the whole field with flowers,if I fight on the floor she would be advantaged" Aviva thought before flying up stopping mid-air.
Rosetta sent a giant flower to Aviva but she made a wind blade cleanly slicing the flower into half.
"Wow,who would have thought she'd be able to do that"people cheered from the crowd.
Aviva held out her palm and a huge storm of wind tossed Rosetta flying backwards into the floor.
Rosetta quickly stood up created a giant flower but Aviva didn't know the flower swallowed Aviva,the whole arena turned silent awaiting what would happen.
A wind blade slashed the flower into two, Rosetta was confused then she saw Aviva holding the blade.
The whole crowd erupted in cheers as they saw her.
"No,my flower swallowed you"
"Did it? I escaped I guess I was to fast for you to see"Aviva responded,she turned to see her friends well mostly Liana and Freya cheering her on.
She turned back to Rosetta,she yawned "as much as I would like to continue,this match is over".
She created a bow and three arrows from wind,she held the bow vertically,directing it at Rosetta,she released all three bows at her, Rosetta created a flower dome but Aviva's arrows shot through the dome dealing damage to her.
"The winner of this match,Aviva Reid"
The announcer yelled as people erupted in screams.
The once flower filled field returned to it's dry form. Aviva went to meet her friends and Liana enveloped her in a hug.
"That was absolutely great,Vi"
"Thanks,if you excuse me I need to go freshen up" She looked at them and they nodded.
*********************
"Ugh, Layton why is it taking so long to get the boy,"Alaster groaned.
"Sorry, Supreme god,I'll go meet Arkin to start the preparation" Layton gave a quick nod before scurrying off.
Alaster scoffed and turned around only to be met with a familiar white-haired god.
"Ezra,what brings the supreme god of time here"
"You need to stop this madness,do you know the amount of danger you're going to bring upon this kingdom if you continue with what you want to do."
"Now, now,Ezra,I see you haven't changed,you and your emotionless self,what makes you think you can stop me,you are dead,you can't stay for more than 20 minutes without going back to the spirit realm"
"Last time I checked you were under the same situation too"
"You irritate me you know,now don't forget who killed you"Alaster charged towards him.
Ezra held out his right palm"pause"
and time paused Alaster following suit.After that he disappeared, time started moving again leaving Alaster enraged.
*****************
There was fire everywhere as people ran Helter skelter.
Jude turned around watching them he couldn't see them clearly,he watched almost shadow like figures run around, he turned around to see the cause, a black dragon breathing fire everywhere.
From where he was he could see what looked like a mother and daughter duo frozen in fear as another dragon neared them,the crouched down over her daughter hugging her, trying to comfort her.
He couldn't see their faces or any other thing about them,they just looked blurry.
He focused his attention to the mother and daughter duo before another blurry figure rushed out to them.
"Shame on you,attacking even children,you truly are evil"The figure shouted punching the dragon knocking it unconscious.
"I know that voice,it's Mila,he could hear the voices clearly" Jude thought.
His thoughts were confirmed when he heard another voice,this time a male one.
"Mila,what are you doing,you are carrying a child for lord's sake,you can't keep throwing your self about wherever you see danger"
"That's Ezra's voice,did he just say Mila's pregnant,how come I've never seen them but I've seen her and Ezra,I'll ask her about it later"Jude thought.
"I'm sorry Ez,I just wanted to protect them" Mila spoke or at least her blurry figure did.
To this Ezra's figure nodded.
Then he saw another dark like figure headed towards Ezra and Mila.
"Ooh look,it's the supreme god of time magic"the dark figure with horns spoke but Ezra remained silent.
"It's either you allow me kill you or I'll kill Mila and her child"the figure continued.
"No"Jude found himself shouting,he didn't know why.
"Over my dead body"Ezra spoke calmly too calmly considering his situation.
"So be it"the dark figure waved it clawed hands but Jude could even register what was happening everywhere turned black.
**************
Jude eyes snapped open as he sat on the bed "it's just a dream,why did it seem so real" he ran a hand against his already messy hair as he closed his eyes and drifted into sleep again, this time a dreamless one.

Knock knock
Kyle awoke to the constant knocking on the door. He sighed before rather sluggishly making his way to the door.
He looked at the clock "5:30" "it isn't even late" he murmured to himself before opening the door.
He met an awaiting Liana,he scanned her from head to toe, seeing her in a white shirt which had been tucked into black skirt that stopped at her thighs and thigh high boots,the same clothes she had started the day with.
"Yes,why are you here"
Her face flushed from what he couldn't decipher whether she was embarrassed or because of him.
"I figured since your match would be tomorrow,just came to wish you good luck"she smiled looking up at him.
"Thanks"
She smiled at his response "Well I'll see you tomorrow then"she winked before leaving.
He closed the door,made his way back to his bed and plopped down on it.
