Vargan stared at Raviel for a long second.
Then he let out a rough laugh.
"Fine then. If that's what you want."
He rolled his shoulders, flames flickering lightly around his fists before fading again.
"Don't cry later."
On the Shivera side, Sarona gave a single, calm nod.
"We accept."
Raviel stepped slightly to the side, clearing the center.
"Then let's start, shall we?"
Rena bounced lightly on her feet.
"Oh, finally."
Rika placed a hand on Rena's shoulder.
"Wait for the signal."
Azalira clasped her hands behind her back, smiling.
"This is going to be educational."
Aurelia exhaled slowly and centered her stance.
"Remember what we practiced."
From the Vulkran side, one warrior cracked his neck loudly.
"Four against all of us."
He grinned wide.
"Don't blink."
Several Vulkrans activated small bursts of [Flame Burst], testing their heat output.
