BEYOND THE BLAZE

Chapter 42: Last break


The contestants left to their rooms as the break time was held. The competition directors were busy preparing for the last event which was meant to be the most amazing event. Everyone's eyes were hungry to see the one on one fight after a break. Some didn't want to move from their seats in order to not lose their spots. Their hunger grew larger and larger every moment as the competitors took a long break.

The princess started ridiculing her brother because he was rooting for someone who lost. Her giggles were heart piercing, absolutely provoking. The Prince's eye's burnt with rage as the princess laughed in mockery. Her shining white teeth sparkled as she laughed, revealing all her molars. Kaid's heart pounded like a drum in inside, but mute on the outside, with his mouth sealed, his body seething with fury.

"I knew that your guy will lose, even though he was called the most strongest magic user in school. He lost like a weakling even though he was mighty. Hahaha!" Princess Fiana opened her mouth, badly mocking prince Kaid. She didn't even think about his feelings, he was like left in the middle of a dessert without a map.

Prince Kaid kept his cool, even though his heart was burning with rage, he managed to keep calm. He absorbed all the mockery until he got more than furious. His white face turned into a red tomato colour as the mockery continued. All the cool was fading, surpassed with rage, his mouth became the exhaust of the burning face as he muted Princess Fiana's mocking mouth.

"SHUT UP". His words spewed forth like lava sending heat to Fiana's mocking mouth. Fear gripped her heart as the furious Kaid shouted. Her heart raced, shivers drowning down her spine, living her in absolute terror.

He continued saying, "I know he lost, but that doesn't mean that you have to ridicull me. I'm your brother, remember that, always, even though sometimes we joke, please, let your jokes fall behind your limit line." one of Fiana's eyes dripped wet with a solitary tear that rolled down her cheek as she forcefully drank all of Kaid's furious words.

Some people in the crowd averted their gaze, their eyes fixed on the royal family with a mix of confusion and fear. The crowd fell silent as they listened to the Prince's hurtful words. Some started murmuring, creating hissing sound. And suddenly the Prince held his anger tight and calmly said, "Fiana, respect is needed sometimes, I know you were joking maybe but put yourself in my shoes and feel how I was feeling."

(Sniff, sniff) the princess was sobbing, feeling sorry for what she did, her eyes were drowning in tears while her nose ran uncontrollably. Her voice slowly trembled as she apologized for her foolishness.

"I'm sorry brother. I didn't mean to cause you that pain, I'm really sorry." she pleaded for an apology, and her brother's heart softened after hearing those sincere words, that's when he forgave her.

The listeners felt touched as they heard the sweet forgiveness the royal family did. Some had their eyes full of tears and their nose racing. They continued what they were doing, and their attention ran away from the royal family. Fiana got bored then she thought of making her last mockery a point.

Her drowning eyes were left bright white clear as she created a golden smile on her face.

"what are you up to?" the prince got astonished by the sudden change of Fiana's face.

"Nothing, just thinking about that guy who was called the most mighty guy in school who got defeated just like that."

"Here we go again. What now? Are you going to continue your mockery?"

"Come on, it's nothing like that. Just wanted to add a point about the guy I supported."

"Ohh, you mean that loser?"

"Not again Kaid, he's not a loser."

"Okay, he's not. What's your point?"

Meanwhile

Akirion's heart drowned in fear as he thought about the event.The intense event replayed in his mind and he saw that his reality would be at stake. His mind raced, the cold caught him in a full sunny day. His eyes hanged in the middle of nowhere, his gaze lost.

Elina realized Akirion's lost gaze. She approached him as always and she spoke in low, menacing tone, piercing Akirion's lost mind.

Her voice sounded robotic."Hey Akie?"

Akirion gasped, "ohh hey Elina, sup with your voice?"

"I should be the one asking you a question".

" Why is that?"

"Because of your ridiculous boring self!"

"What's the meaning of that?"

"You are always lost somewhere, always. What are you always thinking about?"

"Nothing!"

"You can't say 'nothing' while I've seen you several times. It's pointless….. let me make this clear, the next time I see your eyes lost in the atmosphere, I'll kicked your head off."

Akirion looked aside in astonishment. In his mind , "{ she's nuts, what does she expect me to do, I'm not into talking to everyone just like her.}"

The professor popped in and he proudly congratulated them.

"It's quiet here, unlike outside where the crowd will be howling like wolves, making noise. By the way, good job on successful completing the second event. It was hard, and power draining too, but you guys worked hard and you won. You really need to be cheered up. We all know that the next battle will be the most intense of all. (The kids nodded) So gather your powers and win the competition. I'm rooting for you guys."

They all cheered in happiness, ready for the battle. The professor continued,…

" So the next event will be set anytime soon, so after that time , your name's will be called out, and then you will know your opponent. So, again, get ready, gather around that energy."

The professor left and the kids started chatting to each other. When Akirion was getting caught by his thoughts, Elina's foot was on Akirion's face in an instant. Akirion gulped suppressing his instant dried throat, his heart skipped and his eyes widened as he saw Elina's foot infront of his face.

"What did I say?"

"..." Akirion remained silent.

"Next time I won't miss!"

"….." Akirion was mute and then he turned his head aside with his face totally red. Elina got astonished by Akirion's reaction . That's when she kicked Akirion away in anger. Akirion was sent flying.

"WHAT WERE YOU LOOKING AT?" Elina furiously asked Akirion, with her gaze burning with anger, and it was completely narrow. The others got surprised by the sudden fight.

"Ouch, I, I..." Akirion said in pain, after getting kicked on the face.

"Pervert, I'll kill you today." everyone laughed at Akirion after being called a pervert. Elina jumped on Akirion who was laying on his back. She grabbed his collar and he hardly spoke….

"I, I didn't mean to, you are the one who put your foot on my face while you were wearing a skirt!" Elina's eyes widened, and the anger melted sending blushing reddish on her face.

"grrrrrr". She angrily stood up and Akirion was the in the middle of her feet. She continued saying, " Next time, you won't survive." by that time, Akirion wasn't listening, his face was reddish and he fastly looked aside, rubbing his face with his index finger, saying, "ahhh, would you mind, ahh , moving aside? "

"Grrrrrrr, you did it again!(She kicked Akirion's face again) You were not even listening."

"I'm sorry!"

She moved away with an angry face leaving Akirion with a knot on his face, and as for the others, they were laughing with their molars outside.

"Ouch, my cheek". Akirion said, touching his cheek which had a lump.

After sometime, the announcer called everyone to the stage.
