"We are," I said, jumping lithely out of the rise box. I didn't have to look around to know that it was Nyx who had gasped. A wicked half smile graced my lips.
"Nyx and I," I said, walking past Triskix, "will fight next." I stood on the far side of the battlegrounds and waited for Nyx to come down. I could smell her fear as she portalled down from the balcony and faced me.
"Very well," she said quietly, her bright green eyes burning with light. "We shall fight."
Triskix glanced nervously at Lexian, and the pair quickly left the battlegrounds for the rise box. "Alright, then," said Triskix, "Nyx and Rexikat will fight next."
We each readied out weapons. I had two of my chains wrapped around my thighs, and the other two wrapped around my hands, ends trailing in the dirt. Nyx had her guitar strapped to her back and her sword in hand, pointed to the ground.
The grounds seemed quiet, but I could hear everyone's breaths, the light whisper of the wind, our silent footfalls as we circled around each other. I dropped to a slight crouch, my fingers arched and ready to tear flesh. The hunt...had begun.
