Bab 17: ASENA

Last I remember was chasing a black figure. Sure I left Wolf behind, but this was important. I caught Spirit's scent and HAD to follow it. Spirit and I were very close at one point..but we drifted apart, so I wanna fix it. I followed his scent to a hollow..I was about to go inside when he came out. " There you are Asena..I've been waiting for you to catch up." he said laughing at me. He always teases me..he knows I can take so much..." What do you want with me Spirit..? you know I want to be close to you again." I said stepping closer to him. He held a hand out and revealed a black gem. " I Know why you need this.." he said teasingly.." fight for it.. beat me and I'll give it to you." So.. without warning I held the purple gem to shift into a wolf but Spirit swiped it and smashed it on a nearby Rock. " Tsk tsk tsk...no cheating sweetie.." he says sly. I jumped up and pounced Spirit. He dodged and threw a hard left..I ducked and swept my leg under his feet. He slightly slipped but flipped over me and held me in a head hold. I wriggled free and elbowed his stomach causing him to bend forward. As he did I knees him in the face..and pinned him down. He then flipped on top of me and pinned me. " Good work.." he said as he placed the gem in my pocket. He then kissed me and the poof! disappeared.
