"What the heck did you put up as winner's reward?" Solus asked while keeping an eye on the small-scale war taking place in front of her, to make sure that no one got hurt.
"All the ice cream they can eat." Lith replied.
"But their mothers never allow them to eat more than one bowl for dessert." She replied. "Did you make a deal with Rena and Selia to motivate the kids?"
"No, but I didn't lie either since one bowl is all the ice cream they can eat." He said with a smug grin. "That will be another important life lesson for them. Always read the fine prints."
"You're a jerk." Solus laughed.
The battle remained at a stalemate until it came to close combat. At that point, Lilia and Leran shapeshifted into their hybrid forms and overpowered Aran and Leria before they could cast any more spells.
"That was unfair!" Leria grumbled on their way back home. "If only we had a hybrid form like you, uncle Lith, we would have won."
