Alpha team waited patiently in the holding area as the match between Dotha and Lariat was underway. Una and Raine were both fawning over the awesomeness of the King, while the rest of the group watched the fight. Almost immediately, the Dotha Team lost one of their sword experts.
Chiba frowned slightly when Milamber appeared a few meters away, but she didn't look at him. The holding area was separated into four sections by an energy barrier; this kept teams from fighting between matches.
"Ellisand?" A male voice called over from the Dotha area.
Unexpectedly the old fire mage answered. "The fuck do you want?"
Wind shook his head at the sword user. "You lasted nearly a minute. Impressive work..."
Nix smiled at his teammates, Chiba was an odd duck, but she was their duck. He squeezed her hand and motioned toward Milamber. "Who's this clown, Master Chiba?"
Chiba shrugged slightly. "Not really sure, ignore him Apprentice, and focus on those still fighting."
Apologies for the lack of chapters this week. Unfortunately, COVID has hit close to home with my sister and mom both contracting it in the last few weeks. Although they both live very far from me, I'm finding it difficult to do any writing. My sister is recovering, however my mom is struggling because of her age and prior health issues.
