《Shadow’s World》fairy fight chapter 9
Advertisement
I look around the arena. The seats were empty beside the VIP seats. There were 10 elders sitting down. Elder Kyle and Jessie were in the middle of the group, and they were the only ones in which I could see their faces. Elder Kyle gave me a smile and said, “Today we have invited some very important guest, Alexander. You are this school best student, we ever have and they want to see your talent.” He looks around at the other elders and sighs. Then he says, “These other elders don’t think you are as talented as we say. They think we are lying and have to give you a very hard test you can give up.” One of the Elder yells, “No, Elder Kyle this isn’t a test he can give up. If you and Elder Jessie thinks he is so talented, then let him prove himself. Don’t give him a way out.” I roll my eyes.
There is no point in getting mad over this. I look at the man inside of the cage. He was in his early 20s. He looks like a heavyweight boxer. The man was sitting Indian style with a minotaur by his side. The minotaur is twice the guy size and caring a huge axe. The man looks discipline not moving a muscle even though the elders are yelling at each other. The elder that was yelling at Elder Kyle asks, “Alexander, you have only one chance. Elder Kyle and Elder Jessie think you are the most powerful Jeonglyeong alive. Tell us they are lying and you aren’t as talented as they said, so we can leave.” I look at my opponent and feel his power. He is strong. His body was radiating with a power of something foreign. There is no way I can tell if he was stronger or weaker than me but I wanted to fight. I haven’t had a decent battle since I fought Erica all of those years ago. I look up at the elder and says, “I will fight him. Don’t worry Elder; they weren’t lying about my strength.” The elder cracks a smile. The elder looks at the fairy user and yells, “Young man fight this boy. If you can make him beg for mercy, we won’t put you in the mines.” The fairy user opens one eye and looks up at the elder. He closes the eye and turns his head towards me.
He gives me a smile and opens his eyes. While he is opening his eyes he says, “Hmm this shrimp isn’t a problem open the cage and let me at him. Don’t start crying when he gets hurt.” He stands up and starts stretching inside of the cage. While looking at the man Elder Kyle yells, “Alexander are you ready for the fight?” I reply, “Give me a second to get ready, sir.” I close my eyes and breathe in the air. Looking inside of myself, I summon the energy inside my body. The fire builds inside my body. I can feel all the atoms in the surrounding getting excited. Each time I take a breath, the room gets hotter. The atoms surrounding me were moving faster and faster. They are causing flames to erupt from my body. It should get harder to breathe inside of the room. My body was getting stronger each time I took a breath. The fire was stimulating my body. I opened my eyes and there was a thick layer of fire surrounding my body. Everyone in the room was staring in awe.

The fairy user looks at me and gives a whistle. “You know a little kid they used to call me a monster because of my growth. Looking at you. I am not a monster, instead of someone who is talented. This is unreal.” The fairy user looks up at the elders and asks, “Don’t renege on our agreement Jeonglyeong. I know our god doesn’t like lairs.” Elder Jessie sneer at the fair user, “This Boy is very talent, and he will destroy you in this fight. Even if that wasn’t the case, no one here fears your god. Shut up and get ready to fight once Alexander is ready. We will let you out of your cage. Do not lose too fast, boy!” I needed a few more seconds. This is taking too long I still more need practice. I breathe a few more times and feel my muscles sucking in the fire. My body goes to being on fire to one releasing steam. The air in the room drops a few degrees. In the corner of my eyes, I can see the elders making a window to protect themselves from the fight. I clench my fist. I am ready. I look up to Elder Kyle and say, “I am ready, sir. Let him out.”
Elder Jessie snaps his fingers, causing the cage to sink back into the earth, leaving only the fairy user and his minotaur. The fair user looks at the elders and yells, “Minotaur attack him from the front.” The huge monster runs towards me. I summon a lightening spear and throws it at the man. He dodges the attack. I run towards the minotaur. It pulls back both of his arms and swings at me with his giant axe. I jump over the three-meter monster and turns. The moment I hit the ground, I punch it in the back of his knees, causing it to collapse. It falls to its knees. I kick it on the side of the head, causing it to slide on the ground. The fairy user runs up on me and gives a big swing. I meet his punch with one of my own. The attack pushed the both of us back. I wave my hand because that punch hurts. The fairy user looks at me with a smile and says, “You are better than expect it now it is time to get serious. Minotaur plan alpha number two.” The minotaur roars and cover the fairy user arms and legs with rocks. The fairy user looks like they have gained huge robot legs and arms. The rocks look robotic in nature. He bends his arms and legs and starts moving around. For a guy covering in rocks, it doesn’t look like he is stiff. The minotaur roars again, and the room shakes. Columns of earth rise from the ground. Looking around well looks like I’m trapped. The minotaur hits one column causing dirt and rocks to fly towards me. With a swing of my hands, I create a mini tornado and shoots it at the minotaur. The tornado picks the rocks and dirt that was flying towards me. As the tornado was heading toward the minotaur, I jumped onto a column and shoots myself to the fairy user. As I am flying toward the fairy user, I create lightening spears. Sending them to my hand, I throw them at the fairy user. He left up both of his arms to protect himself from the attack. The moment after he blocks the attack he hits a column right next to him causing rocks being thrown my way.

I force myself upwards by having the wind push me upwards. I use too much power causing me to fly higher and faster than I wanted. Just as I was about to reach the ceiling, I turn myself around and push off. Now I was flying headfirst into the fairy user. To protect myself, I put a rock shield around me. Almost halfway to my target, the minotaur roars. The shield I created disappeared. I replace the shield with covering both of my arms with fire. The entire room temperature rose sharply. The fairy use swings his massive fist at me. Instead of me meeting his fist head on like last time, I grab his arm. I twist my body and lands on the ground. I threw a fury of punches at the fairy user midsection. Before my first punch lands the minotaur roars making a shield to protect his midsection. Fire is my main element. Do you think I will stop because you can protect yourself? No, I don’t care. I will break you here and now. His little shield breaks apart, but he didn’t care about his shield. While I was busy attacking, his midsection he raises both of his arms. He slams them both into the ground. This moron thought I wasn’t paying any attention. Dodging the attack I start attack his back. He gave me a big opening. Why shouldn’t I take it? Each time I hit him cause him to make an ugly face. He takes another swing at me. It wasn’t even worth mentioning. But because of the attack he was facing me once again. Haha this was a better attack. I dodge an attack aimed at my head from the back. The minotaur is behind me. Without making a sound he came behind me.
Now, both the fairy user and his minotaur is attacking me. They have me surrounded. I give a little smirk. All three of us attacks each other. The fairy user punches me in the face that causes me to turn around. I dodge the minotaur’s attack and reply with a punch in the abs. No, powers it turns to a straight street fight. Punching, kicking, and even biting. That stupid Minotaur tried to bite me. Ha, I punch that stupid creature in its mouth and take a bite out of his fairy user hand. It didn’t do much, but it made me feel better. As the fighting got more intense, I got faster and stronger. I am becoming like a fierce blaze willing to burn down everything in its path. Growing strong as the punches fly. There punches and kicks didn’t stop me. The strengthened me. The fairy user falters looks like that guy can’t keep up anymore to move on. I kick the fairy user away; this way I don’t have to worry about him. The man yells, “Ugh so powerful for being so young. Not only that, but also is one with his element this is harder than expected. Minotaur plan zeta this cannot go on any longer.” The minotaur jumps back.
The minotaur lets out a huge roar. Walls spring up from the ground, separating everyone. They reach up to the ceiling. I look around, hmm I am stuck inside of a Labyrinth. I punch the wall in front of my but it didn’t even make a dent on the wall. I look around and hear a roar. The wall shakes and starts moving. When everything stops moving, I can feel the minotaur walking down the hall closing in on me. Each step made a thunderous sound. I create a bolt of lightning and throws it at the wall. Boom! The wall stood firm and the only thing that happened to it was smoke coming from it. I run to the minotaur. The fairy was in front with his huge axe. I stomp my foot into the ground causing the ground beneath me to freeze. The minotaur takes a step and slips over the ice. I shoot forward to knee it in the head. The walls move again and my knee hits the wall with full force. Well, this isn’t good the minotaur and his users dupe me. The minotaur didn’t need to roar to use his powers. OK, new plan I need to find the fairy user and fast. I spread a thin layer of a flame around the labyrinth. It took a second for me to find the fairy user. I walk to the nearest wall and launch off of it. Using the wind, I flew through the maze flying right towards the fairy user. The walls shake again. The labyrinth change again but it didn’t matter I still knew where the fairy user was and still flying towards him. As I was flying toward the fairy user, I checked to see where the minotaur was inside of the labyrinth. I didn’t need any unexpected surprise while flying at this high speed. The minotaur was out of the way, so I had nothing to worry about for not. It didn’t take long for the labyrinth to once again change. The minotaur could only change the maze once everyone 10 seconds. I stop and look at the figuration of the maze once again. The minotaur put himself in the path of the fairy user. Haha well I have something for the minotaur. I jump high in the air and spins. I create lightning from my body. As I spin, I became a huge lightning bolt. I fly straight ahead towards the minotaur at full speed. It took over 10 seconds for me to get this move ready and with that the labyrinth walls change again.
I fly straight towards the minotaur he was so nice opening a straight path to him. Boom! I crash straight into the minotaur. It was enough to knock him out cold. I can feel myself running out of energy. don’t want to use it all so instead of flying, I am running to the fairy user. The minotaur is out for the count. I see the fairy user. He is in the middle of the labyrinth sitting cross leg. I ran up and punches the fairy user in the face. He opens his eyes, and the labyrinth goes back into the ground. The fairy user looks up and complains, “My fairy should have been able to finish you or make it so you can never reach me. What kind a monster are you.” He gives a pause and his eyes grew wide. He exclaims, “You are the monster our god warned about. The elders failed killing you. They should have killed you not your parents. They should have done everything in their power to kill you.” He tries to escape my grip. I hold on to him tighter. His kind made me into an orphan. Yes, people died for naturals cause but not murder. A word we haven’t used in centuries. They did the unthinkable and murder my parents.
My whole body burns. I punch the man. Again and again. Everything around me turns red. The fairy starts spiting out blood. Yet, I keep hitting him again and again. “Stop Alexander, you must stop.” I can hear people yelling but that didn’t matter. I keep hitting him. “Roar!!!” I turn around and the minotaur is standing back up. There was smoke coming out of his snout. His eyes are bloodshot and his body has gotten twice as big. I can feel the fire in my body raging. I need this another fight another opponent. I will burn him alive and leave nothing left. I kick off the ground and head straight for the minotaur. The minotaur pick up his axe. Columns raise in front of the minotaur. He swings his axe and destroys them. I have no time for these little rocks. swing my hand in front a huge lightning bolts comes from behind and atomize the rocks. Before I could give out the first punch, the minotaur swings his axe at me. I duck under it and punches it up in the sky. This causes minotaur to stagger. I jump towards the minotaur’s head. He uses his hand and takes a mighty swing. With the help of the wind, I dodge the attack. I kick him right in the face. As I fall to the ground, the minotaur kicks me in the abs. The hit causes me to spit up blood. Yes, now this is dangerous. I want more. I grab his leg and throw it in the air. I send the minotaur flying. I summon a huge wave of water. With all of my power, I have the wave slams into the minotaur. The minotaur slams into the wall. The water recede shows the minotaur even bigger. He gives out a giant roar. The ground breaks apart. Yes, we are element users not being the fight in close combat. I create a fire ball but it was only twice as big as the minotaur I want it to be even bigger. I combine both the water and wind into the fire. Adding just enough water to break the bonds and given the fire even more oxygen. The fire grew larger added the wind made it even bigger. Yes, I will burn everything. The entire world will one day be under my flame. Yes, everything will burn. As the fire was getting bigger, my body was growing weaker. I can feel my entire body losing strength. My legs were growing weaker; I couldn’t feel my arms. I look at the minotaur. He has rocks all around him flying in the air. No, everything will burn and nothing will the only that will remain is ashes. The minotaur roars once again. The rocks fly towards me and I throw my giant ball of flame in his direction. I close my eyes.
I open my eyes and look around. I was in the nurses' office. “Alexander, that was dangerous never do that again!” I turn my head and it was Elder Kyle yelling at me. “Alexander, do you know what happened after you attack the minotaur? No, because you were unconscious. The minotaur got up and got even bigger. It took Elder Jessie to capture them both. Alexander, what do you if Elder Jessie and I wasn’t here. The minotaur would have rampage inside of the school and escape with his owner. This is we tell you guys not to torture fairy users. Their fairies will go berserk and there is very little anyone can do. I could feel the hatred in the stands. Why are your powers base on fire but you have so much darkness in your heart?” I turn my head away from him. “Oh, it is like that Alexander.” He sighs and leaves the room. A nurse comes into and gives permission to leave.
I walk back to my room. As I am walking back to room, I see the moon in the distance. It was a nice night. I open the door to my room. Sitting on my bed is a large spider. I don’t have time for this, using one of my hands I try to shoo it away. The spider gives me a look. Wait, a spider is looking at me like it was above me. I summon a little air and try to brush him off of the bed. Nothing happens. I change my tactics. I summon water and try to push the spider off of the bed. I launch the water at the spider. Splash! Instead of the spider being hit with water, a gallon of water falls on top of my body. I give the spider an evil glare; It looks at me bored. "Alexander this is boring lets talk instead.” Now, the spider can talk I am going crazy. That fight took a lot out of me. “OK, spider I will play this game who are you and why do you know my name.” The spider lifts its two front legs. “I am the great Anaisa. Why does it matter why I am here? The better question would be why I told the fairies users that you were a threat that needed they needed dead.” WHAT!!!!

Oracle by Default
Oracles are known as divine handouts passed down from the Holy Creator. There are times when evil exist and the Holy Creator wishes to intervene, to which the title of the Oracle is bestowed upon an individual to become the Creator's will in physical form. The Oracle's mission is to then gather heroes from different races to purge the evil. “For the reckoning that is to come, all are tested. Thou shall be the shadow of which valiant souls shine and guide thee through harsh trials. Till oblivion comes, do not turn astray but to continue down the path thou chosen to walk. Lastly, thou must not see eye to eye with, but against the world.” A mysterious man engraved a seal onto Kihet before saving him from being consumed by the flames. The seal seems to have a strong connection with the legends of the Oracle and a Tower with no entrance that suddenly sprouted near the village. Throughout years, his efforts to study the strange tower remained fruitless. Then one day, the village decided it was time for his friends and him to become envoys to look for the potential evil the Holy Creator detected. Before Kihet can set off on his journey alongside his friends, he has his own set of problems to overcome against the village. Note: It's slow. There is romance, but it plays a small role that I don’t know if I should add it in the tags. Main story starts at Chapter 12. Chapters before do contain meaningful context for the rest of story.
