(3° person POV)

And again, after the whole tournament, they finally got to the fight for the Crown of Tides, that is now in the hands of the Blue King.

(Maria): “Finally the finals! Who is the Blue King today?”

She asked, curious, since she doesn’t know the names of the kings by head beside the black king, that she just saw and her friend, Luminus. Umbra chuckled, and answered:

(Umbra): “Actually, it isn’t king. It’s Blue Queen.”

(Serena): “Ara, so it’s a girl that has the Crown of Tides?”

(Umbra): “Year, it’s a girl from Germany. I heard tat she has a absurd water affinity and a gigantic pool of mana.”

He says as the two combatants enter the arena. As they enter, Mina announces their names and nicknames:

(Mina): “On the right side, The Tiderunner, Lucius, The Wave! Master in summoning creatures and surprisingly, water manipulation, an advanced magic technique and rarely used by blue mages! On the left side, The Tidebreaker, Lorelay, The Siren! She won every fight with ease, barely even using magic!”

She announced. The girl, Lorelay, “The Siren”, entered, walking proudly, dressed in blue robes modified to allow easy movement. Most surprisingly, her hair is dark blue, with light blue eyes. Her face is beautiful and delicate, with a cold expression on it.

She has rosy lips, and a very, vey pale skin, nearing literal white. Her height is around 1,60, her hair is long and straight, her body lacking some curves. On her delicate right hand, she carries a trident of her own height, maybe a bit taller. The handle is made of black wood and a head made of silvery metal.

She isn’t the first one that they see carrying a weapon in the tournament, however, she’s the first blue mage to carry in a weapon for physical combat. And so, the fight started. Lorelay waited or Lucius movement, who took six cards out of his grimoire, and three turned into blue mana, each one fowling into a separated card.

Throwing it on the ground, they exploded in water, covering the whole arena, letting their feet covered in water. Lorelay didn’t seem altered by it, looking indifferent to the water covering the whole arena. Lucius then took out ten cards, which nine turned into mana being absorbed by the last card.

Throwing it down, a giant serpent with blue scales appeared. The scales are smooth, and the snake has a pair of whiskers coming out from the front of it’s face. It’s eyes glowing with a blue hue, mixed with sea-green. The snake is for sure at least thirty-five meters long, with four meters diameter.

(Mina): “A young Sea Serpent! This creature, although still young, is a powerful and high-ranking creature! When it reaches adulthood, it will have double the size and ten times the power! As far as I know, it was tamed in the expedition in the middle of the year!”

She said, hiding the details of the incident, just to let people know from where the creature came from. Lorelai look at the serpent, who stared back at her. Lucius fought with water manipulation and lesser monster the whole tournament.

And this, this Sea Serpent, is his final trick to defeat Lorelay, who won every fight with ease by just waving her trident, and making water burst out. And so, she raised her trident, point it to the serpent. An enormous amount of water burst out, with enough pressure to destroy a house with ease.

However, the scales of the Sea Serpent started to glow, and the water lost its strength before hitting it, falling inoffensive to the ground, rising the water level on the arena, making it reach the middle of the shin. Lorelay frowned a bit, stopping the water flow.

(Mina): “AS expected, the Sea Serpents ability to control water is the bane of Lorelai! What will she do now?!”

Mina announced as the creature advanced, going to defeat Lorelay. Lucius didn’t cast any other spell or made any other move, focusing in keeping the recently tamed serpent under control, which is still a little rebellious.

Lorelay, seeing the monster approach, making the water move violently, rose her trident and hit the bottom of the weapon on the water, and immediately, the water froze, spreading out from the trident, quickly advancing to the serpent. Lorelay also manipulated the water around her legs to not to freeze and climbed atop the ice.

The serpent was forced to stop for a second to break the ice, and Lucius almost lost control of the creature since he had to jump atop the ice before it trapped his legs. While he struggled to regaining control of the serpent, who is now trashing its head, confused, Lorelay breathed in deeply.

And suddenly, she starts… to sing. The sound is absolutely beautiful, and extremely louder than it should, reaching every corner of the arena. The barrier that stops magic from going out of the fighting area activates, making a dome all around the arena. However, the barrier doesn’t stop the sound, only the magic contained in it.

The son was beautiful. There weren’t any lyrics, only the sound of her voice, echoing through the arena. For the audience, it made the heat of the battle lessen, and for Lucius, he covered his ears, gathering mana on his hands to block the magic.

The serpent, now free from his control, stood still, listening to the song. Obviously, the song seduced the serpent, making it sway lightly, following the rhythm of Lorelay’s voice. The serpent then turned back to Lucius, a murderous glint in it’s eyes. Seeing that, he left the mana on his ear as he took out his right hand.

Taking out three cards, two transformed into mana, and he threw the last one to the serpent, that had just started to advance in his direction. It exploded in blue light, entering the eyes of the snake. The snake roared, something that shouldn’t be possible for a snake, but since it’s a monster…

It suddenly stopped, raising slowly, a blue light covering its eyes. Mina suddenly says, hyped:

(Mina): “Mind control magic! Lucius takes control of his monster forcefully with a mind control spell, overcoming the power of Lorelay’s song while blocking his ears with magic!”

The serpent turns back to Lorelay, who stops singing when she sees that it didn’t work. Breathing deeply again, and then starting a more acute sound, that, as the serpent started approaching her, got louder and louder, to the point that the barrier started dampening the sound, so it wouldn’t harm the audience.

The serpent stopped, trashing in agony, and Lucius gave his all to not to fall unconscious. The ice around Lorelay started to shatter, and slowly glow in blue as well. The serpent also started to glow blue, and Lucius fell to his knees.

And then, suddenly, the ice and the serpent exploded in blue light, creating a beautiful light show. Lucius fell to the ground, blacking out, blue light escaping his body. Mina spoke in surprise:

(Mina): “The Song of Dispel! Lorelay’s exclusive magic, and the reason why she’s known as The Siren! Her voice, charged with mana, can dispel mana easily! Truly worth the nickname of the legendary creature!”

She said, as the blue mana on the arena dispersed.

(Mina): “Contestant Lucius is knocked out by mana depleting, Lorelay wins the fight for the Crown of Tides and the Title if First Queen!”
