Quiet Burdens

Chapter Thirty-Seven

I'm going to try to get this wind shrine done in one chapter! LETS SEE HOW I DID! :D

Chapter Start!

Cole, Silvia, Gil, Rita and Emmy walking into the darkly lit shrine, for the door closed behind them.

An old figure emerged. He was short, and looked kind of like Tabitha, but a dude.

"Hello" Cole waved, "Hello Su- I mean, Cole" he smiled back.

"I see only a few of you came, don't worry, I'm not going to do what Tabitha did, she was... Into the extreme. All I'm going to have you do is have a little fight~ I want to see who the strongest is" the elderly man smiled.

"Wait, what?" Gil blinked, "But there's five of us" Rita yelled as well.

"Oh right..." the man thought out loud.

Silvia sank, Fight? Really?

Emmy was all for it~

The man sighed, "Well, I'll bring in an extra, monster, to fill in the odd numbers~" he gave a smile.

"Anyway, what's your name?" Cole stepped forward. The elderly man looked over, and sighed, "My name is Mack"

~~~

After getting ready, and Mack setting the group up for when night comes, he showed them around his cozy little shrine.

They followed him down to an arena, then showed them who vs. who.

Cole vs. Silvia

Gil vs. Rita

Emmy vs. Monster

They started the next day.

~~~

The next morning

Cole was team to fight Silvia, they gave watch other a look.

"So... no weapons?" Silvia gave a smile, looking a Cole's gun.

"Yeah... But I don't want to hit you..." Cole sank, "Gil would kill me, not mentioning the King!" she laughed to that, "How about Magic only?

"Magic? Silvia, I'm not very good at that..." Cole thought out loud.

"Then you can stand there and let me beat you up" she smiled.

"... Fine magic battle it is ..."

~~~

Cole handed his jacket to Emmy, and stepped up to the arena, as Silvia pulled her hair back from her face, she walked up on the other side.

Cole gave her a look, and she smirked. "What?" she asked "Are you scared?"

"Well, yes, I gave Emmy my jacket, and I can see her smelling it"

Emmy sat next to Rita, who gave the younger teen a look, she smelled Cole's dark green jacket, exclaiming; "It Smells Like Roses!"

"Good point" Silvia shrugged.

"let's just get this over with" He shook his head, putting his hands up to fight.

Mack walked up, and looked at them, "Well, I see we have the light weights here, are you both ready to fight?"

The two nodded, and Mack started the fight.

Silvia swirled wind around, making herself fly, she spun in the air.

Cole took a step back, forming balls of light in his hands.

Silvia zoomed down, pushing Cole off his feet, the teen fell, then rolled away, only to throw a ball of light at her, knocking her from the air.

The princess fell, getting up slowly, she pushed the air towards Cole, making him fall back, she kicked an air slash, knocking Cole back further.

"Stop That!" he yelled at the floating princess.

She smirked, and did it again, and again.

Cole rolled closer and closer to the edge of the ring.

As soon as he was about to fall off, the teen stood, "Enough!" he throw an arm, sending a shock wave of light toward the princess, knocking her down, and out of the ring.

"Winner! Cole!"

~~~

Gil smirked, stepping up, pulling out both swords. "This'll be fun!" he smiled.

Rita walked up, staff in hand.

They have fought before always ends in a tie...

They loved fighting each other, they've done it before. On the Ship, at Snow Bush Village, even once at the capital of Harstar during a tournament.

They always get ties...

Mack came hobbling up, and started the fight.

Rita started quickly, slacking her staff downers, Gil pulled both swords up, stopping the glow, wind swayed away from them by the force.

The two jumped back, both pulling their magic up, and slashing it at each other, it sprayed backward and up, creating a bright lava red and sea blue flower.

Gil the jumped over the beauty, then cut down ward, Rita jumped out of the way and Gil rolled.

They traded blows for a few minutes, until Rita flared up with flames, and knocked Gil's swords away.

He gave her a look, and she smirked.

He smirked too.

Gil pulled out some water, and turned it into two Ice blades; "Ready?"

Chapter End!
