"A lady can't catch a break." Tyde sighed as she looked at her new opponent.
They were standing on the bridge over the Java river.Not one day had passed after she had reached back when her car was suddenly stopped by a party looking for a fight.
Tyde knew that she had to stay on the Yona hills to avoid trouble. But if she attracted attention towards the Logams, (she was afraid she had already done it) , it would bring about more trouble.
"Who are you?" she asked the man standing opposite her. This man looked young, about the same age as her and he was powering up. Tyde could say that he was as powerful as her.
"Remember my name well, it is Benedict Emberhood, the man who brought your end."
"And what is your reason to kill me?"
"You! How dare you touch Lady Katherine? I am fulfilling your death wish."
Tyde sighed. Maybe she was born under an unlucky star. Though he seemed childish, he too was a powerful fire clan member, a very bad combination,thought Tyde.
"Who are you to her? Her lover?" asked Tyde and Benedict turned red.
"What! No way.. How can I be her.. Forget it, draw your sword right now!" said he, powering up further.
Their swords clashed. They fought each other for some time. Both of them seemed to be evenly matched. It was her first time fighting someone on the same level. She thought it was quite enjoyable, although she was getting many injuries. This was not like fighting those weak sidekicks. Nor was it like fighting Raul Adara with whom she had no chance.
They fought on till both ran out of breath and energy.
"You are better than I thought.." said Benedict in between pants.
"You too.Why don't we take a break and start over ." suggested Tyde.
"Yeah, like in your dreams." said Benedict running up to her with his fire sword at full speed. But just then something hit him and he fell backwards. It was somebody's fire energy.
"That's enough." said someone and hearing that Benedict slowly got back up and bowed.
Tyde turned back to see who it was. It was Raul Adara.
