The sun broke through the darkness and crept over the high stone walls of the Hendrik quadrant. Aurelia slept peacefully in Begron's warm embrace. Luci sprinted in with a rising roar, wearing a curtain as a Kāṣāya leaping on top of them. The two groaned and cringed curling in. "Wake up! Yam-Yam said he would be here!" She said running around their room. "Your child is excited to leave. Take her." Begron said groggy. She rolled her caressing Begron's face. "Mmm, I can't wait to feel his chin between my legs..." Begron's eyes shot wide open bloodshot and trembling. Aurelia kept her eyes closed with a smirk stretched across her face. "Mmmm, how can he be so tender yet so firm!?" "Alright, I'm up." "Juice please." Aurelia said snuggling with her pillow. "Anything else my princess?" Begron said licking his teeth. She shook her head with a satisfied grin. "You know I'm not getting you that juice right?" "That's fine." She said turning over. Begron wrapped his hand around the door with Luci bouncing up and down beside filled with energy. "He'll have plenty for me anyway." He walked out letting out a long exasperated sigh.
Luci ran circles around Begron as they made their way through the hallway. "You're excited. Is he really that amazing?" She nodded filled with energy. "More amazing than me?" Begron pouted. Luci puckered her lips cocking her head to the side. "I don't know, but he's super strong!" She threw her arms up flexing her biceps. Begron picked her up by the pits swinging her around. "No one is stronger than you." She giggled in his grip. An Elven commander accompanied by an Artraxian honour guard greeted the two. The honour guard wore bronze armour from head to toe shaped like a lion, wielding a giant pole axe made of Orichalcum. "Your guest has arrived." The honour guard said with a deep brooding voice. "I did not need you, to tell my father that." "Sure thing bastard." Before the two could swing for their weapons Begron stood between them glaring at the honour guard. He gulped staring down the famed Magic Knight. "I would ask that you not insult my kin in front of my face, and you are to be on guard duty."
Begron took Luci onto his shoulder. "Have a nice day, to the both of you." Luci whispered into Begron's ear. "Daddy, what was cousin's name?" "I have no idea." Begron sniggered with Luci joining in with a snicker. Yamada sat outside the gates with the sun cresting over him. He sat in a meditative state floating in the air. "Waaaa! Daddy look! He's flying." She hissed ecstatic. "That's a wind affinity right?" "No...he's doing something that can take years for anyone to master." "Really!? Can I say hello to him?" "Don't fall in your dress." "It's not a dress! It's...It's what he's wearing." "You don't know what it's called do you?" "I'll find out." She pouted hammering his head. He winced with a smile letting her down. She sprinted over tripping on her curtain. Begron grimaced jogging over to her aid. He stopped seeing Yamada sprint to her aid. 'Fast and skilled. I didn't even hear him come down.' "Hey, hey. What's wrong?" Yamada asked. Luci sat up with her face covered in dirt. Tears and snot forming. He cocked his head to the side.
"Why are you crying? Did it hurt?" She nodded. "And be*sniff*be*sniff*because I'm dirty." "That's not a reason to cry. Look." Yamada slammed his face into the dirt beside her. Begron jumped startled at how violently he did it. Yamada looked up with dirt covering his entire face. "There now we're both dirty." Luci looked at him confused. "Does it still hurt?" She shook her head looking at him wide eyed. He gave her a warm smile and helped her up. "Hmm your Kāṣāya is too loose and long." Begron watched as Yamada tied the curtain around her. She giggled in awe jumping up and down. "Daddy look!" She said excitedly. "Now we match Yam-Yam! Oh wait. She sat down trying to take off her shoes." "Lu-lu." Begron said firmly. "The shoes stay on." "But Yam-Yam doesn't have any shoes on." "That doesn't mean you take yours off. Now before you go we need to clean your face." "Why can't you make your face like ours?" She pouted giving him a puppy stare. "I am not-"
"That's okay. Only strong people have dirty faces." "Yeah! Only strong people have dirty faces." "I!...eugh..." Begron knelt down gently placing his face into the dirt. He sat up with a light dusting on his face. "Happy?" Luci and Yamada shared a glance. Yamada leant into Luci's ear. "He's the least dirtiest, we'll let him be the weakest one." Luci nodded. Begron sucked on his teeth. Aurelia strolled out in a flowing emerald dress. "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go see-" She froze on the spot seeing the three of them covered in dirt. "I can explain." Begron said scared to see her reaction. "Daddy fell first." Luci snickered covering her mouth. "I-" "It's true. We didn't want him to feel bad so we made our faces dirty too." Yamada said. Luci buried her face into Yamada's leg trying her hardest to not laugh. Aurelia broke out into a laughter, with Luci joining in. Begron pursed his lips trying his best to not laugh, but it had been weeks since he heard their laughs.
Begron took a handful of dirt. Yamada took a step back pulling Luci with him. He threw the handful of dirt into Auerlia's face. He let out a loud chortle as she gasped. She glared at him spitting out the dirt in her mouth. Begron chuckled and turned to Yamada and Luci hiding behind the gate, peeking back at him. His smile disappeared and he stopped looking back at Aurelia seething at him. "Um dear..." "Run." She growled. "Sweetie, I can-" She snatched his ear with her left and his testicles in the other. "Right or left!?" She snapped. "Ahhh!" He winced. "Is there any chance-MMM!" He cringed feeling her tug and squeeze on both. "Choose or I twist." "Should we help daddy?" "I don't think he can be helped." "But...I think Mummy is going to kill him." "Hmm..." Yamada watched as Begron writhed and curled in. "Okay, but don't get angry at me." "Why would I-" Yamada snatched Luci by the back and threw her high into the air.
She let out a scream alerting the two of them. Yamada leapt high into the air with her. Before he could reach her Begron was in front of him glaring him down. The two glared at each other. Luci's giggle and cheery laugh snapped Begron out of his glare. He looked to her laughing. "HIGHER! HIGHER!" She cheered. The three floated down with Aurelia rushing over and hugging Luci tightly. "Are you okay? Are you hurt?" Luci shook her head and smiled. Aurelia snatched Yamada by the collar. "HOW DARE YOU PUT MY DAUGHTER-" "Aurelia." Begron said firmly. "He-" "She was completely safe." He held his hand out, with Yamada shaking it. "You're incredibly skilled for someone of your age." "How do you know I'm young? I could have a great Blessed with me." Begron turned Yamada's hand showing the heavy scars. Aurelia was shocked at how thick they were. Luci stared in awe at them. "Young people keep scars." Yamada pulled his hand away. "Yama-" Luci cut Aurelia off grabbing Yamada's hand.
"They look so cool!" Yamada cracked a smile at her oddity. "How did you get them!?" "Luci!" Aurelia scolded. Yamada knelt down showing her his knuckles. "I don't think you could handle getting these." Luci pouted crossing her arms. "Why not?" "Because you cried falling down before." "I didn't cry!" She barked proudly. "She fell?" Aurelia said in Elvish with a distinct tone of malice and evil in it. Begron took a step away from her. She quietly yanked on his ear pulling him in closer. Yamada raised his hand. "If you want scars like this. You have to break my hand with a punch." He said smiling at her. "HMPF! Easy!" Luci took a step back cocking back her fist. "You don't have to-" "HI-YAH!" Her fist connected with a light slap sound. Yamada cocked an eyebrow with a disappointed look. Luci looked at Yamada. "Is your hand broken?" He wrapped his fingers around her small hand. "You won't break any hands with a punch like that." "But daddy said that's how you throw a punch."
Begron felt Aurelia's cold stare on his skin, making his spine tingle. "Yamaxon. Why don't you teach Luci how to punch on my dear husband here?" Begron turned his gaze to Aurelia filled with audacity. "I don't think-" "Daddy's really strong! He can take it!" "I don't think-" "You wanted to test his strength didn't you?" She said in Elvish. "I feel like there's another way-" "I don't think your dad would like me hitting him." "Oh, but I insist." Aurelia said. "Dear, I think you made your point-" "Are you scared of daddy?" Begron reeled back irritated. Aurelia gasped. "I think he is." "I am not scared." "Then take the punch."
Begron pursed his lips together and begrudgingly took a few steps away. He puffed out his chest. "Punch me." Luci threw her hands up in the air. "YAY! Hit him Yam-Yam!" Yamada scratched his head the two of them looking at each other awkwardly. "Are you sure?" Yamada asked. Begron gave a solemn nod. Aurelia took Luci away as she bounced up and down filled with energy. Yamada lowered himself for a punch. "First you plant your feet for good power." Luci nodded. "Keep your fist loose." "Why loose?" Luci asked cocking her head to the side. Yamada threw a practice punch from his stance. Begron stared on stunned feeling the wind coming from his fist. "That's with my fist tight and tensed. This is with a loose fist." He threw three lightning fast punches. "Waaaa." Luci and Aurelia said in awe, both looking at Begron's regretful expression. "Tense muscles make it hard to move fast. So you need to keep relaxed." "Have you learned it Lu-Lu?" Begron asked through his smile.
"Oh, but he hasn't even thrown a proper punch yet." Aurelia said. Begron sucked on his teeth. "Next, you take a step forward and really stomp your foot down. Like this." Yamada planted his lead foot down with a heavy thud. His next step cracked the dirt apart. Aurelia's eyes bulged and a smile stretched across her face. "Stop enjoying this." He said in Elvish to her. "I can't help it." She giggled back. "Then you turn your hip and shoulder in one go. Here it should look like this." Yamada took a step back, completing the motion in one go. Begron flinched feeling the wind generated from it. Yamada stood up. "See?" Luci looked down disappointed. "What's wrong?" Yamada and Begron asked. "You didn't even punch Daddy." "Oh dear! How could you deny her like this?" Luci sniffled. "I know she's faking." Begron whispered. "Yes, but he doesn't." She smiled and winced. "Here, I'll hit him." "Wait wha-" Begron turned to Yamada. He delivered a swift jab into his gut.
Begron retched tasting his morning juice. He forced himself up right. "YAY!" Luci leapt for joy. "Daddy did it hurt?" He shook his head smiling through the pain. "Can you show me again?" "Alright that's enough of that. Let's go for a walk." Begron said patting his stomach. Luci cheered and let out a whoop. "Can I sit on your shoulders?" Luci asked Yamada. "Sure!" Begron's jaw dropped heartbroken and betrayed. "What about my shoulders?" He muttered. "There, there. How's your belly?" "I'm fine." He said sticking out his chest. "Really?" "No." He whimpered curling in. The two walked behind Yamada and Luci sauntering through the streets of the Hendrik quadrant. "What do you think of him now?" Aurelia asked in Elvish. "He's strong, and skilled, at such a young age as well. Those scars as well." "Yes. I saw. They're from-" "Rage. A long lasting one." "He doesn't seem angry." "The Maelstrom is the scariest when it is calm."
Yamada bounced Luci on his shoulders making her gently float down each time. She turned back to Begron. "How come you never make me float like this daddy?" "I-I could do that. Here let me show you." "I want Yam-Yam's shoulder." Begron took a deep breath through his nose. "Oh look. Your daughter already has legs on his shoulders." Begron snapped Aurelia a glare. "That's not funny." He growled. "Look in a mirror and you'll agree with me." "Yamaxon was it?" Begron said approaching him. "Yes..." "I can see you are skill and strong, but if I am to leave you in charge of protecting, the two most important people in my life. I need to properly test you." "What do you want me to do?" "Well...you could-" Luci gasped. "The big sword!" "Huh?" Yamada asked looking up to her. "The loud woman and man, made daddy pull this big sword, but he couldn't do it." "That wasn't necessary to add." Begron sulked. "Yes it was."
"Lu-Lu, no one can pull that sword out. What would making...Yam-Yam?" Yamada shrugged not caring about what he was called. "Making him waste energy on it, would just be rude to him wouldn't it?" Luci lowered her head nodding. "Although." Aurelia added. Begron turned back signalling for her to not say anything. She smiled back showing the remnants of dust on her face. "If Yamaxon here could lift the sword higher than you could..." "Yes...I suppose that would make him stronger than me...in one aspect at least."
"Yamaxon, would you like to test your strength?" Aurelia asked. "Um...do I get to keep the sword?" Begron scoffed. "Sure." "Okay I'll do it." The four made their way to the coliseum. The two spoke in Elvish. "I'll do it he says. Speaking like he can move it." "You sound scared again." "I'm not scared. I'm laughing at how stupid young people are. So full of energy." "What were you saying again to Luci that day? Watch as daddy pulls that sword out for you?" Begron turned away going red. "I'll make sure you get to keep it." "I get it." "I'll pull it out with one hand." "Alright." "No one is stronger than your father, bwahahaha." "I don't laugh like that." "Yes you do." Aurelia said nudging him. Yamada turned back to the laughing couple and stopped. "What's wrong?" Begron asked. "I'm lost. Where are we?" The two looked at him askance. "Are...are you being serious right now?" Aurelia asked. Yamada nodded. "I don't know where I'm going." Begron raised his finger still trying to fathom Yamada. Luci tugged on his hair, guiding him like a horse. She pointed dead ahead. "See the big circle?" "Mmhmm." "Luci. Don't pull on his hair like that." Aurelia frowned.
"That's the col...coll...mummy how do you say it?" "Coliseum." "That. The sword is in there." "Oh!" Begron and Aurelia shared a concerned glance. "He was actually being serious." "I think all that training made him stupid." Begron said through his teeth. Luci yanked on his hair like a pair of reins. "Daddy, can we race there?" "Oh? Are you challenging me?" "You and Yam-Yam." "But he's carrying you dear. It's unfair to him." Aurelia said. "What if you ride daddy?" Yamada shared an awkward glance with the two of them. "Isn't it your turn to ride him?" Aurelia went bright red. "I beg your pardon?" "I heard daddy say I'm going to ride you all night." Begron and Yamada sucked in their lips trying their best to not laugh out loud. Aurelia sucked on her teeth, leaping onto Begron's back. "Okay, let's race dear." She leant into Begron's ear. "Lose and I'll be riding him." She whispered.
Yamada and Begron stood side by side staring at the Coliseum in the distance. Nearly five kilometres away the top ring peeked over the other structures. "No cheating daddy." "I would never." "You always use your magic. No magic." Luci pouted. He chuckled. "Okay. No magic. Ready?" He asked Yamada. "Tell me when." Aurelia stuck three fingers up. "First one to the gate wins. Now get ready. Three. Two. One...GO!" Begron and Yamada took off crushing the ground beneath them. Luci and Aurelia's head snapped back. Luci and Aurelia screams were drowned out by the rushing winds. Begron and Yamada were neck and neck weaving through the streets, leaping over obstacles with precision height to ensure maximum speed. The two sprinted down the streets with a grin across their face. Begron took the lead by a few steps. "We're losing!" Luci shouted clinging on for dear life. "Not for long!" Yamada timed a giant pulse of Arcane Energy with Begron lifting his foot off. The rising force knocked him off balance and everything else in a ten metre radius into the air.
He stumbled on the landing, with Yamada rushing past him. Aurelia felt Begron's grip on her behind tighten. "Beg-YAH!" Aurelia was whipped back by the force. Begron sprinted at full speed getting into range of Yamada. He released a similar pulse knocking Yamada off balance, except Yamada's drove his feet through the ground powering through. Begron and Aurelia's eyes bulged seeing him tear through the ground and continue to run at full speed. "You're going to lose!" Begron gnashed his teeth together. The goal line was drawing closer. Aurelia heard the distinct sound of his boots tearing and ripping open at the seams. His feet draconified. "That's chea-AAAAH!" Begron quickly caught up to Yamada. The two were neck and neck, both spotted the finish line. Both let out a defiant grunt pushing themselves to their limit. "SLOW DOWN!" Aurelia scolded. Yamada and Begron leapt into the air, the two released a stream of Arcane Energy floating them down.
Luci sprinted around with an excited whoop her hair stuck trailing behind. Aurelia quickly tried to compose herself still flustered from the excitement. She adjusted her hair and dress. Begron and Yamada sat on the ground huffing and puff with a grin across their face. "That was...that was quite an interesting technique." Begron said. "Thanks...you have some interesting feet." Begron looked down to his boots torn and tattered. He and Yamada chuckled. Luci giddily danced between them. "Again! Again! Can we race again!?" Begron pulled her into his arms. "Okay, but you have to carry me." "That's okay, that means Yamaxon will ride me." Aurelia said. Begron pushed Luci out grabbing Aurelia into his arm. "Same teams." He smiled awkwardly. Begron noticed Yamada stand up his breath already almost under control. "The rumours of how intense the monks of Kumo train is no joke." He said to Aurelia. "That he is an absolute spectacle." Begron covered her eyes. "Mmm, he looks ever better in my imagination. All naked and-" Begron hoisted her up and over his shoulder. "Okay, let's go try and move this sword!?" Aurelia smirked on his shoulder.
The four entered through the gates of the coliseum. A lanky bald man threw his hands up in the air. "AH YOU'RE BAC-" The three winced at his boisterous voice. "Ooh! Sorry." He bowed. "Are you back to fight again Lord-" "No, not me this time. It would be this one here." The man eyed Yamada up and down. "Hmmm we've had so many Monks before. Always very boring. No offence." "Why are they boring?" "They always lose. Too much peace talk not enough fighting." "I just want to lift the sword." Yamada said. "Ooooh! You want to test your might? Why didn't you say so? Those always end so quickly-" "Actually...I believe it is tradition that one must win three fights in the arena before testing their might correct?" Begron said. "Yes it is." "Sure you could make exception like you did for my husband?" Aurelia said eyeing Begron. "Well...not everyone is like-" "It's okay. I should probably warm up anyway." "See? He's okay with it." "Well, the fights don't start for another hour. What's your name?" "YAM-YAM!" Luci boasted confidently. The man looked at Yamada. He shrugged back. "Alright Yam-Yam, come with me."
"Stay safe." Begron waved. "Was that necessary?" Aurelia said. "What? I need to make sure he can fight." He said walking towards the stand with Luci. "He's faster than you and clearly knows how to fight." "Yes, but I need to know if he can handle fighting in a more...realistic scenario." She folded her arms. "If anything happens, I'll save him." "You better. I refuse to stay cooped up in that place." The three took a seat in the front row under an emerald blanket with breakfast being brought to them. "AHHH YOU JOIN US AGAIN BEGRON!" Queen Xenarith said. Aurelia and Luci quickly covered their ears. Begron covered his wince before turning to her with a smile. He gave a small bow. "Queen Xenarith. How are you this today?" "Don't make it talk more." Aurelia hissed in Elvish. "THE COMBANTANTS TODAY ARE GOING TO SO EXCITING!" Luci buried her head into Kāṣāya, Aurelia using grapes to plug her ears. "I look forward to it." Begron said dying on the inside. "ARE YOU COMING!?" King Xenarith shouted from the other side. "I'M COMING DAMN IT! JUST WAIT!" Luci fell to the ground.
Yamada was lead to a waiting room. Every kind of warrior waited in the room with him. Burly or lean their muscles were covered in oil to make them pop more. Yamada looked around at them wielding all sorts of weaponry and dressed in various armours all made of Orichalcum. The largest of them a hulking man with a square face and sausages for fingers poked Yamada. "What are you doing here monk?" He asked with a thick gruff voice. "I'm here to pull that sword out?" Yamada said raising an eyebrow. "HA! You think you can move the sword of Axlun?" "Who?" Everyone rolled their eyes letting out exasperated sighs at him. "I bet you aren't even strong enough to move me." He shoved Yamada only moving himself back. Yamada looked down at his Kāṣāya now covered in oil. "Don't touch me with your hands like that. I don't have anywhere to wash this." The man threw a wide hook. Yamada caught his punch, moving it to the side. "We're meant to fight in there. That's what the old man said. It can wait." He gulped and took a few steps back before running away.
Luci frowned slumping over the railing. "When's Yam-Yam coming out?" A horn blew out. "That means it's almost time. We have to wait for everyone to take their seat." Luci reeled back letting out a long groan as excited Artraxians shuffled into the stands. "I want to see him fight!" "You never want to see me fight." "You're boring daddy." Begron reeled back gasping clutching his heart. Aurelia sniggered covering her mouth. "Why am I boring?" "I can't see anything. You always go WHOOSH! And then I go AHH MY EYES! And then they go bleh. And then I'm meh." "She paints quite the word image doesn't she?" "The goal of fighting is to win, not have fun." "You always say-" Begron quickly clasped her mouth looking back to Aurelia. "Ahhh! I don't say anything different." He gave a scared smile to her. Another horn blew. "TAKE YOUR SEATS! THE FIRST FIGHTER IS..." The announcer trailed off. The three peered out into the middle seeing the announcer scratching his head. "Are you sure? Really?...Alright." He shrugged.
"Ladies and gentlemen. Today we have a different kind of show today. A Monk from Kumo named...wait is that really his name? He sounds like a fruit! Fine! Fine! I'll read his stupid name. His name is Yam-Yam?" The crowd went silent with Luci's cheers ringing hollow. "He will be fighting our strongest opponent." "THIS IS STUPID!" King Xenarith shouted. Every Elf in the stands winced and cringed at his voice. "WHERE ARE THE OTHER COMBANTANTS!?" "Uhhh...They've withdrawn from today my lord." "I SAW OVER A HUNDRED OF THEM!" "Yes...all of them have withdrawn their applications." Murmurs rippled through the stands. Begron sat forward intrigued. "NOT TO WORRY! SEND IN ABRAXUS!" The crowd stood up to their feet cheering and roaring. "Abraxus?" Aurelia asked rubbing her ears. "Hmm...I hope it's not the same one." Begron said concerned. "Who is he daddy?" "You'll see." He said taking a seat. Aurelia watched him engrave a Light gate into his arm rest.
Yamada walked out looking around amazed at how large everything was. "YAM-YAM!" He waved back at Luci eagerly waving to him. Urkse and Valsko watched from the sides. "What kind of fucking name is Yam-Yam?" Valsko asked. "More importantly, how is he from Kumo?" Valsko shrugged. "Maybe he escaped when it crashed. Seriously what kind of mother would name their kid something that stupid?" The ground shook and quaked. The ground beneath the king and queen's seat collapsed into a large tunnel. A giant claw emerged ripping out of the ground. It dug its bronze nails into the ground. A Drake with obsidian scales emerged billowing out a roar. "Begron...who or what is Abraxus? " Aurelia said clencing her seat. Luci rushed into her arms terrified at the sight. "A man who tried to be a Forsaken Knight." Yamada looked up to the ferocious Drake snarling at him, standing over 30 metres tall, and bound by a mythril collar. It whipped its tail across the ground cracking the hard ground. Yamada looked around awkwardly as the tunnel behind it closed. The arena erupted into loud cheers. "Did you know there were tunnels below this place?" Urkse asked. "Nope, but that Monk is fuuuuuuucked!" Valsko said letting out a whistle. "KILL HIM!" He cheered.
"Daddy...is he going to be okay?" "I'll keep him safe. Don't worry." Yamada tapped the announcer on the shoulder. "Um...do I get a weapon?" "You didn't take one from the armoury?" He hissed back. "They were all too small and light." "Beggars can't be choosers!" He said running off. "But I'm not begging?" Yamada said scratching the back of his head. "They told me, I'd get a sword, but there's nothing here." The king raised his hand. "BEGIN!" he shouted with the collar dropping. Abraxus let out a roar lunging at Yamada. He leapt high into the air dodging the attack. Luci clutched her heart. Yamada landed on his nape and brought down a powerful blow. "Don't punch his scales!" Begron scolded. "Why?" Luci asked. "They're made of Deiridium." To everyone's shock, Abraxus's legs buckled and he collapsed into the ground. Yamada shook his fist frowning at them. "Damn your scales are hard."
Abraxus shook him off , and shook his head, still clearly dazed by the attack. Yamada looked to the king and queen. "Am I meant to kill him?" "YES!" Yamada reeled back confused at their anger. "BEHIND YOU!" Luci shouted. Yamada craned his head back to see Abraxus wildly charging at him. Yamada took a deep breath lowering himself. He stopped himself remembering that an affinity strike would release a distinct azure flash. Yamada's eyes widen and he leapt out of the way. Luci let out a sigh of relief.
Yamada stood up scratching his head. 'How am I meant to fight him now? I can't let them know my affinity, and I don't have Harbinger anymore. MMM...' "Is he in deep thought right now!?" Begron asked annoyed. Abraxus let out a roar swiping at him. "Will you shut up!? I'm trying to think!" Yamada blocked his paw, shocking everyone. He dug his hands onto the scales and let out a roar of his own throwing Abraxus through the air. Begron's jaw dropped with everyone else's. Yamada let out a frustrated sigh scratching his head. 'Mmm, maybe I can go inside and kill him that way? Yeah, I'll do that.' Abraxus stood up shaking himself off and sprinted at him. Yamada bounced on his toes and loosened his shoulders. "Daddy...what's he doing now?" "I have no fucking idea." Begron said. Aurelia slapped his arm also watching entranced. Yamada dove head first into Abraxus's gullet. The whole crowd heard the distinct sound of Yamada being swallowed.
The king and queen broke the silence first with their audacious laughter. The crowd slowly joined in. "Did...did he just dive head first into that thing's stomach?" Aurelia asked. "Yes..." "WHY!?" She shouted. Abraxus let out a proud roar before it abruptly stopped. The crowd went silent with him. He fell back writhing in agony, his roars became bloody and filled with fluids. Abraxus tossed and turn clawing at his chest for a few seconds before he went limp and lifeless with a stream of blood gushing out of his orifices. Yamada crawled out covered in steaming blood wiping his face and eyes. "Eugh...this feels gross." "What..." Aurelia said. "The..." Begron said. "Fuck." Luci said astonished. Yamada stopped looking around confused at everyone's expression. He smiled back at them. "Ahaha, I almost got eaten." He chuckled flicking blood off.
Yamada spotted the hilt sticking out of the ground. "Oh hey! Is this the sword you were talking about!?" Yamada shouted to them. They nodded. He approached it inspecting the handle. 'Hmm! It even looks like Harbinger's handle.' He wrapped his hand around the hilt. Giving it a gentle tug Yamada felt its weight surprising him. 'Oh. You're heavier, but!' Yamada grinned grabbing it firmly. The whole crowd watched as Yamada effortlessly ripped the sword out of the ground slinging it over his shoulder.
He inspected Axlun's dagger, a perfect replica of Harbinger's shape and design. The only difference its increased weight, nearly five times heavier. He sauntered over to Aurelia, Begron and Luci. He leapt up to their seat nearly ten metres high. Begron watched him land as if he weighed as much as a feather. "Aww what? You guys had breakfast already!? Is there any left for me?" "Wh...what are you?" Begron stammered. "Umm...what do you mean?" "How...how are you moving that right now like it weighs nothing?" "It's not that heavy?" "WAAA!" Luci cheered. "YOU'RE STRONGER THAN DADDY!" "Yeah I am! Oh wait. Do I get to keep this now?" "You...you should probably ask the king and queen over there." Begron said still processing the sight. "I'll be back. I know your ears are sensitive." Yamada leapt down, again making no impact. Begron watched on in complete shock. He sprinted over to king and queen Xenarith leaping up to their stand. "Hey, do I get to keep this thing?" The two nodded with their jaws hanging. "WOOO! THEY SAID I CAN KEEP IT!"
