Aureil was on his knees, his body was still upright because of the swords which were acting as a stand while Lucian was lying on the ground, everyone in the arena was silent and they both were surrounded by a body of armoured warriors which Aureil has taken down few seconds before he heard something.
Everyone in the crowd knew what has happened today was not normal, no one can take down warriors with this amount of ease and while they can heal themselves in minutes.
Students were chattering and this was obvious, although everyone was on the ground Auriel was still on his knees and was breathing so today history has been made.
With a great bang, the combat was concluded, healers ran towards the warrior.
"I have heard he's strong but this much, he can challenge Generals with this strength !", students were gossiping about everything they can bang their heads on and they were the best muscle and brain of the nation.
Auriel and Lucian were taken to the infirmary along with other combatants, students were going back towards their dormitories and were mimicking moves that were used.
But there was something few noticed and others didn't that Aureil stopped in the middle and something overtook him.
Everyone in the infirmary was standing around Auriel it was something they have never witnessed until now, most of his wounds on his shoulders and thighs weren't bleeding and they have almost healed although he still had a metal sword stuck inside him and they were waiting for the healer to remove it.
The healer came and asked them to lay him down over his stomach. She grabbed the sword and started removing it slowly and in the next movement she was hanging in the air. Auriel had woken up and had grabbed her by her neck and he saw directly into her eyes they were big sapphire eyes like deer's, his head stormed with thoughts "she's beautiful.., He must leave her... he'll break her.., she's weak.., he must be far from her she so calming.., he doesn't want to leave the touch.., her skin was so warm.., she's beautiful..."
"No need to fear, you're alright Auriel", she smiled while trying not to suffocate, he again drowned in darkness still holding consciousness for long was not something he was able to do and fell on the bed draining the whole sheet red.
Everyone had backed down except her, she was trying to balance herself and when she was on her feet again, she asked for a bandage and thread to sew the cuts.
The whole infirmary was silent, other healers who were there to help were just standing while she was carefully sewing the sword wounds, her cloak was lying on the ground, the shutter swinging because of outside wind was the only noise anyone was able to hear, she took a deep breath and removed her hair in front of her eyes with blood-drenched hands, she stood and smiled, "Done, Now he'll be fine".
She put a blanket over Auriel and went on to attend to other combatants.
