I watched as they pulled from the box with the clans in it. "The first match is …" He said as he pulled two of the symbols. "Lamia clan versus the Torent clan."
"This should be good." I said leaning forward.
"The first knights for Battle are Philip Lamia." The spectators from the lamia clan cheered as the rest of us clapped. "And the one known to all of us as the executioner Owen Wills."
I made a face as I clapped and leaned over to Maxwell. "Executioner?" I asked him.
"The Clan tournament perma death is allowed and he tends to kill his opponents." He tells me.
"Huh." I said sitting up right as I watched as they met in the ring.
"Remember no permination kills." He said looking at the Executioner.
"Yea yea I get it." He grunted.
"Good begin!" THe announcer said as he backed off till he was at the tables.
"Come here you little fuck." He said, swinging his great ax over his head and bringing it down hard on the spot that the young man had been.
"Too slow." Philip huffed as he backed away his sword in hand.
"Fuck you!" Owen snarled as I leaned over to Maxwell and whispered.
"Vulgar, intimidating, and trying way too hard to show off with flashing moves that make him slow."
"If that is not the truth, I bet many of the Torant knights are going to be showing off." He said grinning at me.
"Why?" I asked.
"This is the first time the Heir of their Clan gets to see what they can do." He said, looking at me. "I remember the first tournament that both Logan and Matthew all the Northern were showing off to the point I had to band some heads together." I sighed as I sat up right and watched as the younger knight caught his ax on his shield and he pushed Owen back and was able to get a good slash on Owens side making the male hiss and back off.
"Smart move." I said softly as I watched as the young knight stayed on the defensive as if he wanted to wear out the older knight.
"It was but now Owens looks like he is losing himself to his anger." Loren said, leaning forward.
"Yes that is true." I said watching him. "Let's hope he gets control of it soon."
"Doubtful." Maxwell said, watching him. "From what I have seen from this guy he runs on his anger."
"Lovely." I muttered as we watched the young male role past Owen to avoid a hit.
"So who are you rooting for?" Loren asked me.
"No one." I said softly. "I am neutral for all clans I aim to win." I told her.
She grins at me. "Then I hope it is you and Teacher here in the finals." She said, making me roll my eyes as I wince as the giant ax cuts off the young man's shield arm. "Oh fuck." SHe said as the black blood drops squirts out of his shoulder for a second then stops and drips.
"FUCK!" The young male screams and moves all but dropping his sword.
"Damn." I hear a bounce of my knights say.
"That was a bit much." I said softly.
"Agree but he's known for this." Maxwell said.
"I really think he's part Bloodbound." Magda whispered to us.
"Me too." Loren said as watched as the young male dodge the next round of attacks in the older night swung at him.
"Oh fuck." I said as I covered my mouth as he cut the arm of the young man off at the elbow because he wasn't fast enough.
"The Match is over! That is enough!" The announcer said as he drew his ax back looking like he was going to behead him. I acted before anyone else could. I had my shadows drag the young man down as I came up both my arms bracing my shield as the ax hit shoving me back and then I slammed my shield into his head.
"You fool!" I snapped at him, making him look shocked enough to drop his ax as my shadows gave the young male to the medic as well as his arms.. "The rule was no perma kills beheading him would have been his death you Fool!" I snarl at him. "You fool, do you know what you could have done to your clan's name if you had killed in this tournament! Go get out of this ring, cool your head down and hope they don't disqualify you for trying to do a perma kill!" I growled at him.
"But Prin."He started.
"OUT!" I yelled and he bowed and left. I hissed as I stocked back to the stands. Before someone's hand was on my arm.
"Thank you for stepping in when you did." The announcer said.
"You had called the match he should have stopped." Was all I said.
"Still Thank you Lady Arcaria."
I just hummed and went back to my seat.
"How are your arms?" Loren asked me.
"I am fine, a little numb but fine." I told her.
"I wonder what your uncle thinks of you jumping in like that?" Loren asked me.
"I think the Knight should be glad it was not her uncle." Maxwell said. "If he had killed here he would have killed him in return to even out the debt to the Lamia clan."
"Yea yea and if he would have hurt Diana he would have been dead anyways." Magda said. I know that but I can not stop the sigh.
"Well I for one am just glad we left Xavier behind." I changed that topic.
"Agreed that would have been traumatic for the little one." Loren said softly.
"I know right." A shadow raven landed on my shoulder and my uncle's voice spoke from him.
"Thank you for stopping the idiot. He was not even to be in the tournament as we know he has no control over his need to kill." Uncle said and I rolled my eyes. Of course not.
"Your welcome Uncle." I said softly.
"Be safe kiddo!" The raven dissolved afterwards.
"That answers that." I said as another Raven flew to the announcer.
"We are going to call the first match draw and disqualify both competitors one do to medical reasons and one due disobeying their King's orders. So on to the next match." The announcer said as he drew again. "Next match is the North clan and the Conver clan." He said before he moved to those and pulled out the names and called out. Lady Knight Kathrian and Lord knight Rudger." He called out.
"Fun fun lets go!" Kat said, patting my shoulder as she passed me. I rolled my eyes and smiled.
"This is going to be interesting to say the least." Maxwell said.
"You think." I asked him with a grin.
"Kat is going to break him." Magda said as we looked at the male who looked like a good breeze would knock him over.
"The rules are the same. Begin." The announcer said. Kat was on him in a second, her sword still in her sheath as her knees collided with his shield as ice started forming when she hit. She pushed herself off his shield making him stumble back and she flipped in the air landing on her feet as she narrowed her eyes at him.
"Are you done holding back?" She demanded from him.
"You are a female, you have no right to be holding the title of knight." He spat at her.
"EXCUSE YOU!" Every female knight in the arena demanded from him.
"Well if you're not a sexiest asshole." Kat said as three shards came out of the ground and became copies of her as she drew her sword.
"Oh fuck." Loren said softly.
"She's pissed." Rick said next to Maxwell.
"No shit." I agreed with him.
"Are we going to need to step in again?" Magda asked.
"No." Both Loren and I said.
"Are you sure?" She asked as Kat's attacks were cutting into the male.
"No she won't kill him, she wants to humiliate him." I said softly. "All of those cuts are shallow, showing that she is in control and she is a Lady Knight of the North. You know how we feel about being disrespected like that." I spat and she nodded.
"I set his rear end on fire." Magda agreed.
"I would have shoved a vine up his ass." Loren grinned at her.
"And I would have planted my boot up his ass if he insulted the lady knights in my match." Maxwell spoke softly.
"I think we all would." Rick said.
"Rick is scary when someone insults one of our knights." Ruth agreed.
"Ummm." The announcer said as we watched as Kat kicked him in the nuts and then in the face when he doubled over. "Yea that had to hurt."
"She always goes for the face." I muttered.
"Of course she does, it's a blow to the male ego." Rick snorts.
"Tell me about it." Maxwell said, rubbing his nose. "I remember the last time I had a sparring match with her she broke my nose."
