The mood was solemn in Ning's corner. After Issi's death, no one wanted to do anything but the next competition to start. Maybe then they would be able to put their minds on something else.
Ning waited for Genesis to start picking another gem when he felt something shake slightly next to him.
It wasn't just him that felt it, but Drake and Derel did too. So, they all turned around to Nova who couldn't stop shaking her leg.
"You okay, Nova?" Drake asked.
Nova's leg kept on moving while she shook her head as well.
"What are you worried about? It's do or die, little wyrm. Even if you don't want to, you will have to," Derel said.
"I would rather die," Noval said softly.
"What?" Derel looked angry. "Don't say that. Don't be a coward."
Ning quickly stopped Derel from speaking anymore. "You don't mean that, Nova," Ning said.
