"Dear Adventurers, welcome to the Red Bubble Playground! A Bubble War will begin in a short while. Please take your position!"
"Position?" I turned to Aurendiria, giving her a quizzical look.
She was equally puzzled. "What Bubble War?"
While we were trying to understand the instruction that we just heard, the double door at the ends of the hall opened up and a bunch of small bubble monsters poured out.
To be exact, the red ones poured out from the door behind us and the green ones from the door in front of us.
"War! War! War!" they chanted in a high-pitched voice.
Aurendiria and I both took our battle stances, but the small monsters did not mean to attack us.
"Heave-ho!" they cried as they swept us off our feet.
The green ones got me while the red ones got Aurendiria.
"Antares!!!" Auren cried, extending her hand after me.
"Auren!!!"
We did not have time to be dramatic because both of us were quickly kidnapped to where the respective bubble monsters came from.
