The room was so silent one could hear the distinct sound of hearts thumbing heavily and echoing out their chest.
One move! A single move from either of the four could change the course of the room, turning the layout upside down.
Both sides stared, waiting for the other to make their move. Marcus knew what he was in for and had explained it to his colleagues. They have been briefed on the danger this opponent poses and know he is not to be taken lightly.
Mikeal broke the ice by making the first move. Trying to ease up his tensed body, he moved a muscle on his right arm. His action led the opposing side to also make their move.
Wyatt the twin dagger user somehow disappeared from his sight while Toban the fist user took advantage of that confusion to attack Mikeal.
