The air was thick with tension, silence over the stadium. Rui stood poised, her thorn filled hair dancing like vipers around her. Her body an ominous aura as her lips curled into a sinister grin.
The announcer's voice rang out. "Is this the end of our hero, Alex? Has Rui claimed her victory?"
The crowd leaned forward, holding their breath. Alex knelt on the ground, his sword barely supporting him. His chest heaved, his body trembling as the poison coursed through his veins. Sweat dripped from his chin as his head hung low, his hair casting shadows over his eyes. Rui raised her thorny hair like a coiled whip, ready to deliver the final strike.
"I hope you put up more of a fight with kids as a handicap," Rui said.
The thorns closed in fast, their lethal points aimed directly at Alex's head.
