The Second Round

  “Let’s have another round.”

  Agile-Eye said while eyeing me. Why did she want to play now?

  “Alright,” Gibralla said.

  “No. Only the adults will play.”

  She joined the pit along with the other two men. Were they also going to play? What was going on?

  Nonetheless, I was ready to take them down. Gibralla took down one member of the GOU — so how strong were the rest?

  Fattaralla and Quen-alla created a storm of gray sand, dusting the air and blocking all sight.

  My hands flexed before I quietly lowered myself down to grab a handful of sand. I stood up, ears perking as I picked up movement from the far right.

  The tale has been stolen; if detected on Amazon, report the violation.

  Who was that?

  With careful steps, I moved further in.

  Movement — too loud for this game.

  It sounded like two people engaging with each other. Who could they be? The red-hooded woman and the man in the dark-navy suit—or Aureolo?

  What was happening?

  My sight wasn’t the best.

  The harsh wind cleared the view, and it was just the red-hooded girl and I who were left in the pit.

  Who took out whom?
