Chapter Twenty-Three

Matt threw himself in front of the firebolt blasted from the giant, flame-covered salamander. It resembled its non-magical cousins, but it happened to be several yards long and could spit magical flames. The fire-intensive Louper quarter-final match began to get on his nerves, and they’d not even spotted a single player from the opposing team, the Dallas Fireflies.

Flying flame imps, a deep-voiced pixie who spat smoke and flame, and several boiling mud traps had been their direct enemies in the match thus far.

The shifter grimaced and stumbled back but kept the monster’s attention mostly on him.

The ground shook, and the three large volcanic vents that surrounded them billowed smoke, ash, and burning rock. Unlike their qualifier match, their tracking spells worked this time and they knew they were close to the end of the match. They only had to make it through the rocky terrain and grab the token.

Adrien and Etienne rushed toward the salamander, their swords drawn and coated with a layer of enchanted frost. Cody and Daniel circled from the other side and fired a few quick blasts of ice to distract the huge beast.

The salamander stormed forward and hissed. It coughed out another firebolt, this time at Cody. The wizard’s shield absorbed the impact without failing.

With the monster’s back completely exposed, the elves took their chance. They attacked with no yells or shouts and nothing to make the enemy aware they were coming. They both thrust their blades into the salamander’s body at the same time.

The creature reared up and thrashed furiously. The brothers released their swords and rolled out of the way. Cody and Daniel threw their ice blasts, but it wasn’t necessary. The salamander collapsed and succumbed to its sword wounds.

Matt pointed toward a jagged field of rocks laced through with thin streams of lava. He had to keep reminding himself that they wouldn’t die if they fell in. The intense heat made it seem otherwise.

“We’re almost there!” he shouted. “Keep in mind what they said before the match. There is still some sort of special surprise coming up, but we can win this match. We can show the Fireflies what the Cardinals are made of and go to the semi-finals. Then we’re all but at the championship.”

Cody summoned a new tracking orb. The team raced over the rough terrain toward their target and dodged spouts of steam, ash, and rock.

Four of the Fireflies appeared behind a nearby hill.

“Go for the token, Cody,” Matt ordered. “We’ll hold them here. It looks like they already lost a player.”

The wizard rushed forward while the rest of the team broke into two groups composed of Adrien and Etienne and Matt and Daniel.

The four Fireflies, two witches and two wizards, raised their wands. Rocks ripped from the ground and swirled in front of them and denied the Cardinals a clear view of the opposing team.

Matt growled and hurtled through the pebble and rock tornadoes, his eyes yellow. Daniel strengthened his shield and followed his team captain.

More debris swept into the area, which made it completely impossible to see the Fireflies now.
