Chapter 31: Aftereffects - John
I picked Katie up from the medical tent and returned to sit by Lang, Lina and my kids. Lina was still sulking about not being allowed to fight, so I sat Katie in an empty chair and put Lina in my lap as Blair took a seat behind me, by Lang.
Leera and Threscia were both breathing heavily as theyâd fought to a standstill. It was clear that the Pitâs rules had worked in Leeraâs favor as I could see several places where Threscia had nicked her.
Normally, even a scratch wouldâve been enough for Threscia to win but because sheâd had to fight without her venom, she was in bad shape. She was missing two of her insectoid arms and Leera was using her own tricks against her.
Thinking back to that one confusing battle in the forest, Leera had survived through that battlefield and even saved me. I guess this was what she was trying to show me.
She was saying âeven though I donât like to fight, I can surviveâ.
I knew her character, and I still neglected her. She was my therapist, my friend and my wife but she was also a warrior in her own right.
Leera glowed for a second and all her wounds evaporated, causing Threscia and the audience to groan.
But Thresciaâs dismay only lasted a second as her gaze caught something behind her.
âYou should give up, Leer.â Threscia said, menacingly. âItâll get ugly soon if you donât.â
Leera took a few steps and steadied her breathing. âIs that a threat?â
âI warned you.â Threscia said, darting off to an object that Leera hadnât noticed.
Leera followed behind her, her bone-spikes ready as she carefully weaved her way through Thresciaâs webbing.
Then Leera and the audience gasped as the discarded macuahuitl from the trollâs fight made its sudden return. It was a weapon that Threscia knew well, and with its extra reach, Leera couldnât dodge in time.
Leera screamed as its cruel teeth bit into her leg. Then as Threscia stood over her, the match was done.
âItâs my win, Leer. Good game.â
âAnd, we finally have a winner!!â Ralphus announced to the applause of the audience.
âThat was a rough one,â Ralphus said to me. âLeera can heal and Threscia can mend herself. Can we keep those mac, mcsweetel...weapons?â
âSure,â I said, looking down as Threscia helped Leera up and dissolved her webbing.
Leera healed herself, and Threscia reattached her extra limbs as the two of them made their way back towards me.
âIt was a good fight, my love.â Nex said, scaring the hell out of me. âI could have fought, but then it wouldâve been over too quickly.â
âOh?â I picked her up and sat her in my lap by Lina as she leaned up and kissed me. âWhat makes you say that?â
I know Nex has always been confident, and her kill count was the second highest but after what I just saw, I donât see how she could win.
Nex hopped off my knee, then pointed to the center of the ring.
âWhen did you!?â There, buried in the ground was a perfect circle of black daggers.
