Lightning Strikes

Leo watched as the sun set in the distance. The cool night air was perfect for the upcoming fights. Though everyone could have put up a shield with their aura to keep the hot sun at bay, it just wasted energy that could be used for fighting instead. In the distance, he could see the crimson auras many wielders as they made their way to the arena. He had ensured that all who wished to witness and participate received a flame affinity crystal to allow flight. He didn't know just how serious these fights would be, and didn't know how close the spectators should be.

"I thought you said that only friends would see this fight." Roy complained behind Leo as he touched down on the arena.

"Aren't we all friends in the end?" Leo raised an eyebrow and almost laughed at the general's expression.
