There is no other choice

Sara's POV

I was getting up difficulty, I saw Hordward jump over the barrier of the battlefield and run towards me with tears in his eyes.

Hordward: " SARAAAAAA...(*sobs*)" (*while jumping on Sara*)

Sara: "hey, there there, it's okay" (*trying to comfort the crying Hordward*)

Hordward: " Sara, you are really...amazing. I was scared"

Sara: " it takes way more to take me down(*chuckling*)"

As I was hugging Hordward, I couldn't help but think about something odd. ("Yes I won but I was losing, I was gonna die but something gave me energy and (*looking at her arms*) healed me"). I was feeling greater than ever, I was just tired of using so much magic at once.

King's POV

I was getting up to go see my little warrior who just won over the Volkarmor, when suddenly, someone grabbed my arm. I turned to see Aldea with a worry expression.

King: " what is it that worries you?"(*as he sat back*)

Aldea: " there is definitely something in the town that is going on...my bees detected more than a hundred movements but..."(*her eyes widened*)

King: " but what Aldea?" (*getting anxious*)

Aldea: " I tried to neutralize their actions but once my bees tried to touch them, those guys just disappeared and I saw a face when the bees disappeared...but it's troubling"

King: " Do you know that person?"

Aldea: " yes...it was Irka'an "

As Aldea said that, the king shivered a bit as he hurriedly tried to look for master Irka'an.

King's POV

I was sure something was wrong with Master but I didn't know what exactly. He was no different in actions but his aura was really disturbing like there was someone else than in his soul.

As I was looking at his sitted place, he wasn't there, my eyes trying to look for him in the crowd caught him. I jumped over the barrier and ran full speed. He was just behind my sons table's.

He was...holding a...dagger?!

King: " Don't you dare!"

As I shout everyone turned to look at me, Irka'an looked at me with a sorry expression as he caught Ingus by the arm.

He was pointing it on his throat while saying " I am so sorry Ardy...I don't have the choice"

I stopped as I was worried he could kill Ingus.

King: " why are you doing this? Let him go "

I saw Ingus wasn't even horrified, he was rather calm. I was too worried to pay it a mind now. I saw Vardus trying to approach Irka'an.

Vardus's POV

We were really enjoying Sara's win when I saw Father running towards us then he growled something I didn't really heard then I heard someone behind, I turned back to see Master Irka'an holding Ingus and pointing a dagger at his throat.

Vardus: " M-Master, what are you doing?"

Master: " don't move! "

I saw Ingus looking at me with a calm expression.

Vardus: " Master, let him go!"

I took a dagger I usually hide under my sleeve, I used my techno magic to add a Plasma edge to perfect the choppiness.

I pointed it at Master in a fighting style.

Master: (*Shouting*) " YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND, I HAVE TO DO IT"

He was lifting his dagger high up then I heard a familiar voice.

Uriel: " Dad?! What the hell are you..."(*interrupted by something invisible grabbing her throat and lifting her then slowly appearing to reveal...*)

King's POV

I was there looking at Irka'an then his daughter shout but stopped to start floating in midair before a ...Dark sentinel appeared to be holding her.

Everyone started to scream and run in panic.

In a matter of seconds, there were 10 people left, us and the elders who all took their weapons out.

The Dark sentinel began to laugh then said in an echoing voice

" do...it...kill...that...child...or...I...will...end... your...daughter's life..." (*laughing*)

Master: " Uriel?! ... I am so sorry Ardy..."

Master Irka'an was going to slay Ingus, I tried running towards him as fast as I could but then a bright orange light enveloped the entire place. I got blind for several seconds, before...
