Chapter 7

Ace P.O.V.:

"I'm surprised that you can still continue with all those wounds, if I were you, I wouldn't have extended this match this much." I say, in a way wanting to distract her. That seems to work as she looks over me for a second, that was enough, my Queen takes advantage of it and rushes towards Dawn with a fast pace, with her weapon ready.

She stabs her, blood laces her red ruby colored blade, sliding down, staining her hands with it. In panic, I immediately deactivate my ability. No this went a little too far.

Dawn falls down on her knees, looking around, her eyes finally lands on me. Guilt wields up inside me. I took it too far. I can see her trying hard to keep her eyes open, but at the end her body denies her command and slumps down. Try to say something, she opens her mouth, but nothing comes out except blood mixed with her saliva. Reading her lips I could tell what she wanted to tell ' I don't want to lose, I can't lose ' something along these lines. Finally she closes her eyes, her body rests in a kneeling.

I rush towards her, pulling her in my lap, I inspect her wound. Why aren't they calling off the match after all this! I glare at the referee, he seems to have got the message as he starts counting. It's ok though, nothing will happen to her, several have got worse injuries that this, nope the parademics will heal her in no time.

It'll be ok, I reassure myself.

"Three, two, on-"

"No !"

Huh? What? She stirs a little, her eyes opens, a vibrant blue with a hint of gold. A wave of power rolls over the whole arena. I take a step back trying to stand up, a dominant aura suppressing me, I fall down. It seems to have affected everyone, as they were all down on the ground. Not just that, but an imperial crown rests upon her head making her seem like a royalty.

The crown itself is mesmerizing, golden, decorated with a black gemstone, and several other small purple colored ones. Small black lining, forms a design or a symbol of sort on her wrist.

Her wound which was bleeding before now healing. Small cuts and scratches heals and soon the major wounds also heals themselves up, so flawlessly that only the tear and blood on her clothes could tell the she was once injured. Never in my whole life I've ever seen someone recover themselves like this, that type of wound always leaves atleast a scar, but there she is, no scar or any trace of her previous injury.

A slight golden-blackish glow radiates of her, the tip of her feathers turn a deep gold. Her wound starts health and there she stands in all her glory, eyes still blue, suddenly her feathers disappear, more like turning into dust than her deactivating her ability.

"Hello Ace", she grins, her voice, softer than before.

"What do you means by hello !", I scream at her. Anger boil in me. Why the hell would she pull a stunt like that !

"Woah! Clam down a little let me explain!" Calm down ? After that ?

"Clam dow-" I suddenly can't speak anything, my mouth no fact my whole body is unable to move. I can feel it but can't move it at all.

"Call off the match ref it's a tie." she commands the referee. He immediately ends the match and call it a tie.

"Sorry I didn't want to use force but you made me. Honestly I too don't know what exactly happened."

Well first head to the hall first. I know you all have questions so we'll talk there. Got to take a bath first since I'm all bloody and gross.

Eos P.O.V.:

~right after she faints~

"Hey there dear Eos, how are you feeling ?",a sweet unknown voice whispers.

"Head hurts a little, feeling dizzy, and this bleeding wound I've go-"

Huh? Why an I not feeling any pain? I look at my abdomen only to find out that it's completely healed. So...am I dead ?

"No you aren't dawn" she reassures me. Sighing, I stand up, now at eye to eye level with her. Wait-

"You can read my mind !"

"Haha yes I can, and who I am is not important right now. To make it easier you can say that I am you but from a different timeline."

"So you are from a different dimension too ?"

"No. Anyways like I said before that is not important. I'm pretty sure you remember your fight with Ace just a few minutes ago. Because of that something happened and now you basically unlocked a new ability."

Why do I feel like she is talking to me as if I'm a child...

"You're forgetting that I can read your mind. And yes, for me, you are a child and this all is too complicated for you to understand." She says emphasizing on 'are'.

"Oh! I've got only two minutes left! So continuing what I was saying you now have a new ability alongside your weapon. But this ability comes at the cost of losing your wings, because your body is too weak to handle three abilities at once. Don't worry though, the new power is a really cool one 'Blood Manipulation' to be exact. Use it wisely it's not for blood only but it can also be used on liquids, but you'll be best at manipulating blood in the future. Oops! Spoiler. Anyways got to go. See you later!"

Heh? What did she meant by spoiler n Is my life a movie or a book of sort ! And why the 'see you again' like hell if I want to do that. Why did she just disappeared like that? What about my questi-

I suddenly feel like I'm falling. My consciousness fading away.... again.

~back at the present~

"So you're tell me that a random lady, saying she was you, said that you now have a new ability?" Ray questions.

"Yeah basically" I reply.

"And because of that, your wings are gone." Colt says, slightly confused.

"Hmm also yes."

They all just stare at me like I'm some alien of sort. Breaking the silence Kyle suggests that I should try out my new ability, also to make sure that it was all real and not just a wierd dream I had.
