Sparring Spirits

Yumiko interrupted in between Seri and Kairos." If you young people decide on your own, then we should do things properly, don't you think so Rudra?" Why are you asking me that? Kairos decided the match and Caelum and I just got involved in it.

I told you didn't I, she is sharp. She somehow felt the sudden increase in your power level. She is sly like a cunning fox.

It is rare for you to be wary of others, especially humans. I thought you would be more wary of wraiths than other guardians but Yumiko made you wary of her, she must be something.

I am not wary of her, just being cautious of her, we are hiding the fact that I am inside of you. It's just a matter of time before this truth is exposed and we have to fight the other guardians as well.

I wanted to ask you this but didn't get time to ask it but how were you able to fool the BTF and make them think you are Thalassa?

Like I said before, they were like my brothers and sisters. But due to a misunderstanding, now they think I betrayed them and am working with the Abyssal Wraiths. At that time the only one who believed me was Thalassa. She tried to persuade others but couldn't. We fought many wars together but due to some unknown matter, they didn't believe me and tried to seal me. When they were sealing me, Thalassa tried to stop them, and somehow she was sealed with me.

Sealed with you? Do you mean Thalassa is still sealed somewhere?

Yes, but I don't know where. Due to being sealed together, some fragments of her powers rubbed off on me.

That's why my power level is low because it was Thalassa's power and not yours.

Correct, young one. That is why it is low and also because you can't handle my full power for now. Other guardians also didn't get suspicious because they didn't know Thalassa and believed that she hid herself waiting for the right one to give her powers.

'' Getting nervous. Huh". Caelum said to me as I was talking to Fulminor. " I bet you didn't hear a single thing they said, did you?". Sorry, I was thinking something else. " Just don't give up, ok. You have been training non-stop since you arrived, It's given that you can't make improvements overnight and others have more experience and training compared to you but still give your best, ok". His words were like how a leader speaks when he knows his teammate's morale is down. I will do my best. " So this is what Yumiko said, we will be having a one-on-one match. One from our side and one from their side. There will be 3 matches, one for each of us. The match will end when the other one can't fight or surrenders. Since there are 3 matches, those who will win the number of matches then that team wins. It's simple, isn't it? And there is one more thing, our opponents have been decided". How much have I missed to think I didn't even see the draw? So who are we facing? " The first match is between the siblings, yes. It's between Kairos and Lisa. The second match is between me and Seri. And the last match is between you and Lysandra." So I escaped Lisa, that is good to know. So what is there to know about my opponent? " As you senior here I should tell you about her but I would like you to see it yourself. In our upcoming battles with the wraith, we may or may not know about their abilities, that's why it would be good for you to see this as an opportunity to analyze and try to find out their weakness". He is right, if I am going to do this, I have to do this right.

Don't worry too much kid, You have me remember? Just try to hang in there and get used to your new powers. It's a great opportunity to test it as well.

And so our first match was going to begin...
