The cave walls dripped, echoing each drop of water as Forseti and Aksel stood there, ready to do the third strike.
The winning point.
It hung between them like a blade.
Aksel's clawed hands were crackling, the cave formations dancing with their shadows as Aksel showcased his electric powers. This damp space had become a stage. With Sirius and Saoirse the only observers, the stakes were as high as the cathedral-like ceiling. His testosterone levels were too high for him to lose this time.
He was going to prove he was a worthy beta.
He closed his eyes and took a breath. He could smell his electricity pulsing through his veins.
Drip. Drip. Drip. Droplets echoing like a ticking clock.
He opened his eyes, their golden color like flames igniting. He was going to win.
