Chapter 14
Special Tournament 2
In the mist of the void, a gentle girl stood, golden sparkly hair, powerful white eyes, floated.
A metal sphere spun around her, rays scanned her, "This again!" Aurelia shouted, "You failed the first time!" Aurelia tried grabbing the sphere, but the little metal sphere swiped past her. Stopping randomly, the sphere opened projecting a screen.
Aurelia's eyes darted toward the bold letters coming up.

Legacy: Solenne
Foreseeing past: accepted
Stage one: Speed

Aurelia's mouth dropped, she rushed to the screen to grab it, but her hands phased through the screen, a smirk grew on her face, "Interesting." The words on the screen continued.
"Welcome to the tournament! You'll be summoned to the battle shortly my queen!"
Aurelia opened her eyes once more, everyone was cheering her on, the sky was a light blue, the area around her changed colors from gold to gray. On the far left showed a screen with Aurelia in a stance, next to her was someone unfamiliar, he had long gray hair with slight signs of white, gray fierce eyes, he wore gray robes that flowed like water to his boots, white silky gloves that had a golden badge having an imprint of two hands giving a prayer, dark leather wrapped around his chest and waist, a small gray cape with white lining, a white blazer under. His outfit was battle-ready; under the screen it showed both of their names: Aurelia Solenne Versus Seth Damon.
Aurelia was jealous of his outfit; she wore a basic skirt, boots, and a gray blazer with the same golden badge. She looked at the area she was standing on; it was a gray platform, wow she thought to herself. Looking forward, she saw the man that was on the screen. Aurelia waved but Seth didn't wave back, Aurelia frowned, rude she thought.
The ground below them shook heavily; behind Aurelia, a pillar grew out of the ground, it had a door. With cracks all over it, Aurelia turned around, shocked. She walked toward the pillar, opening the door. Dust flew out, coughing, Aurelia looked at what was inside. A bright yellow glow filled the darkness inside the pillar.
Standing in the middle was a gold-handled rapier; the guard was in a spiral going toward the blade, it was long and slender, halfway up the blade faded to a bright white.
Aurelia couldn't help but smile, quickly grabbing the rapier she admired the blade; it shined with the sun.
After receiving the rapier, the pillar shot back into the ground. Aurelia looked back at Seth, she got into a fighting stance holding the rapier in her hand, Seth had a devilish smile. Aurelia's eyes widened, Seth lifted up his hands; he held no weapon.
The ground below them shot up two long chains that started to form upward, the chains moved like wild snakes; more chains came from his back moving wildly.
The crowd cheered louder, at the top of the area a bigger screen showed a person, it was Myrrh; he had a microphone, "Are you readdyyyy!?" The crowd yelled their ass off. Myrrh started to speak again, "Three, two, one!"
Seth quickly swiped his hand toward Aurelia, the chains from the ground shot toward her at alarming speeds. Aurelia opened her palm; her palm started to spark yellow lightning that danced like grass in the wind; she shot the lightning bolt to the first chain. The second chain came charging at her, right before it could touch her face Aurelia dodged the incoming blow; the chain that blew past her slammed down to the ground.
Running toward Seth, three more chains from his back charged at her. She parried the first blow, twisting her body to jump over the second one, and dashed to the right to dodge the third one. Reaching up to Seth, holding the hilt tighter she thrust the blade to his face, sparks shot out as Seth's chain blocked the thrust.
Aurelia quickly slashed at his arm, but before it could reach him, the chains from his back slithered down his arm, blocking the attack.
Aurelia stepped back, fearful of the chains, Seth charged toward her, Aurelia thrust her rapier to his metal-covered fist. Sparks moved across the arena, Seth threw a jab, the wind screeched, Aurelia ducked below his arm, the blade flying to his face.
The blade nicked his skin barely, dodging the strike, Aurelia was in a vulnerable position slamming his fist on her gentle face.
Aurelia was sent flying back, her nose bled, chuckling she looked at Seth, her face more serious, "You're so weak, you only focus on far range, but in close combat you're nothing."
Aurelia then grabbed the rapier blade, lightning shot from it, sparks danced on the blade.
Her rapier was shooting electricity, Seth's face was beating red from the insult. Aurelia looked toward Seth, she raised her blade, lightning danced along the edge of the blade, with a slash the air screamed a pure bolt of lightning flying toward Seth as it broke through the air.
As it rippled, Seth got in a defensive stance. The lightning slash made contact with Seth; it cut through his chains taking each layer away reaching his skin.
Seth's arms started to bleed; smoke filled the air, Seth, blinded, got back into a guard stance, while Seth was blinded, Aurelia at outstanding speed reached Seth's side.
Gripping the hilt of her blade she sent a thrust toward Seth once again, Seth felt the use of rage coming from his side, seeing the blade Seth couldn't react in time. The blade pierced his cheek ripping it off.
Yelling in pain he grabbed his cheek, Aurelia followed the thrust with a slash to his side, Seth smiling predicted the strike. Before the blade could make contact, the chains from his back grabbed her blade. Seth smiled, "You FOOL! I got you n-"
Before Seth could finish his sentence, Aurelia let go of her blade, jumping up she twisted her hips, her foot flying toward Seth. Being sent flying back the crowd screamed.
Grabbing her rapier Aurelia tried to move again, but her face paled, looking down the chains were attached to her foot, then more chains crawled up.
Aurelia was now trapped in Seth's chains.
