I watch, my heart in my throat, as the two prepare to clash. It’s a moment of truth, a battle that will decide our fate. I brace myself for what’s to come, my eyes locked on M’ijel, my protector, my…

And then it hits me.My everything.

The evil male raises his sword as it crackles with pent up energy. M’ijel is upon the beast… but can he reach him before the bolt isfired?

My heart is in my throat as the nanoseconds stretch into infinity.

This is the moment that will decide everything. The fate of the Game, our fate, hangs in the balance.

M’ijel’s focus never leaves the sword, his intent clear.

This is it. The showdown. The decisive moment.

And my heart aches with a mixture of fear and admiration for the beast who has become my world.

M’ijel

My grasp tightens on the alien’s arm, wrenching it in a swift, calculated move. His grip on the sword falters, releasing a volatile burst of molten magma that scorches the air.

Zoey, caught in the struggle, is thrust aside. She hits the ground with a thud and scrambles away, keen to avoid the crossfire of our violent dance.

The male, his face twisted in rage, recovers quickly from my maneuver. He’s powerful, a formidable foe, clearly adept at combat.

The gemstones embedded in his weapon have granted him abilities that make him unpredictable and dangerous. But I’ve faced peril before; I’m no stranger to the art of war.

Our fight is intense, a whirlwind of fury and brute force. We exchange blows, each one laden with the weight of our respective struggles.

I feel the impact of his fists against my body, his strength evident in every strike. Pain shoots through my ribs and back, but I push through it, relying on my rapid healing to keep me in thefight.

I’m relentless, driven by a single goal — to disarm him, to end this threat. With a swift, forceful move, I manage to knock the sword from his grip. It clatters to the ground, the gems within it dimming slightly, their power momentarily inert.

But the victory is costly. His counterattack leaves me reeling, his strikes landing with punishing accuracy on my still-injured shoulder. I let out a roar of terrible pain.

Yet, I don’t falter. I can’t afford to. Zoey’s safety, our chance at escape, it all hinges on this moment.

The male, now weaponless, is visibly surprised by my resilience. He hadn’t expected me to recover so swiftly from his blows.

It’s an advantage I intend to exploit fully. I press on, my attacks becoming more focused, more precise.

He’s a seasoned fighter, but so am I. My training, my experiences, they’ve honed me into a weapon just as lethal as any sword. And as the male falters, his energy waning, I seize my opportunity.

With a final, powerful strike, I channel all my strength, all my determination into one decisive blow. It lands with a resounding thud, sending the male sprawling to the ground.

He lies there, dazed and defeated, his chest heaving in ragged breaths.

I stand over him, my own breath heavy, my body aching from the battle. But there’s a sense of triumph too, a feeling of accomplishment. I’ve bested him, protected Zoey, preserved our chance at freedom.

I turn to look for Zoey, needing to see that she’s safe, that she’s unharmed.

Our eyes meet, and in that moment, there’s an unspoken understanding between us. We’ve overcome yet another obstacle, another challenge in this twisted game.

But there’s no time to linger, no time to celebrate. We still have a mission to complete, aquest to fulfill.

I help Zoey to her feet and she embraces me, her warmth never so inviting before.

She pulls back. “I knew you would come.”

I stroke her cheek, the fur already beginning to peel back from my scales. “How could I not? You belong tome.”
