Two massive figures burst forth, their menacing forms becoming clear under the dim glow of the twin moons.
The Klarik and the Thraze, two of the most formidable males in the competition and both fiercely competitive.
They stared me down, their eyes filled with a combination of envy and malice.
I could feel Aurora tremble beside me.
Klarik snarled, his voice dripping with disdain. “Looks like we’ve cornered the leader.”
“And his little pet,” the Thraze sneered, his gaze fixed hungrily on Aurora.
Aurora tightened her grip on my arm. “Jayas…”
I held her close, whispering, “Stay behind me.”
With a roar, both the Klarik and the Thraze charged.
I met them head-on, knowing I had to be faster, smarter, and more determined than they themselves.
The dance of combat became a flurry of strikes, parries, and dodges.
Every punch I threw was calculated, every movement precise.
But fighting two adversaries, especially ones as powerful as the Klarik and the Thraze, was a colossal challenge.
They tried to flank me, coming at me from both sides.
Their coordination was impeccable.
For every strike I landed on one, the other would retaliate.
Suddenly, a blow to my side made me stumble, and before I could recover, the Klarik landed a punch that sent me sprawling to the ground.
Aurora’s scream pierced the night as the Thraze lunged at her.
Using every ounce of strength, I pushed myself up, charging at the Thraze.
A well-placed kick sent him flying, freeing Aurora from his clutches.
The Klarik, seeing an opening, charged at me with all his might.
But with a sudden surge of adrenaline, I dodged and sent him crashing into a razor-thorn bush.
Both disoriented, I took the chance to incapacitate them.
A series of rapid blows left the Klarik unconscious, and a fierce tackle sent the Thraze sprawling, out of the fight.
Panting heavily, I reached out to Aurora, ready to pull her to safety, but a sudden, searing pain in my back made me cry out.
A third competitor, one I hadn’t seen or sensed, had taken advantage of my focus on the other two.
I lashed out, dealing him a vicious blow, sending him sprawling back into the foliage.
I fell to my knees, blood gushing from the wound.
I tried to get up, but my strength was waning rapidly.
Aurora rushed to my side, her eyes wide with fear. “Jayas!”
