Game of Destiny – A Thrilling Tale of Power, Love & Fate

I yanked my wrist out of the warrior’s grip and moved away from him. He circled around me in a way which had me in the

middle of the fighting area. As soon as I tried to move closer to the edge, he attacked me. I managed to dodge most of

his attacks, but even the ones that barely skimmed me had a real kick to them. This was becoming a real issue.

“He is intentionally keeping her in the middle,” I heard Matilda telling the official watching over the match.

“There is nothing in the rules saying he needs to let her step out of the match,” he answered her. The match seemed to

go on forever. I had managed to get a hit or two on him. I took some pride from the fact he was limping slightly from me

getting a good hit on his left knee. At the same time I had to be honest with myself, I was losing and it would only get worse. My energy was still high enough for me to block or avoid most of his attacks, but I was starting to fade. As I moved around in the ring, I saw Finlay had joined Matilda and he looked like he was going to kill my opponent. I needed

to end this before I got so tired I made an easy target. I knew he wouldn’t end the fight quickly. At some point Finlay would step in, I knew it in my soul, he wouldn’t be able to stand to the side and watch the warrior pummel me into pulp.

I had a plan, it was risky and I hated it, but it was the only one I had. I charged the giant warrior and as I leaped at him, I

shifted into my wolf. My wolf knew her assignment and bared her teeth. The warrior acted out of instinct to protect

himself from what he perceived to be a full out attack on his life. He aimed a skilful kick at me and I did nothing to avoid

or block it. I braced for the hit and felt his heel connect to my already bruised side. I could hear the ribs breaking and feel

the pain radiating through my body. The hit halted my forward motion and instead sent me flying backwards. My wolf

curled into a tight ball for the impact and when I hit the mat, I continued rolling. With a last thump, I rolled off the mat

and down on the ground. I heard the warrior cry out in frustration at letting me escape and Finlay and Matilda were

calling my name. Finlay was kneeling beside me.

‘I’m okay,’ I mindlinked both of them. I remained on the ground, needing a moment for the pain to ease back and for me

to catch my breath.

‘I’m going to kill him,’ Finley told me. His hands were hovering over my side and head, barely skimming my fur, as if he

was afraid to touch me.

‘Do it and I will kill you. I just took a hit to avoid that scenario. Don’t let it be for nothing,’ I said.
