" But I don't have any powers Daivik. I'm not martially trained either". She sounded hurt but it was the truth. She had nothing to offer in Elysian besides bringing back the soul of celestial.
" Deep down what do you truly want Zillah, to be skillfully trained martially and in swordfighting or you want to bear power?"
Did he see right through her, exposing her thoughts.
Owning a power was more beneficial to her and Alvah could vouch she was pretty good at controlling it for her first time.
She took in a deep sigh " I want both. I could perfect both can't I?" She asked with a slight grin.
" Then go ahead. No one's in the way" he grinned back at her. " Everyone in Elysian is so good at advising, do you take lessons or ethics for this?". She said and they both laughed.
" I'll be off. Everyone is set and by noon we should be together on the field". She smirked getting up. " May the best team win". Daivik toasted. And they both pretended like they had a glass of wine in their hands.
She teleported back to the room and Alvah was asleep with his face buried in his pillow.
" Alvah!. Stop sulking and get up". She moved to the bed to hit him to wake up but she stopped. " Are you genuinely okay?" Her voice was humble with him and he nodded negatively as a response.
She got on the bed placing her head slowly on his back. " You'll be fine". She patted him softly. He moved up and she lifted her face from his back. Switching his position to rest on her thighs and she smiled sitting up while he laid on her.
She stroked his hair gently like a caring mother and he soon fell asleep once again. She couldn't understand what was wrong with Alvah if he needed food or anything beyond help.
" Would you be able to attend the game?" She asked hoping for an answer but he didn't reply. ' he's fast asleep ' she said to herself.
It was around ten in the morning when she left him for breakfast with the others who looked like they were preparing. She pondered for a while if she should cancel out herself and Alvah but where was the fun in it.
Besides she was the one who organized the game. One last time, she left to their room to check on Alvah and he wasn't on the bed. She grinned widely knowing he was preparing.
When he got out it was already Eleven. They all got prepared and by 12 they were out on the field.
With the windy weather with suited perfectly for the game.
" What are the rules of the game?" Aeron asked with Cristal wrapped in his arms and she looked excited.
Zillah replied to him " some games you are permitted to use your Powers and some you are not". They all knew she was referring to Alvah. Everyone looked at him and he looked not interested in what was going on but he gave a listening ear.
She continued "There are different rounds, building up points and in a few round its the boys against the girls "
" And what does the winner get?" Keva asked her eyes filled with curiosity.
Alvah responded " 48 hours with zillah, no interference".
Aeron and Daivik laughed at Alvah's words.
" And why is that?" Zillah asked him confused. He walked closer to her and whispered in her ears " because you are the prize". He looked down at her to see her reaction and he got what he wanted. Her face reddened and she coughed lightly.
" That's not possible Alvah. I cannot be the prize". She felt annoyed for some reason, feeling less valuable of herself to him.
" Why? Zillah we are most definitely going to win this game, keep that in mind". He placed his finger on her temples.
" This is not supposed to be a competition Alvah. We are meant to have fun". She said dusting her palms
" Okay". He replied nonchalantly that made her worried. Why didn't he argue? She asked tilting her head.
" And besides, there is a big bad trophy". Someone came through the outdoor with it and handed in over to her.
"The winner takes him". She smiled with her fingers dancing. "Never thought I'd need a trophy shelf" Aeron stretched a bit. Cristal grinned knowing well this was going to be a competition.
She yelled " We Begin in 3, 2, 1!"
"Round 1 ". Zillah got a mid size disk on her hands. " Get the disk to the finish line. Boys this direction, girls this direction". She clearly identified the finish line for each team. With a line in the middle.
" Wait if it's boys vs girls, how do we calculate the points?". Keva asked her confused.
"It just means your partner owes you one" she smirked and keva immediately understood. Cristal wasn't relating to any of this so she coughed awkwardly. " Shall we?".
Everyone nodded.
Zillah threw the disk in the air and before it could land, Alvah teleported with it straight to the finish line. " One down ?" He asked for confirmation with a grin " No" Zillah answered
" Wait, no powers includes teleportation?" Cristal asked and zillah nodded. " That's tough" she said walking a few distance away from the center line.
" We just have to think smart". Zillah said to her. She appeared in Alvah's front and took the disk from his hands.
" This game lasts 3 rounds" she announced teleporting back to the center line.
"Round one" She lifted her first finger and threw the disk in the air. Daivik ran towards the disk leaping into the air when Zillah pulled him down and Cristal ran from behind caught the disk and dashed it quickly to keva who started running.
Alvah and Aeron chased after keva. Cristal and Zillah were after them. Keva abruptly stopped knowing they would catch up with her.
She threw the disk back high in the air. Zillah stopped, looking intensely to where the disk was headed.
She jumped and caught it. Daivik, Alvah and Aeron looked at her. She panicked a bit thinking what to do next.
Daivik picked up the pace on her. She began running towards Daivik . Alvah and Aeron ran behind zillah, keva runs behind them both, slides between their feet, collected the disk from Zillah while Zillah swerved Daivik to the sides and continued to run ahead.
They stopped and chased after her thinking Zillah was with the disk till keva shouted " point " with a huge smile on her face.
" What!?" Daivik asked confused. " They switched it when they collided" Aeron said cracking his neck.
Alvah exchanged glances with Aeron and both their look changed. The girls could immediately tell the game had become serious.
