quaila

Barf!

A puddle of blood was spilled on the floor, both from the mouth and stabbed points.

No one expected this.

Who would have thought that the old Eliz had such a devil in him; to take a life.

Boom!

The lifeless body fell on the floor.

"With all the promise, expectations, he died just like that"

The crowd spoke as the looked at Eliz in his own pool of blood.

Once again, Julian spat on him.

"I let my anger get the best of me. What a fortunate old man, you would have tasted the four walls of hell here in Quaila; death's too easy.", He added with his eyes closed and his left hand on his face as he felt the roughness.

The crowd began to cheer.

The crowd seemed to love a violent and action full ruler.

Most of them saw Eliz bringing out the sharp weapon, they all saw him stretch the knife like object towards Julian.

But Julian acted really fast and was able to counter the attack.

He subdued the old man and pushed the knife like object through his tummy a couple of times aggressively.

It was obvious the old man couldn't take such an attack and live.

Misha at this point was speechless.

First of, the healers were not to fight, secondly, taking a life in the ring was wrong; but the manner at which it was done, made him unable to say a word for a few seconds.

"It was an act of self defense!", Gandolf added.

"Yes!", The old woman supported.

Just then, some of the Quailian guards stepped forward and pulled Eliz's dead body away.

When Misha saw this, he understood that Palmer and the rule committee had no problem with the happening, so he went on: "who's going next?"

"Julian!"

"Julian!!"

"Julian!!!"

The crowd began to cheer.

On hearing his name repeatedly, Julian dropped his hand from his face and stepped forward.

He had always been overly serious and direct, so the crowd's cheers, meant almost nothing to him.

With a quick stretch, he healed the last 2 sick persons at once.

Gandolf's expression twiched a little.

The old woman by the side was astonished at his healing ability.

When the crowd saw this, they went wild.

The cheers went higher.

Julian stretched his hand at Misha as spoke: "amplifier!"

He was given the amplifier immediately.

"Please guide her in!", he said looking at one of the ring doors.

Shortly after it was opened and a beautiful girl with long hair was brought in by two women.

The girl's hands were held on both sides by these women as they moved towards Julian but no one knew why this was.

"My Queen, sorry for the delay....", Julian said as he reached out to her.

"Why is it so noisy?!", The girl asked as she touched her ears.

The crowd at this time could hear some of the things she was saying and so was surprised at the question she asked.

"You are in Quaila's Apical ring my love...", Julian added.

Suddenly her expression changed.

"Is that blood I smell?!", She said and stepped back but was grabbed quickly by Julian.

"Yes my love, but it's fine!", Julian added holding her by her hand.

The crowd watched the drama in shock.

Who would have thought that the harsh and rude looking burnt fellow could be this romantic.

"I thought we agreed on this!", She said with a frown facing him. At this point some persons in the crowd could tell that she was blind.

"I know Sarah, but he tried to kill me, I had no choice; I am sorry!", Julian added as he pulled her closer to himself.

"Why are we out here?", She asked still wearing the frown on her face.

"But I brought you out for a reason, first of, I want to sing a birthday song to you..", he added.

The crowd began to root and as he began to sing and those who knew the song soon joined him.

As Sarah listened, she began to smile as tears came down her cheeks.

After he was done he raised his hand so the crowd would become silent and then said: "Happy birthday to you my love, it's time to see your king..."

He then placed his hand on his face and in an instant but gradually, he skin began to stretch.

The crowd watched and were going mad, some fainted even.

When he was done, the crowd could not recognize him.

He was smooth face, chiseled chin, piercy looking, handsome.

The Quailian women were in awe, he was like a newborn baby. Also like the burns were a shell of his true face.

Their cheers and chants meant nothing to him, the one he wanted to see him had not.

He stretched forth his hands towards her closed his eyes.

This time with deep concentration.

The crowd became silent as they watched in anticipation.

Sarah was the object of everyone's attention.

After a few seconds, Julian dropped on his knees and began to cry before Sarah.

"I am sorry!", He wept.
