Chapter 21:
The broken bond
Rehan was taken aback but looking Arna who looked excited he reluctantly nodded. The group from afar looked suspicious as they wore hooded cloak. The group saw people gathered at a corner.
Middle of the crowd they heard a man shouting loudly " Step right up lad and laddies. Gentle folk and all. Bet on the fight! Who will take down the reigning champion? Anyone got the guts to step into the ring? Bets are open!"
Diane nugged Arna and she rolled her eyes. She quickly took off her cloak and handed it to Diane. She noticed that her cloak was heavy and widen that there were blue luminiscent apples. Diane quickly hide it to avoid drawing any attention.
Rehan's caught his breath when Arna fearlessly entered the fighting ring. She looked astonishing and beautiful. Rehan was concern for her safety but he relaxed when her overprotective sister placed a bet on her winning. He was worried whether Arna and her spirit posses the necessary fighting skills to take down a man who looked as an experienced fighter
His worried vanished seeing on how Arna was quick on her feet and dodged all of the attack from the opponent.The opponent who was a seven feet tall muscular man had a hard time to lend a punch on Arna. Arna landed a kick twice in his stomach. Punched thrice on his face. She moved and jump as if she weighted light as a feather.
The opponent summoned his spirit which transform into a sword. He swing the sword towards Arna. Arna quickly jumped over him to avoid the attack. In midair air Arna summoned Luciana. With Luciana help, Arna froze the opponent feet to restrict his movement. The crowd when silent. Her opponent began to swing his swords recklessly hoping it would hit Arna.
Arna froze his body and knocked him out cold. Arna won the fight but the crowd didn't cheer for her victory. "She cheated," one pf them from the crowd shouted with menance as if Arna bullied the opponent into failure. The crowd started to boo and began to throw stuff towards the fighting ring. Before the crowd began to get wild, Arna, Diane,Rehan and Arnold slip through the crowd.
The day started perfectly for Arna but it was ruin just because fear and fright. When they were moving through the crowd, Rehan protectively put his hand around her. He didn't want her to get hurt. Many things were running through his mind but right now Arna is alright. He held her tight even when they are out of the crowd.
Arna looked up to Rehan, didn't wanna see hate in his eyes. But to her surprise, she only saw concern and worried in his eyes. They finally stopped at a place where there were no people. Diane workplace was right around the corner.
He turned her to face him. " Are you okay," he asked in agitating tone not bothering that they have audience with them. Arna shyly nodded yes.
"Good,"
Diane stepped in and said " Rehan it's getting late we should head back,". Rehan unwillingly let go of her. "Well then Good night Rehan, " Arna bidded her goodbye",
Before she could go on her way, Rehan pulled her closer. Rehan looked at her captivating eyes and didn't wanna look away. He moved her hair away from her face and placed a kiss on her forehead.
Arna crimsoned as soon as Rehan lips was on her forehead. Rehan moved away and bow elegantly. " Well ladies, we would take our leave. Thank you for a wonderful day Arna," he turned his back and dragged Arnold away who stood there flabbergasted.
Arna stayed still until Diane had to physically move her back home.
