Chapter 12

In Celadon City,

"Big brother went to fight with a level 3 person named Jack. Ahh... Why is he caring so much about me? Why does he want to risk his life just to triple the amount? For ME. "

Ajax's thinking was interrupted when he heard the loud cheer of people. He was watching the show that was going to start and Xander and Jack would be the first to battle.

"Welcome ladies and gentlemen here in Gaelic Palace we are again going to hold the championship for this year. It will start next year. So those who want to participate good luck from the Gaelic Palace. Now here we have a few battles just for entertainment. This is a betting game. Whoever wants to bet there is a vote button fixed on each of the chairs. Press A and B. Now in the A option, we have James who is a level three master. In option B we have Xander who is a level two master. First, the betting starts then the battle. Here in the display, you can see their partners and strengths.

"Wolf!! Xander has a spirit animal like a wolf. No wonder he used to look like a big, fluffy puppy to me. But he used to call me a kitten. Is it because of Zane....

" Let the battle begin"

Ajax's thoughts were interrupted and now he was keen on watching the battle.

"Eddie use " CRUNCH ATTACK," said Xander with a stoic and cold face like it is no big deal for him to fight with a higher-level person.

"Use HEAD-BUTT " Yelled James as he was a little intimated and his dignity challenged as a lower level person is thinking of him as inconsequent.

"Dodge it and use CRUNCH ATTACK on his neck," Said Xander calmly standing with hands in his pocket and giving James a smug smile.

"Try to shake that dog and use SPIKE ATTACK," Said James furring with anger.

"Move away Eddie and use CLAW ATTACK on his neck," Said Xander.

The wolf maintained a distance from the bull and again with his agility dodged his sword-like sharp horns and successfully pierced his dagger-like claws in the bull's neck.

"Good work Eddie," Said Xander provoking James more.

"Enough this is going to end you, little pesky little boy. Use FIRE-HORN ATTACK" said James smiling thinking that the victory is surely his.

"This attack is a very powerful one. It locks up the opponent's spirit partner for 8 seconds and then attacks with full force with its fiery horns. It does a lot of damage" Said a man sitting beside Ajax as an audience. Ajax got worried after hearing it. Because else came to know of the spirit animal loses and if the opponent is still willing to fight they can do a battle using weapons or techniques which Ajax did not want to take place. Because Xander's spiritual power is only at level four whereas James was at level seven. If a spiritual battle takes place Xander has no choice but to lose.

"What a nit-wit again a useless move," Said Xander still calm knowing that it is a higher-level move.

"What is that boy doing? He is not surrendering. His wolf will be hurt badly. Does he not care about him"

"Is he that confidence in himself that he is not showing even a hint of concern for his partner?"

"What a dunce. Where did he come from"

Rumors started to spread as Xander was not making a move and standing still. The attack was made by James and chains appeared from thin air and held the wolf-Eddie in one place and the bull was ready to make a fatal attack on the opponent.

"Eddie TELEPORT and use CRUNCH ATTACK on the exact place where you made the move before," said Xander while moving a strand of his hair back and sighing as he was bored by this battle.

Eddie swiftly used teleportation and was free from the clutches of chains with a quick pace attacked the neck region and gave a strong bite. The bull bellowed in pain and returned to the mind frame where all spirit animals go to recover or rest.

"How come a wolf uses TELEPORTATION? It is your spiritual power. How come he uses it? You are playing tricks. You cheated. This was supposed to be my fifth win. " Said James with anger evident on his face.

"Brother I think you have very less knowledge about spirit animals and their masters. If the bond between a spirit animal and its master is strong then they can use each other's attacks easily through mind links. Am. I right referee? Asked Xander while coldly looking at the referee.

"Yes, this can be attained but is very rare. Only a few were successful. So it is decided. The battle is won by Xander. Wanna take the battle to the next level? Asked the referee.

" No, I won't. You are powerful while being at level two", said James.

"You are being modest. If my Eddie did not have the teleportation powers, I would have lost" Said Xander politely.

Then both the boys got out of the arena. Ajax was beaming with happiness and his respect increased ten times for his brother. He met his brother at the counter where Xander was collecting his earned money.

"You are so cool, brother. The best " Said Ajax showing thumbs-up.

"Little kitten it was the first battle you saw. How can you say it is the best? Wait a minute.... Brother! You called me brother. " Asked Xander.

"Yep, you are taking risks for me and considering my feelings. You are very good from the heart. And how can I resist such a kind person not consider as a family? You are the best brother. I guarantee it" Said Ajax forming s big grin on his face.

Xander chuckled and ruffled Ajax's hair.

"Yeah, I am the best. Now let's go home. We can go shopping later" Said Xander becoming cute and bubbly like before. Both the boys happily went outside the building both feeling elated at finding a family.

One year later,

Amelia and Ember were practicing when someone came.

"Master Charles, what brings you here? " Asked Amelia.

"I have been assigned by the king to help and guide you for the competition taking place in Gaelic Palace. " Said, Charles.

"Thank you Master Charles" Both the girls said in unison while bowing a little.

"Now, every person on this continent has three abilities related to fighting skills. First- spirit animal. They are with them from the age of ten. You can increase their powers and your strength, agility, and mental power. There are six levels to it

The first level provides you with five moves to play.

The second level provides you with three moves.

The third level provides you with only two moves. But those two moves are much stronger and required the cooperation of both your spirit animal and your spiritual mind and its powers.

The fourth level provides you with a new element power of a new element depending upon your ability and your heart.

The fifth level provides you with two abilities of your birth element and two powerful moves of your new element.

Sixth level..... Don't know "

"What do you mean by you don't know master? Asked Amelia. Ember is also curious as to why no one knows how much power you gain at level six.

"No one reached that level so no one knows what power is gained ... Now leave it, Amelia you are at level one since you did not teach your lynx to fight. But you have mastered the technique of Tai chi. And for you Ember you are almost at the level of three. But you have not mastered any technique Or used any specific weapon of your choice. So now Amelia will fight against Ember with lynx alone and Ember after that practice with the help of Amelia decide which weapon you want.

"Yes master"

Amelia and Ember fought for two hours. Both enjoyed fighting along with appreciating each other. Now it was time for Ember to select herself a weapon. Amelia took Ember to a special dungeon where every weapon in the world was present.

Amelia had already chosen her weapon. She was great at controlling haladie a double-edged dagger with a perfect curve in between where a white flower was made of metal. The blades were white, sharp, and had curved edges. In all, she can use four blades at a time. They were tiny but when Amelia used them it was difficult to even for a level three person to defend. Amelia can be very stealthy in a battle. One time one can see a blade thrown and aimed at their chest meanwhile another blade goes and makes a cut at their hands and they don't even know when it came and went. She used blades like a boomerang if possible. She was a fast runner so throwing one blade while running behind the person's back to throw another blade and catch the previous one was easy for her. Few people also thought that she will have the power of speed. But no one knows.

As for Ember, she was confused as to what weapon to choose. Her eyes stuck to specific weapon. It was the battleaxe. It weighs seven to eight kilos and has sharp edges on two sides. With a dark black handle and silvery blade, it shined perfectly. Strong yet sharp, perfect for Ember.

"You have keen eyes Ember. A perfect weapon. Now let's see how you handle it. But be careful I won't be easy on you" Said Amelia sternly.

"You better not be, let's go" Said Ember excitedly while holding her axe on her shoulder ready for a friendly battle.
