11 The Duel

We were startled out of our conversation.

" Did you hear Sir Apollo and Sir Sora are going to do a duel," someone said

" I heard it's about to start we need to get to training grounds now," Another one said and ran off

" We need to go too," I said and hastily got up

" Huh why it has nothing to do with us," said Riley

" Sir Sora is Sora Adams very skilled in swordsmanship his father Viscount Amams is the richest viscount in the North and my dumb brother Apollo Windsor is about to duel him!" I said hurriedly as I picked up Alastair who was too busy playing with his new friends to realize what was going on.

" Oh that sounds bad we should check it out," said Anahita

The others got up, grabbed their familiars and we rushed to the training ground. After a while of running, I realized I had no idea where the training grounds were.

" Uhm by the way does anyone know how to get to the training grounds?" I asked, still running.

" Follow me," said Miles as he leads the way

In no time we were at the training grounds. I looked around from the stadium and saw my stupid brother facing who I presume is Sora.

Elijah Apollo's best friend walked between them and started saying " Welcome Ladies and Gentleman to the battle between Sir Apollo the Magnificent and Sir Sora the Gallant Knight. Who will win place your bets at the tent," said Elijah " Now for the rules, DON'T KILL EACH OTHER," he said and the crowd cheered and laughed.

It was obvious that this was planned but what is my brother thinking he is the next head of the family he can't afford to make enemies at least not with the Adams. Either way, it is useless to stop him now because too many persons were watching he needed to win this duel.

" Draw your swords," Elijah said, stepping back when he was completely out of the Arena he shouted, " BEGIN!!"

Immediately swords started clashing; you could feel the pressure of their sword aura and magic. My brother had three elements: fire, lighting, and light and he had complete control over both fire and lightning so he could win with magic but with a sword, he was not even close to Sir Sora. So what were they planning?

A bolt of lightning flashed from the sky Sir Sora jumped out the way just in time and went for Apollo again he was really fast but before he could land a hit on Apollo a firewall appeared in front of Apollo this continued for about another fifteen minutes neither of them landing a hit and were both exhausted at this time. I looked at Apollo there was a look in his eyes then lightning sparked from his night blue eyes and I could tell the match was about to end within a second lightning came from the sky with a clap of thunder. Sir Sora tried to block it with his sword but Apollo's magic was too strong and in the end Sir. Sora fell to the ground bruised all over. Medical professionals rushed into the arena and took him out.

" And Sir. Apollo the Magnificent wins," shouted Elijah the crowd cheered as they began to disband

"Let's Go," I said as I rushed over to the tent where Apollo went after he was finished fighting.

" Dude that was awesome we made tons of money," shouted Elijah

" Yes and it was also stupid," I said stepping into the tent

" What do you want Reine," said Apollo with an annoyed tone

" I wanna know if you're not getting enough pocket money that you would risk the relationship between the Dukedom and Viscount Adam," I said my voice gradually raising

" What are you talking about dumb sister I'm pretty sure I didn't kill him," He said smirking

" Yeah well, he has badly hurt thanks to you the relationship between the Dukedom and Viscount Adam might be ruined explain why that is to dad because I know I am not going to be the one doing it!!" I shouted

This time he looked at me in shock; I don't think he knew that father depended on the relationship between Viscount Adams to sustain a stable economy for the dukedom and Apollo might have just ruined that.

" Uhm Reine," said Anahita

" Yes," I answered still a little agitated

" Our familiars they're gone,"
