The Day of the Duel

Redfist's men had come and given them a location and a time for the battle around evening. The battle was going to take place in Redfist's dueling grounds in the west, at noon exactly.

"I'm sure you can save a bit throughout the night," Jasmine said. "Who else would fight Tiffany then?"

"I don't know," Tim said. "But if I fight Tiffany, I don't know if I will be able to fight Redfist."

"Grrr!" Jasmine gritted her teeth in annoyance. "I hate you, you know. We could've just gone and gathered some treasures, and instead, we are here playing games with murderous pirates."

Ning grinned. "Aren't you glad I brought you here though? Would you have ever seen this side of humans had I not brought you?" he asked.

Jasmine had no retort for that. She simply threw her hands as she gave in.

"Fine," she said. "Fine! I will fight Tiffany."

Ning raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure?" he asked.
