GAME OF GODS

4: fight

BOOM!

Brody crashed on the icing arena floor. Sandra descended to the floor and lifts her right hand into the air.

“Whoooooh” the female in the arena gallery proudly lifts their hand to the air hailing and praising her.

“She had help from a man that's why she won” a man shouted.

“Yes, she cheated” another man shouted.

“I agree, something is off! How can she be so strong? What are you? Hulk?”

“She fought fair and square” The men and women begin to quarrel again then Sandra shouted.

“Is there any man/ party who wants to fight me. Get your stupid ass down here and let's settle the skull.” Suddenly, the voices of the men reduces.

“I thought as much”. Sandra picks her sword and begins to Walk to Neo. Neo drops his hands, bending his upper body to his knees panting. He breathes in a sign of relief and fresh air. He lifts his head and Sandra stands before Neo closer to his face. She stares into his eyes, the duo staring at each other's eyeball intently for few minutes then burst into laughter.

“That's a good one babe” the duo swings their hands tapping their palm at each other above their head, below and then Neo lifts his a palm for a victory tap. Sandra taps his palm simultaneously as Neo does the same.

“Those two! Are you sure there is nothing going on between those two, Juliet? They are way too are fond of each other”

“Nothing concerns you if they have anything going on, Catherine. Why are you so bordered? Neo and Sandra have been best friend for all I can remember. Now that she has awakened her strength from the dungeons and her rank moved up from D to A rank. It's perfectly normal for them to stay close. As you saw from the match, though Neo can't use magic, but he has found away to support her Friend. How does the saying go, a sharp knife can't work without the handle and vice versa a handle can't work without the sharp blade of a knife”

“ I thought the word knife includes the sharp blade edges and the handle” Catherine cuts in

“ I won't start an argument with you if that's what you are looking for. The best key to true happiest is never to argue with stupid people”

“Huuuuh!” Catherine's eye narrow, looking at her.

“Ooooops,” Juliet covers her mouth with hands." I am so sorry, I never meant to say you are stupid. I mean implying that you are stupid”.

“Shut it. Zip. If I argue too much then you forget that you talk too much, Juliet talkative. Let's go check on prince charming, Brody tiny thing” the duo trawls down the stairs.

“So Catherine, why are you so curious about the duo dating?” Juliet's questions.

“You talk too much and best way to true happiest is not to talk much with talkative people”.

“ Common! I never meant it that way, Catherine. I am sorry” Juliet raised her hands.

“Apology accepted! It's just that I am curious and when I am curious, I do like to find out”

“ Hmm! Are you sure you don't like Neo, Eric in anyway? Though he might be a failed Knight, but he has a nice sexy build structure any female will die fall. I know I will fall for those muscles”.

“Aaah! Me, no is not! How can I! I don't think…!" Catherine covering her face while blushing.

“Why are you blushing and feeling flustered. You like him right. Talk true” Juliet bends her head smiling while looking at Catherine's face

“It's not like that!” Catherine turns her face, walking faster to Brody. Brody was knocked out cold with his face decorated with Sandra's fist. Catherine's bends her body looking at him

“Hey, ooohie, prince charming!, bed rocker!, tiny thing between your legs!, wake up. TSK!, It can't be help”. Catherine stretched forth right hand on Brody, and she begins to speak simultaneously green energy begins to swirl wrapping around her body.

“ I call on you the divine cleric, strength of the heavens, giving strength to the strong and nourishing the weak. Divine Healing” Brody's body was covered in green barrier magic and all the bruises on his face were healed.

“Oooohie, Bed rocker, prince charming bed rocker, tiny thing between your legs, Wake up you f*ucking i***t” Catherine slams a punch on Brody's head violently. Brody wakes up.

“What happened? Did I get her” he shouted?

“ Yes, you got her in your dreams. Now get up, we have a briefing at the director's office”.

“Huh, director!” Brody looks up, surprised. They help him up while Juliet heals the other party member. The trio walked out of the arena to the hallway. Catherine walking into the hallway into the adventurer hall sees Neo seated drinking. She clears her throat and waves her blonde hair shaven to the side. She walks to Neo and smiles at him.

“Hi, Neo Eric! A lovely, splendid fight that was. You were outstanding” she stretched her right palm for a handshake. Neo turns facing her while returning her handshake simultaneously smiling and tries to withdraw his right hand, but Catherine holds unto his hand.

“I believe if not for your strength. Sandra won't have won. So, if I may ask? May, hmmmmm, two of us may go ou…ou.....out. I just want to ask if.....we” Neo looking surprise faking a smile.

“Ask what hmm mp?” Sandra cuts in on them, standing behind Catherine. Catherine startled jumps on her feet from the shock. She turns her head angrily and said.

“Ask that the director wants to see you and Neo for a brief meeting” Catherine rolls her eyes and walked out angrily.

“What's her problem?and, you ass whole! You were smiling and grilling enjoying the attention” Sandra kicks him and walks away.

“Heeey. Come on, I didn't do anything wrong. She just wanted to ask me… Sandra wait” Neo pursues her to the director's office. Few minutes later, a group of seven adventurers assembled in a large room with executive chairman chairs and a large TV screen on the wall. The group was made up of Juliet, Catherine, Neo, Sandra, Brody, Gregory and a short dwarf called Rick. The door opens up, and the guild director walked into the room.
