Haru was within the mist with a blade to his neck but he looked more bored than anything. From what could be made out he had his sheath against the corner of the scythe and the blade in the back of his opponent. A quick resheath later and he walked under the blade and jumped into a kind of cross section with graves around him. He looked around him to even sense any movements at all. He gave a sigh and gripped the handle.

“Been a while since I got blood on my sword. The sheath just removes it but it soaks it in and makes it heavy” Haru said.
“You think that stab is enough to stop me?!” the guy said.
“Of course not, you’re clearly tougher than that” Haru said and moved his arm at full length in a counter clockwise motion, “Full moon gleam”

With one swift unsheathe he sliced away all the mist in the entire arena. Dumbstruck, the guy could only get up as fast as he could and prepare for an attack. With another quick unsheathe, Haru sliced any and all things around his opponent and it was all the guy could do to block the incoming slashes. His scythe started producing large amounts of mist, pluming like smoke. With a new mist cloud around he was much more confident. Haru was now jumping about on one grave to another and the occasional destruction of part of the ground.

“As fun as this is, I’m getting bored” Haru said.
“This is fun for you?” the guy said.
“It was, I rarely get a chance to stretch my legs”
“Well stretch THIS!” he said with a blackened scythe head.

Haru quickly followed the blade through its entire swing without getting near the blade. Haru then moved his hand right up to the hand guard. With a clear unsheathing sound the guy jumped to the side to avoid any attack.

“Don’t get antsy, I’ve yet to attack” Haru said and lifted the sheath up only to show that only a bit of the blade was showing but that bit of blade glowed like the moon.
“What’s with your blade?” the guy asked almost concerned.
“I guess only you can see clearly through this” Haru said and put his finger up to the blade, “Blood moon waltz, spiral”

A quick slice forward and the match was done. The mist dissipated and Haru casually walked to Adalgar who was in the proses eating some of the food he brought and quickly getting up.

“About time man, how long where you going to mess with him?” Adalgar asked angrily.
“Come on, Straton was the last real challenge compared to Kedehern and even Ked…” Haru said but stopped.
“Kedehern what”
“Hmph, never mind, now, GIVE ME THE FOOD!”
“Hey no, not like that. Where’s all the samurai mojo earlier”
“Bite me, I’m hungry”

Back at the base Straton was finally able us his arm again though it’s still sore.

“Thanks doc” Straton said twirling around his arm.
“It’s nothing but just don’t make a habit of hurting yourself” the surgeon said leaving, “oh and if you have any problem with other rule breakers then just tell a curator, one of them is running this abolishment”
“That’s good to know” Straton said as he watch the guy walk out.

He sat a moment longer before getting up and leaving the room. The sun was setting so Nika and Alexandra headed towards their base to cross paths with Adalgar and Haru. After Nika told them of Alexandra’s victory which seemed to impress Adalgar at the very least, they haven’t seen an ice based combatant before but then again they only fight each other for the most part. They all went to the base and inside Kedehern and Straton where sitting at the complete opposite sides of the room enjoying the food and drink they had. Alexandra let out a little laugh because of the immaturity here while the others sighed. Alexandra went up to their room for some rest while Adalgar, Haru and Nika ordered something.

Meanwhile in a old metal building

Phoenix just walked in and was immediately punched in the face none other than Timber Wolf. She was piss at something as usual but any member with Phoenix is use to this by now.

“What the hell did I do now?” Phoenix complained.
“I felt like it” she said crossing her arms.
“That’s a excuse” Phoenix said with in a low voice.
“Oh shut up! I’m here playing guard dog while all you Myth newbies actually get to play”
“That’s because Imp is always on guard duty and Hydra had a date”
“A DATE!? HE TOLD ME HE WAS OUT OF TOWN ON FAMILY BUSINESS!” she yelled with pure anger, “when I see that skinny bastard I’ll bite off his neck”
“I don’t see your problem. You get to call a favor for Imp”
“Like one favor is enough to make me forget this”
“I’d think you just need to swallow your pride matriarch” a new voice comes in. It was a tall, older man (late 20s at least) in an all-black outfit of shorts, shoes, shirt and soaks. He had many metal bracelets on his right arm. He was rather skinny but clearly held a lot more power than he seemed.
“Shut up Jackal, you have a lot of nerve telling me to do anything after you let our spy use your name. What are you doing here anyway, shouldn’t you be with the bugs”
“Scarab told me there just fine as is. Besides, I don’t do so well without a sun” Jackal said without a fear of this woman.
“I see the alpha finally shows himself” Phoenix said with some joy.
“Oh yeah, we haven’t met yet, you or your faery friend”
“She’s… still getting use to use to our other side”
“That’s a shame though it was nice to meet the ‘Blazing Phoenix’, you look like you could” was all he was able to say before Timber Wolf grabbed his hair and drag him down enough to break his nose.
“What did I tell you about talking to these Myth bastards?”
“Yes my matriarch” Jackal said picking himself off the floor and left.
“Where is she anyway?”
“She’s around, but she doesn’t have much faith anyone but me yet”

The sun sets and rises again to begin day 2 of the great tournament. Alexandra and Straton head out to find something to do while Adalgar and Nika sleep in and Haru and Kedehern go to ‘thin the crowd’ they said. Alexandra has really opened up compared to yesterday, she knew the people she was with for the most part and she wasn’t going to go anywhere any time soon. Straton’s cell phone rings, it was his sister. After a while of talking he hung up.

“Who was that?” Alexandra asked.
“My older sister, she was wondering how I was doing, when I’ll be back”
“She sounds more like a mom”
“Yeah, she kind of is”
“So um, this is kind of selfish but when this is all over can I come with you guys?”
“Whhy?” Straton asks confused.
“I don’t know how many trains I took to get here and I’d rather not take any other chances ya know”
“Alright but I don’t know who would hold you up”
“I still have some money”
“Then I’ll be buying the lunch today then”
“Then this better not be a date”
“I hope not”

They both had a laugh and walked on. Little did they know they were being stalked. Both were in their older teens. One was in a yellow shirt, green sweat pants, shoes and blond hair. The other had a thick brown coat with no shirt and jeans with sandals. They both where clearly there for malicious intent.
