The Flute And The Bard part 15

Kiria fight continuing from where we left off on chapters 14

Morgan stands at the entrance with a bag in hand, walks in, and heads to take her seat among the other on watchers and sits back. A white line of pure magic appears at the center of the colosseum and expands up to make a screen-like rectangle as a commentator appears to greet the watchers.

“Welcome, welcome one and all to today's well formed event, Today we will have match after match until sun down!”

Kiria sighs as she steps onto the ring entices as she starts to walk forward to the light and puts her cloak hoodie over her ears, flute in hand with daggers at her side.

“As most of you know, today is about fun and laughs and maybe blood,” the commentator nudges the air and welcomes the first round

“Let’s give a warm welcome to…” the commentator looks over the sheet.

“Ki-rah?” He repeats like a novice.

“Kiria Greywood,” She corrects as she walks into the colosseum ring, all eyes focused on her as she walks out with a hood and holding only her flute.

“Ah, right. Kiria Greywood! And to your left, Jinn the Vast!” He exclaims as a man that seems to be in his early 20’s walks out with decked out armor and a grand sword walks out of the challenge entrance. Kiria looks up and bats an eye.

“Oh?” Her ears perked up, pulling her hood down to reveal her ears, signing shes gonna give this her all,

“I'm fighting a little girl? Hah! You’ve gotta be kidding me,” he rants as the commentator rings the bell. Kiria plays a steady overly calm tone with her flute as Jinn walks to her slowly dragging his sword like a barbarian.

“Little girl.. I’ll give you the choice to leave walking,” Kiria just plays as unknowing to Jinn, as his shadow gets bigger under him. Kiria reaches a note as the sword gets sucked into the shadow under him, but Jinn just pulls it out to cut the shadow with a magic spell.

“Play times over little girl” Jinn kicks Kiria, hard enough to send her flying, her back hitting the Colosseum wall. Morgan gasps covering her mouth as she watches.

“Kids thinking they can make it with some dumb dreams,” Jinn walks over slowly like before and again dragging his sword.

Erika watched with gritted teeth from the arena entrance.

“I-I’m not a kid,” Kiria grunted with gritted teeth, reaching into her pocket to place the golden wings shes gotten from hermes to her ankles. She gets up and in a blink of an eye, she disappears. Appearing behind Jinn, she returns the favor, kicking him right into the wall after she slid her flute back behind her into a harness to keep it on hold.

Morgan and Erika both sigh in relief as Kiria uses the walls to bounce off of them to completely disappear, only being seen as a flash of light going from wall to wall, landing blows to tire out her opponent. She stops and leaning against the Arena wall.

“What's the matter Mr. the Vast” She says as Jinn leans against his sword, gasping for air. “I know your lies.” Jinn stares at her and yells and charges at her with the intent to kill.

“You don’t know�"”

“I see the blood on your hands,” Kiria says bluntly as the gand sword comes down to her as if in an instant she draws one of her daggers from her sides and parries. Jinn falls back in utter fear

“I smell your sins,” Kiria said as she took the grand sword with one hand to raise it as Jinn struggled to hold the blade with both hands.

“This sword deserves better…” She says, as like the Arrow of Light in Morgan's back like before, Kiria turned the huge blade into bits of floating Mana that resemble balls of light as she took them for herself and absorbed them.

“The winner of round one…Kiria Greywood!” the announcer exclaims as Kiria walks back into the entrance she came from raising her arm in victory. Kiria returns as Erika runs up to hugs her tight as Kiria goes limp in her arms.

“Kiria… Kiria!” Erika cried as she carried Kiria to the infirmary

Hi!
I just read your story, and I’m obsessed! Your writing is incredible, and I kept imagining how cool it would be as a comic.
I’m a professional commissioned artist, and I’d love to work with you to turn it into one, if you’re into the idea, of course! I think it would look absolutely stunning.
Feel free to message me on Discord (laurendoesitall) or Instagram (lizziedoesitall) if you’re interested. Can’t wait to hear from you!

Best,
Lauren
