Chapter 34-True Colours: Part 1-Decieved

"No..."

"You know exactly who I'm talking about, don't you, Alex?"

"N-No, you...it can't be-"

"Oh, but it is, my dear boy." He started making his way towards me, pulling his sleeve back to his wrist.

"I am a humble servant of the Corrupted King."

"For someone so humble, you sure do taunt a lot." I rolled my eyes. Bliss's face went red in offense. He took one more step towards me, his eyes glowing menacingly. I stayed calm, my eyes glowing a bright red-ish orange.

"You little-"

"Flamewave!"

I cut him off, as a glowing oramge aura enveloped my body. With a bright burst, a roaring wave of flame rippled from my body in all directions. The flames hit Bliss with a loud explosion, forcing him back. I suddenly had control over my body again. I looked down at my hands, opening and closing them, panting.

"Oh god, that really does need a lot of power. I can't believe that worked-"

I was cut of by sphere of purple energy hitting my stomach. I let out a painful groan as I was forced back, stumbling. I quickly got up, clutching my stomach in pain, winded.

"Ouch." I growled. I lifted my head to see Bliss walking towards me, an angry scowl spread across his face.

"That attack caught me by surprise, I'll admit. But you won't get another lucky shot like that, Fier."

With that, he disappeared. I readied a ball of flame in each of my palms. I then felt a presence behind me and thrust my hands downward, propelling myself into the air like a rocket, narrowly missing a punch from Bliss. He growled and looked up at me before disappearing again. A split second later, I propelled myself forward with my flames as Bliss appeared behind me. I dodged another attack, before he disappeared once again, reappearing back on the arena tile under me.

'Must not be as nimble in the air...' I thought to myself. He shot an energy sphere at me. I dodged it easily. As I steadied myself in the air, I felt another energy ball colliding with my back. I lost balance for a split second, only to feel my body to be stuck in place again. The flames in my hands got put put as my body was brought towards the ground in front of Bliss's unamused face.

"You're making this so much more difficult than it needs to be, Fier." He growled. He then threw me to the side with his telekinesis. I crashed into the arena wall. Dust and smoke scattered from the wall as bits of concrete fell to the ground. I felt winded. I fell to the ground after a second, landing painfully on my side. I groaned, trying to pick myself up. The pain in my back made it difficult. It didn't help that my head was also pounding.

"Okay, that hurt..." I muttered, trying to balance myself. I caught sight of Bliss making his way towards me through the smoke. As he got closer, I tried to create a flame in my hands.

"Come on, come on!" I muttered desperately. A small flame danced in my palm.

"Yes!"

It danced, then flickered, then went out.

"No!"

A purple glow held my body in place. I then felt my body straightening until I was now hovering a foot off the ground like a toothpick. Bliss made his way to me, a few feet away.

'Mr Silva said not to use flamewave more than once because of how much power it requires...' I thought to myself. Bliss took another few steps towards me. His eyes puerced through the settling dust.
