The moment she saw Jessi alive and well, Fei breathed a sigh of relief. Anyone of his capabilities would have no problem fighting any of their appointments, she shouldn’t have been worried in the first place. So why was she..? At his humorous remark, she flashed a slight smile. It was rather annoying that they’d been tricked through magic twice… [color=ed145b]“Well, if they want to fight through magic, let’s give them a show.” [/color]Fire burned through Fei’s veins and if people wanted to battle with her flames, she wouldn’t back down. 

As she was looking at Jessi, a dark figure hovered over him and didn’t hesitate to strike him with the gigantic sword in his hands. The fact that he, who she now recognized as the knight from the night before, had managed to sneak up on both of them worried Fei for both of them should have already sensed him. Before she could so much as move to attack, the man laid a forceful kick in her chest and she was thrown to the ground as her breath escaped her.[i][color=ed145b] Bastard..[/color][/i] The pain in her breast was incredible but she bit her lip before she would show the odd figure that. Something about him felt rather strange. He felt.. cold. And she couldn’t help but be confused as he went to shout orders from the Platinum guardian. One working for the Imperium surely wouldn’t attack Fei like this, even with orders from a guardian. There were other methods to safely take her out rather than attack her. Something wasn’t right about him… 

The knight was well trained, his fighting methods were exceptional, expected of one coming from the Imperium. He moved with ease and flexibility and Fei could barely predict his movements.  She definitely hadn’t expected the knight to nex do a summersault and prepare to smash into Fei. Part of her felt like a little girl at the moment, how someone from the Imperium would be the one to defeat her. She closed her eyes and waited, but instead of the aching pain she expected, there was nothing. Her eyes flickered open to find familiar silver flames blocking the knight from reaching her and knocking him off balance. While she knew of the deal she had made with the Jester, she hadn’t expected it to be so powerful. It seemed his promise that she would in fact win this tournament would prove to be true. Of course that didn’t mean she would simply hold back. 

Jessi held no hesitation as he took the man’s confusion to trip him and take position in front of Fei. She raised her eyebrow as he then went to order her to stay back. As a guard, Jessi had no right to speak to her in such a commanding tone. Part of her was even annoyed that he thought he could order her around but she knew it had nothing to do with that. Jessi wanted blood, wanted to prove that no one could mess with him and get away with it, and he wanted to protect her. So she did something she wouldn’t typically do, back down. She would let him have the knight. No words needed to be said as she took a few steps back and allowed Jessi his wish. 

Fei turned her head slightly to assess the rest of the battlefield. It seemed everyone was caught up in their own battles, leaving her the choice of who to pick off first. The sorcerer and late arrival of the competition were already far into battle. Smirking, Fei thought she’d use one of her tome’s abilities she hadn’t used in a while. Taking a deep breath, she stared at both Letty and the sorcerer with tense eyes. Emotions of angst and fear would soon drift into their minds, taking control, consuming them. It was an unfair trick Fei typically chose not to use but she needed to win this battle as quickly as possible. Time was of the utmost essence. 

As she let the magic take effect, Fei began to slowly make her way over the two. While the trick would weaken their mind, it still didn’t mean they were completely useless and could still very much prove to be a challenge. But Fei was prepared for that and gripped her two swords to prove it.
