It seems Enishi brought with him some powerful friends to aid in the fight, [color=9e005d][i]No fair...💧[/i][/color], she thought. To make matters worse, Keith blundered and got himself got by the enemy. Indeed, having been bound by the man he mistook for Enishi, it seems he was about to be interrogated. To top it all off, Kazudain was making off with Sir Juan, their intended target. Her cards hit the boy the hooded fellow was with at least, but it appears the injury will be short-lived thanks to the potion the boy received. [color=9e005d]"Enishi, dear, it breaks my heart to have to do this. Especially since we've only just reunited, but you see, I believe it's time I took my leave of the fray."[/color] With that Hisana began back-flipping up a nearby building, using her Elastic Love to aid her in her escape. [color=00aeef]"You've run away long enough, your fate ends with me!"[/color] Snapped Enishi as he tried to thwart Hisana's plans by shooting at her with blades of ice channeled from his tachi. [color=00aeef]"Hisana, all that awaits you is judgement from my blade."[/color] He said. [color=9e005d]"My, you always knew how to sweet talk a girl.~"❤️[/color] Mused the dame. While frivolous as always, she knew that Enishi would be the main issue in preventing her escape. What to do, what to do? At that moment, a thought popped in her mind. Why not kill three birds with one stone? After all, she very well couldn't leave without reducing Keith and Juan to bloody corpses. At this point, they were both nothing more than liabilities. That added to the fact that Hisana had been looking for the perfect opportunity to slit Keith's throat. With that, Hisana came up with an ultimatum for Enishi - continue to chase her down, or save his so needed captives. [color=9e005d][i]I'm sure Annie won't mind.~ She may miss Keith, but oh well.[/i][/color] Hisana began to throw a multitude of cards aimed at both Juan and Keith, hoping that some of the cards would cause fatal damage to their necks and heads. She noticed that the fox girl was headed for the Kazudain, she hoped that would make it harder for him to make a counterattack against the incoming projectiles. [color=9e005d]"Who will it be, love? Me, or them?"⭐[/color], taunted Hisana. If her plan worked, both targets would be sliced to death and she'd be on her merry way. [color=00aeef]"Damn it! Lumina, watch out!"[/color] Shouted Enishi to his partner. [hr] [center][h3][color=fff200]--Lisia--[/color][/h3][/center] Lisia could feels the effects of her bolt as it struck, vitality soon began to return to her. However, it seemed it was short lived, as soon after she was struck by the dark javelin barrage regardless. Feeling a sharp pain all over her body, she went spiraling to the ground some feet away. It looked as thought the lightning had at least hit Seleth as she planned, though, as she was sent back flying along with her. After landing, her body ached and she found she couldn't move even an inch. What little energy she had regained immediately left her, she could feel consciousnesses fading away [color=fff200]"N..No..."[/color], was all she had the strength to say before passing out. There was darkness for a time, but eventually the princess woke. She found herself in an infirmary of sorts, but what else could that mean she wondered? Soon she found at her side a beastkin nurse, one she recognized from the academy. After Dr. Elma began to trail off of her explanation of events passed, Lisia could tell where this was going. [color=fff200]"It's ok, Dr. Elma, you don't have to say anything. You know, it's kinda funny. Going into this, I kept telling myself that no matter what I wouldn't lose. I guess I felt that if I just kept saying that in my head everything would work out. But, during that fight, I had made some bad decisions. Decisions that probably cost me the match, I guess I don't know what came over me. I don't know, maybe I was anxious to get to the grand finals. I told myself that I wouldn't take Seleth's abilities for granted, but even so I..."[/color] Lisianthus took a moment to wipe her face with her hand, she tried her best to hide the little tears that started to form. [color=fff200]I'm fine, really. Sometimes those of royal blood need to be knocked a peg down or two. Having always been the valedictorian of my class, it seems I forgot what defeat actually feels like. There's...no reason why I can't simply look at this as a valuable learning experience, right? No sense in throwing myself a pity party!" [/color] After she was finished speaking, Lisanthus stared down at her bandaged hands, unable to look the nurse in the eye despite her strong words. The onslaught of emotional turmoil stirring inside of her hurt more than her physical wounds by far. The tournament meant more to her than it did most other people. [color=fff200][i]Father, I beg for your forgiveness...[/i][/color] She said in her mind.
