The Balance of the Grand Design

[Kira]

We kept battling, it was to not end until one of us died or. . .no. . .that was our only choice. Sparks from the lightning in my hands, was burning even me, bits hitting my flesh sending the electric current through. Theother spell being light in spots was scorching his skin, sweat down his forehead. . .scared. My opponent, a friend of mine, was struggling with his own spell. He had fumbled with words at the start and now it was weak, the possibility of my winning was only inevitable. . .his death was not meant and neither was mine, therefore my thoughts were for us to stop but it was not aloud. . .so the duel continued. . .and I was passed as a reaper of souls. . .

Nessa Cairns stood at a distance watching the battle, unseen, she hoped. For good measure, the girl pulled an elastic band out of her black hair, letting it fall in front of her face.

She'd stumbled onto the scene by mistake, and although she knew she should get a move on, she couldn't seem to tear her hazel eyes away from the fighting.


OOC: Sorry it took me so long to jump in, Kira.

For the days that passed I grieved for as long as I was allowed but for some odd reason I felt it was not necessary. . . though if I returned earlier then was expected I believed I might be passed onto a psychiatrist which was not the most pleasant of thing I wanted.
As the last of the hours ticked by until I was allowed to take my first mission I finished finding my center of focus with a last relaxing breath. It passed from my lips not even a second after. . .then a knock on the door. "Yes?"
"You've grieved enough....come and join the rest of the dead."
"Finally" I muttered to myself.
