Join the new world

Fiery fists and balls of flame kept flying towards Chris and John.

"Good thing the Cieragonians kept their metal fire and heat-proof, eh John?"

"Yeah. Hah... Ugh! Man, Looks like the need for putting talks aside after the battle is a nice idea, Chris. This mages keep on raining fire."

"Yeah... Right, John. Haha. Looks like Kelsea's doin' good against Melina, though. Anyways, talk to you later, Johnny boy!"

And Chris ran towards one of the mages. John followed the other.

Sensing that he was being chased, one of the mages directed flames to jet down from his feet, giving him flight. "So you fly, eh?" John teased. Then the mage lit up his fists again.

"Arrgh!" John roared as he threw his hammer up towards the man on flight. It was easily dodged. John jumped up high enough to reach the man, catching his hammer mid-air. He slammed the mage's head with the hammer, forcing him to fall down.

John looked around. He saw Chris and the other mage's fist fight. fiery fists against steel gauntlets. He switched view to see Kelsea and Melina's fight. He was bedazzled by how these women fought. Their beauty, physically, matched their magic. Kelsea would block Melina's flame throws with sheets of ice, and she'd counter back with Icicles, in which Melina easily dodged due to the speed she had with her mastery of flame manipulation. He snapped out of bedazzlement, only to see that Rielle is missing in the battlefront.

Kelsea, seeing that John is free, shouted "John!"

She caught his attention.

"Rielle's in the woods go, follow her. She went to the left of where I am facing now. Go now, John. Go!"

He nodded and went straight in to the woods for Rielle.

"Well, Kelsea, I underestimated your pawns. They're quite formidable." Melina said. And with that, she threw a fireball towards Kelsea.

"Hah!" Kelsea created another sheet of ice that blocked Melina's projectile out of the way. "Yeah. And look, one of them's going after you." She smiled.

Looking around, Melina found Chris finished with one of the mages and was running towards her, gauntlet ready for the hit. As he was swinging his fist towards her, she dodged it. She smiled but suddenly, she felt pain in her left shoulder.

Kelsea has just hit her with an icicle. She fell down, and with her temperature rising, the icicle melted.

"I'll be back."

She was hot. Literally. Smoke started to come out from her skin. And suddenly, she was engulfed in flames. She teleported.

"Well, she's gone." Kelsea said.

"Yeah. Anyways, Where'd John go?" Chris inquired.

"Oh, him? He went after Rielle. He's searching for her right now, as we speak."

"Oh. Well, lets go now. We have to go after them." Chris started walking. Suddenly, he felt his feet getting heavier. He stopped moving. He can't walk.

Kelsea froze his feet.

"Hey! What's this for?!" Chris demanded an answer.

"Uh, so you can't walk, naturally." Kelsea replied sarcastically.

"Let me go!" He reactivated his gauntlet and he raised his hand for the punch towards the ice that surrounded his feet. Then again, his hands froze. "Kelsea!!! What are you trying to do?! John and Rielle might get in tr--"

Kelsea touched his lips with her index finger. "Ssshh, Chris. Calm down. Look, I know you know John inside out, but I know him, too. We we're classmates before, alright? Yes, I know his past, too. And I think its time he reconciled with Rielle."
