CHAPTER 27 - UNCAGED
“FIGHT!” the announcer was more hyper than usual when he gave the signal to start the skirmish. The crowd was delighted at placing higher bets on the two champions. At a glance, they presumed that the challenger teams were weak because they were not as muscular as the shifter defeaters. Darkis attempted to fight, but Seti held his arms to stop him. He slowly lay down his sword.
“You are getting us killed, Lioness!” There was a panic in the horse shifter’s eyes.
“This is going to be over quick. Don’t move.” Seti was confident.
“You are right, lady. This match will be over in a blink of an eye. We will ravish your body to satisfy our thirst, then you and your companions’ blood will spill here along with these weaklings!” said one of their opponents with a towering height. Probably around seven feet. He pointed out the dead bodies inside the cage, with their still

Malaika CHAPTER 28 - WELCOME
MALAIKA gasped as she awoke near Helga, who was in her deep slumber. Bright purple flowers surrounded her body as she lay to rest on the sacred ground of the cave.“Xoxo….” She tried to look for her magical creature. It was on her shoulder as if studying the dead body of Helga.“H-Help her, please. Give her a speck of your power and make her heart beating again.” She pleaded.No amount of magic can revive the dead, princess.Xoxo’s voice was unmistakable.Her eyes welled again. She walked towards Helga and kneeled. Her hands touched her pale face, and it was still warm.Malaika began to sob.Helga’s neck was surrounded by thick tiger fur, and her wound was not visible.It was her fault. If she didn’t get involved with her, they might be living in peace in their village until now. But because the couple helped her, their life was jeopardized. S
Malaika CHAPTER 29 - ETHERA
MALAIKA and Frode reached Ethera after two days of travel. He suggested dropping by the market before proceeding to the stadium where the fight would be held.“Stay here. We can’t attract crowds in this clothing.” Frode jumped down from the saddle of his elk. He walked towards her and helped her remove her thick fur cloak.“Thanks. Please hurry. I’m getting impatient.”Frode nodded. They traveled continuously with only minimal rest to reach here immediately. However, Frode would train her magic control along the way.And she was glad to learn the basics of manipulating the water to harden it.Malaika looked at Xoxo, who was asleep, curling in her neck. The magical creature had been a great help to her. The lady who gifted it was so generous. She must be an ancient cave-dweller, and her magic remnants remained.She noticed the temperature in Ethera was warmer yet colder compare
Malaika CHAPTER 30 - GREEN-EYED KILLER
“I HAVE seen a lone fighter. I was shocked to see she was a young girl! She only entered the tournament yesterday, but she had been fighting non-stop!” Hadir exclaimed to everyone. He was tasked to gather information in the stadium.Seti and Pierre glanced at each other. The lioness could not hide her excitement. “Have you seen her? Tell us what she looks like.”“She looked innocent yet mystifying. Her emerald eyes contain unfathomable hatred. She had been killing her opponents.”Valin dived in. “What’s her name again?”“Alfreda Herfst from Northern Axum. You guys should be wary of her. She’s a beast hiding in a young girl’s body. She is merciless. Even her magic is godly. She must be an offspring of royal blood out of wedlock!” Hadir’s eyes were wide. He had seen the battle on the second floor, and now the girl quickly advanced to the third floor to fa
Malaika CHAPTER 31 - HAVOC
VALIN stood in the middle as they formed their defensive formation. He silently studied his teammates, who were a bit worn out because of the four non-stop fighting. And now they were facing six magic-user elves with their mana still full.The captain glanced around the massive stadium. He could see the wealthy elves giving their opponents a hefty amount of bets. And there was Travion, whose face was worried. He was seated beside Attisha and Darkis, who seemed to be praying to the Water Goddess.The warriors from Hala were at a disadvantage from the numbers alone. The group battle had a maximum member of six, and right now, the shifters were only four. Granted that they were elite fighters from Hala, they could not underestimate their enemies. They didn’t know what kind of water magic they could wield.Valin had seen different kinds of water magic. Some possessed a simple technique to summon it, and some could change its properties like
Malaika CHAPTER 32 - NEW PLAN
MALAIKA slowly gasped as she regained consciousness, and her worried friends’ faces came into view. Her eyes welled up in tears as she saw Seti and Attisha crying, looking down at her.“I thought we lost you.” Seti gave her a warm hug, and Attisha did the same.“We missed you.” Attisha sobbed.“I survived…” she whispered.Malaika was grateful that they were all reunited at last. She gently stroked their backs and felt their warmth to ensure this was not a dream. It had been so long since she had seen them.It was by accident when she witnessed them in that battle. She went down the lower floor to survey the wealthy elves who own a shifter oppressing them. And Malaika thought she imagined things when she saw Captain Valin and Madar shift to their bird form and try to hit their enemy’s neck when she gazed at the arena.Malaika was even more surprised to recognize
Malaika CHAPTER 33 - DELEGATES
THE chieftain was horrified when General Rikrus stated the reasons for his sudden visit. He had predicted this long ago, and it was happening sooner than he expected. But he had to stay calm and didn’t show any emotions despite everything he had learned. “I had to rush here because time is of the essence. General Iljun and I had the same findings regarding the crack in the invisible barrier. We found out that several spies are here on the island, causing the stirs of the uprising. This is not just about Axum and Hala,” Rikrus looked at everyone in the room, “This is about Virina and our Great Lake. Outside the walls are never-ending wars fighting for their limited resources because the magic has been exhausted to preserve their lands.”“What do you suggest, General Amakir?” Zuyesh looked him straight in the eye. “Our armies must train together and fight a common enemy to defend our island,” Rikrus said without blinking. Murmured echoed around among the elders present there. Most ap
Malaika CHAPTER 34 – GAME TIME
MALAIKA and her team had reached the Baraf safely. Everyone was wary of an ambush during their travel, knowing about the uprising. Thankfully, she regained her strength with the help of Attisha’s medicine. Everyone reminded her not to overdo her magic, especially since she could still not harness it properly.“You learned magic that easy? How did you know the proper incantation?” Seti had been bugging her about this matter. Malaika obliged to tell them the detailed story from the day Erevan had abducted her to pass the time. They were in an inn that Travion arranged for them.“Now that I remember it, I lost consciousness back in the cave, and when I woke up, Erevan was gone… and there was a sign of flooding. Could it be that I summoned the water unconsciously? Frode said I could even use water magic without chanting.” Malaika recalled what happened. It was the first time she met the cave dweller and perhaps triggered her magic, the reason she gifted Xoxo.Malaika shook her head. She h
Malaika CHAPTER 35 – REMATCH
YULLI was stretching on the battleground as he prepared for his first fight. And just as his team had expected, he’d face the lone warrior, Alfreda Herfst. Commander Alleki, along with Luan, sat in the distance. They were on standby in case something happened to the wolf shifter. They had seen how Alfreda fought her opponents, and despite Yulli being overconfident about winning, Alleki had some doubts.A magic user would always remain at an advantage compared to a shifter. Although Yulli was a strategist, they must not be complacent. Some participants were heavily injured, and worse, others died. This wasn’t a ‘friendly’ competition at all. The crowd was lively as usual. This was one of the most anticipated fights since it was the formal opening for the higher castes.“A pleasant morning, everyone! We’ll be going to start the first battle with a bang! The notorious Alfreda Herfst is here, and she’d fight with one of the fiercest warriors from Hala!” It was the female elf announcer w
