The tournament, the fifth

The tournament, the fifth
This city wasn't very big, but it had a hotel where the group could spend the night. When everyone else slept, Luna set off again. She wanted to go for a walk again, because the night was cold but still beautiful. She had even left this town and, for a reason she did not know but suspected, headed straight for some cliffs nearby. From a distance she could see a figure standing on the edge of the abyss. As she got closer, she recognized this person. It was - as Luna had already suspected - Hao. "I knew you would come.", He said when she stood next to him. Luna didn't answer. "You want to know something about the book, am I right?" Asked her brother after a while. Luna nodded. “What's on the last 10 pages of the book?” “Why don't you just read it?” “Because those pages are missing.” “I thought so.” “Why?” “There are dangerous techniques in it."" Dangerous Techniques? " "Yes. " "What for example? "" It's too dangerous for you. "" I think I can decide for myself what is too dangerous for me. "" No, not in this case. " "How do you mean? "" As I say. It's just too dangerous for you. You could die "" How long have you been worried about my death? "" That's just because it's really too dangerous, believe me. "" You wrote it, so you must know ... "The person you were talking to nodded." But I would like to know what it said ... "" Here! "Hao held out an amulet to his sister. Reluctantly she took it." What ...? "" If you really want to know, find out with the help of this shadow amulet. "" Shadow amulet? " "Yes. It will surely help you if you really want to find out. " "…" "What is? "" ... "" Luna? "" ... "" Luna! "" ... "No reaction. Hao touched his sister's shoulder. Still no reaction. Now he put his other hand on her other shoulder and pulled her away from the abyss.She didn't move a bit alone. Luna was frozen stiff. “Luna!” Hao slapped his sister in the face, but nothing changed in her condition. She stared perplexed at the ´shadow amulet´. Her eyes were empty. No breath ran through her body. "Wake up!" Hao yelled at his sister. But still she didn't move. Hao growled softly. He had feared it. The force was just too strong. Now he had to bring her back first and find a solution to this problem. For once he didn't know a solution. He quietly brought Luna, who was still stiff, back to the hotel by spending the night. Then he disappeared again silently.

This condition continued the next morning as well. No reaction, no breath, no nothing. Her friends were at a loss as to what was wrong with her. Since they did not know and the time was running out in which they had to come to Dobie-Village, they packed them on their backs without further ado and started on their way to Dobie-Village.Even after a few days nothing changed in the young shaman's condition. Only when they came to a ruin did they come to life again. "What happened?" She was asked immediately. "I ... I ... I don't know ..." it just came from her lips. She was confused. She couldn't even remember the conversation with Hao and the amulet that she found in her pocket, Hao had put it there. "You don't know?" Asked Yo. Luna nodded, "I really don't know." "Good ...", Yo said, a little tense, "Anyway, you're awake again. And we can now go to Dobie Village. We have to go to the ruins up there." Again nodded Luna only. After packing up their things, everyone except Tami, Run, Anna and Manta made their way into the ruins. A door opened for the others and they passed through. The shamans followed a staircase that led deeper and deeper into the underground of the old city ruins. They also had to cover a diving route that the dry path had come to an end.After the diving section, they still had to cover a distance on foot. After a while they came to a dead end. The way ahead of them was cut off. After a brief consultation, they decided to turn back. But when they turned around, the way behind them was also blocked and they were trapped. Before anyone could say another word about it, they were shrouded in a bright light. "Your last test on the way to Dobie-Village begins now!", They heard a voice that Luna looked all too familiar.

When Luna came to she was lying in a bed. She got up and went outside. As soon as she took the first step, she immediately recognized where she was. In Izumo. // Izumo? What? What am I doing here? Why is it so empty and deserted? Where are all the people // she asked herself. She started wandering the streets. A broken staff lay in front of her. That was Vivalinas. Startled, she went on. She started running after finding more of her friends' weapons on the way.All broken. What was going on here? She followed the trail of broken weapons until she came to a tree. All her friends were hanging in this tree. Unconscious and injured. She tried to run to them, but was thrown back by a powerful wall of energy. "Turn back! Your friends didn't pass the test!" There was that voice again. But Luna did not think of turning back. "I'm not going without my friends!" She shouted, attacking the energy wall. She was often pushed back until she was barely strong. But she kept attacking, at some point she just fell over from exhaustion. Then she heard this voice again: "You passed!"

She only came to a few hours later. She was lying in a bed in a house. She straightened up. Yuriko hovered in front of her. "Luna! You are awake!" She exclaimed happily. "Yuriko! I'm so happy to see you! But ... what actually happened?" "You had an entrance exam after you were all wrapped in the light.You had passed. Then you passed out. The priests brought you here. ", Yuriko said," By the way, welcome to Dobie Village! "That ... That means ... We made it!" Luna jumped up. She left the house. Outside she met her friends. Everyone else was already awake. Together they had decided to go out to eat. On the way there, they talked about the exam. Patchee Chief Goldva delivered his speech through the loudspeakers. "Dear shamans. Welcome to Dobie-Village! The rules of the tournament state that the last round will be fought in groups of three. Please split up into groups of three and report to the Patchee Combat Center within the next three days. Thank you ! "With that, Goldva ended his speech. “What?” Shouted Vivalina, “But there are four of us!” “I'm fighting with Luna!” Said Vivalina and Hana at the same time. "No!", Luna said immediately. “What do you mean?” “It's very simple: If you all want to be in a group with me, then you fight in one and I'll find someone.", answered Luna." But I didn't say anything! ", Shay defended himself." I know, but it doesn't mean afterwards that I preferred someone of you, that's why you'll form a team. I already find someone. "Reluctantly, the three nodded. Together they went to the combat center, where Luna's friends registered.

On the evening of the third day.
Luna still hadn't found anyone. She was sitting in a chair in the combat center. "Ahhh ... Hello Luna!", She suddenly heard Silver next to her. "Oh ... Hello Silver ...", Luna said a little sadly because the deadline had expired 5 minutes ago. "Tell me Luna ... Are you really sure that this person should be on your team?" Asked Silver, a little uncertain. "Who are you talking about? I don't know anything about a team!" "From ... Hao and Opacho. You fight according to the registration form in their team." "Please! I don't know anything about that!" Took his team without letting you know. When he registered, he told us that everything had been discussed with you.Well ... Now you can't change anything anyway. "" Seems so ... ", Lu sighed," Doesn't matter ... at least I have a team ... "// WHY !! Why did he do that? // Luna thought to herself. Goldva wanted to speak to me after all ... and Nichrome too ... "Silver nodded," Then you'd better go to Goldva right away. It should be in the big building in the middle of town. " "Many Thanks! I will be on my way immediately! ", she thanked her and was standing in front of the house after a short time.

She entered. Goldva had already expected them. "Come in!", She heard his voice say and did as he was told. “Sit down!” Luna nodded cautiously and sat down on the chair that Goldva had offered her. "First of all, I want to thank you for saving lip and rap from Hao. But: IT WAS MUCH TOO DANGEROUS FOR A YOUNG GIRL LIKE TO GO ALONE WITH THE TWO! THE TWO COULD HAVE PERFORMED IN THIS !!!", he suddenly thundered .Luna looked at him startled. She hadn't expected an older man to get this loud until she remembered her grandfather could too. If he wanted to. "I ... It ... I'm really sorry about what happened to both of them. I didn't mean to. If I could have done something, I would have done it, but Hao was just too strong for me ..." Luna apologized cautiously . "That may be true and you could not have expected it, but it was irresponsible to leave her with him for so long!" "I know ..." "Good ... You can go!" Said Goldva. Luna nodded slightly and slowly got up. Then she made her way to the door. Goldva wanted to say something else, but left it. Luna breathed a sigh of relief when she left the building. Old men can be really loud ... Good. Next she went looking for nichrome. She found him too. Apparently he was waiting for her. "Luna!" He shouted, jumping down from one of the roofs and landing right in front of her."Hello Nichrome!", Luna greeted the young Patchee in front of her, "I've been looking for you." "I know. That's why I'm here." He smiled and pressed a small box into her hand. This was decorated with beautiful carvings. "What?"
"I wanted to thank you. For looking after both of them a bit. That's why this box too. Thank you again!" "It's okay." Luna smiled, "I have to thank you for this box Thank you! "" Okay. I have to go again. See you soon! ", Said Nichrom and disappeared again. Luna sighed. She didn't know where to spend the night, and she was on a team with
