Karaxos was my next opponent. copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡAcLhcotQ27
She had deep violet skin and black eyes. Her beaked mouth was long and sharp, her claws were a deep orange-gold that practically covered her fingers.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKJfwZcnfL
Her arms unnerved me the most. She had six spindly arms ready to rip, bruise, and punch with. She loomed over me, her body like a stick; straight, stiff, and deadly.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ598cHesW5p
As the final bell tolled for the match to begin, I took a deep breath, blocking out all the noise. A moment later, I could only hear Karaxos and my own heartbeat.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8xYsVeUKjx
Karaxos gave a shrill screech and darted after me, moving just like a centipede. I stared, mesmerized as she moved. Only when she was about to strike was I able to move. I somersaulted out of the way as she pounced where I had been seconds ago. I gasped for breath.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdDZhgl6uM
Mesmers. Able to entrance their prey, they always had a trump card.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡjyvLzg08XV

I started shrieking and screaming. Karaxos froze in bewilderment, as white scaled wings emerged from my back. The tops of my wings were a pair of claws twice the size of my hand, and resembled a dark, curved horn. They glittered white and silver, the most beautiful wings I'd ever seen. copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡTA2a8Nu8Ml

As she rose up to meet me, hands reaching for my neck, one of my wings grabbed her by the throat and threw her to the ground. My other wing punched her in the stomach. Hard. She was completely unconscious.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡAQ7GIb1CqR
I stood over her motionless form, waiting for my results.copyright protection217ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf0i53UuCH
