Daniel raised his hands in a peaceful gesture and said to her : "Hold up ! Hold up, please."
Anaya didn't seem to want to stop, she was like possessed, she replied with a twisted smile on her face : "Too late !"
Both of her scimitars turned as yellow and bright as the sun and high and thick golden flames was on the blades, she was ready to strike when suddenly Celia appeared right in front of her, her hands were on both side of her waist, and she didn't seem pleased at all.
Celia could see the struggle in Anaya eyes that had turned completely golden, so she said to her : "Enough my baby wife, that boy is Caleb's bond, he is part of our family now, calm down, everything is alright."
The scimitars blades in Anaya's hands returned to normal and Anaya's eyes returned to their usual dark color, Anaya looked at Celia shocked at what she could have done : "Damn, I've lost control, my love I am so sorry."
Anaya put the daggers back inside her magic bag and hugged Celia, she said again : "I'm so sorry, maybe you were the one who was right and that the competitions are too dangerous for me."
Celia said to her gently while stroking her back and said : "My beloved baby wife, there is no problem if you want to burn to ashes our enemies when you are angry, but if you cannot control this anger and kill innocent people, it will become problematic. However, don't worry too much, we are all here to act if necessary, we will never let something like this happen, okay."
Celia pulled away a little bit from Anaya and said to Daniel : "Daniel, it's nice to meet you, even if the circumstances are a bit strange, I'm Celia and the girl you just fought is my wife, Anaya.
Since I just saved your life, could you forfeit from this competition, you will have more chances to fight together, so you don't have to pout, get it ?"
Anaya nodded obediently and Daniel opened his eyes wide in amazement, for him a golden dragon was the ultimate existence that stood at the top of the food chain, how this Celia could manage to tame her so easily and suddenly he exclaimed : "I remember now, Caleb told me that Anaya's wife was the most powerful mage he has ever seen, so it's you ?"
Celia was surprised that Caleb said that about her and she couldn't help but look in his direction, Anaya took the opportunity to put her arm around her waist in a possessive way and answered instead of Celia : "Of course it's her. Believe me, if anyone other than her had intervened when I was in this state, I would have stabbed him witout a hesitation.
So Daniel ... As Cel asked you nicely, if you could just forfeit or get out of the combat ring first to end this competition, I'm sure Caleb is eager to give you a beating."
Daniel nodded, he knew that Caleb will be angry that he had used dark flames without controling them, fortunately for him Anaya was the golden dragon so nothing wrong had happened.
He turned to the head instructor and said : "I lost, I would be dead if that girl hadn't intervened, I forfeit."
The head instructor nodded, he was not really sure that he had understood everything that had happened but indeed Anaya had seemed to have gained the upper hand over the end of the fight, so he announced the results : "Ladies and gentlemen Anaya is declared the winner of the fighters competition, Daniel therefore finished second, the rest of the tournament will start in the early afternoon."
Anaya started to walk towards the boys with Celia then turned her head when she felt that Daniel was not following them, she asked him : "Are you not coming ? If it's because of what I said earlier, forget it, Caleb is not this kind of man at all, come on, don't be shy he is waiting for you ..."
Daniel ended up following them, there were so many emotions mixed up inside him that he didn't know how to react anymore, and Anaya had seen right he was a little afraid of having disappointed Caleb and he didn't want to see disappointment in the eyes of the man who was his sacred bond.
Caleb felt his hesitation and he saw the fear in his gaze as he approached him, Caleb didn't hesitate for a second and put an arm around his shoulders to put him a little closer to him, he said to him : "Nice fight, really very impressive."
Daniel put an arm around his waist and asked him hesitantly : "Aren't you mad at me ?"
Caleb looked surprised and replied : "Why should I be mad ? If it's because of the black flames accident, well I'll just say that it would have been really creepy if at your age you could control all your powers.
Seeing as it was Anaya, your black flames were way too weak to hurt her, and if it had been anyone else, well I wouldn't care, I care only about my family, it would have just been an accident nothing more, arrrg ! Liam what the fu*k do you think you are doing ?"
When Liam heard what was saying Caleb to Daniel who seemed to be still very innocent, he couldn't help but hit his brother's head, he said to him : "Don't tell him that, you should tell him that you will be always there for him to avoid this kind of accident, you idiot !"
Caleb looked confused, he wasn't used to being in a relationship so he asked Daniel : "Would you have preferred me to say that ?"
Daniel looked at him and answered him honestly : "Yes, I would have preferred, but I'm already glad that you weren't mad."
Caleb found him so cute that he kissed him on the forehead and said : "I promise I won't let you kill innocent people, and if I can't be there for some reason, my brothers and friends won't let you kill innocent people either, was that better ?"
Daniel gave him a dazzling smile and came to snuggle in his arms, Caleb winked at Liam to thank him and suddenly Daniel pulled away from him saying urgently : "Damn, I completely forgot ! I wanted to warn you that the man who was at the head of those who murdered my parents were looking for the golden dragon ..."
Caleb had put his fingers on his mouth to prevent him from continuing, he said to him : "Not here kid, wait until we are in a safe place, Tal must have already exhausted his chakra reserve to cover up your fight with Anaya, so don't give him any more work."
Liam nodded, he said : "Let's go find everyone, now that the competition is over, Cel is back to our priority."
They all nodded except Daniel who didn't quite understand what was going on, but Caleb had asked him to be quiet, so he was just going to follow them and wait for the right moment to warn them of the danger, because this man, or should he say this demon, was not just any demon, he was the generals' commander of the demon god.
