Feral Confessions – Adrianna And The Alpha

Adrianna and Lile ran out of the cave as fast as they could. The snow was knee-deep and it wasn't easy for them to run down the slope but both still managed it somehow. It being the home ground for Yeti, he managed to walk through it easily. Lile already had the advantage of running ahead of Adrianna. 

Adrianna saw that Lile had gained almost fifty meters distance from her and the Yeti was now very far behind. Suddenly, Lile turned and sent a large bolt of lighting at her shouting, "Lux Caecor!" The lighting that was emitted from her wand was in the form of serrated electricity that was not only supposed to numb her but even blind her. Adrianna was shocked beyond words. From the front Lile was attacking her and from the back it was Yeti. She was sandwiched between the two strong foes. 

Adrianna deflected the spell efficiently in a way that it went and landed on the ice nearby leaving a large hole in the snow. Lile sent another one of the same spells towards her way to stop her. Her strategy was that if Adrianna got struck with the spell, it would be easy to take her down and at the same time, Yeti would attack its prey. Being awakened from its slumber, Yeti was very hungry. It was advancing towards Adrianna with large strides and great speed. 

Every time Lile would send the spell her way, Adrianna would deflect. Adrianna was scared that if the spell went and hit Yeti it would die. 

Once again Lile started running because Adrianna was deflecting the spells while running towards her and the distance between them became smaller. After a few meters, instead of going downwards, the mountains around started rising up. Lile looked around to see if there was any place from where she could run down, but everywhere the direction only sloped up. Suddenly an idea came to her and she stopped. As she stopped, she looked at Adrianna and closed her eyes. When she opened then, she released a huge ball from her wand and sent it her way. 

Adrianna dodged it with agility, but she saw that Lile was now sending bundles of red fireballs towards her. She dodged them but one of hit the Yeti. The fireball was so potential that when it hit the Yeti, he sank his knees to the ground wincing in pain. Adrianna saw it and stood frozen over there. In the next instant she saw that Lile had run away further up. 

Lile wanted Adrianna to stop and be hit by the red fireballs so that she became Yeti's prey. However, something she hadn't anticipated happened. The Yeti got hit, which meant that now Adrianna was safe from its wrath. "Shit!" she cursed and then started running away from them. She was hoping to find a place to go downwards beyond the plateau that she could see a few meters ahead now. 

She saw that Adrianna had actually stopped. She was looking at the Yeti. Then she looked up towards her. She was looking so furious that for once Lile got scared. She picked up the pace to go higher the slope. Once she reached up, she saw that it was a small plateau hardly hundred feet wide. She ran towards the opposite side feeling happy that she would do down the slope on the opposite side away from Adrianna.

Ever since Lile had entered the portal, she was in a lot of pain. The whale had hit her with a huge force. Had she been in her original form, she would have died instantly. It was her dragon form that saved her but even then the pain she had experienced the previous night was just too much. At one point of time she wanted to quit the competition and go back but then she knew if she did that, her entire family would hunt her and kill her. It was either get killed in this competition or get killed by her family. Her father had been personally teaching her all the spells. Being staunch followers of Vikra, they knew that this was the only way to get him back. She had to kill Adrianna. But she was turning out to be quite a formidable one. It was impossible to defeat. Adrianna had sent Zephyr out of her cell. 

With all those thoughts in mind, she ran faster. She wanted to survive and gain some strength before attacking or being attacked by Adrianna. She took out another bottle of potion and drank the liquid inside. This was her last. She had drunk one the previous night and somehow survived the chill of the night after finding a small hole hidden inside one of the mountains. It was during the break of the dawn that she realized just a few meters away was a cave entrance. Cursing her luck, she had entered the cave only to rest but her plan changed the moment she saw Adrianna sleeping. She attacked her in her sleep, but things were working out.

Lile had run over the plateau and nearing the edge, when she heard a familiar roar. She was only twenty feet away from the edge. Scared, she looked back while running, and found that Adrianna was running towards her followed by the Yeti. Getting exasperated by the chase, Lile suddenly pointed her wand towards the ground a little further away and chanted, "Vrakhas Azadea!" Her wand emitted large amount of energy and hit the white ground some ten feet in front of her. The ground immediately cracked up and a gorge was created between her and Adrianna. Adrianna stopped there and to Lile's surprise the Yeti came and stood next to her. He didn't attack her! He came and stood right next to her! Without giving it much thought, she ran towards the edge. 

Adrianna saw the gorge widening to almost ten feet. Suddenly, before she would use her magic to cross the gorge, she was lifted in the air. The Yeti had lifted her in the air, made her sit on his shoulder and crossed the gorge in one small jump. 

Lile had run to the edge but to her horror, she found that the other side of the plateau was a vertical fall. There was no slope.
