That is when it hit me, why I could not find Suzie, it was not because she was not going to be watching me, but it was because she was going to be fighting with me. She entered from a door on the other side of the arena and came to stand by me.
"You ready?" she said with a smile as she took a battle stance next to me.
"Yeah, but, wait, how did you get here? I thought I was going alone on this one, why didn't you tell me?" I started asking her.
"Because, I thought you might try to stop me, so I rented a locker to store some of our stuff, stocked up on some items and learned a Cure spell for the tourney, but we do not have time to talk about everything else, sorry I did not tell you, but we have important things to do now, like win," she replied as she pulled out her dagger and got ready for the fight.
"Alright, but as soon as we get a break, you and I need to talk a little about trust and communication," I replied as I took my battle stance.
"READY, SET, FIGHT!"
And with that, the battle began
