The Prophecy Of The Four Kings

Chapter 28

A month Later

Aster, Levant and Polaris, they laid on the ground staring at the sky, all of them drenched in sweat, yumi walked up towards them, she was wearing a black tank top and a navy blue cargo pants, with military type boots, her hair undone and messy,

"just because you guys are laying on your back, exhausted doesn't mean we are finished, I'll admit that you guys have gotten way better but, the three of together can barely stop me while I'm going all out, and honestly you guys can't even do that for too long", yumi complained, she stared at the three boys with a disappointed look on her face,

Levant was the first to get up, struggling to his feet, he raised both of his arms out in front of him, both of his guns flying pass yumi's head and into his hands,

"oh, as expected of the one blessed with fire, you've got some serious fight in you", yumi complemented Levant, who could barely stand,

Yumi dropped her hips, and raised noth her fists in front of her,she readied herself for the fight to resume,

"guys get up, we've been getting our asses kicked by a girl that's half our size for a month now", he urged as he pointed both guns at yumi,

Aster now on his feet, though barely, had summoned his hammer, from where it had been dropped, his body covered in dust and bruises, with several cuts all around his body,

" well its not our fault that she is so adept at using her power, we know it's to deal with her eyes, my best guess is that it does two things", aster said to levant,

"oh so you've figured it out, not that I'm surprised, you've been the one most focused on it", yumi stated, a small but pleasant smile came across her face, though it quickly faded,

"Also aster i told you stop calling it a 'power', the actual term is blessing, we went over this, the terms you guys use aren't wrong but they have correct names, you guys are what we call 'blessed', and I'm a naturally blessed or a natural for short", yumi explained sounding overly annoyed,

" yeah yeah we get it", aster answered,

"so tell me what is it that you've figured out", Levant chimed in,

"the two 'blessings' her eyes have are one, she see's and processes at about seven or eight times what we normally can, and she can predict about the same number of possible actions we are going to take", Aster quickly explained to Levant,

"no wonder she seemed to have the answer for anything we threw at her", Levant remarked,

"well color me impressed, you were close, but it's closer to ten times the normal speed, and if I really push it to my limit double that", Yumi said correcting aster,

"well it doesn't matter now, this is the last day of training because tomorrow we are heading for the shadow continent", yumi told the boys,

Polaris, got up from off of the ground, his expression was pained, he took up his sword from in front of him, he rose the blade in front of his face, he inhaled deeply, then slowly he exhaled,

in an instant he disappeared, reappearing in front of yumi about to strike, this had caught her off guard because she did not think that any of them had enough energy to attack at that kind of speed, however she still managed to evade the attack, Polaris' blade swung only hitting air, but he wasn't finished, the area around his right leg turned chilly and frost started to form over the ground, a stream of ice flowed from the ground sprouting up towards yumi, but yet again she managed to dodge the attack, she landed on top of the ice grinning at a very annoyed Polaris,

"i couldn't imagine being such a prideful person, yet losing to someone of a much smaller stature, really that must be such a blow to your ego, or could it be that its because I'm a girl", yumi said, poking fun at Polaris,
