Chapter 5 Page 5 - Ampliō

Akilah dodged another one of his attacks by jumping backwards, still facing her opponent though. Akilah figure that she couldn't go on the defensive any longer, having her opponents fighting strategies she finally decided to go on the offensive and fight back.

“It’s true” Akilah spoke up “I did beat up those lousy good for nothing soldiers”

“He finally speaks” the man replied, “What happened tired of avoiding my attacks so you decided to now talk your way through it?” He said and slammed his fits against the palm of his hand “Well that’s not gonna work kid, the only way your leave this fight is through a body bag”

“I didn’t come here to fight. I came here to hand myself over in exchange for information” Akilah said not yielding from her stance.

“I don’t think you understand the predicament you’re in kid! You’re not in a situation to be making deal!” he said with the anger in his voice.

Akilah chuckled “No old man, I don’t think you understand the situation at hand” she said and looked at him. She could see the anger in his eyes but also the tiredness, she had sufficiently drained him of his energy “and now the finishing touches” she thought as she preferred herself for yet another attack.

However, this time instead of jumping away she crouched down, with the lower part of her back touching the ground and her one of her legs up and lifted, peppering for a kick. Right before her leg touched him Akilah whispered “Amplio”, a spell that amplifies any action or object the caster wishes, in this case Akilah used it to amplify the impact of her kick.

To Akilah’s delight the spell worked perfectly, as soon as her foot touched him the man flew several feet up in the air, before making a painful landing on his back. Akilah could feel the shift in atmosphere, moments ago everyone was watching the fight in delight, figuring it would have a obvious outcome. Now however the atmosphere is stiff everyone is looking at the fight in shock and terror seeing their leader get kicked and beaten to the ground by a kid half his size.

“So do you believe me now” Akilah said while stretching out her leg “or do you need more convincing” she said but did not allow him to answer before she pounced on him. As he had had the air knocked out of him, he has not yet regained enough energy to get up which made this the best time to hit him again. Akilah jumped towards him landing with one foot on his stomach, knowing that this could have lethal consequences Akilah decided to town down the amplification of her attack, making it a painful but not deadly attack.

As soon as she made contact with him, he choked up blood and that’s when she knew that she had played around enough with him, now it was time for business.

She knelt down one leg down in order to get close to his ear and whispered “I told you old man, I’m you guy. Now unless you want to visit deaths door, I suggest you let that grandpa go and we have nice chat instead”
