"Kill? Seriously?" Lara swallowed, looking to Ella for confirmation
before calling out "You're stronger than that Fliss! Stop holding
back!" Ella would probably be the only person who recognised from just
a touch that Lara was using her magic right now for all that the
circle was warded. But that wasn't where Lara's magic was helping.
Fliss relaxed, her eyes closing, and her opponent twisted slightly,
setting up the neck breaker with a vicious smile on his face, and Lara
whistled. She'd believed Ella, but it was one thing to believe her
girlfriend and another to see it for herself.
But Lara could see what few others could, and had slightly untangled
the pack's energy, allowing Fliss to draw more energy into herself,
empowering herself. And relaxed muscles were, of course stronger than
tense ones.
With a grunt Fliss forced herself to her knees then her feet, then
ducked and twisted, before pushing him through the air. A roar went up
when he landed out of the circle.
"And the winner, by a ring out, Felicity."
The only people who looked unhappy with that were the Molehills and
Felicity herself as she trudged out of the ring. She returned Lara's
enthusiastic hug with "That win felt like cheating."
It wasn't often Lara was short of words, but she was here.
