Josh ran after Lydia to catch up with her and the two of them went into the heroes arena. There were people cheering and screaming, and there were about twenty people left in the arena. There was a girl standing off to the side, watching everyone fighting and Josh turned bright red. “She’s BEAUTIFUL,” he said, in awe. 

“Hmm?” Lydia looked where he was looking. “Yeah, I guess she is…” The girl standing on the side of the arena had soft brown hair and big blue eyes, and a heart shaped face. She looked sweet as an angel, and she had a microphone clutched in her hand. She had a light pink suspender skirt over top of a long sleeved white dress, and her wavy brown hair was pulled back with a pink headband. “I’m guessing a voice power, some kind of magical song?” 

“Why aren’t they fighting her?” Josh asked in a stadium whisper. 

“Would you fight her?” Lydia stadium whispered back. 

“No!” He looked genuinely offended. “I wouldn’t!” 

“Too damn bad we might have to,” and that was all Lydia would say, turning back to the arena. 

Lightning and fire and ice were flinging around the arena and the magical musician stood patiently, watching and waiting. Finally, the arena was down to two. A hero with a gigantic sword and spiky hair was walking around the ring, crowing and waving his sword. He stopped short when he saw the musical girl standing there, looking at him. 

He rushed at her, but she dodged, bringing her microphone to her mouth. She took a deep breath before a sound escaped her lips that brought the sword wielding hero to a stop. She launched into a song that rendered the entire arena silent, staring at her with awe, adoration… and for half of them, love. 

“That’s it, she’s perfect. I’m in love with her,” Josh muttered under his breath. Lydia punched him in the shoulder. 

“Shut up, she’s the enemy!” 

“I don’t care! Don’t tell me who to love!” 

“Get out of the arena!” She said, angrily, pointing at the door. “Wait for me outside.” 

The sword-fighter stared blankly at her, before taking a step back. He seemed stunned to a blank stare by the heroine’s music. Josh angrily stormed out of the arena, unhappily following Lydia’s orders.
