I use all my strength to push out all of the power I can. This is what I’ve been training for my whole life.

The fire overpowers and I think I’m gonna win, until water comes back.

“Just give up,” I hear the voice that I have been training against my whole life against.

“Ha, you first,” I start walking sideways in the big circle and spat out a bit of fire towards him.

I heard him hiss. Then laugh.

“Alright,” he said putting his hands down which ends the strain against my fire. He steps aside quickly. “I forfeit,”

“What?” I choose not to give into hope. I of my hands down as well putting out the stream of fire.

“I forfeit, you win,” he said with a sigh. The mist from our battle raining down on us. I hit him with a confused look.

His hands were shaking. I have no idea what I did to make him this nervous.

“Join me, you being the princess of fire, me being the prince of water. We would be unstoppable, join me Elizabeth,”

I laugh out loud.

He shoots me a glare.

“You’re serious,” I say with laughter still in my voice, out of all the ways this battle was supposed to end, this was not on my mind.

“I am assuming that is a no, well I thought might as well give it a chance,”

“Yes,” I say shocked with myself. He stared at me shocked as well.

We stare at each other.

All of our lives we have been fighting, he would win some, I would win others.

I hate to admit it but we are the most powerful together.

“For political reasons,” I say quickly.

“For political reasons,” he said grinning.
