Harold didn't give the creature any time to recover as he stretched both of his hands above his head with the palm facing the cloudy sky. A small fireball lit up above his hand as it got brighter and brighter until it turned completely blue. But the transition wasn't complete. He threw the fist-sized fireball toward the creature's head. Another tentacle shot from the back of the creature toward the fireball that was accelerating toward the creature. When it looked like the fireball and the tentacle would collide, suddenly the speed of the fireball doubled and directly hit the creature's glabella (the area between eyebrows). But the assault didn't end; the moment it made contact with the creature it started expanding until the creature was fully engulfed by the fire. The creature gave a shrill cry as it started thrashing around. Harold had to put up a spherical barrier around the creature, to stop the fire from spreading and burning down the surrounding trees.

With a short inspiration from my mom, I feel motivated.

Team Wild cats: Yes coach!!!

Sebastian: Yes, that looks excellent.

I remember everything.  I remember how my perfect life, would slowly spiral into a never-ending abyss of agony.  I remember how I lost what l loved.  I also remember the happy moments in my life.  The beautiful little pieces of a long-lost paradise. I also remember what my mother told me when I was a little girl; that I was her little goddess.  She told me that that I was the light of our family.  The families' world was centered on me, that I was their sun, while they revolved around me.  She also told me, that they (my family) would be with me forever.  She told me that they would stay with me to help and guide me with love.  But that was lie.  I remember one day, my mother told me that I would get a happily ever after.  Whether that was a lie or not I now know but didn't know in the past.  That was an eternity ago.
