Bella walked through the forest, enjoying the night breeze rustling through the leaves. It's a pity the battle isn't here, she thought, looking around at the trees. This forest is lovely. Bella pulled out her invitation and looked at it. A two on two battle on the beach of Cape Schavare. She read aloud to herself. "Your partner will have black hair and..." she paused, and stared at the slip of paper. "...wings?" She blinked. "Right, well, I guess I won't have any trouble knowing who I'm fighting with."

Bella noticed the trees were beginning to thin, and slipped the invitation back into her pack. Don't wanna be caught off guard, she thought, stepping out of the trees. She looked across the cape to where two fighters were exiting the forest. "No wings..." she mumbled. "Wonder where my partner is?" Just then she felt a hand on her shoulder.

Bella nearly jumped out of her skin, and whipped around to see a winged man wearing a white kimono. So much for not being caught off guard...

“Good evening, milady. Are you ready for the trials that await us?”

Bella blinked for a moment, still not quite sure how to react to someone with wings. After a moment, she grinned. "You bet I am." She looked across the beach, and saw their opponents had gotten much closer. The moonlight shone on them enough so that they could be clearly seen. One was a guy with curly black hair; he already had his sword and shield out in his hands. The other was a young woman wearing a dazzling lavender kimono. Bella blinked in surprise once more. Who would've thought... she thought to herself with a grin. She noticed how determined her opponents' faces looked, and looked back to the winged man beside her. "It looks like our opponents are ready as well," she said. Bella walked out to meet their opponents, her partner beside her.

OoC: Okay... Mine's short too. >.> It looked a lot longer in the textbox. XD And also, Safer, I know that Tokumaru's an angel, but Bella wouldn't know that, so that's why I referred to him as a "winged man". ~_^
