Half way through my run I noticed a pastry shop, stopping to enjoy the smell I decided it would be a crime against humanity not to stop in and get something to eat. As I jogged in my Mark went from it's bright gold color to a less brilliant gold, it was still enough to catch the attention of almost everyone on the store. They stared at the "Legendary Leo" as I walked up to the counter.

"I'll take two of your best donuts please!"
It was clear they were stunned, five miles from the tournament area they weren't expecting any big competitors to visit them. The girl behind the counter stammered for a second before getting herself together.
"Uh..yes, one minute sir." She grabbed a tissue paper and a plastic bag and quickly put two beautifully glazed donuts into the bag. She typed some numbers into her cash register and came out with a total of two seventy five. I paid her, then took a huge bite out of one of them.
"OMG! These are the best donuts I've eaten, ever!" The excitement on her face was obvious, perhaps she was a fan of mine. Not to be rude I grabbed a piece of paper and a pen and quickly signed it for her. "Keep this to yourself, I don't want work getting out I gave out my signature. If that happens soon everyone in town will be swarming me for one. See you tomorrow..."I looked at her name tag. "...Aurora."
I shot a wave in her direction then ran out the door eating my second donut. As I turned towards the hotel I saw her slip the piece of paper into her front pocket then act as if nothing ever happened; the entire way back I couldn't help but think about the bear claws I saw in there; those would be my next targets tomorrow. But for now I needed to crank out a few more exercises then get some shut eye.

As I finished my third plate of pasta I looked to the clock and realized I was late for my daily run. I stood up, put my notebook back in my pocket then headed up to my room to change into better clothes to run. The hotel was much more crowded now, people from all over were coming to this city to either fight in the championship or watch; soon there would be bets, and it would stop being fun for everyone, everyone except me at least.

I finally got to my room after too many challenges to count, I quickly changed clothing; my sleeveless shirt clearly showing my Astral Mark. It blazened gold against my tan skin as I walked into the sun, people who were in a hurry turned their heads to see what was reflecting so much light into their eyes. Putting the cameras that were now snapping pictures of me out of my mind I started my run after a few quick stretches.

"I think I'll do ten miles today. Yup that sounds good."

if anyone needs leo, he'll be eating some food, as always

I follow him into the elevator chewing on my sandwich, not as good as the one's my mom makes; not by a long shot. I lean in the corner of the elevator and try not to nod off to sleep. Then I start to loudly hum the music to myself, what can I say, it's catchy...and I kinda like it. I catch myself staring at the chief, I'm half tempted to ask if he's really the Golden Hammer, but I don't want him to think I'm just another one of his countless fans, I'm not that desperate, yet.

Krapfen:
The ground ripped out from under him as he heard the cow scream out the name of it's Power Attack. A few seconds later everything went black.

Leo:
I woke up and looked around, one more loss I thought; thankfully this wasn't a ranked fight. I walked towards Daylin, I always congratulat the winner, keeps it from getting too serious.
"Nice fight, guess I'll have to keep my distance from now on, won't I?" I held my hand out for a hand shake.

Krapfen:
The barrier cracked under the pressure, but held. The force from the impact threw off his calculations causing his attack to miss it's mark by a few inches. He quickly backed off from a heavy barrage of attacks as the cow spun around with it's totem. Again he froze the air in the battle field and used the time to begin charging his power attack, when the time was right he'd shoot the cow in the face with it.

Faking a second attack he flew straight into the air firing bolts of lighting ether at the cow as he gained altitude. As he reached the peak of his climb he put himself into a nose dive and sped toward the target as break neck speeds, all the while he could feel the ether building up inside of him...

Krapfen:
The beast emerged and began to climb nearby tree, after sidestepping some residual fire from the attack. Krapfen took careful aim as the air around him began to grow heavy with highly charged Electric Ether; moments later a powerful bolt flew from the cloud and slammed into the tree. He quickly followed it up with multiple Flare Blasts, as soon as the initial barrage was finished he charged towards the overgrown cow in the tree, Krapfen wanted a quick and decisive fight... As he grew closer to the tree he raised the sharpened spines on his arms preparing for a counter attack.
