turned to Ash and gripped his friend’s shoulder extra hard.
    “Hey buddy, you wouldn’t happen to know why my dad and Nora showed up here today, would you now?”
    Ash swatted his buddy’s clenched hand off him. “Ow! Okay, I admit… I may have let slip during our last weapons training sesh that we were planning on taking part in the tournament. But I didn’t think they’d really come watch!”
    By now Amos had spotted the boys and was waving at them. He prodded his blind daughter, Nora, letting her know he saw them. There was no escaping them now.
    “I don’t want them knowing about my various dealings and debts with Marni, okay?” Aura looked like he was going to start sweating. “That topic’s taboo, okay?”
    “Relax, we’ll find other topics,” Ash assured him.
    The boys climbed the steps up into the audience seating as people slowly filled the stands. The game proved popular among young and old alike, devils of all ages made up the crowd.
    “Amos!” said Ash, pretending to be surprised to see his weapons instructor standing there smiling and waving at him. Aura’s twin sister Nora sat gripping her father’s arm. Nora was blind and depended on her father to lead her around.
    “Dad, sis,” said Aura, faking a smile. “What’s up? What are you guys doing here?”
    “Hello boys, great to see you both! We’re so glad Ash invited us.”
    “Oh he did , did he?” Aura glared at Ash.
    “ Invited is such strong language,” Ash replied with a shrug. “I think informed is the more accurate phrasing.”
    Amos was in a good mood and didn’t pick up on his son’s odd behavior. “Did you hear the big news? I was at the castle this morning and happened to overhear The Royal Advisor telling some of his staff. It seems the Summer Soulstice Festival is nearly upon us! Isn’t that good news?”
    Nora scowled. “Dad, quit gabbing! No one cares about current events or Soulstices. Aura, are you going to give me Soul Sight or what?”
    Amos took a more serious tone. “That’s right. Quit being lazy and do the thing!” he said, pushing his son’s shoulder to egg him on.
    “Oh yeah, sorry Nora,” Aura said. He held up his right hand, removed the metal gauntlet he wore all the time to hide his death touching hand. Aura concentrated a little bit of his soul power into the hand and the deep blue electricity jolted off it. “ Soul sight !” With a gentle fist bump against his sister’s face, the power leapt off Aura’s hand and into Nora’s hollowed-out eye sockets.
    Nora opened her eyelids. Instead of the usual hollowness, there was a swirling spherical vortex of electrical soul power borrowed from her brother. Aura called this trick Soul Sight, and it allowed his sister to see again.
    Sort of.
    Soul Sight made people’s inner soul power visible. Aura used it to locate enemies and gauge how strong their souls are, but Nora used the technique just to see something . She could make out broad, ghostly images of the souls that surrounded her. Devil souls came in all colors, and even though the shapes didn’t look much like actual people Nora still felt some comfort at knowing she wasn’t alone. It made her feel like she was living in a beautiful painting. Everywhere she looked she saw color moving, swirling, growing, and shrinking as people around her moved casually.
    Much better than the eternal darkness she was used to, that’s for sure.
    Her face lit up and Nora smiled. “Thanks bro,” she said, letting go of her father’s arm. Nora was a pretty girl, which was kind of weird to think about since she was basically a female version of Aura. The two were twin siblings, after all.
    “It’s no problem sis, I got your back,” Aura said, giving his sister a thumbs up. A small trickle of blood flowed from his mouth and his legs trembled.
    “You okay, Aura?” asked Ash.
    “I’m fine!” said shot back, but it was too late. Nora became suspicious.
    “What is it this time?” she asked with her arms
