I stood at the edge of the stream, holding the large enchanted ball in my hands while staring at my Beastmen.
"Okay, listen carefully because I'm only explaining this once."
They all stared at me, Thyrian and Azrael looking prideful while Veyra and Ryker looked playful.
"I'm dividing you into two teams. A large enchanted ball will float in the middle of the stream, and your job is simple—steal it from the other team."
I lifted the ball slightly.
"When I throw this into the water, both teams race to grab it. Whoever gets the ball can swim away, dodge, splash, or block the other team from getting it."
Ryker's fox ears immediately perked up.
"Can I bite them?"
"No."
"Can I tackle them?" Azrael asked.
"Yes."
"Can I—"
"No biting!" I said, and Ryker pouted. I rolled my eyes.
