The trolls roared with pleasure as Saren was dealt the blow by the club. They jeered at him as he rose to his feet, but he tuned them out. The only thing he was concerned with was the monster ahead of him.

"Want more, human?" jeered Dad. He raised his club and struck, but Saren dodged. Saren could only win this without prayer if he fought smart. Then, he got an idea. Saren lashed out with his whip, but it only hit Dad's knee. Dad laughed at the pathetic strike and attacked, but Saren evaded yet again.

Saren continued to hit at Dad's knees and dodge the club. The trolls began to get tired of the fight. "Kill human, Dad!" one of the spectators shouted. Frustrated, Dad launched himself at Saren.

That was his mistake. Saren dodged and hit a lethal blow at Dad's knees. Dad collapsed onto the ground, and Saren lept on him, attacking ferociously and mercilessly. The whip left bloody gashes all over Dad, until Dad bellowed, "I give up! No hurt Dad! Human win!"

Saren got off the fallen troll and was led away by the guard. The crowd was demanding he be killed for what he did to Dad, but the guards simply took him back to the cells and Kaisen.

When the two were once again alone in the cells, Kaisen was stunned when Saren told him about what had occurred in the arena. "I can't believe it! We're supposed to fight for their amusement!"

"I just shudder to think what will happen when they take you. You couldn't take those trolls."

The troll guard returned. "You next," he growled at Kaisen.

"No!" Saren yelled.

"He must fight. Takgens waits." The guard unlocked Kaisen's cell and stood waiting on him. Kaisen followed him out of the cell and to the stone doors that led to the arena fearfully, afraid of what waited beyond the stone doors.

The stone doors swung open and Kaisen walked into the arena. The sun was so bright because he had been underground for so long. He saw the rows of spectators that were still angry at the outcome of Saren's fight. In the middle of the arena, Kaisen saw a large troll that was wearing rock armor and carried a granite maul. Kaisen shuddered to think what that maul could do to his internal organs.

"Now, Takgens fight other puny human!" called out the announcer. The crowd was calling for Takgens to tear Kaisen apart as revenge for Dad, and Kaisen was becoming increasingly scared by the minute.

"Begin!" Takgens moved in and swung wildly at Kaisen. Kaisen rolled aside to dodge. He had no plan, no idea of any way of escaping the arena alive. Then, he remembered the dragon egg, and all the people who were counting on him to survive. He had to come up with a way of stopping this troll.

Kaisen removed some runes from his pouch and hurled a fire bolt at Takgens. The spell exploded on his chest, but he seemed unaffected by the attack. That was not good. Fire bolt was Kaisen's strongest attack. Now, Takgens towered over Kaisen, Kaisen's best spell deemed worthless.

Takgens thrust his maul into Kaisen, but Kaisen was too small and quick to be hit by the slow maul. Kaisen was just stalling, delaying an inevitable death. Takgens was too powerful. The dragon egg was going to die here, and it would be all Kaisen's fault.

Then, as he thought of the dragon egg, he formulated a plan. The man that cursed the egg said that it had magic it used to protect itself. If he could use that magic, he might have a chance. Kaisen removed the dragon egg from his pocket and hurled it at Takgens.

The egg collided with Takgens' skull, but it did nothing except give the troll a headache. Takgens looked down at the egg intently. Then, realizing it hurt him, he smashed it with his maul. The maul hit the shell and rebounded off, for the egg was too strong. The troll suddenly, however, started to stagger. The egg was draining the heat from his body, leaving him in pain from the cold.

"What magic this is?" he wailed as his teeth chattered. He roared and ran at Kaisen, but Kaisen slipped between his legs and picked up the dragon egg. He felt its cooling effects instantly, but not for long. He threw it hard at the back of the troll's head.
