A man was sitting in a dark cell; it most likely had an arm here and a leg in there but too dark to tell. It was musty, wet, and just plain scary, the man had a shirt so ripped it might have covered only a little less to take it off, he had hair that was once brown that was well past his shoulders. He had a needle that he was about to press into his throat to take himself from his misery but a part of the ceiling opened up that was truly iron, the light from above pained his eyes, they were at the point of watering, the beam showed that there was a finger on his blood stained bed.

"You don’* want to miss out on today’s fun do ya? Huh, Little-Piece-of-Nothingness?" a cruel voice said above the man. The man hissed like a cat and tried to hide in the corner, placing the leg in front of his face as a shield from the blows from ‘The Above’ and cowered. A whip lashed out at him and he screeched in pain, the spiky tip slashing and ripping his flesh. Three large boned men jumped in and grabbed the man. The man was surprisingly strong for such a thin framed thing. He kicked one man between the legs and then kicked the man’s face as he bent down. He then charged up and punched the man in the face, over and over again. The prisoner was pulled off by the other men and was then taken up out of the pit.

The group left the body and they went down through a torch lit path. They turned right at an intersection and they continued. After a minute of walking, for the man tried getting away many times, they got to a large building from which metal clashing on metal could be heard. There was many people cheering and yelling about the commotion.

There were three black knights at one of the entrances, over it a sign read:

Faronan, h'daske jehdagah.

Meaning: ‘gladiator entrance’. One of the knights took the man and he was taken into the arena. He was given a body armor of leather, a skirt of iron and a helm of bronze. He changed into them and continued on. He went to the next stop and was given an iron spear, a wooden shield and a steel sword. He went on to the next stop, which was the last. They stood before the black gate and watched the fight going on, there was three fighters left and they all wanted to be declared winner. They continued fighting. One warrior went down, his blood flying through the air and glistening on the killer’s sword. The last two charged at each other, the one whose back was faced towards them was a woman and the other was a man. The man charged and lunged at his opponent, he tripped and fell, the woman seized her chance and grabbed her sword by the blade and threw it, the throw was true and stuck his heart and had slain him instantly. The woman drew her sword from the corpse and raised it to the air. A much smaller gate opened and she went in that way.

‘Hello? Were you listening to me?’ a woman asked him. He shook his head and she said, ‘my name is Therama. What’s yours?’

‘My name is Farador; I was prince of a far off land that was destroyed by these devils. They captured a few others and I. That woman was and is my betrothed and I will not let anyone get in my way of seeing her again.’ The gate opened and the crowd of prisoners stepped out. The fight was on in five seconds!

Good news: my fever is gone and I can do more stuff now.


Bad news: my evil nemasis, Schoolwork, and its sidekick, Notabletogetonthecomputer, are keeping me from writing.
