Watching the blood sport

"Nothing, I was coming to see if you were ready to witness the battle" Marcus said. "Lots of people are looking forward to seeing Grom again" Marcus finished. Nothing was precisely wrong, just something was on his mind. Nothing that needed to be worried about at this time But closer to when they actually had a war plan for trying to take down Somber'Lai.

"Of course I will be coming..Just had a few things to write down before I came." Kilvas looked at his paper for a second "But...I can get get back to it later I presume." Walking over to his desk Kilvas put his pen down and started walking out of the door, He just wanted to sit down and enjoy the show it seemed.

"The sooner the better" Marcus said, "Grom is a bit of a handful for some of the jail keepers." Marcus began to walk down the long hallway towards the arena, he emerged into the glistening sunlight, it truly was a good day for battle. He amplified his voice using his magic to carry his wind along the air.

"Guards, prisoners, are you ready to see another man fight for freedom? Another man battle the odds? Another man face our fierce some, Grom?" Marcus paused as the crowd cheer. "Let as bring out our fighters" There was a crash as a wall bust down, through the dust emerged Grom, he was large probably 7 feet and about 3 feet wide. He wore nothing but badly torn jeans and chains around his wrist ankles and neck. Emerging on the other side of the arena was a man, fit, strong looking only about 6 feet tall and 2 feet wide. He would definitely make for a good match up. "Neither fighter will be receiving any weapons or help. Victory belongs to the last man standing, on General Forain's orders the battle shall Commence"

Marcus disappeared into the wind appearing up in the stand where Kilvas would be approaching at anytime.

Kilvas hands went down, the chains were release and Grom thrusted forward at the prisoner with great force. With a massive roar Grom sent a punch forward the man waited and at the last second moved, Grom unable to stop slammed into the wall in front of him. There was a loud crash and a roar of pain. The man was obviously being smart, he continued to use Grom beserker strategy against him. The arena began to look like a mess. Grom was getting tired and soon stopped charging and swinging wildly meanwhile the prison stood tall still. "This man might actually beat Grom at this rate..."

Kilvas seemed unphased while he sat down in his chair to watch the fight while everyone else watching was starting to boo Kilvas in his mind was only still watching."You seem to think too lightly...I did not choose Grom for this for him to drop like a fly expect more then just this Marcus." Kilvas spoke like he normally did slowly just huncing forward. "If he does fall i would be more worried about everyone else's reaction and what will happend afterwards."

Marcus continued to watch, "I think the issue is that Grom is too simple minded and this prisoner of war must have been a tactician from the rebels." Marcus was still confused though, with Grom being simple minded there should be no pattern for this man to counter, so how was he moving around Grom so easily. "Well if this man would actually fight back then maybe the crowd would be a little happier because atleast then they are getting a good fight.."

As Marcus was finishing his sentence then was another loud smash but this one landed behind Marcus and Kilvas. The man had attempted to fight back finally thinking Grom was tired as soon as the ma hit Groms stone skin Grom had grabbed him and chucked him across the arena. And if they turned around no doubt would they see a man embedded in the wall. Bloody and broken. "Such a shame. He might have won if he waited longer." Marcus said watching Grom collapse from exhuastion. "Guards, get Grom...and this man"

Marcus nodded taking care of the clean up job eventually Marcus decided since he had time too spare that he would start walking back to Darkness Falls. Since there was till the matter of the meeting which he had to attend too.

Apparently Monica had managed to capture Raizo, this was an impressive feat, not because she was a women, but because Raizo was a dragon tamer. Something seemed fishy to Marcus and he would find out what made him so suspicious.
