Thread: Flames of War and Passion (Razgriz x Ironic)

Peering down on the floor, Kori didn't even bother to glance up, feeling too ashamed of herself. Her shackle strands tied up along with the person in front of her, looking something similar to a beefy Orc, not looking too happy or pleased with this tournament thing himself. Only one person will be standing after this battle, and that feeling shook her down to the very bone.... Only one ... Death was something that now Kori feared, and the worse part of it was how it was going to happen and when. I was all just a crazy mystery, and it was eating her from the inside out. Khrelan was chained behind her, and she could hear the huffing and puffing he made, still probably feeling the aftereffects of the cold Juian that consumed his body. He didn't deserve anything that harsh, she had to admit. As they continued to walk towards the tunnel that lead them to the open field of the bloodshed that has happened their for thousands of years, the roaring chant of Luimbians was heard, the sound intensifying as they continued to get closer. The light became brighter, her eyes stinging and wanting to close, shielding themselves from the now unfamiliar light. Already her feet ached from the lack of use due to being locked up in the cell for a week straight. She was weak, but if the weakness continued to take over, it would cause her to lose the battle, including her life, and that was the last thing she wanted to happen. Stepping foot on the fresh soil, it was now visible to see the Luimbians as the gathered amongst each other, similar to a stadium. They encircled them into the arena, making it impossible to escape. Looking down at her badge, she could only shake her head in denial, not wanting to go through with this. She should of just sucked it up and married Prince Tresdin, but instead she had to be the rebellious girl she was known to be. There was no sense in dreading the past now, because it was the future that mattered. The guards arranged the captives to stand in the middle of the arena, being shown to all. A screeching sound called everyone's attention high above, where Kori's mother and father would sit as they feasted their eyes on such the occasion. Kori would be sitting there with her parents too, with her new husband, but obviously those plans did not go through. Prince Tresdin along with his parents stood there, a smug look on their faces as Kori felt their eyes stare dead onto her. The crowed began to silent down, nothing but silent whispers was all to be heard, ready for what the King and Queen of Luimba was going to announce Behold, my fellow Luimbians and species who traveled far and wide to be apart of this glorious event, King Myand'r began to speak, pausing occasionally so everyone's focus would still linger on him, setting a hint of anticipation into the air. Today was suppose to be an even more glorious event... My daughter, former Princess Koriand'r and her new husband, Prince Tresdin would be sitting here, celebrating the circle of life amongst everyone. As you already know, this did not go to plan. The crowed roared in boo's, shouting and threatening the Princess below them. All eyes glared down at her, and she could feel the hate traveling towards her. Sickening. Why did he have to point her out like that? These games will be played in a course of six months. This will allow two opponents to battle out until one is victorious, allowing them to fight with the next, and so on and so fourth. I wish the best of luck to you all, and let the strongest of the galaxy win! A loud bell was sounded, declaring that the arena's have started, and that they should all prepare. Glancing towards her left, there Khrelan stood. Noticing the way his crisp face wrinkled up, she could tell that he was plainly not happy about this, and with his expression hate coursed his lava veins. I bet you just want to end me, huh? She muttered to him, keeping her head low as her knotted hair laid against her back, her skin covered in black dirtdust spots scattered everywhere. I don't blame you if you do. I would be better off anyway. Lifting her head up, she looked at Prince Tresdin again, a grin on his face as he waved nonchalantly at the situation, friendly and inviting How repugnant, she thought.
