==Plot summary==
The harsh desert world of Bara Magna. In scattered villages, Agori deal with the daily struggle to survive. When villages have a dispute, they settle it with battles between Glatorian fighters in their arenas. Once a year, Glatorian from all over Bara Magna gather together, to battle for the right to be called champion. They come here--Arena Magna in the city of Atero--to compete, to talk, to share news and new battle tactics. But this year, some who come won’t ever leave again. A practice match before the tournament begins...
Morning in Atero, and the competition begins.
Among the Agori watching the action: Raanu, leader of Vulcanus; Berix, scavenger from Tajun; and Metus, Glatorian trainer from Iconox.
“It’s the Skrall--an army of them!”
Faced with a horde of Skrall on the march, most Agori would freeze in panic. But Raanu is a leader, and knows what he must do. Tarix is a leader, too. He doesn’t waste time worrying why the Skrall have suddenly decided to attack--he acts.
The time for talk has passed... and the time for battle has arrived. Have you ever tried to stand your ground against a hurricane? Then you know how the Glatorian in Atero feel today. Risking his own life, Raanu helps the people of his and other villages to escape.
For every Skrall warrior they stop, half a dozen more take his place. His good deed may be his last.
Gresh would answer, but as he scans the arena, he sees the Skrall might he right.
“Go,” says Tarix, sadly. “I’ll get Raanu and the others out. We’ll meet in the canyon. It’s... over.”
They run, knowing that much more than Atero’s Arena Magna has been destroyed today. And worse is sure to come.
