The next day came almost too soon. The night had been quiet with only a bit of clamor that had happened closer to midnight when Klarian had opened up for about three hours for business. Upon waking, everyone felt as refreshed as a daisy after a gentle shower. Everyone shared in a filling breakfast for free that consisted of several slices of toast with an egg in the middle, two plates of bacon, a plate of mini sausages, a bowl of mixed fruits, veggies and berries, and their choice of drink being milk, water, orange juice or a dark mixture resembling coffee.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡylvQKGbjr2

After eating they made their way to the battle grounds, not having any incidents on the way there from the still sleeping towns people. When they arrived, the hardened ground had been cleared of obstacles except for a few rocks. There were ten stone columns in a wide circle. Outside this circle stands five stone seats, similar to bleachers one might see in a gymnasium. The group approached and spread out to look around the seemingly barren area of vegetation. "This is a pretty roomy setup." Ivan commented as he stepped inside the wall-less circle.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Q161HfUiS
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDkMjr0a0v5
Klarian smirked with a small shrug. "Well of course it is. Gotta have room for full grown dragons and other large beasts to move around." He explained with a helpfulness to his tone as he walked with Ivan.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYpDTseVjk0
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAP2XfnAgok
"Oh," Ivan looked to Klarian as Amber walked by them. "So all participants take part because they want to?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTZfAS0a5PF
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOfMIjiofm
"Given the lack of walls to keep anyone from running, that would make sense. Why else have an arena for battle without walls if you didn't ask people if they wanted to join in?" Amber questioned and Ivan nodded.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrBWsLRz5Cg
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKE34VmKhDh
Klarian chuckled as Amber then began to hum a tune that told many tales of war between humans and dragons for a metal throne of swords. "Something like that, one could say." He took a step forwards and folded his arms as he looked around then up at the brightening sky. While Amber was walking around humming her tune, Ivan noticed faint markings on one of the pillars so made his way over to where Faerthurin was to see if there was anything similar.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDGNPCLP1yv
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9K3PsjYxkO
During this, Kross admired one of the columns carvings while Jaylen caught a few more winks of sleep's in his messy hair. "Must have had a steady hand and put in a lot of time." He quietly said to himself before stretching and walking over to another one of the columns. Oin rubbed his chin as he surveyed the area. "Hmm...something feels off." He eyed one of the columns then looked to Jeminya who oddly Shiloh had decided to keep company currently. She ran her hand over the column with her face twisted in pondering. "You sense something off as well?" the dwarf asked as he made his way over to her.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQgeR12SYF2
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡinXoLsRfLN
Jeminya nodded. "Yes, but I'm not sure what exactly. There is something here so I think keeping our guard up is wise." She kept her voice quiet while glancing over to a relaxed Klarian.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvFGYtAyORt
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtL1q13ttNK
"Agreed. There's something odd about these stones but I can't quite place what."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ380YHoRO4h
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOId3H7o5D
On the other side of the battle grounds, Ivan was checking out a column as Faerthurin was a couple pillars away with Lucid hopping about the top of the several foot tall pieces of stonework. Ivan circled the stone structure as his face twisted in curiosity. "Hmm this is unique." He eyed and touched the carvings as he stepped around the column again to see that it did circle around. He went to the one to his right and also checked it. "Same carvings..." he looked to the dark elf that was now a column away to his right. "Hey Rin, can you tell me if these are magical?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa6mbZCyLzU
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzUdcl9l3I
"Huh?" Faerthurin looked and made her way over to Ivan with Lucid following and looking down on them, his head twisting left and right. "Now what are you asking about magic?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9N292YRIA3
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡek6FVS9459
"These marks right here." He pointed out the series of carvings which were gibberish to him.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEyGlP3D2VG
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy9mRod1hVN
Faerthurin's eyes widened as she eyed the marks over. How in the heck did I miss those? she wondered as she made her way around the column to see what Ivan had before swiftly making her way back to the pillar she had previously been boredly looking over. They match... she looked over to the left, right and behind her at the surrounding columns. I bet they also having matching symbols.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7yk39wxq6D
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSek3uvrzVL
"So are they used in magic?" Ivan inquired after a minute of silence.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA3AvcSq6xb
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHqRYyYIuII
She looked the carvings over closer and nodded. "Yes, they are used in containment spells and enchantments to hold things in." She released a breath and folded her arms as she looked up the tall pillar. "There is a magic inside this one and likely the others as well, given how they share the same markings." She looked around and then to Ivan. "Which explains the lack of walls if this magic is indeed containment."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ySSoibBaK
Around one of the seating structures to the east walked Jalerom and Rose, checking out the way it appeared to be carved mostly out of stone with some wood used for some of the sitting area's. "How long do you think it took them to carve these?" the half elf inquired with a gaze to the party then to Rose when she spoke up.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz02Ycedkp
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCH68H1rDs
"Probably quite a bit of time. Say maybe a few days even with magic for all of them together." Rose put her hands behind her head as she spoke and looked up while turning her head to look towards a different set of seats. "Say...does any of this seem...a little off to you?" she questioned slowly before setting her sights on Jalerom.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcAhZ8zSJjU
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNjRxkNOqMJ
He shrugged, "not really or well, maybe a little but not too much. I mean, this is another race's land after all."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7G4mBTcrWz
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjaDQRihJNT
"But why have an arena or area for battle without any solid walls? That puts the spectators at risk."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWhqIYaiXBG
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡedAFGAvOn2
"Maybe..." Jalerom pondered as he folded his arms and turned his head down some. "...Perhaps they know some kind of shield spells that are maintainable for the length of a standard fight?" he looked up to meet her kind orbs. "Maybe there's magic in place like what was on those collars back in the Directian dungeons."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcnPYfYqQxD
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6oYuOOqRat
Rose sighed and lowered her arms. "Do you think they are still going to try enslaving us?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ79jsTiMK0B
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡalXn6e4OPj
The rogue shook his head. "I don't think so." He lifted his arms over his head and stretched. "So long as negotiations don't fall through, we should be perfectly safe and if things come to worse...we will just fight our way out as we run."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWcdoWIF6PF
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVJSonsdCP2
Moments later, loud footfalls echoed and the ground trembled lightly before gradually growing stronger. As the one responsible neared closer, Jaylen hissed which drew curiosity from Kross as Jalerom, Faerthurin, Oin and Lucid looked towards the north west. "And I think we are about to maybe meet the owner." Jalerom commented. This brought Rose to look at him before following his line of sight, waiting anxiously.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Qt93Rgyay
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VqRoENdOT
Jeminya and Ivan were the next to look over. "Is this guy a giant?" Ivan quietly asked as he positioned his footing to stay up as the ground shook again.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ68yJ0yn7Wo
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjHwN5b5N5H
"Doubtful," Jeminya answered as she folded her arms and felt a nuzzle at her right by Starjay, making her by habit to gently stroke his nose with her left hand. "Given how we've mainly only seen reptile type creatures, I don't think we'll run into giants. There aren't even any giant slaves after all."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGB3s63QQhX
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡttjE92HRoq
Rose's eyes widened as the owner neared closer. "What a magnificent dragon but...how did he get one of those?" she whispered aloud to herself.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkOlyaeTYQD
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1XemAMJA1L
Jalerom turned his head towards her. "What was that? Do you know about black dragons?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZlogyfqLs
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrbkrIyD5S
She nodded with her eyes remaining on the beast. "They are beasts that enjoy their solitude and being alone except during mating season. Their breath weapons are unlike any others."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93rf3NFvl
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tufKd2Zlh
"What is their breath weapon?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4tA7CTeUvG
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyfQyO6Kd3e
"...I think I recall it being able to paralyze a target caught in their smoke." She replied flatly as her gaze then shifted to its rider.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe8tzER8s9f
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbhiwTkVW4
Kross, Amber, Jaylen and Shiloh were the last to finally spy the new person. On the black dragon's back was an armored man, dressed somewhat in the style of a knight or general of an army. On his back flexed out wings of a dragon. His feet were not clad in armored boots but more the shinguard's came down over top of his scaled feet. The man, after the dragon stopped, straightened his back and his yellow scales could be seen on the tops of his feet, clawed hands, neck and around his face. His slit yellow eyes scrutinized the mixed group spread out. "Hmm...this is an interesting mix of creatures, now isn't it?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ssje5MxAW
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMKAhq6gMJC
Klarian stepped forwards unfraid of the man. "Good morning, Devion." He came to a stop before giving a polite, yet sweeping, bow. "How are you this fine morning?" he inquired with a tone dripping with charm as he rose from the bow and flashed the armored dragon a grin.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmOBjJ8WZHj
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6DvpIaGjzz
Devion dismounted as the dragon sat down. "I'm doing fine...half-breed." He flapped his wings a bit before landing as carefully as his words had been spoken. "Let's cut to the point, Klarian. How do you plan on any of these people getting your collateral freed from my hold?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRlIrh9A1rN
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQL5VtAe94m
Klarian opened his mouth to speak. "Excuse me, Devion was it?" he closed his mouth and looked to an approaching Kross. He watched the ranger with confusion. "We have come to ask you how exactly these battle grounds operate." Kross stated while motioning around the area, now standing beside Klarian. "We would also like to make a deal with you to settle dear Klarian's debt."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcQ8JwD77lL
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxMDeP8nlG6
Devion stayed silent with his eyes set on the saurian. "...How much do you wish to settle it for?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡALwnwTBF5y
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFBWu8EPCN
Kross gave a confident smirk. "Down to zero and to have his brother set free."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA8ZWtm3bm1
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI9EJkrT4Kb
Silence filled the air around them as Kross and Devion stared each other down. After several moments, the air finally was broken. "The battle grounds work like any other arena intended for combat. Participants are pitted against one another and the last one left that is able to fight, wins." Devion then folded his arms. "He owes me at least seven thousand gold in failed bets." He shifted his weight to one side with a cocked hip. "I don't see it being settled especially," he motioned towards the group, "not from such a mixed party such as this miserable one."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8HKUs7XZA
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdDrOyM5T9
Kross closed his eyes as his resting lips curled into a cocky smirk. "Heheheheh," he took a breath and opened his eyes to lock with Devion. "Try us."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJol0e618oR
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD9tOApFCnL
The armored dragon man motioned at Kross with an curious look. "What makes you so sure?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdtPywdfSf
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwVQzijjH7D
"Because we've all faced many terrors and horrors before arriving here. I doubt you can throw anything at us that we can't handle."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLWXGoFNrdH
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakvD9iHkqE
Silence filled the air once more as Devion pondered this, rubbing his chin. His sharp orbs scanned the group one more time before resting on Kross. "Alright, I will accept your bet and here are the terms of our little deal." He cleared his throat. "If you win then I will erase his debt and release his brother, free as a bird. If you lose then his debt remains on the books and his brother in my cells." He approached Kross as he unfolded his arms. "Plus your party becomes part of my pets to use in combat as I see fit." He stopped in front of the ranger and offered a hand. "Do we have a deal?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBpoP77bTJi
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaivCTe8HJM
"If we do this deal, some might not see their fathers or sisters again..." Amber quietly commented with a little bit of worry.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlrzscjrhTT
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbmiQUPpjOF
Kross narrowed his gaze. "Think carefully on this." Faerthurin sternly warned.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwXvOeMbGI
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHUpF7y5tsw
"...Deal." Kross took Devion's hand, giving a firm shake.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF4LBopKdMq
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpawBPGmOs
Devion chuckled smugly as they each released the others hand. "This should be fun. It's been some time since I last had fresh meat to use in battle." The black dragon loudly yawned from boredom and laid down outside the columns for a nap. "I am feeling generous so I will allow your group to pick two fighters to participate."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWidYLJTR1D
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUiEJ9vHIKL
"Thank you for your kindness." Kross turned and made his way to the center while the others came to meet him. "Okay, so which two of us wants to fight against whatever he might send out?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnFnoy97yEC
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb9rjXVuXZr
"That really depends on what he'll be using. Will it be his mount or something he has yet to bring out?" Faerthurin calmly questioned in her matter-of-fact way.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡET3DO8VD54
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyTw2KXcleS
"Good point..." Kross turned his head towards Devion. "Hey! What kind of beast are you planing to use?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWu9JHBECcw
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4nMqPZ64p
The armored man stood taller with his arms refolding. "Nothing bad...just my 'special' pet for such a special occasion."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsh40VJgtk0
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡERm798EI9I
"Well that was sure helpful." Jalerom sarcastically responded.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvpgXIC3zUF
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkfpyJuM6Qh
"At least we know he isn't going to use his black dragon." Ivan pointed out both assured yet concerned simultaneously. "So there's one good thing."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiqMgNdxmA
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk0FYS8sOPL
Faerthurin sighed. "That still doesn't exactly help us decide who would stand a chance at victory."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjd3gSAa4Up
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx2cFJxIUM8
Oin cleared his throat. "If we must simply outlast his pet, then perhaps I have a suggestion. How about Amber and myself take this fight?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDr6wn8IkPH
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjq08HjpSFX
"Oh yea, we do have the best armor." Amber perked up.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdPF98dFXU
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfj6CwGfYFU
"Also we both have a decent track record of taking damage longer than the rest of you." Oin finished before looking over from Amber to the red horned queen.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnJnszGw01a
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj4vjkKFYm
Jeminya huffed lightly as she put her hands on her hips. "Well excuse us for not being a walking cannonball." She retorted with a small smirk forming from Oin's response.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zXBhAwfAH
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhHMjrZJGwv
Oin grumbled and looked away from their leader. "Anyways," he looked to Amber. "Are you ready to go?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx16TPI5Ya9
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFrPghKJeL6
"Ready as ever." Amber nodded firmly with determination. "Let's reunite this split family!"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLfHVKmzPWK
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAOfSbgADAs
Devion yawned while shifting his weight to his other hip and unfolding his arms. "Are you lot done deciding on which two will represent your fate?" the party turned and nodded with Oin and Amber stepping up. "Good," he motioned to the seating. "The rest of you may sit and watch your freedom slip away."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ24f3khd8pY
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8yXwNqAwc
"Good luck Amber! I know you got this!" Ivan encouraged as he quickly gave her a tight hug.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdv8Vmv6PM
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3z4wuI8MTn
"Thanks!" the golden dragon replied confidently with her own return of the embrace.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNiBDVf72c
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAsZ33pVAm
"Come on Ivan, you can hug your love interest after she wins." Rose called out and Ivan broke the hug, and gave a quick wave as he ran over to the stone bleachers to join the rest of the party. Once it was just he and the duo, Devion looked back over his shoulder and gave a whistle. The black dragon shifted its tail and thumped it hard on the ground once before going back to sleep.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk2a8nNIoXZ
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaWMA7uLJOo
Amber stretched her arms above her head before twisting her body left then right. "This feels like the first fire elves trial." She looked to Oin as she brought her arms down. "What do you think we're facing?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7DE2Pg9et
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVITgswkd2
"No idea but if it follows the same rules, even if killing is allowed, we just need to incapacitated it and we win. Shouldn't be too hard with my spells and your size." Oin answered as his neck cracked when he tilted his head left and right.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9QLmp0ibnP
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaGvaQ8v3Ls
She nodded with a smile. "Yea, there isn't anything we can't do when we buff me up, hehe."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjNBK1SXQOy
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRn18Ddip3t
Shortly after that, the ground lightly trembled as a large beast came into view. It was making its way to the battle grounds while being lead on a chain by a silver scaled male. As it got closer, it was clear to see it stood about six foot five and was covered in white fur to resemble a wolf. When it came to a stop, it looked to measure around fourteen feet in length as it lowered down, stretched out its tail and snarled at the duo. The scaled man removed the chain and quickly made his way out of the combat zone.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbPP1CMruL
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrpbmw3mrXJ
Devion stood proudly beside the snarling beast and stroked its side. "Magnificent, isn't he? He did cost a good bit of coin but I think it was worth it."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTBCeQItxVv
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRcilkrcevs
The party stared in shock at the sight with some having their jaws dropped. "What in the world is that thing?" Faerthurin questioned while mentally noting the dragon horns on its head and the way its pupils narrowed similar to a dragons.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv12mt3Jm5w
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8AN2AFiXA
Rose couldn't tear her gaze away while her mind went through all she knew about animals. "...I don't know. I can't remember anything that fits it completely." She scanned it over again to notice the spikes on the top of its tail and the talon looking claws. "The fur and claws are fitting for an arctic type wolf but the size and other features fit more with a dragon race." After a moment more, Rose lowered her head slightly and her tone of voice fell into one of great displeasure. "I don't think this creature was made naturally by nature."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrNaAVfm2vE
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIG6zlk6Jkz
Faerthurin sighed and started using one of her skills. "I'll see then if there's anything I can figure out about it."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ35RjT1cdC3
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdnRXK8MQKH
On the battle grounds Devion patted the side of the beast. "Do you all like it? I call it Dragof, since that reflects both sides of him."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZTlO1JZpv
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo6xtCa4x0C
"What do you mean 'both sides of him'?" Oin asked firmly.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdx6xdj2gBr
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwPnCTrcf2A
"You'll find out," he glanced over towards the focusing dark elf, "sooner or later I would suspect." He smirked as her inspecting gaze turned into a glare upon him of disgust. "Now then, the rules are simple." He began as he set his sights on Oin and Amber. "There will be no magic allowed but natural skills are permitted."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4xjhVbRieH
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2CyUXUyXsN
"What?!" the shout erupted in unison from the bleachers with Kross having stood up with Ivan.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlaQFiKitCK
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfoDTivlBza
"Hey!" Kross snapped, drawing Devion to look over calmly. "Why did you leave that part out when I asked earlier?!"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxE93hUNtXM
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5nEBSDc6l
"You didn't ask about the rules. You simply asked about the battle grounds." The owner calmly stated with a smug shrug.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZmf66yErII
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsgwOuam7eS
Kross growled with his jaw tense. "You knew exactly what I meant by that question."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYic91j8AC3
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP2PExNWCvw
The dark elf rubbed the bridge of her nose with her eyes closed. "Kross, just sit down now. He's not worth your energy...not right now at least."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoYjoc67Z9
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpZ8teZ2jpW
"We can rub it in his face later when his little trick backfires." Rose added and looked over to a concerned Ivan. "You too. Amber will be fine." The two males slowly sat down displeased and worried.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYA6WQO1Ar
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrx7QCnfFeT
Amber gulped nervous after hearing the 'no magic' rule. "I think we might be in trouble."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh6XBrpoeE6
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqlBS65Smp
"We'll get through this. We've gotten through fights before without using buffs and we will again." Oin calmly replied as he readied for battle.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwSiEWG8BKt
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCSf7v4F7Y
The owner gave his beast another stroke. "Have fun and you may have a tiny treat during this fight." He walked away from Dragof to stand outside of the columns. He lifted his hand into the air. "Ready?" his hand began to glow along with each column's carved symbols. "Begin!" simultaneously as his hand dropped with his words, magic shot from one column into the next, flashing at the end after the transparent walls had been set.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNLGnArk2wx
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXGk853w3M8
Once the fight began, Fae was glaring daggers at Devion with a deep frown on her face. Ivan and Rose looked away from the battle and at Faerthurin. "Um are you okay? You look more annoyed than normal." Ivan inquired.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZ69GSPsL3
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCSvtk9CPO
"What have you found out Rin?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJCndDkdhRN
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYKyU1rRKcW
"That beast was not naturally made but was created by force." Faerthurin's tone was low as she tensely answered.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkSrJq31B3x
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiZw3g9UL46
"By force? What do you mean?" Ivan questioned.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXjN9HvHher
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrvhRe2mkz
This talk soon grabbed Jeminya's ear. She turned left towards the trio. "What's this now about force?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyhl0fsmUq4
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡakWOcvNT1L
"I asked Rin if she could figure anything out about Dragof since I couldn't recall anything to pin down its species." Rose explained as Jeminya looked to her.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡydJ5kI2lE5
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZj5CUTh2DT
Jeminya frowned and looked to Faerthurin. "Have you concluded what type of magic was involved?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyX7Puy09Dd
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVOzq1Qyx6T
Faerthurin nodded softly. "Someone used ritual magic to make that...thing."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBykYCW353d
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMnvcWizQe
"Well that's troubling as I thought ritual magic was banned." Jeminya stated while lightly folding her arms.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi0JH2btUuW
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnGKQz4t191
"Troubled?" Jalerom blinked as he turned around in his seat. "What's troubling? The fight just started and I think they can take it."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiBK9GUbqq
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdkMh6iKylK
Ivan shook his head. "That animal was made using banned magic."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4iAlWlXCnv

The rogue turned his attention to Faerthurin. "What?"686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtm4dBkLZvS

She took a breath and sighed. "Someone fused an arctic wolf and a dragon together using ritual magic. That type of practice was banned because most times those used were in a constant state of suffering." She set her orbs on Dragof. "It was seen as inhumane so was banned and those caught practicing it can be arrested, tried and jailed."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKRt7cYNaZ

"That is definitely not a good thing." Jalerom turned his attention back to the battle. "But they should still be able to beat it, right? And maybe if it is in pain then we can put it out of its misery."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoegbuUpIup

Rose tensed at hearing all this and her fingers curled into tightly gripped fists. Shiloh at her side quietly whined and nuzzled her as he placed his head into her lap. "I don't think I want us to work with this race anymore."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4B2J5rcgfq

"We don't have much of a choice. We need alliances to face my sister and have a better chance of not dying." Jeminya reminded.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSzFTkYQ9k
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQY9YZyGoGp
"I don't care!" Rose slightly snapped as she stared down the tiefling with anger. "They are going against nature and have caused two innocent creatures to become a monster, and for what? So they can make a profit."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBuExnxWFZh

Ivan stood and moved closer, coming to sit between Rose and Jalerom. "Rose, I know it's not right but we need all the help we can get."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ968VMaNaN3
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlw6T57Dkj
"There's no place we can send it so it can live happily if it isn't in pain. If it is in pain then it's just another creature needing to die needlessly because of human greed."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIrSyLFUjPq

Kross lightly cleared his throat. "We don't even know if the yellow dragons were the ones who used that type of spell."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZtloCPex9
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEf9NKlq7xY
Jeminya nodded. "Kross is right. We don't know who used that spell so in the way of use, the yellow dragons could be in the clear."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EyDqwtPhG
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4RRWWXa4JM
"But in the court of knowingly buying a man-made creature? They are guilty as charged." Rose flatly stated.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVmXRcGpUY
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTQbjbFotM
"Unless they didn't actually know." Kross muttered before turning his attention back to the fight.686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡw3XBTO6LJG
686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2M0TLGo10
Rose scoffed and began to pet Shiloh's head. "Oh they knew. There's no way they didn't know and they deserve no praise for it."686Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1CxT51YDbo
