"I-I.."
"It's been a pleasure speaking with you, dearest Erandes. I'll see you in the pit."
[i]As Rue would lead the disguised Traci away from the short man, the woman would sigh with a seemingly despairing attitude. Least, when she was out of range.[/i]
"...We have a head start. It's either an arena fight so we can discover this object of war with a willing Khaom..
Or we take it for ourselves. Your thoughts?"
English
-
"I think the arena would cause less of an uproar and couldn't be too hard anyway. Who knows, we might have fun?"
-
"We might.. our fight should be the last, however, seeing as it is-" [i]Trumpets would then interrupt Rue, as the woman appeared shocked, as the crowd began to scream in celebration. Her fist tightened as she scowled, only to look down at the arena.[/i] [i]A heavily armored carriage sprinted through the arena, and within it, seemed to be this Erandes. It almost seemed comedic: a dwarf, yelling[/i] "Where is my challenger, o people of this fine city?!" [i]as the people cheered for him. The carriage driver was a heavily armored brute of a man, adorned within golds and metals, while he only seemed to pack armored gauntlets upon him.[/i] [i]Rue looked at Elizabeth, one last time.[/i] "Last second choice. You sure?"
-
"I'm sure, sister. I've got this." She smiled confidently at Rue. "Have I ever let you down?"
-
[i]Rue would fall into a distant silence, yet she would shake her head in response then. She would sigh, as the two would descend down the arena's stairways, into it's walls until they found a caged entrance into the arena itself.[/i] "...No mercy, remember?"
-
"Yes, Rue, I've got this." She grinned at Rue, facing her. "No mercy."
-
"No mercy." [url=https://youtu.be/yCWYiAJ7zcI]Arena of Thorns Theme - On To Winterfell (1:02)[/url] [i]The mighty iron gates would rise up for the two women, as Rue would swiftly exit, hoping to find Elizabeth to follow her. The armored carriage circled around the arena rapidly, as one of the riders within would hang off on the side, a crossbow in hand.[/i]
-
Rue followed closey behind her fake sister, eyeing up the arena a bit more as shdme did so. Her hand twitched a little, ready to fight back.
-
[i]It didn't seem like there would be much of a fight.[/i] [i]As the carriage flew towards Rue, the woman would drop down to a single knee, with the hulking carriage driving straight towards her. The man with the crossbow would carefully take aim, his finger resting upon the trigger-[/i] [i]A shard of rock suddenly erupted from the earth, sending the carriage flying to Rue's right. The crossbow man was crushed underneath the crashed carriage, as the crowd screamed in terror. Rue would only smile, rising up and bowing as if taunting.[/i]
-
Traci clapped a little and smiled at Rue. "Good job, Rue! Though, that wasn't much of a fight. The guy didn't stand a chance."
-
"Serves them right. A fuсking carriage.." [i]As Erandes crawled out from the wreck, the giant driver would exit and pull the little man up. Rue would smile sickly, before sending a barrage of rocky shards to the man. Only, he quite literally bashed them aside, with a single swing from his arm: his arm would dent, almost, yet repair itself, as he approached the two.[/i]
-
"That's...different." She chuckled, amused. "Finish it, sister?"
-
"Trying to.." [i]Rue seemed surprised. Too surprised, as she sent another rock into the man, only for him to punch through it.[/i] "Liz, some melee to distract him would work about now.." [i]She was worried. Not for herself, but for how far she would have to go.[/i]
-
"Fine." Traci drew the black sword of hers, walking slowly towards the man. "Come here, ya lil b*tch..." She mumbled to herself.
-
[i]The titan of a man would first swing his fist towards the disguised Traci, in a slow, horizontal fashion towards her chest. It seemed incredibly predictable, to be frank.[/i]
-
Traci just stepped back slowly, confused by how predictable he was before swinging her long blade at his head.
-
[i]Suddenly, the man's body would shift, his other arm brought up as the blade sunk into his forearm. Only, it became embedded within, as the man reared back to punch Traci in the stomach with his free hand, as Rue was attempting to get a shot in.[/i]
-
While he reared back, Traci just let go of the sword and backed up. She stared in complete confusion. "What the hell is that?"
-
"Some sort of.. abnormal creature. Something otherworldly has taken over this thing-" [i]Rue muttered to Traci, before she ducked down, as the titan then threw the blade towards Rue's skull. The being's wound would slowly stick together, while Rue fell silent, thinking.[/i] "...Blunt damage. We need to break his bones."
-
Traci raised her hand and as the sword passwd it returned to her hand. "I don't exactly have a hammer on me, sis..."
-
"You have a crossguard and a pommel. But if a hammer is needed.." [i]Rue would kneel down, grunting as she collected together ores and rock from underneath, as she would retrieve a bulky hammer from the earth and hoist it up.[/i] "You want one now?" [i]Perhaps rock wasn't as useful, but it was a start.[/i]
-
"I forgot about the crossguard..." Traci flipped her sword so she was grabbimg the blade. "I'm good."
-
"Hammer time, then." [i]Rue would press onwards, as she would charge straight towards the hulking being. The titan's eyes would glow an eerie blue as it would approach, awaiting Elizabeth as well. And yet: out of the rubble, the dwarf Erandes crawled out, the crowd then cheering at the scene.[/i]
-
Traci charged forward as well by Rue's side, raising her sword over her shoulder with both hands.
-
[i]As Rue swung, the titan would literally strafe underneath and slam it's fist into her gut, before then throwing a punch towards Elizabeth's jaw.[/i]
-
Traci moved too eagerly forward and got thrown onto her back by the punch. She dropped her weapon and held her jaw with one hand as she tried to stand back up.
