"Apologies to all our viewers, but for confidential reasons the following will be discussed in private.' The man in bed robes announced, turning to Eldrian and asking, "Are you willing to place your future on a duel?"
"Have I any other choice?" Eldrian asked. He was already hunted by Miracle. This was the only path to freedom he could see. He needed to gain the support of the public to grow his own support base and weaken Miracle's power.
"I guess not. After all, he is the one who managed your imprisonment and sequential escape. If you don't, he'll simply hunt you down."
"Who's he?" Eldrian asked.
"A man who enjoys to hunt people. He's been waiting for you to grow. He doesn't like it if things are too easy. Your display has proven that you will be good fun."
"Have you no morality?"
"I see no need to extend a hand when there is no profit in it for me. So, will you place your future on this duel or not?" Zaphreal asked.
