Clang clang clangs the sound of iron and steel hitting against each other was a song of death to most buts a beautiful lullaby to the spectators of the fighting pits.
Loud cheers of encouragement and excitement could be heard from all around the once Little fighting club that only held no more than a few hundred people only two mouths after Dinaks increased in wealth he made some renovations to the old yellow Harpies gang den and turned it into
" the yellow Harpies fighting Nest" would host some of the best fighting events comparable to the ones in Meeren.
It had become extremely successful over the last few months you would think that Dinak would be living happily sitting at the best seat with a wine glass in his hand and being feed fruit by beautiful dancers.
Unfortunately wrong Dinak himself was currently the main event of the fighting pits this fine evening and his opponent was none other than Azro the greatest warrior in Yunkai (Nickname given by the public)
Tonight was a fight that had been expected and was the talk of the town for weeks where the beloved Azro the greatest warrior of Yunkai would face the Undefeated Reaper of the yellow Harpies.
This idea was suggested by Dzodro a month ago when Azro wanted to fight Dinak after realizing he was the leader of the yellow Harpies Dzodro suggested that they make this fight a spectacle and as a way to earn money whilst finding out each other's skills
"Azro was quick to accept this without even asking questions and Dinak only agreed at the time since he didn't expect much from Azro
but being in the ring with him proved to be one of the most difficult events in Dinaks life.
Dinak Pov
Dinak tried his best to keep out of Azro's reach and out of his fierce strikes each time Azro brought down his massive curved sword it missed Dinak by a hair.
Dinak circled him looking for an opening making sure to try to have him lose his composure and lose all strategy.
Azro was a better fighter than he thought he was much bigger and stronger as well he had fought bandits sellswords and even small Dothraki Khalissers but Dinak had the fighting experience of many great fighters at the moment he moved as swift as Oberyn every time Azro swung down his blade Dinak would keep out of reach and dance around him trying to agitate and were him down but keep it entertaining for the people the stands where full a chance to see the undefeated Reaper was something people couldn't pass up at this point the whole city knew him this was a great problem since he had hoped to keep it a secret for as long as possible but it was done already.
The fight with Azro lasted a few more minutes until I decided to end this quickly he leaped at Azro and aimed straight for his legs the bigger they are they always say and it was true he went down and crashed hard I thought it was done but he got back up picked up his sword and swung it down with rage in his eyes but as if my body were acting on its own I dodged his Attack and moved around him slashing at his legs and arms making him drop his weapon.
With every slash, the crowd would erupt the sounds of cheers and laughter filled the pits.
Azro despite his condition did not yield he was proud but I gave him a good kick to the head to knock him out good the crowd cheered demanding blood I looked up at Dzadro and Dzora who were sitting in the stands at the best seats in the arena along with some very special guests pig boss himself he had taken an interest in this matchup and came along with them as a way to celebrate, he brought many of the Wise Masters he had recently been announced as a wise Master a few weeks ago and our plans were in motion to get rid of him this very night.
I looked at them in the stands and turned back to Azro who was passed out on the ground I picked him up and was about to leave the Arena wh
"Wait just a moment there". one of the Wise Masters spoke out
all eyes were on him when he continued
"Why does that man still live are the laws of the arena that only one may leave alive yet we can all see he is alive.
The crowd began to murmur and whisper some in agreement others not caring about it at all.
The man was tall and lanky he wore a Bright yellow Toka as a sign of his nobility and wealth he had the outrageous hairstyle of the Ghiscari.
Dinak paid no mind to him and walked out.
This made the Wise Master furious he looked to the pig boss who was also displeased.
Insolence did that commoner just walk away from me I will have his head and feed his balls to his mother. he said with a hiss in his voice.
He was about to call one of his soldiers when Zackre walked to the stands.
Tonight was the big night where we kill these bastards, huh if it wasn't for the fact we had to wait a while longer I would have killed these noisemakers immediately. Zack thought to himself all the ways he would kill the masters tonight.
Zack couldn't help but think about how he wanted to slice off the Wise Masters' head as he was making an unnecessary disturbance. He looked at the man with clear disgust and irritation but remembered that at the moment he was to play the part of the owner of the Fighting Pit.
He walked up to the Masters
Zackre: hello there your grace but could you please stay in your seat and refrain from unnecessary disturbance please others are trying to enjoy the fight.
He tried his hardest to hold back the vomit that was to escape his mouth from speaking so kindly, especially to someone he would have killed by the end of the night.
The ignorant noble only looked to his fellow Wise Masters with a look of irritation and embarrassment he turned red and faced Zackre " and what is this that you expect me to enjoy huh?
A fight in the fighting pits of course replied Zackre irritated at having to speak to the man any longer.
What of course I know that but why did the loser live the rules of the fighting pits are that fighters enter and only one leaf and in the last match not only did both survive but the other acted so disrespectful to one of the Wise Masters he spits in our great title I demand that you hand me that slave.
Zackre wanted to kill this Man immediately
I am sorry to inform you that we have no slaves in this arena all men who fight here are free men and even if a slave were to enter they would exist as a free man.
The Wise Masters looked at him with puzzled expressions it was true slaves could earn freedom in the fighting pits but that was a custom in Meeren Yunkai acted differently.
They were about to protest when Dzodro stood and interfered.
Dzodro: My lord please forgive this minor setback and just enjoy the rest of the night I have a feeling that you will all have a chance to witness an even bloodier battle.
With that, the masters seat down still reluctant about backing down but they were making a scene and thought it was too much trouble so sat down.
Dzodro Walked over to Zackre who stood taller than him at about 5 feet
Dzodro: Try to keep calm for now once Dinak is done with preparing the Unsallied we bought and the yellow Harpies, as well as City, watch we will be ready also are the Wise Masters' slave soldiers drunk yet.
Zackre: yes I made sure to that myself before Dinaks fight started also might I ask why were Dinak and that nobleman fighting he looked to have some pretty bad injuries wouldn't it have been better if they staged the fight rather than do it for real who will command his soldiers now.
Dzodro looked into the pit then at the pig boss until turning to Zackre " don't worry his troops have Their orders to prevent any help the Wise Masters might get from arriving at them
just wait till midnight and we can begin it is not long after all just a few minutes and in the morning Yunkai is ours.
Zackre had a slight grin on his face at first when Dinak introduced them he seemed like any other edgy rich boy he still was but he was also crazy the type of crazy he liked.
After giving a slight bow to the Wise Masters trying to mock them without being too obvious he walked away to announce the next Match
" Only ten minutes till midnight he thought
Ohh how I can wait for the blood bath.
