"Remove the rope," yelled a guard.
Finally, the order was given, and Zyra felt relieved that she could remove the itchy rope. She unconsciously lifted up her blouse to get a better look at her skin. The rope had rubbed and chafed her skin leaving it with blotchy red marks. Then she heard laughter from behind her.
"Why couldn't it be the voluptuous blonde beauty showing some skin and not the scrawny one."
Zyra's jaw fell open and she gaped, did that brute just call her scrawny. The man continued to taunt and laugh at her and pretty soon his team had joined in. They literally made her the butt of their jokes before she could say anything in response Kaizen drew his dagger from its sheath.
"The next person to say something will get this dagger in their belly and there will be a few less participants in the battle royale if things go my way," shouted an incensed Kaizen.
