In the Arena,
"Leave my father!!" King Theo's voice echoed through the chamber, a desperate plea fueled by the primal instinct to protect his only father.
His eyes blazed with fury as he confronted Eli, whose actions had left his father, Carter, a broken and bloodied shell of his former self.
Carter lay sprawled amidst a pool of crimson, his body contorted in unnatural angles, his once-vibrant skin now torn and mangled, a grotesque tableau of agony and suffering. His eyes, once filled with cunning and arrogance, were now vacant voids, and his hair, a stark reminder of the brutality inflicted upon him, lay scattered like discarded remnants of a nightmare.
Yet, despite the horror unfolding before them, Eli remained unperturbed, his demeanour eerily calm and composed amidst the chaos. To him, this scene was but a fleeting moment in the grand tapestry of existence.
