Alex's harking frame stepped out of the arena, he took a seat in the stands arms crossed he watched what's to come.
With fear on her face the judge stood up.
"Ah, om, hmmm, Pandora's Knights won. Will the next combatants step up."
The knight captain hopped up on to the stage, and from the other side came up the Iron Heart.
"Hay doll how has it been, did pops scare ya. Trust me he wouldn't hurt a fly." The Iron heart winked at her.
"That master of yours he is something else." The captain eyed him down.
"Please announce your names."
"I'm Kane, the legend of the north. Although I don't care as to what a disgusting muscle man like your name is."
"Hey, I'm the Knight captain Hans, third Lieutenant to commander Loe the great. I will be finishing your team with you."
"Loe?" Lynx questioned.
"You know him?" Pheap asked.
"Only the second strongest mercenary companies second in command. Blue phoenix mercenary company, known for rising from the ashes of the Blue Griffin company, the former number one."
"So is being one of his lieutenants impressive?"
"No idea."
"I want a fair fight, you may begin."
Kane leaped forward performing an elegant flying back kick. Boom the kick slammed into Hans's head.
"Ahhhh." Kane screamed. Retreating he grabbed at his leg.
"Ha, ha, ha." Hans snickered. "Did your pretty little foot get hurt by my ugly body?"
"What are you?" Kane asked.
"Isn't that what I should be asking you mister Iron heart." Kane grimaced. "I have achieved the perfect body, built by broken bones. I even forcefully redirected my magic to flow through my upper layers of skin, now if you could say I'm anything less than perfect I would spit in your face."
Redirecting the magic flow through one's body is supposed to be one of the most painful things that can happen to someone. So for someone to do it willingly to live every waking second of everyday feeling like someone put hot coals under your skin is insane. The feeling is compared to several burn victims, except the pain never ends, most find it hard to sleep without pain killers.
"You're insane."
"I've been called worse."
