Thousand Strong Challenge

Will sat up as soon as he heard the iron doors shut. The hour had passed faster than he thought it would. He looked around the formation, there was no gap any longer. He looked at Maya to see her also prepare.

"This won't be easy Maya." Will said as she stood and stretch. "If I tell you to take off, please listen." he had every confidence in his own ability to survive the round, but he didn't want to endanger her for his own arrogance.

Maya looked at Will with determination. "Don't make that decision lightly," she said silently to him. "I will always remain at your side, even when you do something foolish." Will was about to argue but Maya raised a hand to stop him. "That doesn't mean I won't do what you say Will." she said with a half smile while she stretched her back. "Just think more about what'll happen after the fight." she gave a playful wink to Will. "After all, you still have to travel with me."
