Killing Time

Looking up from the body of the elf I turn to the announcer and call out.

"im good for my next fight!"

The announcer is looking at the elf stunned but my words breaking him from is stupor and responds.

"ah yes, well you see we will need the rest of the day to prepare because every fifth fight is a special event unless you chose not to take it then you start from your first, sixth, eleventh and so on till you complete your twenty-fifth after which you are free to come and go as you wish"

Huffing in annoyance I nod and head towards the exit to thew applause and the roar of the crowd, once I enter the hall way leading from the arena I lash out with a fill force punch to the wall, my battle lust from the build up from the so called fight with the elf hasn't past yet and I'm jittery and itching for a fight, the guards look at me like a wild animal and give me a wide berth and avoid my gaze which aggravates me further, leaving the waiting and arming area I see Hallar and Crom leaning on opposite side of the hallway I enter, Hallar see my thunderous face and with an cocky smirk and throws my something I catch it in reflex as he speaks.

"put those on and we will help you kill some time"

Looking down at what Hallar threw at me I snort out a laugh as I see what I held, in my hand is a pair a of black cotton panties with 'Spank me' in bright pink stitching written on the back, glancing around I see a recessed alcove which is shadowed nicely, I step in to the most shadowed corner and with out hesitation slip on the panties, I turn and see Hallar and Crom looking at me with heat in their eyes, I simply smile and step out and gesture for them to lead the way, Crom bows slightly and offers me his arm.

Hallar rolls his eyes at Crom and begins leading the way as I link my arm in the arm Crom has offer me, we walk for a bit though hallways and I admire the decor as Hallar speaks.

"okay here is the plan we are going to the trading stables because there is new stock coming in and then after that we are going for something to eat after that we will drop you off in your room so you can relax and get ready for your fifth fight"

I nod excitedly as we walk in to the open and head out of the Colosseum and walk through the streets while making small talk, after ten minuets of walking a large open-air stable comes in to view, the walls are a dark red wood and the gates are open wide, as we walk inside the gates we are met by a buxom sunflower yellow haired elf, she greats the Princes with a wide smile and bows showing a generous view of her large breasts as she speaks.

"greetings your highnesses and gladiator I will be your guide so if there is anything you are looking for in particular, I will endeavour to find it for you"

Crom nods as he raises from her bow and asks.

"we are looking for exotic animals if there is any?"

She nods and gestures for us to follow, we begin moving down pathways between large pens holding different kinds a creatures some small some large and varying from panthers to allosaurus, I dart from enclosure to enclosure viewing everything I see while Hallar and Crom chuckle at my antics pouting slightly I snap.

"What?!"

Hallar and Crom look at each other with a smile as I turn around and pick up a shadow nix panther cub which looks like a normal panther except it has six legs, a stinger and matte coal black fur and begin to cue at it while I scratch it behind its ears, after a few seconds of enjoying myself I place it back in its pen as Crom speaks.

"we didn't think you would love animals so much after you killed the salamanders in such a fashion"

Chuckling I move back to Crom and link my arm back in his and we begin moving back through the aisles of pens of animals and I say.

"animals are beautiful and interesting when they are not trying to kill me and despite what I am I'm still a sucker for cute furry things, I evenlike most scaley and feathered animals to a point six legs are my limit anymore and it gives me the creeps"

Hallar shudders and speaks.

"Yeah, spiders give me the creeps as well"

I chuckle and go to tease Hallar about being scared of spiders when a roar like screech and a load crash echoes though out the market, turning to each other Hallar hands me a dagger and begin heading where the roar came from, we take off in a run leaving Crom trailing behind we turn the corner we come to a stop and see several handlers trying to calm a majestic griffin, the griffin stands 13 foot tall at the shoulder and has beautiful chocolate brown fur with snow white feathers on its wings and at the end of its tail, glancing around I see what cause the crashing sound, there is a pair of legs sticking out of a collapsed cart, nodding to myself I move to stand in front of the glorious beast I drop the dagger to the floor and spread my hands open wide to show it I have no weapons and take a few more steps closer to it, the griffin locks eyes with me and lowers it self in to a position its ready to a attack from, from the corner of my eye I see a handler un coil a whip, seeing him get ready to strike, my anger spikes and electric begins to dance over my body as I snap a the fool.

"if you dare whip this griffin, I will be the one to tear you limb from limb do you understand?"

I turn at the sound of someone gasping only to be met by a huge pair of forest green eyes, resisting the urge to attack I stand still for a second before I move my hand and place it on the griffins beak it closes its eyes and pushes it head in closer and it lets out a purring sound so I place my free hand under its chin and begin scratching it there, Hallar and Crom move closer after picking up the dagger I dropped at their approach the griffin tenses up but I sooth it by stroking the side if its head, Crom locks eyes with Hallar and nods while saying.

"come on little storm we need to grab some food and then you need to rest"

I glance towards Hallar who just nods, so me and Crom link arms again and head out of the market and pick up some food from a stall that made me salivate at the smell coming from it, we continue to walk and talk about mundane things as we head back to my room, it seems to take only seconds before we arrive at the door to my room we stop, I turn to Crom and ask.

"Do you want to come in and do you know anything about my next fight?"

Crom raises an eyebrow before he says.

"I would love to, but you need to rest, and I do not, each person gets something the committee choses, we will be cheering you on from the stands all the way, now go and rest"

I nod and open my door as I step through, I feel a slap on my ass and hear a load chuckle as Crom winks at me and walks away.
