The Final Test

With the rise of Dawn, Alex was once more woken up bright and early as he was dragged to the center of the training field, where he met with the other initiates gathered before their naga masters to engage in training for their upcoming fights. Many of those around him would not survive the early stages of the arena; others might not even survive the training itself. Of course, they were all disgruntled from Alex's overwhelming display of dominance the day prior.

Alex quickly found himself at the end of the Lash as he was forced to lift massive stones for strength training; despite his level of strength, even he found it difficult to drag these stones across the field and stack them into a pile. However, unlike the others, he endured, but it was by no means exhausting.
