Darkness is something every living being in the world. If given a chance it will always flourish out on it on .Slowly and maturely blocking out the light .
"Fight fight fight fight fight. "
This is why I hate the human soul The most .It is heavily vulnerable to this darkness and we will always act on them without reluctantance
"Kill her already"
"You goddamn piece if ahit I put 30 silver on you ."
"Weren't the sun guardian tribe supposed to be stronger then this?"
As the crowd chantinh grew louder I watched the battle transpire from my cell .
From even so far away I could see Margaret was gritting her .It seemed the crowds banter was slowly getting to her.
But they weren't wrong though. In fact It was only a few minutes in sense the proctor had started the fight and she was already losing pretty bad.
Her opponent was a half orc .He had red tinted body but other then that and his horns he had looked like a human.He was a muscular man with short green hair named scar.
Scar was one of the oldest fighter in the slave arena .There weren't many who had survived longer then he has.
The Arena is were Slave trader would bring the slaves they captured and can't sell for various reasons.
If a slave would catch their interests the slaves would be brought in too act as gladiators or the arena just planed to sell them their selves in the underground auction.
The fights themselves had only one condition .The only thing the trader cared about is if the species were kind of rare and if they could put up a fight.
Stuff like age and health didn't matter here at all whatsoever .
While his opponent Margaret was just a 7 year old girl .She was from the Sun guardian tribe.
There is no clear explanation why but the more they fight in the sun the more stronger they get .They can use it to store and release energy .
They are kind of like plants as some would say .It acts like as a great nutrition and food source for them so they don't have to eat much .
"Rawr."
As a yellow arau covered his body scar used his hands like a club and smashed them into the ground. Changing the terrain of the arena to not be so flat anymore .
The shock wave were strong enough to push Marget back but she she tried to hold her ground .
At the sudden development the audience cheers grew ten times the amount then before as the two fought
.Margaret had deflected Scars greatsword but he Slashed down with another strike a few seconds later .
This time being unable to predict it she didn't reflect the attack with her short sword.When she got hit her small body few across the arena floor hitting the wall
For a minute the cheering masked drunkards, parents ,and children alike had died down
Margaret had been knocked out from the blow and now was on the ground from what everyone could see .So now it was over for her.
"Kill her .".
"Finish it you damn beast."
As the crowd screamed at scar he gripped his blade.He had nothing against the little one bit it was survival of the fittest here.
The only reason he was treated so well was because he kept winning with each battle he was in getting much brutal and brutal.
It wasn't that he didn't have a heart but he wanted to survive which was something I could understand.
"I'm sorry little but I have to."
As Scar Raised his sword up in the air he swang it down with all of his power in one foul swoop.
"Like i would ever accept that."
As she she rolled over out the way Margaret grabbed her blade and aimed for Scar neck .
Her Sun guardian abilities had been activated and now her was a dark orange color as she fought.
But that wasn't enough .Even though his sword was stuck in the ground Scar still had access to his super human strength and defense.
Plus he had way more experience then she has ever had in battle .
Before she could even hit him he he had punched her in the gut sending her across the arena.Hoping it was over he walked forward.
But Margaret had came in running back faster then he had expected. She grabbed had grabbed ahold her sword along the way that had fallen out of her hand.
If one were to look at her now they would see that her hair had turned red.She was like a crimson fireball coming to deliver judgment.
"Little one you forced me to do this.!!!"
As.Scar yelled he was preparing to activate his ace in the hole but it was already too late.
Marget had taken action . Letting go of her she used her foot to kick herself off the ground .
Using the momentum she deliver a kick to scar nuts forcing him to stragger back. Using this chance she went back and grabbed her sword
.Before scar had knew it for a brief second he thought he had saw a flaming demon rushing towards him .
Before he had even had time to formulate a plan Margaret had delivered a jab go his stomach.
'Rawr'
The pain made scar yell in pain. It was Abad it didn't even sound human anymore. It was more like a wild beast getting injured
Finally Margaret saw a opening and using her blade she had stabbed him in the gut killing and setting his gain body ablaze .
As she launched the blade into his heart her now flaming red her reverted back to blonde. Even though the fight was over I could see she still gripped her sword tightly.
At that moment I wanted to know what was going through her mind.But I felt it was best mot question it.
Even if I tried I'm sure that would never able to understand it even if I wanted to .Soon after Marget dropped her sword and let the guard bring her back with out any resistance.
Idk why but when they brought her past my cel I felt her looking at me .I thought she was going to tear my heart out from through the bars so I could do was back away in fear.
For some reason I thought I saw a sad expression on her face. I thought but I was sure I must have been mistaken .
When it became noon the slaves were brought to a area on the property used as a dining room for us to eat at.
Even though it was called a dining area the food made was barely edible.When they ran out of meat they would usaully use the body of the dead slaves.
Refusing to give even real food to the slaves who fought and won in the arena they would make everyone eat the same thing.
This was probably a precaution sense you need energy to fight and think .If some slave were actual able to eat right they would be able to rebel .
There were also a few guards placed around it to keep the slaves in check to keep the slaves in check but that was really it. The dining room it self was basically just a smaller arena but with tables .
"This place sucks .I heard if you can beat the master in a battle in the arena you can escape think I can win ."
"No of course not ."
As I heard the a table talk I tried to listen in to see if anyone if them would actually fight the master. The master was the person who ran the arena and the slave camp .
Even though this was the case there was no one even among the guards who knew what he looked like at all .Only the top advisor knew his identity.
Some of the slaves think the master is a a person acting as a slave.What better way to watch over toys then to watch over them your self after all like a God.
As I looked for a place to sit I saw a corner that was far away from everyone. To sit at table atleast you had to fight for a spot. Usaully the guards would just watch the fights over table sits unless someone was going to die
'This sucks but atleast there is no harassment today."
Today was none other then cooked scar .The Arena hated letting the slaves meat go to waste so they would cook it and then feed it to us .
As I played with the was orc meat I used my hands to tear the hot meat apart and and put a piece in my mouth .
It was disgusting but if I didn't eat it then the guards would just force me to . As I tore piece after piece before. I knew it I had finished my plate.
"Hey do you like this stuff."
.
As she sit down she used her took her red meat and placed it on my plate.If I had to say she was actually cute up close but I knew it was best to stay away.
"Are you scared little boy?"
As Margaret grabbed my arm her Ruby eyes felt like they were staring through my bangs straight to my soul.
"Your a year older then me ."
As I tried to shake my arm free from her grip I could her hand tighten even more.At this rate it was going to be torn off
"For now on you are my property. "
It was a Rare thing to be called property by another slave .You would think this would attract the attention of the others but it seemed no one else cared about what she said.
'Am I the weird one here?'
Little did I know at that time Margaret words would be come a safe word for me .I don't know why she choose me all I know is regretted talking to her ever since .
'Am I the weird one here?'
"Is there a choice to say no?"I asked nervously
I didn't want to get involved with this crazy bitch .She had killed scar and now she most likely had a target placed on her head by the higher ups and the slaves.
"Have you ever had your neck dislocated?"
As Her eyes glared at me I knew I had no choice but to say yes or I may die a death worst then Scars.
"You two get to moving."Said the guard"Meal time is over. "
As soon as he said that I got up and ran out. towards my cell .Before I could make it in I fell over because I was knocked over by something hard.
'Ouch .'
"Watch where your going ya little shit."
As the man turned around I could see that maybe I may have messed .I was trying to move to fast and knocked into someone.But I was more afraid of Marget
"Hey come back here ."
As I ran back to my cell I made sure to close it quickly before Margaret could get in .I doubt she was even chasing me or would try butI was scared at the time
"Cell mate 105 your eager to get in your cell now."
As the guard opened my cell I could feel my body cringe for a moment .I was hoping it wasn't what I thought it was.
"So did you get yourself a little girl friend 105."Said the guard"Ha little shit ."
As the guard walked forward I really don't know why at that moment I acted the way I did.
I didn't ever like it when attention was gathered on me but when the guard raised his fist at me like I felt my heart beat felt faster.
For a few minutes time hadnstopped from me and her words repeated and repeated untill it was all I could think about .
"Your mine so fight back .Only I can touch my property."
In that instant for me everything was different. There was no hierarchy. I wasn't a slave to my fear.
"If you touch me even a tiny bit.I don't care if you don't even mean harm.I'll kill you. "
My body itself had acted on it own .It was like I had lost all of myself felt control .I had dodge the guards fist .
"Bring him to the arena ."Said the guard."Sense he wants to act tough we will put him in the arena with muck ."
As soon as he said that I resigned to my fate.This was my death bed I knew it .
'Please don't send me there.'
But my pleas were in vain because my big mouth kept yapping making it worst.
"So be it.I will kill whoever you throw at me .Let's just get it over with ."
As the guards dragged me down the hall before I left my cell I thought I saw Margaret laughing at from inside it. Smiling as if she was going to watch a show.
