Chapter 20 - Death in the ring

As Lixinni drew Axena to the backline, two women from the Rebelhood filled the space they had left and when the chief guard approached the mouth of the pit, he smiled at Plinx and said, "Watch now, it will be your turn soon."

He then called names, and the two names he called came from the pile of men whose backgrounds were unknown and they both stepped out and walked to the centre of the arena together.

As they all watched by holding the columns of iron that separated them from the battleground, the chief guard made an announcement wherein he talked about the background of the men on the stage and how they made foot into Tipotha, after that, there came a gong to kick off the fight.

Axena and Lixinni were at the backline and all they heard was the cheers which grew louder than the sounds which came from the impacts of the weapons the men used in fighting.
