ZIONs POV...
Walking across the bridge that leads to the underground cell of the grand arena. I nod my head at the two guards standing on each side of the threshold leading inside the cell.?
They cross their arm over their chests and bow their heads as they get down on one knee.?
"Your respect has been gained," I say emphatically as I come to a standstill in front of them. "When there is no one else around, you are no longer compelled to bend the knee. Ascend and proceed to protect the arena with your life."
The guards stand tall, their maces slamming against the hard ground. "The rite of passage to the afterlife comes to an end here." They vocalize triumphantly in unison.
A chant that has been said for many earla years as you enter the arena's cell.?
Nodding my head, I proceed to enter the cell where Thake and Thane are being imprisoned.?
