[QUOTE="Phaezen, post: 4941438, member: 42839"] "[COLOR=Gray]the time is not yet right[/COLOR]" Following slammed the door behind him as he stormed out of the priests office returning to his cell. The rumors of the giants had been growing now for months, along with the growing impatience, while he was forced to fight in the arena bettering himself for his unknown task. Looking out the window at the darknwss of the sky outside, following felt his thoughts drifting back, almost five years. The roaring of the crowd seemed to swell with the anticipation of blood being spilt as Following, chained to his partner, entered the arena. The half-elf, a small time criminal who had been caught stealing from the temple stumbled nervously, a growing wet patch staining his pants, leaving a small trail of mud in the dust. Ignoring the whimpering of the convict, following studied thier opponents, a halfling and a halforc, the halforc while large and muscular moved slowly, whereas the halfling looked more dangrous, to those who were trained to watch thier opponents. Watchting the halflings movements, Following took note of the shadows surrounding him, subtly changing thier movements and flow to guide his blade to a vital spot when the time came. The noise from the crowd stilled as the pairs gladiators circled one another, looking for the opening. Follow kept an eye on the unlikely pair waiting for the moment to strike. There. The orcblooded one is becoming impatient. "[COLOR=Gray]Is it true you once tried to jump a pig, but it ran away due toy ou being to ugly?[/COLOR]" Following called out to the brute, smiling slightly at the panic in the halflings eyes as his companion grunted in rage and charged. Waiting till the last moment, following yanked on the chain connecting him to the halfelf pulling him into the charging halforc's path and dissapeared from site, riding the shadows to appear behind the halfling. As he appeared he let the flow of shadows guide his blade deep into the unfortunate creatures body, piercing the heart. Putting his mouth near the shocked face of the halfling his whispered into his ear "Shadows speed you to the court of the Raven Queen" Feeling the shadows dissapate around the halfling the Revenant backed away looking at the halforc tearing messily into his fighting companion. He backed away calling out to the raging creature "[COLOR=Gray]Hey ugly this way[/COLOR]". The halforc stopped, and finaly seemed to notice the corpse of the halfling he was attached to and pointed to at Following "[COLOR=Gray]Youze killed Agraad, Duruk will teach you pain you for that.[/COLOR]" Following smiled, channled the shadows and slashed at the Brute with them. Duruk squealed in pain as a cut opened across his chest. Then another, and another. In desperation he charged Following hoping to stop the phantom assault and gasped in surprise as the revenant dissapeared, assuming a ghostlike shape to avoid the strike, then reappeared behind him, his sword having changed into a executioners style axe, which came down on the halforc's neck ending the match. Ignoring the roars of the crowd, Following walked back to the tunnel, hoping the next fight would be a better test of his skills.
