[QUOTE="megamania, post: 2124865, member: 9255"] UNDER A DARKSUN SEGMENT 144 “THE FINAL GAMES PT III” Mania coughs twice. The first cough hurt. The second was filled with blood. This human with two clubs just had to go. “You felt that one. Good. I promise you- one more then you will feel nothing else.” Mania dimly remembers a human that was captured from the Ringing Mountains. It was rumored he was raised by Tigones. Others suggested by halflings. Either way –he bites and chews. He was a ranger. Bad news. Taking the moment to gather himself, he calls on the energies from within. He needed to counter the follow up attacks this savage had. “Psionics …? I have fought and killed such.” The savage answers. “For a savage from so far away- you talk an awful lot.” The ranger stops his smile. He stops motion. Then blood trickles out of his mouth as it opens and his knees buckle. At that point, the pillar he stood on drops and reveals an elf behind him. He wields a knife now slick and red with the ranger’s blood. “Your champion proves to be very lucky.” “He is not my champion. He is the slavers possession dear brother.” “Yes. Yes he is.” “But what if he does win? He is the champion of the people. I can see it. I sense it.” “Allina, my dear sister, what EVER are you talking about?” Sirus says irritated knowing what she is saying. Cosa fights a smile. She escapes today. “He has a natural charisma I have not seen in a long time. He is a natural leader just looking for a cause. I can see it. I watch the people. I read their surface thoughts. It is the commoners that route for him. The commoners that want him to win.” “So?” “I have heard stories of him. He detests slavery…” “ALL slaves detest slavery!” interrupts Sirus. “He will and has stood up to slavers. I heard one rumor he is a Veiled Alliance member from Nibenay.” “So? Should we turn him in to the templars for the return of a favor?” “Do you recall Nibenay’s war last year with the Gith. Nibenay nearly fell to them. He was the one that stopped it.” Cosa smirks against her will. Nibenay would not have fallen. Mania had little to do with the battle ending. He was just in the right place at the right time. “Truly?” “This is much to this man. He has a destiny that I wish to decipher.” “You want to BUY him?” Sirus says in anger. “No- study.” Sirus takes the effort and time to turn and look at his sister now. Now he knows she has plans and this warrior is a part of them. He is about to say something when the crowd goes wild. Sirus looks to see what has happened. This warrior his sister is so caught up with has won another battle. Only four combatants remain. This is not what keeps his attention however, it is the far end within the stadium. The commoners. They are up on their feet and cheering for him. He honestly can not remember ever seeing this. He sees templars with B’rohgs (Balic dislikes anything obviously giant) trying to contain the crowd. For the first time, he feels his heart race from something other than acts of cruelty performed by himself. Revolt. One can see, sense and taste it. This warrior is influencing 10,000 people by fighting for his life. Sirus sits back and thinks about this. He says nothing for many minutes. [/QUOTE]
