Foxpaw: Well, it seems to be about the time when Fate-

Fate: *Snaps inside* You are indeed right, Vulpen!

Foxpaw: See? And don't call me that.

Jade: *Whispers* Should we do it now?

BlueFlame: *Whispers* No, let's ask him later.

Fate: *In singsongy voice* Guess what's todaaaaaay!!!

Foxpaw: What?

Fate: A SWIMMING contest!!!

Foxpaw: Oh no.

BlueFlame: Sounds easy enough.

Fate: Yup! *Snaps and transports them to the arena, but this time, it's filled with water. They are transported onto rafts floating above the water on the far right side, away from the Gladiator*

Foxpaw: Phewww.

BlueFlame: How'd you even manage to get all this water in here?

Fate: It's called Arena Atlantis for a reason, y'know!

BlueFlame: Ah.

Fate: You race from there... to the Gladiator! Simple. As. That.

BlueFlame: Why'd you make it so easy? Is it because of Aero's-

Fate: *Snaps and BlueFlame is wearing clamps*

Jade: Whaaaat, she was just talking about how Aero die-

Fate: *Snaps again and Jade is also wearing clamps*

Fate: Congratulations, Jade! You've worn clamps for three competitions in a row! You've achieved safety! *Snaps and Jade is floating in the air below Fate and above the water*

Fate: I will count to three, and you will swim across. One...

Fate: Two....

Fate: Two and a half...

Fate: Two and three quarters...

Fate: Two and 16/17ths...

Fate: Two and 17/18ths...

Fate: Two and 18/19ths...

Midnight: JUST START ALREADY!!!

Fate: Three!

SOME TIME LATER

Starfrost: First

Midnight: Second (Would have been first, but let Starfrost win)

BlueFlame: Third

Foxpaw: Absolute, complete, dead LAST. Took her twenty minutes to get across, while it took the others around two or three.

BlueFlame: Ughhh, YUCK, SWIMMING.

Foxpaw: No... no...

Fate: Yes... sorry, Vulpen. *Snaps, and suddenly the water's gone, and there's a big tank filled with water in the middle of the arena. Snaps again, and Foxpaw's inside of the tank, drowning*

Starfrost: No... no...

BlueFlame: Foxpaw...

Fate: Welp, that's done.

BlueFlame: *Blurts* Why did you care so much about Aero? Why?

Fate: Shut. Up.

BlueFlame: You gave her the death she wanted. You didn't even WANT to kill her.

Fate: I SAID, shut UP!

BlueFlame: Just TELL US!

Fate: THAT'S IT! *Snaps, and they're transported to the cave, all of them wearing clamps*

Fate: I will let ONE of you ask THREE questions. Understand? Now, deliberate. I'll give you thirty seconds to decide who it'll be. *Snaps and their clamps dissappear*

SOME DELIBERATION LATER

BlueFlame: We decided me.

Fate: Fantastic. *Snaps, and everyone except BlueFlame is wearing clamps*

Fate: Now. Ask away, but only THREE.

BlueFlame: How'd you end up like this?

Fate: ......

Fate: My parents were normal dragons. I wasn't. Every few generations, some dragons end up with powers like mine. The Gladiator was one of them. I learned there were three powers. Transporting, Death, and Ultimatum. Transporting is as simple as that. The weakest one. The one I was born with. Death is the ability to kill a dragon... with a thought. Of course, it can only be used five times in a dragon's lifetime. On the sixth time, they die. Ultimatum is both of them together. The Gladiator has Ultimatum. It is the rarest one there. When my parents learned I had powers like this, they kept me close, protected. They showed me how to use them for good. I... I didn't want to. I saw the power of good, and the power of evil. Good was powerful... but evil was more so. I wanted to have power like that when I learned I had the WEAKEST power of them all. So, I led my life down that path. And I ended up here. Most thought I couldn't use my power for ANYTHING. I mean, transporting? It seems useless. But I found... alternative uses for it.

BlueFlame: Wow...

BlueFlame: Well... why'd you like Aero so much?

Fate: ......she reminded me.

BlueFlame: Of what?

Fate: Not what. Who. A friend I once met. Aero was almost identical, both in personality and looks. My friend had the power of death, was sent to turn me to the good side. And I was. We were best friends. I was exposed only to the good side, nothing else. It was amazing. We had great times together. But then... we got in an argument. I saw the power of evil, and tried to convince her to join me. She refused. The fight got out of hand and... I killed her. I killed her, and... things went downhill from there. I couldn't do much of anything in the good side. So, I turned to the evil side. I eventually ended up announcing for Arena Atlantis. It was brutal, sometimes, but I made it fun. And I'm stuck here, cursed, forever, as punishment for what I did. I don't feel like I deserve it... but I know I do.

BlueFlame: One question left. What's your name?

Fate: What?

BlueFlame: Earlier, you said your name was Fate'T- and then you stopped. What is it?

Fate: ......

Fate: I was cursed, in a twisted way. I'm not allowed to say my name ever again. *Snaps, and he poofs out, and all the clamps dissappear*

BlueFlame: ........

Jade: That was... intense.

Foxpaw: I feel so BAD for him!

BlueFlame: You know what? I'm starting to, too.
