Im in an arena. But not any old arena. No this is different. Then i realise, i have a sword in my hand. Its quite light but not really light. I examine my sword. Handy work. All of a sudden i notice the screaming. A crowd. There is a throne. Then a grand looking man enters, he comes from behind the throne. Silence falls upon the crowd. No one even daring to cough. He's a king, definitely. He takes a seat. A boy follows him. He looks around my age, tanned skin and brown hair. He's handsome i'll admit. "Bring in the opponent!" The king shouts to the slave standing at a gate. He opens the gate to let in a beast. No beast i've ever seen before. It has 2 heads, 4 arms and 6 legs! "The objective is the same as usual! Kill the beast and be set free!" The kings shouts again. "Begin!" I adjust my armour a little. Wait what? Armour? When did i get that?! And i have to kill this beast! Oh no this cant go well.
The beast charges at me and i run to the other side of the arena. The crowd cheers again. As it runs towards me again i put up my shield. I blocked it! I go in for a stab. I twist around and stab the beast in the chest. It wails in pain as the blade jabs through its crusty skin. This is such a rush! I love it! I dodge its bite. And stab its head and hold my sword there. As it brings its head up i go with it. Hanging onto my blade for life. I sit on its back and pull out the blade. I run down its back and pull my blade down the beasts back as i go, slicing through the skin. As i get the the heart i stab down. Its wails in pail and falls to the ground. I hop off and the crowd cheers again.
What is this? Its thrilling. The boy that is sat on the smaller throne next to the king smiles at me. A prince? His smile is so inviting. And for a split second i swear he winks at me. I smile back and blush a little.
