Dragons, Humans, Gladiators, & Freedom

Chapter 8

Last night had to be the most epic and wildest night of Hiccup's life. Though they did not get to meet their new arrivals but from the sound last night, they knew that they must be something.

Hiccup and Toothless were once again, back in their cages in the new fighting arena. Next to them were Astrid and Stormfly along with their new companions. Each one of them next to each other as Hiccup and Toothless were by the entrance.

The crowd was much large than yesterday. They were different clans and soldiers varying from men clad in skins of fur and wool to the thieves and criminals. There were in a few people that looked like monk scholars.

It was all strange to Hiccup. He had never seen people like these before. And the leaders they brought with them, were even more strange.

Up in the Imperial box, sat Drago and Queen Myrrnam, along with their four new companions.

The King of the Barbarians, the Western Warlord sat next to Drago on his right. Hair a thick curly black with a bush of a bear, he had black bear fur draped over his shoulder with the head resting behind his head. He had on his buckle he had an animals skull. He was very large and buff. With his army of Barbarians, he was known as Gadar of the West.

Next to him were a male and a female. Both married to each other and were the King and Queen of the thieven kingdom known as the City of Thieves. They both had golden yellow hair but the man's hair was braided into long dreadlock that came to the floor. She too had her hair long. Face and hair showing off their Britannia race, while the other part of the males tanner skin could be seen as Arabic too. Their clothes were both leather and cloth. They looked both slutty and deadly that matched their thin bodies. They lounge in their chairs with one leg draped over the side of the arm rest. They did not care what others think of them, for people found them deranged. Kasif and Tresa were rulers of the East and the desert that followed it.

The man next the Amazon Queen was definitely different from the rest. He had no hair and wore a garment similar to that of a Kimono. He was calm and quiet. He looked a little stuck up but that was because he thought of himself as intelligent. He believed that knowledge is more powerful than belief. That science and books were more powerful than any make believe god. He ruled over the Biblock, the island of knowledge and the middle territories that followed. He was known as Kahn of the Mid.

Each of their people rang through the Arena as they thirst for a fight.

Drago stood up from his chair as he held up a hand. "Welcome! We are here today to witness a glories fight between our nations. Who will rein supreme? Will it be the thieves and their fighters? Or will it be the barbarians?"

Each clan screamed and cheered for theirs. They then quieted down as Drago's ordered the gates to open for the first match.

As Drago sat down, the six began to talk.

"Nice pep talk, a little redundant though" Kahn voice rang with a know it all attitude.

"You wouldn't know how to talk to a group of people with your impertinent talk" The Barbarian King scoffed.

"Impertinent? My, the beast knows such big words" Kahn acted astonished by the barbarian's words.

"Why you little..."

"Enough you two" The Amazon Queen was getting annoyed the two men. "You two are worse than two dogs fighting over a piece of meat."

"I could show you a real piece of meat" Gadar rested his elbow on the armrest as he tried to act smug and charming.
