A young man slowly walked into the arena, sword in hand, to fight for his freedom behind him his friends and in front of him his family. His name is Aran, he is a handsome young man who's skilled in enchanting, swordsmanship and soulmanship. His friends consist of a young woman and big rockman, The freedom of the three depended on this fight. His opponent is a soldier in the Dragonian clan. His name is Malek and he wields a massive sword that is as big as himself and uses it to smash his opponents into the ground, on the other hand Aran uses a sword that resembles a katana and that measures nearly half a meter. Aran was simultaneously hopeful and terrified because this was his last fight but also because of the origin of his opponent.
The whistle blew and the fight started. The soldier, confident of his strength, rushed towards his opponent at a surprising speed considering the size of his weapon and swiped at his target. Aran, who saw it coming, ducked just in time not to be decapitated and tried shoulder barging his opponent. His feeble attempt at an attack failed miserably because the soldier kept his sword swinging and nearly chopped Aran in half but, the young swordsman had just enough time to jab his sword in the ground next to him to block the attack. This desperate attempt at a defence sent the poor man flying back. The soldier slowly walked towards his opponent, a sadistic smile plastered on his face. Aran, surprisingly enough, got back up and held his sword in front of the soldier to show him that he wasn't gonna give him the satisfaction. Aran then started going forward, his legs shaking from exhaustion after the many fights he's won in the past few days. He was considering just letting himself die but knew that the twisted leaders of the Draconian family would torture his friends till they died and he did not want his friends to live through what he had lived through. He sped up his death march toward his opponent while formulating a strategy. He knew that he didn't stand a chance without using the fire pixie that he had enchanted in his weapon but also knew that he couldn't hold control on this power because of his exhaustion. He then started paying close attention to the armour that the soldier was wearing and noticed that his gauntlets were made out of leather. He had found a weakness in the armour and none to soon either because the soldier was becoming impatient and started running towards him. Aran put the tip of his sword to the ground and, when his opponent got close enough, jumped into the air and spun at a blistering speed while lighting his sword on fire and successfully sliced the soldier's hand off which made him drop his sword. The soldier fell to his knees screaming in agony. While the soldier was holding his hand, Aran grabbed the gladiator's sword and used it to knock him out to the dismay of the onlookers. The whistle blew again, it was officially the end of the match.
Suddenly, one of the of the draconian family heads jumped down from the echelons and walked up to Aran. ''Bring out the prisoners'' ordered the young woman.
⁃ As for you, give me your weapon! Ordered the family head
⁃ Of course... let me give my only mean of defence. Joked Aran
The young family head named Ades ripped the weapon from his hands and then punched him in the face for his insolence.''YOU WILL NOT SPEAK TO ME THAT WAY YOU FAILURE OF A BROTHER" screamed Ades. Her father then jumped down from the stand and started what Aran believed to be the removal of the chains that were on his friends but suddenly, he grabbed the young woman, who was happy to be free, and threw her into a group of men located across the room and then knocked out the rockman. "Lock her up in the dungeons and let her 'entertain' the more desperate members of our clan... as for the rockman I'm sure our alchemists would love to test their new products on him" claimed the old man, a mad smile on his face. During all this, Aran had been restrained by his sister Ades and forced to watch as his friends were taken away from him. Disarmed and restrained by someone with the soul of a dragon, he couldn't do anything. He was furious at himself for having believed his snake of a father but he was mostly enraged at the dragonian family for being the most twisted and manipulative family he knew. Then, his father walked up to him and said "As for you, we'll find something for you to do" then knocked him out.
