The sounds of buzzing words and sparking conversation could be heard in a low rumble in the gladiatorial arena known as The Cauldron. Thousands of people lined balconies, stadium seating, and individual boxes granted to VIP's. The audience lined a large ring in the center of the stadium sheer walls surrounding it and confining anyone who would be trapped inside. Six gates lined the inner walls of the Cauldron, each a heavy durasteel that dropped down from above, each carved with intricate pictures of Gladiators and Beasts alike. The arena itself was nothing but sand, rock, and and small clumps of recently coagulated blood. It was a harsh unforgiving arena, the perfect place for the first round of a tournament.
Dead silence reigned within the crowd this time as the two competitors that were slated to fight next entered the arena. The crowd dared not make a peep as a man stepped onto the sands and opposite a woman. The man of course was Ayden Cater, Lord protector of the Omega Protectorate and Titan of the force. He stood a league in his own, his hat and signature duster scurrying about slightly as the wind in The Massive Gladiator pit swayed it about. Opposite him stood Fabula Cavatatio, a woman who in her own right stood even with the strongest of force users. A tension seemed to hang in the air for the briefest of moments until finally the two competitors broke into massively overwhelming cheers.
They called for blood, roared for it, yearned for it. Their roars drowned out all sound and this time neither of the Queens made any attempt to speak or have an announcer speak. They knew that it would be a wasted effort. Out of all the great fights that had happened today, and out of all that would still happen, this was one of the ones that was clearly looked forward to the most. The two titans stood squarely facing one another for a few more minutes, loud cheers ravaging anyone with open ears.
Finally Ilyena stood once again, her lips twisted in a smile. “Begin!”
