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.
The gates opened again as the sun began to set over the Cauldron, darkness hit the arena and artificial light illuminated the blood stained sands. Two more men entered the arena, one relatively known and one completely unknown. Nickolas Imura, a man that no one had ever heard of and as of yet was not a legend, a man who had so much potential, a man who could grasp fame through the tournament of the Cauldron. The second, Krest, a name fit for a Gladiatorial. He was part of The Confederacy of Independant systems, a warrior and a fighter of quality and caliber. The crowd began to buzz and cheer with excitement as the tenth match began.
This time it was Ilyena that stood, not Evelyn. She gave no pretty speeches this time, she was eager to see this match, she loved unknowns. “Begin!”
