The Games of Saberhaven
Asharag vs. Teranor the Swift Death

        The first fighter to bless the presence of the ring today is Teranor the Swift Death. He slings a scimitar and a short sword around at an incredable pace, dicing the air in front of him. He bows to the opening his opponent will emerge from.
        Asharag is his opponent, and a very capable fighter. The dragon man bursts through the gate and fades out before any can get a glimpse of his equipment. Teranor blinks only once and the battle begins.
        There is only slience for a minute as Teranor studies the air mysterously for a short time, squinting into the sun. He suddenly snaps into action, leaping in what seems to be empty air. The sound of ringing steel echos through out the arena as Asharag appears in the air. Teranor's deadly scimitar moves with uncanny speed but Asharag manages to deflect 2 blows with his monsterous hammer. His short sword darts in as well as Asharag pulls back into the air.
        Asharag shimmers once and disappears once again. For a few minutes there is nothing and the crowd begins to boo, taunting the dragon man to show himself. All of a sudden from the top of the Arena comes a booming voice.         "Concede this fight Teranor, before I am forced to annihilate you. Once offered."
        Teranor makes an extremely rude gesture to the ceiling and spits on the ground. He begins to swing his swords nonchalantly and waits for his foe to appear.
        Creeping up behind Teranor suddenly is a huge Gorgon, actually Asharag transformed. Teranor swings around in time to be enveloped in a fog just emitted from Asharag's mouth. Suddenly the movement of Teranor's comes to a halt and he becomes nothing more than a stone statue. Asharag slowly morphs back into his true form and heaves his great hammer into the air...
        With a thunderous clap it slams down and into the stone figure of Teranor. His upper torso explodes into millions of shattered shard of stone, and now his jagged legs are all that remains.
        Asharag calmly looks to the crowd, nods and walks triumphantly our of the Arena.
