The Games of Saberhaven
Marl vs. Rannor
The contestants enter through each side of the Arena. Marl steps forward first with a confident air. His muscles bulge under his skin as he whips a massive sword around with ease. The crowds give a cheer at his manner and then hush as rumors abound that one of his arms is magical, with unknown powers. Entering from the other side of the Arena comes Rannor, decked out in green dragon mail with a mighty longbow in his hands. He has wings sprouting from his back and he flies swiftly toward Marl shooting an arrow as he goes. The arrow streak across the arena striking Marl just below the ribcage. He winces at the pain, then proceeds to put his sword in an en guard position in front of him.
Marl then starts at a run across the arena with a big grin on his face. Rannor utters some word under his breath and his wings revert into a brown cloak, he draws his sword and awaits his enemy. Marl lashes out with his sword lightning quick, his sword smashing into Rannor's collarbone and dropping Rannor flat on his back. Rannor curses then roles to his feet, lunging forward like a snake. His sword pierces through Marl's unarmored breast almost skewing his heart. Marl yells in agony, takes a step back and lets Rannor have it again with his massive sword. He strikes a painful blow on the enemy's hip. Rannor looks at his woozy opponent and lunges again. His sword slashes across Marl's abdomen, cutting through his skin with ease. Marl's eyes roll into his head and he collapses over backward. Rannor signals the healing priests out and they revive Marl. Rannor then takes a victory bow and strides out gracefully.
