"The cloth suggests otherwise." Trinity sarcastically remarks. "Who's after Krio?" she shouts at the closed door, hoping the women is still there.

Listening to the announcer, Amaryllis makes her way toward the window to just see what's out there. Pulling the cloth away she comes face to face with the arena again. She sighs. Still just as breathtaking as the first time.

No one answers Trinity’s question. Lorreth moves to stand by the door, and peeks over Amaryllis’ shoulder. In the middle of the arena is a man holding his hands to the sky, singing a song to the Goddes.

(Quick note: the goddess is called the Zubqall Sheka, is all powerful and the only goddess worshiped. The singing before the battle is basically like when they sing a national anthem before sports games.)

Dash sidled to the window, face dark. More fighting. Do humans ever stop?

The man outside stopped singing, and bowed before walking off through a door on the other side of the arena. The announcer speaks again, calling Lorreth’s name, and Lorreth opens the door, waving as she walks confidently out into the open arena. The announcer calls out another name, Craig Huufin, and an athletic looking man wielding twin short swords similar to Lorreth’s steps into the arena.

Turning Amaryllis takes her place back at the wall. Wonder if it'll get interesting this time. She holds her breath until the battle begins, making sure she continues to stay strong

Lorreth smirks, and crouches down. Craig rushes her, snarling. He casts a minor spell, and suddenly bursts forward as fast as lightning. Lorreth sidesteps easily, but Craig was ready for that and redirects his momentum to the side, just barely missing her as she ducks down and pops back up. As she does so, she sweeps under him, and he almost jumps over her leg but isn’t quite fast enough, and rolls to the ground. Just before Craig can readjust, Lorreth throws a hidden knife at him, almost impaling his face. Luckily for him, he reacts fast enough that it just grazes his cheek.

Dash notes the swords and knife. So weapons are allowed. And they looked like the wielders owned them, they weren't provided.

Amaryllis smiles. So I can use a weapon… even though I don't really have to

The fight goes on for a somewhat extended amount of time, neither fighter being able to truly wound their opponent. Lorreth displays great skill, but Craig is well trained as well. You notice that Craig has started sweating, while Lorreth is barely panting. If you look closer, you see magic lightly swirling around her hands. She is evidently using magic to suppress her tiredness. Just as the announcer is about to add an element to the fight to make it move along more quickly, Lorreth dashes to Craig and slices his chest, legs and arm. Blood pours onto her. She then kicks him down before he can retaliate, and stands with one foot on him, holding him down. After a tiny struggle, Craig gives up.
“The winner is…Lorreth Krio!” The stands are mostly silent, only two or three people clapping. Lorreth smirks and walks back to the waiting room. She opens the door and stumbles in, dropping her confidant facade and revealing how utterly exhausted she was. She literally just drops down on the floor, her body exhausted from the magic she used to win.

Dash looks down and Lorreth for a moment, then sits down too, mumbling "Good job."

Lorreth lays on the ground, and after a moment you hear her snore.
