Twilight of the Gods

((From when they said they were being taken to be prisoners.))

((You missed like three relevant posts to your characters, Mi'j))

((Doh, sorry bout that.))

Laryn picks up the note, and looks for something to kill. "Like hell they will!"

The Guide appears before her, silently shaking his head.

Amilee stays silent, shaking more.

"Why the hell should I listen to them, you're lucky enough that I didn't run off from the rest of those people, whoever the hell they were when I first got here, and then someone shows up and says that I'm supposed to be a slave!?"

Laryn sighs and attempts to calm down, with moderate success. "Fine, then what do you suppose I should do?"

"I make no promises." She then looks around at the room, observing everything.

The night came quickly, with The Guide splitting his time between the groups in an attempt to reassure them and to prevent them from doing anything stupid. As the sun started to set in the sky, loud drums began to boom out from the arena, in a signal that the fights were about to begin. The group was told to prepare by a gruff short tempered individual, but other than that, they were left alone. Laryn and Amilee were invited by their "hosts" to quote: "Watch your friends die."

Sera spent the entire time meditating. She stands up silently.

Amilee would just be horrified, looking to Laryn.

Sera says nothing, but grabs her spear and walks to the door.

They lead her out into the arena, which is surprisingly bright from the multitude of torches. They lead her to a gated area where she will wait for the signal.

She stretches a little.

The drum beats pick up, and in the distance, she can hear the leader speak.

"We give these sacrifices to our gods so they may bless us with strength and prosperity. And so we give this first tribute to our gods. May they be satiated and grant us all we could ask for."

With this, the gate slowly opens on her side, but not the other.

She walks out, spear at the ready.

The gate slams shut behind her. She can see that clean up is clearly not a priority, as there are moldering corpses everywhere, and the floor of this , the brown stains very visible upon the white clay packed floor of the arena. arena seems to be coated in blood. The gate on the other side seems to be waiting for some sort of trigger, and in the middle she can see a raised area, much larger than anything else. The seats around her are surprisingly low to where the action is, but if she opened her senses, she could see subtle workings of magic upon the air, surrounding the arena floor.

She draws a circle around herself and waits.

The gates remained sealed, and the spectators began to buzz as they saw the competitor enter. Even from this distance, it is obvious that the leader has a very smug smile on his face as he watches the proceedings, clearly confident in the events that he believes will follow.

"The sacrifice must move to the middle before the fight begins," he says in an imperious and somewhat snobbish voice. The crowd begins growing a little restless as she does not, and begins chanting the word move over and over again. All of a sudden she feels a series of sharp shocks in her back, as though being prodded forward by something akin to a brand.

She yawns at the feeling of shocks and gets up leisurely. She walks slowly over to the middle and yawns again, looking as bored and insolent as can be.

The gate on the opposite side opens, shrouded in shadows. Two lights flicker, before she realizes they are eyes, glowing a vibrant yellow color out from the darkness. Before she has time to think, a deep yowling can be heard from the opposite gates, before a cat like creature comes sprinting on all fours out to meet her. It moves exceptionally fast, and it is a deep black color, barely visible even in the bright torchlight. Before she can react it is standing on two humanoid legs, looking down at her in a curious way. IT seems quite the opposite of violent, and it merely continues ot watch her, waiting for her next move.

She draws a line on the ground. "Cross that and I will kill you. Other than that, I'm Sera. I am a priestess of Ra and Set." She smiles, and draws a circle around herself.
