Larl entered the sands by way of the western gate a barefooted, nude beast. A tight braid laced with strands of gold stood off the crown of her head, and upon her hands were gloves with silver claws on the tips. As she sauntered along the perimeter of the arena so that all could get a good look at her she drew her shoulders back, and lifted her chin proudly.
The voices in the crowd lifted and there was a tinge of electricity in the air. As Red entered the sands from the eastern gate to circle the perimeter in the opposite direction of Larl a man climbed onto the lower wall and he began to announce the ‘halftime’ entertainment. “We have to lovely beasts that will now fight to the death for the favor of hovelling at the feet of their Master. Observe the dark haired beast and the proud way she saunters. She is a bread passion slave who has a streak of a killer. Is it possible that they made a mistake in her breading? Perhaps she was bread with a pit slave.” This drew oos and ahs from the crowd. The man continued, “And then we have the sensual Red head beast; one that any Master or Free Woman would love to have serve them. From what I have been told she is a common slut with no particular breeding. How will she hold up against such an animal as this one?” He then pointed to Larl just as she passed beneath him.
Larl peered across the sands to Red who hair was drawn back in the same exact type braid. Her forearms were covered in brass guards to protect herself from the claws that Larl wore. A wicked smile graced lush lips, and she thought she spied a look of uncertainty upon the visage of Red. “Let the fight begin!” she man shouted to the crowd, and they responded with a roar of excitement. Before larl crossed the sands to meet Red in the center she fanned the crowd with those coal rimmed pools of obsidian to look for Dominick, her Master. When she spied him, she lowered her small chin, and looked back to red. Then they both began to approach the center of the sands.
When they were both near the center Larl suddenly charged at Red, knocking the unexpected slut off of her feet, and onto her back. Larl grasped both her forearms and penned them to the soft sand, and dipped her head down and drew in a deep breath. “I smell nothing but fear upon you, slut.” Just then Red bucked up, and kicked Larl off of her. Within ehns they were both on their feet circling one another. Red tried to rush a larl, but larl stepped to the side, and lowered her gloved hands. Claws ran across the right side of Red as she stumbled forward. She lifted her hand to her side, and blood gushed forth to cover her fingers, and flowed down over her hip. Red lifted her hand and looked at the blood, and then back to larl. The beast had drawn first blood, and Red knew that she was about to be killed.
Larl toyed with Red, slicing her to ribbons with those claws. There were some boos from the crowd as they began to think that Larl had the advantage. Red was covered in blood from head to toe. Larl went in for the kill, and the bloodied whore dipped down to grasp a hand full of sand which she flung into the eyes of Larl. Screaming Larl lifted crossed arms up across her visage, and Red tackled the beast to the sand. The beast was now covered in the blood of the woman that rushed at her and shoved her to the ground. Red then leapt upon Larl, and rolled her over onto her stomach. She slipped an arm beneath her throat and drew it up tight in an attempt to choke the life out of her. Larl fought as best she could but the lack of oxygen began to make the arena swirl, and then all went black.
Having thought she had killed the beast the red headed slut lifted to her feet, blood and sand clinging to her bodacious form as she lifted her arms over head. The crowd cheered wildly, and it was this cheering that had swarthy lashes caked with sand fluttering open. Larl could see Dominick standing in his box at the edge of the sands, hands grasping the railing looking as if he couldn’t believe what he had just witnessed. As Red pranced around the body of the beast, arms in air larl reached out and drew those silver claws across the back of the slut’s ankle, slicing her achilles tendon. Red went down, falling onto her back, and this is when Larl lifted from the sands as if rising from the dead. She looked to Red and walked over to her slowly. The crowd was in frenzy, screaming and shouting. With a glance given to her Master first, Larl went in for the kill. She ran those claws across Red’s neck just below her collar, slicing her jugular vein. The crowd went silent as Red pushed her heels through the sands for a few ahns, and then laid still. Larl lifted to stand over the body of Red, the whore who had been a thorn in her side since the day she had been stolen by the brewer.
After a full ehn of silence the crowd broke out with a roar of approval, and men rushed out to remove the dead body of the Red. Larl sauntered over to where Dominick’s box was, and dropped with splayed knees to the sand. “I hope I have made you proud, my Master,” she offered with her those blood, and sand covered globes of flesh rising and falling heavily. He didn’t say a word, but she could see just a hint of a grin at the corner of his lips.
There came a male slave running over to her, and he snapped a leash to her collar and tugged, forcing her up onto her bare feet. He led her off of the sands just as two pit slaves where entering to fight. She was brought to a pen, and he unleashed her, and told her to stay as she was until either her Master came for her, or sent instructions as to what she was to do. She stood in the pen which was beneath the arena sets, and she could hear the cheering of the crowd. A female slave approached the pen, and held out a cup of water for larl, and larl could see that her hand was shaking. She ambled over to the slave, and reached out to take the cup from her hand, and as soon as she did the slave drew her hand back swiftly.
As she drank the water it dawned on her. She would now have the reputation of being a killer. Yes, she had killed for Dominick before, but it had been a secret. Now, what she was, or could be forced to do was no longer just their secret. Undoubtedly the outcome of the fight would spread through the city like a wild fire. There would probably be offers to have her fight others, but she was not a fighting slave. No, she was just a slave who would do anything to keep her spot with her Master. If that meant killing for his amusement, then so be it.
