Meeta Nefertari, nineteen years old was eager yet nervous to prove herself tonight. Completely naked, she walked out of a tunnel into a wide pit surrounded by spectator stands above and lighted with burning torches. The arena itself was housed inside a lower section of huge mansion belonged to her master Kaa.

The stands themselves were mostly empty except for two special balconies on opposite sides. One on the left was filled with Master Kaa and his retainers while the other housed a visiting noble and his small party. The honored guest had brough a champion of his own, a slave from the northern plains, to fight Meeta in order to see who would win a wager between the two merchant princes. She hadn't seen her yet, though she heard that this former nomad is quite the beast in the fight pits.

Even so, I will win to earn more of master's favor.

  Meeta reminded herself as she waited for the match to begin. The masters had the combat rules pretty simple, no weapons, no clothes, and fight until one is knocked out or they(nobles) called a halt to it. She took a deep breath before releasing it and then noticing another naked figure coming to the pit from the opposite side. Her rival was here at last!

DragonSong

"Do this right and I'll take you out of the pits for a week."

Lani's mouth twisted sourly as her master's words replayed in her head. She dragged her feet in the tunnel, wanting to put off the fight as long as she could. But then, if she won this she'd be out of the pits, at least for a while.

A growl rose up in her chest and she scowled at nothing and everything. How had this become her life?

Then she was stepping into the pit and she forced all other thoughts from her mind, looking around the arena for her opponent. When she found her, her eyes widened and she swore softly in her native tongue.

A child, she was going to fight a child. Alright, that wasn't entirely fair- the girl looked to be only a few years younger than she was herself. But she could tell just from the way she held herself, from the determined spark in her eyes, that she'd never fought in a match like this before.

And as far as Lani was concerned that just about made her a child.

She crossed to the center of the arena, waiting for a signal to begin, hating the feeling of eyes all over her. Meeting her opponent's eyes, she hissed quietly, "You don't want to do this, chiana." It was her native word for "little girl". "Trust me. Throw the fight."

She didn't really expect the other woman to heed her warning, but at least she'd tried.

Saber-Five

Meeta met Lani's eyes defiantly. Winning favor from Kaa and eventually her own freedom was more important to her, than whatever pity this rival was showing or pretended. In fact Meeta was insulted by the offer. As for herself, she can fight and been training since as a sixteen year old youth after Kaa discovered her natural talent for it. She spit at the ground, as her answer to Lani and got into her fight stance. Master Kaa signal to a slave with a stick to bang a nearby gong.

Once it was rung, Meeta charged at the brown skinned woman, firing a fast series of fist jabs for the head area and low kicks at the legs.

DragonSong

Lani would have sighed in defeat, but she didn't have the time. The gong rang out and suddenly the girl was charging her. She spun to the side, a little surprised. She was obviously well-trained, and had the ferocity of a rabid wildcat.

Her mouth twisted into a snarl and she completed the spin, leg flying out in a kick aimed at the younger woman's ribs. Fine then; if this was how she wanted to play, she fought to win.

Saber-Five

 This fighter was no fool, the Essnryi half-breed realized when her attacks failed. It shouldn't be surprising, considering this was one of the champion fighters of the pits.

She blocked the kick with her left arm, though it still stung and shot a straight punch for Lani's face. As it is for the other fighter, Meeta played for keeps as well.

DragonSong

She managed to doge, but not quite quick enough, her opponent's fist grazing the side of her head. Snarling, she ducked under her guard and aimed two quick jabs to her torso, ears still ringing from the blow she'd barely avoided.

"Back down!" she hissed, low enough that the spectators wouldn't hear. "I don't want to hurt you, girl."

Saber-Five

She gritted her teeth both in pain and annoyance. Meeta grabbed Lani by the head and slammed her right knee into the chest and hissed back.

"Shut up! This may mean nothing to you, but I must do this."

She meant every word, no matter what she's fighting this match.

DragonSong

Well, she'd tried. Gasping in pain, she wrapped her arms around Meeta's waist and lifted her over her shoulder, tossing her into the ground.

She whirled around, panting, and sank into a defensive crouch, positive the girl wouldn't stay down for long.

Saber-Five

 Meeta fell the ground with more pain, but rolled back up. Seeing the stance, Lani had taken, the younger fighter dashed to the left side of her.

  She feint a hook punch for the chin but instead went down and spinned kick for the back of Lani's legs, in order to knock her to the ground.

DragonSong

She fell for the feint and moved too slow to avoid the kick completely, but at least she managed to take the blow on one leg instead of both. Rather than collapse, she stumbled backwards and went down on one knee.

Gritting her teeth, she leapt back to her feet and made another grab for the younger fighter, trying to get her in a chokehold.

Saber-Five

 Impressive Meeta thought with how Lani handle her attack. Yet she had no time ponder on it when the competitor came right at her.

She avoided the attempted chokehold by locking her arms with Lani's. There they stood, struggling with one another for a minute pushing back and forth. Meeta failed to remember though that Lani did had a height(by two inches) and experience advantage over her. Without a doubt, Lani was aware of this.

DragonSong

"Sorry, chiana," Lani growled, and hooked her foot around Meeta's ankles and pressing down on her from above to send them both crashing to the floor, pinning the slightly smaller girl underneath her.

Saber-Five

Grunting out in further agony, Meeta persist on despite being slammed and then pinned to the ground. Their bodies pressed togehter in continued struggle.

Meeta suddenly wrapped her legs around Lani's waist and used her strength to roll them around and grappling with the enslaved nomad for control.

DragonSong

Caught off guard, Lani threw one arm up to protect her throat and snapped her other hand out to grab the girl's hair, jerking her head back and snarling at her. She twisted, yanking Meeta's head to the side and throwing her own body up in an attempt to dislodge her.

Saber-Five

Meeta cried out upon her hair being yanked. She then found her head shoved painfully to side but kept her legs unto Lani's waist despite the attempted breakout. In anger, Meeta began pounding her fists into her foe's sides repeatly.

DragonSong

Lani shouted in pain. The sound quickly turned into a growl and with a sudden burst of adrenaline she flipped them both over so she was the one straddling the smaller girl. She drove her elbow into her opponent's stomach, face twisted in a snarl.

"I warned you, girl," she spat.

Saber-Five

Taken aback by the revesed role, Meeta barely had time as Lani dove a elbow into her torso. With the wind knocked out of her, Meeta for a few moments could only struggle to move. She met her rival's fearsome snarl with a determined expression.

She was Meeta Nefertari, a born and bred fighter, not some whore who bends and breaks to trouble like those who sleeps with her master. There was no doubt she was wholly inexperienced compare to Lani, but she still had the will to fight on until she can't no more.

Meeta suddnely slammed a right hook into Lani's jaw and used the shock of it to roll off of her fellow fighter's grasp. She fell back a few feet away, circling Lani with raised fists.

DragonSong

She swore explosively in a torrent of Common, Essryni, and her own native language. Gritting her teeth, Lani rolled into a crouch, hand brushing the floor in front of her for balance as she watched the other woman circle.

"What are you, a vulture?" she goaded, eyes narrowed. "Come on, attack me already, chiana!"

Saber-Five

Wow that last punch must really hurt, Meeta considered. To be honest, her right fist did hurt a bit as well. As she continued to circle, Meeta smirk a little bit and commented.

"What's the matter, can't do any attacks yourself?"

DragonSong

She stood and began circling the opposite direction, arms raised to either defend or attack. Smart girl. Either she knew Lani was trying to lure her into letting her guard down, or she just didn't want to be beaten at trash talk. She rather thought it was the former.

But this girl was obviously trying to impress her master. Lani was not. It didn't matter to her if they circled each other like starving dogs for the next few hours, but their owners would be getting antsy with the stalemate. She smirked, waiting for her opponent to crack.
