 After another minute of this, Meeta concluded that her own lure plot won't work. So it was the offensive for her again.

Meeta swiftly rushed Lani once again. She fake a few punches for the center area before jumping up in mid-air and commiting a spinning left kick, targeting for the side of Lani's head.

DragonSong

There we go. Lani knew the punches were a feint this time, she was getting better at reading the other fighter. She made a grab for her leg when she kicked out but missed. Damn the girl was fast!

Hissing in annoyance, she whirled and aimed a lunch for her sternum. "That's it, be a good dog for your master!" she spat out, iritation and adrenaline drowning out any sympathy she may have had. "Sit, come, stay, bite- what a well trained pup."

Saber-Five

Meeta grasped the area in her chest that been hit. The dog insult enraged her and in respond tackled Lani, grabbing her in a firece chokehold. This outsider had no right to judge her, since she still fighting as well despite her own protest.

The younger woman never knew what real freedom is like, it is she really wanted more than anything else. If it meant suffering and taking insults to earn her dream to be finally freed in the long run than so be it.

"Says the stubborn mule still being lead on by her rider, no matter how much she complains of the weight."


DragonSong

Lani twisted in the other woman's grip, sliding her leg back between her opponent's knees and using the leverage to turn them both sharply and toss the slightly smaller girl over her shoulder again.

She couldn't quite manage it, and instead they both crashed to the ground. She used the moment of surprise to free herself from the chokehold though, rolling away and springing back to her feet, fists raised.

Saber-Five

The latest action by Lani, did catch her off guard. Completely dazed, Meeta began to force herself back up to her feet.

She was about to raise her head back to eye level, but she was opened for another attack by Lani.

DragonSong

She sprang forward, aiming a sharp jab for her opponent's throat. She just needed to knock her out, cutting off her air supply should help with that.

Her other hand swung into a fierce uppercut with no finesse and all raw power.

Saber-Five

Meeta was able at the last second to parry the jab for her neck, using the left arm. Yet she failed to stop the uppercut that slammed into her face. Blood sped from her mouth as she stagger back from the brutal impact.

Meanwhile Lani's master, who can clearly see that his slave was trying to end the fight early called out to her.

"Continue or you will not gain your reward."

If Lani still wanted that week-long break from the fight pits, she will not only need to defeat Meeta but toy with her for as long as possible until her master was satisfied. If the noble even see another sign of her going easy on the girl, Lani will suffer after this is over.

DragonSong

Lani gritted her teeth, falling back a bit. She shot a glare into the stands, taking her mind off the fight for a brief moment.

Damn him.

Growling, she lunged forward again, snapping out a kick that caught Meeta in the ribs and threw her back. She followed that blow with two swift punches to her diaphragm, not giving the girl a moment to recover.

Saber-Five

The torture that followed from Lani's next attacks was overwhelming. Meeta screamed out again upon being kicked in the ribs and fell back to the ground. She grunted when struck twice in her lower area. Meeta rolled away and tried to get up once more, but she could raise up to her right knee.

Kaa, her owner, could only watch on as the girl he raised almost like a daughter, took this punishment. A part of him wanted stop this fight but if he did, Kaa knew he would be seen as soft on his human pet by his guest who will no doubt spread the word around the community.

Though he did cared somewhat for Meeta, his status in society was more important than her well being. Beside this will toughen the young slave for the next time she fought.

DragonSong

Lani was a blur, darting around the other woman and delivering quick, sharp blows with fists and feet. Eventually she grabbed her from behind, wrapping one arm around her neck and pinning the younger fighter's arms to her sides with the other.

"Last chance, chiana," she hissed. "Yield." Her grip on her throat tightened.

Saber-Five

Meeta endured even in the face of this agonizing onslaught of punches and kicks. She clomped down her teeth together, when her neck was gripped tightly in a headlock by Lani. She couldn't use her arms due to them being pinned to the side.

Struggling to breath at this point, Meeta was still able to hear her rival whispered the word yield to her.

"I...can't...do that...must prove myself....for...me."

She meant every word of it. At this point, Meeta doubted she could win, but her goal now was to take this punishment. She wanted everyone here especially herself to know she will perist until finally and completely beaten, so no one will see her as a weakling.

Lani's master looked over to Kaa with a questioning expression and with a heavy heart, Kaa nodded. With this approval, the visiting merchant prince called out.

"Don't finish yet Lani. Get Meeta up and keep testing that will of hers to endure."

DragonSong

She gritted her teeth, having half a mind to tell him that if he wanted to test the girl so badly he could very well get into the damn pit and do it himself.

It was the first time she'd heard someone say Meeta's name aloud, and her stomach rolled as her opponent became more of a person. Damnit. She jerked away, shoving the younger woman forward onto her knees and circling around to her front.

"You've got heart, I'll give you that," she said, quiet enough that only the two of them could hear. Sighing, she sank back into a crouch. Gods forgive me for this... She came cone on her like a thunderclap, hands as rigid as knives as she brought them down on the back of her neck.

Saber-Five

 
When brought up to her knees, Meeta stared at Lani with gratitude when praised for her courage. Blood poured from her lower lip ad she hang onto her consciousness. When she noticed Lani getting into a conch, she realized what was coming. Meeta's bruised body screamed for her to take this last blow and end it.

Yet the fighter inside of her, refused to take the easy way out. With her last bit of adrenaline, she used both arms to block the attack for her neck and then shot out a straight kick into Lani's gut. With a battle cry, she pressed her advantage and unleashed a furry of fierce punches, aiming for the upper body area.

There was no doubt she will lose soon with her remaining stregnth fading rapidly, but right in this very moment, Meeta Nefertari never felt so alive.

DragonSong

Lani grunted in surprise and pain, staggering back. But she recovered quickly. Masters be damned, this ends now.

Gasping as she forced her batted body to obey her, she darted under Meeta's guard and delivered a punch to her gut that had the weight of her whole body behind it. "Sorry, chiana," she muttered, sweeping her leg around to knock the younger woman to the ground.

She stood over her, panting, bruised, and bloody, and waited. Was it over?

Saber-Five

The punch into her gut, stopped Meeta in her tracks and she screamed out in reaction, feeling the full impact of it. That blow along with being sweep off her feet finally brought Meeta down. She fell on her back hard to the ground.

She laid there with her eyes looking up, tears swell up within them, and she muttered to herself.

"I did it."

Finally the half-breed slave finally into unconsciousness. Both masters were stunned and impressed with the final display of both fighters that they signal its end by clapping their hands in approval. Kaa gave his own inquisitive expression to his counterpart before getting a nod. Then he finally spoke.

"Well done. Both of you have earned rest for yourselves. As a sign of my good will Lani, you and Meeta can have one of the guest rooms together as you all recover. Medical care, food, drink, and any other desires will be taken care of at my expanse during the recovery."

He looked with pleading eyes to Lani to accept this offer and not fire back any insults. Such action which would force him cause to give back the offer to save face, in front of his visitor and let the victor be punished by her own master. Both slaves had suffered enough, he hoped Lani would hold her infamous tongue, at least for this moment.

DragonSong

"You-!"

She started to shout, to rail at him, but then her eyes fell on the unconscious girl at her feet. If it had just been her well-being at stake, she wouldn't have held back.

But this was her fault. She owed the other woman this much.

She gritted her teeth and bowed her head. "Thank you for your...generous offer," she replied, stumbling over the wording. She'd never really had to express such a sentiment in Essyrni.

Saber-Five

The other master had to hold himself in check from chuckling with delight at this humbling display by Lani. With a pleased expression, he remarked in a smug tone.

"This was an interesting evening. Lani grab the girl and take her with you. Your new quarters awaits."

DragonSong

Biting her tongue, Lani knelt and scooped Meeta up easily, going as she was directed.

Some day, she thought fiercely, I'm going to beat that smirk off his face.

Saber-Five

Once Lani left the arena carrying her fellow fighter, she was directed to one of the guest rooms nearby. It had two large beds with bright silk covers in one corner. Trays of food and wine were held a by large table near the beds. In the center of the room was a middle sized pool of warm water prepared for them. Considering that water is held sacred in Essryn, this was a rare honor to have.

In the back was an opened balcony, revealing the star filled sky. Once they entered inside, a staff of slaves specialized in healing took Lani to the left bed and the still knocked out Meeta to the other. Once they were situated, the healers began to patch up both fighters. They used special oil to heal the bruised skins, though it stung a bit and parts of their bodies that were injured were being wrapped in bandages.

DragonSong

Lani jerked away from every touch, unaccomsted to such care after years in the pits. Gradually though, she settled enough to not lash out at the healers every time they came near her.

"The girl," she grunted as she was patched up, wincing. "She gonna be alright?" She couldn't quite see the other bed, and coming down from the high of the fight her concern was starting to surface.
