Dalia stood at the doorway, waiting for the gate to rise and let her into the arena. She inhaled slowly, letting the air fill her lungs and ease the thrumming in her head even for a second. There was already a crowd outside. She could hear them, the murmuring. Like the roll of thunder before a storm. She gritted her teeth, her fangs bared and ready for blood. The gate lifted and she stepped out into the arena.
Her Rohai blew in the breeze, red and gold and patterned with spiderwebs. Her arms and legs were adorned with black leather and steel bracers with a matching belt around her waist. A hairband pushed her hair back top show off the jewels on her forehead. She carried a short hafted spear, simple in design.
Dalia could see them now. Her friends. Her family. A small but infinitely supportive web of people all here with a similar purpose: watch her beat ass.
Mal wasn't there, the restraining order wouldn't allow it. But she was there with Dalia in spirit. Speaking to her daughter telepathically. Once you win, we're gonna celebrate as befits our status. I love you sweetie, and I'm sorry I can't be there. Now, go bury this fool.
