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.

Today was a special day. Altizica waited for the gates to open and let him through. The entire time Altizica had a stupid smile on his face. Altizica didn’t have any special clothing on and was pretty simple with his clothes, just wearing a T-shirt and some shorts. To the untrained eye it might a looked like Altizica didn’t full comprehend the situation, or if he did he simply didn’t care.

Once the gate opened Altizica happily walked into the arena, his smile still clearly visible. Just thirty minutes prior Altizica had eaten three hundred pounds of flesh and bones so his form was in top fighting condition. Across the arena he saw his cultists scattered, all robed and masked to watch this momentous occasion. He enjoyed the thought of them cheering him but it was not important to him. In reality if everyone here cheered for Dalia and wished for his destruction he would still be fine. He was used to it after all. Altizica would speak in a strange heavily distorted voice as he seemed to pray “Ahornah soth hafh ya ng bestow ya r'luh ehye ephaii” (May the void guide me and bestow me power once again)

Dalia didn't wait for Altizica to finish whatever garbled nonsense he was saying, choosing to rush him with her spear held in a reverse grip in her hand. A probing attack. Aim at one of his legs and see how he handled a stab through the thigh.

The first thing Altizica would notice about Dalia was that she was fast. Her legs kicked her forward a dozen feet or more with each step, and her ability to turn on a dime was impeccable as she zig-zagged towards him.

As Dalia approached Altizica’s form seem to falter and eventually turn into his Eldritch form. His legs suddenly vanished, covered by an eternal black mist. His head seemed devoid of features besides one unblinking red eye. He stared down at Dalia as she got closer and let the spear through the mist. As it would penetrate the darkness Dalia wouldn’t feel as if she hit anything and Altizica would quickly act, moving his tendril arm to quickly grab the spear she held. Meanwhile his spiked arm swung down to try and impale Dalia with all the twisted spikes. “Such a dangerous weapon for a young child.” He said laughing.

Altizica's arm struck out and Dalia became a blur, leaping aside to stop from being hit by his attack. At the same time she brought the blade of her spear down at the tendril that had tried to grab it, confident that she was much faster than he was.

Altizica chuckled and let the spear impale his tendril. Using this attack to wrap around and try to yank the spear out of her grasp. Altizica certainly wasn’t fast. But he knew for a fact he was stronger, especially after eating. As a little incentive to let go Altizica swung his other arm over to Dalia in an attempt to hit her.

Dalia saw Altizica's arm swinging down on her, and she gave him the most wicked 'you fucked up' grin she could as white flames engulfed her body.

His arm fell down on Dalia and crushed her entirely, destroying her entirely. Except that two things happened simultaneously.

First, the flames that had surrounded Dalia moved and engulfed Altizica instead, leaping across his skin and doing the same amount of relative damage he had done to her. Since he had destroyed her entirely, well...

Second, one of Dalia's hands fell away from where her body was destroyed, and from this single broken piece she erupted, fully alive and unharmed, though she no longer had her spear.

The moment the flames engulfed him he knew that there was likely bad things happening. Altizica just seemed to laugh though as the flames inflicted the same damage he did to her. Altizica laughed a little and his body changed back to his human form and showed Dalia a wide stupid smile “Congrats Dalia....but not many could survive that attack you did. I’m sorry your mother couldn’t be here but tell her you kicked my ass. Maybe next time you’ll want to extend the fight? It was quite boring and stale for me. See you soon!” Altizica laughed and his body seemed to tear itself apart. The cultists were quiet but seemed unfazed by this, the quietly got up and left the arena.

Dalia held a defensive position, her arms raised to protect her head and torso. She waited for the trick. The 'aha, gotcha.' But when a minute passed and nothing came, she relaxed a bit. The announcer called out over the intercom system.
"WELL IN A RATHER ANTICLIMACTIC FINALE, IT LOOKS LIKE YOUNG DALIA TOR IS OUR WINNER! CONGRATULATIONS!!"

Dalia blinked, kind of confused for a moment. Then she broke into a grin as her friends and family erupted into applause. This was it, her moment of triumph. She threw back her head and let out a terrifying howl, part feral, girlish shrieking and part arachnid chittering.

When her initial scream died down, she turned and crossed her arms across her chest, all three sets. She saw her friends do the same and she grinned up at them as they shouted together.

"HOO HOO!"
