Speaking With: Anna and all those in the Arena
Speaking With: Anna and all those in the Arena
Donovan listened to her report as he opened the mail she had brought him. Several letters regarding deliveries and economics, and two addressed to him personally from other members of his organization. He read them briefly and nodded after he had cracked the encryptions. “You don’t need to curtsy by the way.” He said as he read the short letter from one of his contacts in Rochford.
Kelevra was ready for the Trial it seemed, well that was good. “Join me for the Placement Trial.” He rose from his desk and headed to the Arena with Anna at his side and slightly behind. As they passed through the hallways he pulled a servant aside and said, “Tell the Lead Matron the Headmaster demands her presence in the viewing platform of the Arena.” The servant nodded and headed off to convey his instructions.
When he arrived he found the boy Prince prepared with his blunted weapons. He looked confident, but there was a wariness about him that Donovan could plainly see. The Lead Matron came up on his side and stood next to him, clearly trying to convey they were on equal footing. Quite a few instructors had come to watch this Placement, ones he wanted to convey a message to.
Without warning he lashed out with his hand and grabbed the Lead Matron by the throat while simultaneously stabbing her with a dagger. As blood spilled onto the platform he looked around at the people gathered and spoke. “I will not tolerate insubordination. This whore attempted to undermine my authority, she is being removed from her position. I am here to restore the standards that are expected of this school and will do so. Rest assured, any wrong doing or resistance will be punished severely. This is your one and only warning.” He saw shocked faces everywhere and a few instructors removed themselves from his sight. He squeezed his hand on her throat and crushed her larynx. He tossed her body over the side and the Arena servants carried the body away.
Without missing a beat he gestured with a hand and a horn was sounded, “Begin the Placement Trial.”
