Welcome to Gaia! ::

Seth gradually sank to the ground breathing fairly hard at this point. She had spent a pretty good portion of her energy on that beam. Letting the electricity around her subside first, She walked over toward Maryl. "Are you... okay?"

Seth fell into Maryl's arms for a second but stood up. She was a bit shaky but standing. "My injury?" She remembered that Hrothgar had cut her across the belly earlier and felt for the injury through the hole in her tunic. Her regeneration had closed the hole but there was a long nasty scar below her navel. Seth sighed in disappointment. "I'm okay. A little pride hurt though. I failed. I needed him alive."

"Of course..." As the two of them started walking, Seth looked around. She remembered Hrothgar had a golem with him, but it was missing. She couldn't see it around the arena anywhere. Where did it go? Did it dismiss or something?

Seth shook her head. "No... Nothing's wrong." As they made their way through the southern exit, Seth looked out toward the sunset on the horizon. "Maryl, Thank you. I don't know if I could have defeated that man without your help." Seth made a gesture pointing toward the edge of the city. Off in the distance around that edge was a small grove of trees. "I know it sounds contradictory, but I only want to fight for the possibility of growing up in a peaceful world."

Obsidion stood over Hrothgar's burned body. Quietly, it picked him up, tossing him over it's shoulder, then it harvested his weapons from the floor. A faint echo of thuds sounded as Obsidion left the arena. It headed around from the northern exit, plodding south toward Noytral Klar.

Seth flew over the arena, making a quick pass in a circle around the area before landing inside the ring. She walked up to the area of the explosion and stopped.

Kel dropped in following suit but staying somewhat closer to the center of the ring. He dropped to a knee to let Maryl get down to her feet. "How fitting, a fight to the death in an arena where they don't usually allow that."

Kel cocked his head up feeling a familiar sense in the air. He raised his hands in the air in surprise before turning toward Seth and shouting across the arena. "YOU HIT HIM WITH PLASMA?!"

Seth halted her inspection of the ground and wall she had fired upon, hearing Kel's words. "YES, DAD! IT WAS AN EMERGENCY!"

"...no wonder the brute died." Kel took a quick sniff as he approached the wall Seth stood at. "...or did he?" He hurried over to the wall and inspected the scorched granite rock shards sitting on the ground at the center of the burn focus. "The hell are these?", he asked, picking up a fragment.

Seth sighed, "His armor."

Kel flicked the stone into the air. "Hmm... If you made a direct hit on him, even someone of his size wouldn't leave remains like this. Are you sure you didn't just catch him with the explosion?"

Seth threw up her arms and walked over to her father, frustrated. "What difference would that make?"

"Well if he wasn't at the center of the blast he may have just been seriously hurt instead."

Kel put his hand to his chin as he thought for a moment. "Well, that's not much of a way to determine an opponent's death. It's not too uncommon to face enemies who can suppress their power. Hell, I do it all the time... What about his minion? That big stone golem? Did it get dismissed?"

Seth looked down at her feet and shook her head. "I think so... I wasn't watching it very closely. He never used it against us."

"Hmm... That seems a little strange to leave a minion out of the fight. He probably underestimated you two greatly to do so." Makes me wonder why he took up this fight in the first place? If he truly believed they were just piddly little children, then it would have been a waste of time. Kel turned to Maryl for a second. "Maryl, did is golem give off a magical aura? Something like an animation spell?"
