From the reception banquet, the participants pass through the Disperse Halo and once again their bodies are dissembled to be no heavier than molecules of air. Each one has prepared arduously for this moment and now has the opportunity to test their strength and skill against a diversity of warriors from all corners of the world. Round One has begun.

The first round’s stage has been set. Standing silent and isolated from all civilization is a coliseum in likeness of Roman architecture. Enclosing the interior are stone stands that wrap around in a full circle for spectators to look down into a pit traditionally designed to force outcastes, slaves, and prisoners into blood-sport. However, unlike the days of old, this ring will be used to honor respected warriors of all trades as they strive to prove their worth to the world.
The floor of the pit falls 30 feet from the lowest stand, its boundaries marked off by the giant wall of stone that surrounds it. However, situated nicely inside of this round stadium rises a large platform standing 25 feet high. This large block is fed by two stairways: one on the east and the other on the western edges. Its surface shimmers with a lustrous black color whose sparkle threatens to distract the eyes of the contestants under a bright sun. The stone material is known as Kachine and is recorded to be the densest substance in the known universe. From edge to edge the ring spans 50 feet and is divided into ten rows and columns of five-foot squares with a slightly indented groove running between them.

Onto this stage falls a large ring almost as large as the square ring it descends upon. This large circle of red and black energy drops at a steady pace, revealing what looks like two different sets of hair. As it reaches ever closer to the ring floor, two identifiable beings come into existence, one being the diclonius Christiania, and the other recognized as the dragon Kythe. The warriors stand 20 feet apart, each man ten feet from the center. All around them there appears to be any number of onlookers, but these figures are long since petrified stone mannequins. Their purpose would be made clear to one with magnified vision, who would notice the tiny cameras positioned where a normal person’s eyes would be. Each dummy was constructed accurately in order to for the real spectators to observe from a safe distance.

Silence rests all around the two warriors, the only two people left on Earth it would seem. Only they, their opponent, and the ring exist. The battle is underway.

Before either contestant begins, please prepare an entrance post of your own to indicate you are prepared to start and once again roll a 20 sided die via post action. Whoever rolls the higher number will be responsible for the initial fight post. All warriors are advised to keep count of the number of posts because no post after the specified limit will be considered for the tournament. One method is to include the post number every time your character makes a move. At this moment, all profiles have been pulled and will be forwarded to the judges. If at any point your character does something not clearly specified in your profile, you will be asked to edit the post or be disqualified. Good luck to you, and may the fight begin.

As usual, the amount of grace Christiania had was about as large as her foot. Keno's new form of transportation was such a drag for her. "He prolly did it to laugh at me," she thought, slightly annoyed; however, she had to admit, being klutzy, she was bound to have her humorous moments. Luckily for her no one had been watching as she materialized onto a strange platform that was slowly descending into the arena. Chrissy shrieked, but calmed instantly as she realized what was going on. As she and her opponent landed Chrissy lost her balance and tumbled forward along the hard, uncomfortable black floor until she eventually came to a stop about fifteen feet away from Kythe. In pain, the diclonius whined for a few moments before hastily standing up and hopping back to her previous distance of twenty feet. There was no reason to give her opponent an upperhand or anything like that. Speaking of ehr opponent...Chrissy narrowed her eyes to get a better look at him, and she giggled at him inwardly.

There he was. Kythe the half dragon half human standing only twenty feet away from her. Chrissy watched him carefully, her eyes slitted ever so slightly. He was who she was fighitng...he didn't seem so scary. The diclonius always imagined dragons to be all scaly and mean-looking, but he didn't look in the least like a dragon. Chrissy was, in short, a bit disappointed. Still, she smiled brightly at her opponent with a natural innocence. Actually, he was kinda cute. Ack focus!

Her next task was to simply warm up. She hadn't done so in the reception area because she had wanted to see the arena as soon as possible and get her own judgement made of it before Kythe had a chance to. Of course, she also thought she was fighitng a real dragon. Leaning forward, Chrissy stretched every muscle possible in her lower section and even some that people never knew they had. Her pale flesh glittered in the bright sun as she then began to loosen her torso muscles. The toned female felt her build comfortable yet flexed at the same time. On occassion, Christiania's muscles would flex on their own, making ehr appear a lot more dangerous than she acted.

The diclonius casted a glance over to Kythe and giggled softly, waving sheepishly in his direction. If there was one thing Chrissy didn't want to do was to make Kythe think she was a formidable opponent. The diclonius enjoyed being an underdog. It was more fun when she won. Regaining her composure, she brushed her long turqoise locks from her face, pulling them into a messy bun off the top of her head. Pieces fell all around, but none in her face exactly what she wanted. "I-I-I-I...wish you good luck, Kythe-san," she called nervously: feeling the pressure fall on her shoulders suddenly. Well, not to the extent she was pretending, but he wouldn't have been able to tell due to her distance. For all Kythe knew she was unsure and terrified just as she had been when she first arrived at Orion.
