Dressed as before, the man in the cravat stepped up to the edge of the Emperor's box. He held his smile, eyes scanning the audience and the combatants below him.

"Welcome to the first of too many fights. To start us off, Maximilien Robespierre and Oliver Day will engage in mortal combat, without the health bars. They have until the hourglass runs out to kill each other."

The man picked up the hourglass and turned it over so the sand was at the top. It held perfectly still despite gravity, waiting for its cue.

"It isn't a fair fight, but I think you've all realized by now: we don't fight fair." The man clasped his hands together. "Let the fights begin."

And the first grain of sand fell.

"He did. Why?" Damon asked curiously. He didn't intend to watch the next match himself; one was more than enough.

"Just curious." Brax finished off his champagne and set the glass down. "Keep me updated." And with one last look at the arena, where Oliver died, where others soon would pass, Braxiatel disappeared.
