Lith's opponent had the appearance of a brute. He was a man at least two meters (6'7") tall, with long black hair and beard. His muscular body reminded Lith that of a professional wrestler.
Unbeknownst to Lith, his opponent was a vampire named Zarran. He was Kaelan's blood spawn and one of his favorites. His grey eyes moved quickly from Lith to the Lich while waiting for the start signal.
Usually, Zarran would disregard such formalities, but since the referee was capable of turning him into a memory with just a thought, the vampire decided to stick to the rules. Or better, the rule.
Once Inxialot clapped his hands, there were none. The rattle of bones and rings was his cue. Even if they weren't Awakened, vampires could use air and darkness in their true magic form. Zarran took off, darting toward his opponent like a falcon on its prey.
