The first fight started rather soon. The warrior chosen by the Grandour didn't seem to have anything special about him. He seemed quite average, as far as Eisen could tell, and the crowd didn't go as crazy about him as the old man expected. The Grandour probably planned to have the strongest and most popular fighters go last, for a perfect finale.
After inspecting the Giant Warrior, Eisen chose someone from his side that was going to be a good fit against him. He would have the Dragon Knights go last, since they were the strongest fighters that Eisen had by his side right now. That meant he still had to account for four other fights.
It was clear to Eisen that Sal, Caria, and Melissa wanted to fight as well, but none of them were particularly strong in one versus one combat. They were great against large masses, though.
I have no excuses. Quite obviously, my motivation to write this story lacked greatly.
But you can be sure that I am definitely going to finish writing this novel, that I am oh so proud of. Thank you.
