"What will I do now?" I asked no one in particular with a mixed thought.
"There is nothing you can do just hope luck is on your side and you are allowed to fight with someone as weak as you" She replied.
"Let's continue training" She added but throughout the training, I was not consecrating, my mind was not at peace.
I do learn a few things but I am darn worried.
It got to the time we had to do our shore and I was surprised Zoey was part of the group I was joined with.
We do the cleaning together and every other work and also eat at the same table. The dining table was as long as something I couldn't explain and every single slave was eating there.
I looked at the food and I suddenly lost my appetite, who knows if this is how I will end my life, in a strange land.
"You better eat, you need the strength from the food at the fall of the bright Atmosphere (evening)" She said after seeing I was not touching my meal.
I forced myself to eat and even though I couldn't finish eating, I took the water that looked neater than the water in my Land and gulped it down my throat in one go.
Time passed and I was getting even more afraid.
Just like Killer Sage said.
The slave master entered where we were all staying and said.
"There will be a Death fight between two of the newbies that joined you yesterday at the fall of the bright atmosphere," He said.
"And you are only two that came yesterday".
"I wish you bad luck on your Death fight" He finally added and walked away while I breathed in.
Killer Sage walked to where I am sitting with Zoey and said.
"What's your name?".
"I thought you got your way of finding out about slaves' names" Zoey replied back for me.
"I guess I was to hear it from the horse's mouth" He replied coldly.
"I am Golime," I replied back in a worried tone.
"Who named you that?" He asked, like the hell, what sort of question is that.
"My mother," I replied anyway
"She sure named you well" He replied coldly as always.
"When you get to the death ring. Remember one thing, my father was defeated yesterday, I must not be today" He replied and walked off.
How he knew about the death of my father should not really surprise me, who knows maybe there are rumors about it going on and I am in no good state of mind to ask him that.
"Who is he?" I suddenly asked a question. I never expected to come out of my mouth.
"I don't really know, I am new here. I was just made to understand that I should pray I am not paired in the ring with him even though it rarely happens but if Mr Hudson goes crazy then it may happened" She replied saying the go crazy silently since Slaves are around.
"I also heard he has spent a twenty years as a slave here," She added.
"Did he always fight?" I asked.
"No, not really. He fights once in a while and mostly against other slaves from other house" She replied and I understood what she meant by other houses.
"Will you stop asking me this question Golime, I am just two weeks old here" She replied with a funny angry expression and I was forced to chuckle.
"If I die today. I won't die without making a point out of my opponent" I said suddenly summoning the little courage I have.
"That's the spirit... Go into the ring and show the Rascal, who owns the ring" She said and I stood up.
"It is time to proceed to the battlefield" Killer Sage announced and we all moved.
I got to the battlefield and the first thing I saw was Mrs Hudson with her husband with so much anger in me, they were busy greeting, laughing and smiling with other Fallen Angels.
"Now, the fighter should proceed into the ring" A Fallen Angel who is not that privileged announced.
I got into the ring and waited patiently for my opponent.
Just then a Demon walked into the ring and she was looking fiercely, while I just maintained a straight face hidden my fear at the back of my mind.
Suddenly the sound of a beaten drum could be hard and after a while it died down.
I looked up at the Fallen Angels that are looking at us watching us kill ourselves for pleasure sake and I looked back at my opponent.
"Here before us is Golime and Josie and they are about to show us the best entertainment in the Under Heaven". Like seriously, I thought in my mind
"We are honoured to have you here Queen Nora and Prince Caleb and here is our welcoming party" The director of the fight said bowing down and I don't even care to look at them
"One, two, attack!" He yelled.
Josie dashed at me very fast and attacked me, I was fast to see that coming and blocked it with one of my swords.
She actually grew a sword from her two hands. Just as I was about to launch a counter attack, she blocked it and gave me a deadly kick with her knee and I staggered back.
I tried to attack back but she got rid of one of the swords in my hand with a kick and struck me on that same hand.
She dashed at me and slayed me again as blood was dripping from my body.
Just as I made an attempt to strike her with the sword that is on my other hand, she kicked it away and kicked me hard on my heart as I stumbled to the floor, this is definitely the end of me.
Just as I tried to stand up she grabbed me by my neck as she had successfully withdrawn one of her hand swords to a hand.
She stabbed me with the other idle sword hand and withdrew back and stabbed me again on my stomach as blood was dripping from it.
She smiled evilly at me with a wicked grin as everybody watched on, I looked at Zoey and she was looking at me with a straight stare straight at my eyes.
Father, the little girl you tried to save from the Devil's guard is coming to meet you very soon, the same way I hope my mummy is with you there is the same way I hope otherwise.
"Time to see your end" She said, stabbing me again as she licked it.
She brought her hand close to my neck and just as she was about to slay me, something happened.
