Gabriel
David and Damien sat inside a round shaped arena filled with frozen mud and some large rocks surrounding the outside area of the arena, the Arena was made of a mixture of stone and steal but mostly appeared to be Wooden.
David and Damien had been sitting in the private viewing point and other important folk would have to sit and watch later on once the event had begun,The House Brass Sigil had been placed over David and Damien's heads and placed across the arena.

David Chuckled to himself and turned to Damien, David: "This shall be a grand event Brother", David turned to Damien with a grin across his face, David: "Have the warriors been informed of the rules once again of this battle for survival, also tell my guardsman to clear anybody that croaks in the tournament" David had said dismissively to Damien, there had been a cold wind in the air as Damien sigh deeply and turned to David.
Damien: "I'm not questioning you because I understand why your doing this but", Damien bit his lip tapped his chin before he had continued "We are already on thin ice with allowing slavery back into The Horn Hills but this, "Public death allowed in a tournament" Damien shook his head sounded worried,

"Once the wars in the north are done Lord Marshall or Lord Nathaniel will-" Damien had been cut off by a hard slap to the back of his head by David and David sighed. David: "Your a fool if you think I fear the higher class The Lords Of The Witherlands, "Let them come and be beaten before they even have a chance to reach our Islands, They will be beaten on the sea like a grand killer whale by a whale hunters spear, our grand fleet is hole once again they won't risk another war after claiming the Witherlands".

David Chuckled as he looked down from his arena as Damien held the back of his head, David: "Who ever wins that block of ice isn't my worry, my mind is on The Horn Hills growing stronger and we need stronger warriors and this" David chuckled to himself "This is the way to prove it no weapons besides your body and mind"

David turns to Damien "Let the Crowds in soon and get my guardsmen hurry", David said firmly Damien nodded to his Brother and set off with the tasks given to him, as David had been left alone with his thoughts.
Once Damien had let the crowds in the grand arena and then had informed the guardsmen about David's orders, Damien slowly approached the waiting area for the 7 warriors to arrive as Thorod Lockbeard had been already been there waiting with his arms crossed and then Thorod looked down at Damien, Thorod: "The smiths better be able to get that armour to fit me" Damien just had shook his head and waited for the rest of the women and men to arrive .

Edmund Silverstep, the Witherlands
The Shores of River Eilen


With another encouraging grumble, Edmund would limp closer to the comforting lights of Trandon - a town bustling with trade. Finally, he thought, he'd get to see some lively faces of sane people! It helped him move forth, practically pushing through the pain of his now open wound towards the river's town.

Suddenly, he felt weak, the pain in his thigh spiking immensely... It broke up his pace, forcing him to the ground and into the deep snowdrifts below. He yelled out in frustration and sorrow, knowing that the safety and warmth of an inn was right there - he needed a simple push to get to it. But his leg didn't obey him as it used to, oozing blood and colouring the snow around him into a dark, crimson tone.

His howl stayed unheard.. He went unnoticed, waist-deep in bloody snow. Trapped before ever reaching the docks. But he couldn't die like this! In a desperate attempt of trying to survive the freezing low temperatures, he began to crawl to his destination, forcing himself through heaps of snow, dead branches and wooden stumps. His vision was going blurry...

Lumikki Eisenhald, Horn Hills

Lumikki shuddered as she stood up and exlaimed, "I should get going. It should be beginning rather soon." She said with a draught expression. Lumi stood up as the wolf circled her feet she walked out the door, waving to her old friend a smile clearly seen under her bandana. 

A few hours of travel had brought her to the arena. She said not a word and pulled her hood over her head, staying in the shadows as she neared the three men.

Nirvana Airenfield, Horn Hills

Nirvana stands up, warm enough to move around. "Well, ill come with. I cant be here all alone before my friend gets slaughtered." She joked. 
She went with Lumi for the good hours that they walked, Her telling her more of her own stories. Seeing the men, She quiet down herself.

**Joseph Everard, the Witherlands**
**Wilderness**

Joseph slowly came to after maybe two hours. He saw the woman next to him, and sort of freaked. His hand went to where his axe normally was, but it came loose when he had the attack. It lay across the snow, maybe 10 feet away. Knowing he was helpless, and having his crossbow still in his pack, he rested his head against the snow in defeat.

"Who are you?"

Mallory Matronis, The Witherlands
Wilderness

She put a hand over his head, watching over and checking some of his vitals by applying some pressure with her fingers over his neck before she responded to him, so that she was sure he was safe.

"My name is Mallory, of the house Matronis. I was searching through the area when I suddenly saw you convulsing on the floor. Your in luck that I was trained in the arts, otherwise you might be in an even worse condition now."
Diana
**Joseph Everard, the Witherlands**
**Wilderness**

He flinched when she touched his neck. It was clear he hadn't been having a good time lately, but he eventually relaxed once he realized what she'd done.

"Thank you ma'am." I said in my deep voice. "I am in your debt."
William

"Not a problem at all. I didn't choose to go and become a physician just so I could get money out of it, I did it because I wanted to help people in need of help, like you. Though, I would suggest that you get yourself some better lodging, the cold out here isn't the best place to be. I'll also be needing my heated packs back. They were used to warm you, but I wouldn't want to come across another traveler like you, and not have the equipment, right?"
Diana
**Joseph Everard, the Witherlands**
**Wilderness**

He just now seemed to notice the packs and sort of sheepishly handed them back. 

"Yes. Sorry. I'm camping out here until I reach a town." It sort of occurred to him that this might not be the best idea anymore. 

"What... What do I do if it happens again?" The big man's bloodshot eyes showed genuine fright. He had always been in control of his life, and something of this nature terrified him, where he had no say in what his body did.

She stored the packs back in her storage bag to keep them with her.

"Well, do you know what might have caused your symptoms? I believe that it may have been put forth by some form of raw food you ate. So, first your going to want to make sure you cook your meat, but if it does happen again and you have no control you should notify yourself based on your symptoms and retreat to somewhere safe. Your biggest problem there was that you were cold, in a cold area. What your going to want is to be in a warm area when it strikes."

She used her hands to try to calm the man down, making calming motions

"I don't know, really. Maybe it was the deer I hunted yesterday. But I cooked it... I don't know." *He shakes his head.*

"How far is the nearest town? I'm looking for work, and I need to get to one."
William
Mallory Matronis, The Witherlands
Wilderness

Mallory took a few steps back, and offered him a hand to help himself up, but she hoped he wouldn't just use her as she wouldn't be strong enough

"Sure, I'll lead you over to it. You'll probably want to sling your arm over me. I don't know how ready you are to walk around freely yet."
Diana
**Joseph Everard, the Witherlands**
**Wilderness**

He took the proffered hand gratefully, but got to his feet mostly by himself. He kind of just did it so he wasn't rude towards her. He did detest the fact that he possibly couldn't walk. Hell, he'd been a lumberjack for 10 years and he was strong enough for that.

"Thank you Ms. Matronis... However I think I can walk on my own," He said as he staggered to his feet, and disguised the moment of weakness by leaning against a tree. He slowly walked over to his axe buried in the snow and strapped it to his belt. He did everything carefully because he wasn't sure if another attack would come on suddenly.
William
Mallory Matronis, The Witherlands
Wilderness

She walked over to him and took him by the hand.

"I'm sure, but you could at least hold a pretty girls hand as you walked into town right?"

It was definitely a trick to get him to accept taking some help, even at a minimum level from her. She didn't want to see the man begin to fall down and hurt himself as he began to go try and go back to town.
