The central chamber, where the portal to the plane of fire was located, is currently empty. A neutral ground, when it's open, people tend to stay away, when the portal's closed, since the room is fairly inhospitable to those not immune to fire, and not terribly suitable for those who are.<br/><br/>Nothing in the room moves, to indicate that his opponent has arrived, but Draiss gets the feeling anyway. When he glances towards the slight disturbance in the airflow that likely triggered his senses, he spots an almost perfectly midnight-black, humanoid figure, outlined by the black cave mouth only because it's a deeper, more featureless darkness, aside from the small, red eyes, that glint in the flames of the chamber Draiss is residing in.<br/><br/>That happens to be all the warning he gets, before the figure moves, with blinding speed, hurlign itself across the cavernous floor, towards him.
