A few moments after they woke up, the girls heard the sound of footsteps coming down stairs, growing closer each step.  They stopped just long enough for a door to open nearby, and a moment later a tall, muscular man came into view, followed by another man almost completely hidden inside a hooded cloak.  "Well, looks like your sleeping spell finally wore off," the large man said. "Welcome, ladies, to our little arena.  You've been... selected to fight for your freedom.  Win enough fights here, and you'll be free to go back to your kingdoms," he continued.  He paused to give the girls a grin before turning to walk away.  "Your first match is tomorrow.  Better get a good rest..." he laughed.<br/><br/>The man in the cloak, however, went further down the hall and through another door.  He returned soon after, carrying two large bowls.  "Best eat after sleeping so long," he said as he slid a bowl into each cell through a small gap in the bars.  As he got close, the girls could see that the bowls were full of some kind of gruel, thankfully still warm.  Fortunately, the bowls were close enough for the girls to just barely reach them.
