Tales In Omos: Chapter 15 - The Kobold and The Goliath
The tournament at the Colosseum was well underway. Lia, Sekarr and Thia were waiting in the training area, weighing up the competition seeing who they would need to face off with. Sekarr desperately searched to see if his nemesis, the man who murdered his family, Savarious was there. He found nothing. The Red Mantis met with the group and offered them weapons that Genlen and Koruel had bought them, and Tyloris offered to join the first round of the tournament too.
The four of them entered the arena for the first round of fighting. Magic was banned in the match, and Thia attempted a cheeky spell to get the upper hand, but this move was noticed by the judges and she was disqualified. She left the arena and sat with Genlen and Koruel who were watching in the audience. The three of them kept an eye out for suspicious behaviour, fearing an attack from the Order would arrive soon... nothing… But they did spy some suspicious cloaked men, Genlen and Koruel left to pursue them, and Thia stayed behind in case something bad happened here.
The 1st round was over and Lia, Sekarr and Tyloris were through to the next round. Sekarr and Lia spoke together in the training room and were met by Karr-Lara and Zykarr. Two Kobold from Sekarr's old tribe. The two were angry and bitter towards Sekarr since he had left the tribe, but he told them he had a higher purpose, to hunt the man who killed his family, Karr-Lara and Zykarr informed Sekarr they had the same mission now too. Savarious had returned and decimated the numbers of the Boneclaw and rival Bloodclaw clans. The tribes had now joined to stop Savarious and they asked Sekarr to also join them in stopping Savarious.... Sekarr declined saying he would do it with his new family, the Ravens, but he would help his tribe if they needed him.
Lia, Sekarr, Karr-Lara and Zykarr entered the arena for the final round, as did Tyloris, the muscular and powerful White Tiger, the equally imposing Iron Bear, Lugan a member of the Meejay council and the Colosseum Champion, who seemed to enter the arena in some sort of a daze ... and finally entering the arena was, Savarious. The Kobold's knew what they had to do... but Sekarr felt a new kinship to his friend Lia. Yes he had to put a stop to his nemesis... but he also had to protect her, and so he would. The fight began.
Thia realised the spell Lugan seemed to be under was also affecting members of the audience, they rose from their seats in an attempt to break people out of whatever was controlling them, but it was too late, Savarious roared screaming 'Hail The Order!' and the brainwashed crowd rose in unison and began attacking civilians. Explosions filled the air and hordes of ships baring the Order symbol streamed in from the sea. Koruel, Genlen and the Red Mantis raced towards the city to hopefully help save innocent lives and stop The Order. In the city they found Oriana controlling powerful elemental creatures that were laying waste to the city. They fought her and her Elementals, but she was far too strong, and Weylan, one of The Red Mantis was slain. Oriana halted her onslaught on Koruel and Genlen, lent over to Koruel and whispered something to him. Koruel feel to his knees in tears. Genlen was unsure of what was happening, but knew one thing, the city was in ruin and the Order could not be stopped, they had won this battle today. Oriana left the city.
Back in the arena Lia defeated the brainwashed Lugan and the Kobolds fought hard against Savarious. Lia aided them but was brutally beaten by Savarious. Sekarr stepped in to protect her, but he too was hurt and close to death. He fired countless arrows at his nemesis, each missing due to his fatigue, he tried but Savarious was just too powerful. Savarious raised his hammer to strike Lia, but Sekarr taunted him and his attention shifted, Sekarr had bought enough time for Lia to get to safety. Sekarr looked Savarious in his eyes and said, 'You may have taken my family, but at least now I can save this new one' And with that, Savarious raised his hammer, slamming it towards Sekarr, and with a powerful thud... Sekarr was no more.
