A knight's adventure (for Kylethefox)

[Salazar Hotel]

The crowd was louder than ever. The arena was packed this year, and it was difficult to sneak in. Luckily Kyle and Varys, who was Kyle's best friend, knew about the slightly cracked wall that had a hole just big enough for the two of them to crawl through. Varys were able to make it to the middle section of the arena. Trying to get front row seats would be too risky, as nobles tended to have that area reserved and they may run into a guard asking to see your ticket. The middle seats were crowded and provided anonymity. It was also provided a decent enough view of the tournament. The middle and top sections didn't have assigned seating; they were designed more like areas for the masses to watch. Even though there were a few benches, most of them were old and broken. A few people had brought their own wooden stools to sit or stand on and fathers had their children on their shoulders so they could see. They arrived just when the pre-tournament ceremonies were about to start. Music was being played…there was also dancing and horse tricks providing entertainment to the crowd.

Kyle found the pre-tournament events to be…

(hehe putting you in the spot)

[Night Kyle]

kyle rather enjoyed the pre-tournament ceremonys, but he new the real action was after, but he was pretty patient and waited for the dancing and tricks to be over, so the fun could start!

[Salazar Hotel]

After several minutes, a horn blasted to signify the first match was about to begin. Walking in were two teams, each wearing garbs and shields from their respective house. The team on the left have sigils of Griffins with white and black colored patterns while the team on the right has sigils of Horses dressed in brown colors. They are about to do combat with wooden swords, clubs, and staffs. Varys decided it would be a good time to make a bet with Kyle. A game they often played with each other even though they knew neither of them had the coin to pay the other. Varys was kind of enough to let Kyle take first pick of the teams.

Kyle chose…

A. The left team (Griffins)

B. The right team (Horses)

[Night Kyle]

(B)


"hmm" kyle thought for a bit, then he decided, "im gonna go with horses! they look like the winning team!" kyle cheered them on and grinned at vary!

[Salazar Hotel]

Another horn sounded, and the men from the right side, the Horses, charged. Varys noticed the left side, the Griffins, charged as well, but they were much more organized and made sure they stayed close together. They soon formed a semi-circle the enemy. When the right side charged one of the eager aggressors ran further up ahead then his comrades. He soon engaged in combat with the left defenders and found himself surrounded. He was quickly put down. The fighting continued until only the one side remained standing, which happened to be the left side, or the Griffins. Two of their men had fallen, but all in all they were mostly intact. A few watchers booed, this certainly was one of the quicker arena battles the kids had seen, usually it was chaotic with men having individual duels all throughout the arena. People often wanted to make a name for themselves, as this was the most common way to get into the single matches. It seems the left team decided to use a different strategy instead. Kyle found the Griffins team to be…

A. Smart for using an alternative strategy

B. Boring for the battle ended too quickly

C. Smart, but also foolish as they would probably not be re-invited to compete again

[Night Kyle]

(C)

"ugh, how did THEY win?? they probably wont be here next time.." kyle sat back and crossed his arms, then he looked over to vary

[Salazar Hotel]

Vary smirked as the other team won,and nudged Kyle,"say kyle...heh you lost right...you remember what we bet on?",the arena was being cleaned up at the moment so tehy had a little time to their bet if they-actually Vary- so wished to do so.

[Night Kyle]

kyle got a bit nervous, and he waited to see what vary was going to do..

[Salazar Hotel]

vary smirked and signaled him over to the outside where virtually no people were going to be and sat on a bench,patting his lap,smirking.

[Night Kyle]

kyle whimpered a little "d-dont go so hard, o-ok?" he slowly bent over varys lap and looked back at him
