Two weapons clanged. A sturdy long stick with a large mace on top was swayed aside by a strong female warrior. She dug her heel into onto the dusty surface, scowling at her opponent. With her short reddish hair and a menacing yell, she trusted her chain mace towards a tall girl with a long pointy tail and protruding fangs.
The pretty demon-looking girl barely dodged her attack, throwing her body to the ground of the arena. The audience behind the flimsy fence roared and cheered in a frenzy. They were packed tight around the rocky walls, thirsting for blood.
The fallen girl heaved, holding her weapon tight. Standing up, she narrated, "Someone once joked 'Go to Heaven for the climate, Hell for the company'. Only fools can believe this to be true."
Her opponent cackled with a smirk, ready for another attack.
"Do you want to know what it's like down here? Well, let me tell you.”
Moving into the defensive position, the girl growled, exposing her fangs. She let out a battle cry as their metal weapons met with a loud clang.
“And it all started with my death.”
The woman in question entered this world as a very old and very ill woman. The woman died peacefully surrounded by her loved ones. She had led a good life and was a kind person, or so it would seem.
