Fight

As the guards lead him deeper into the fortress, Kaze steels himself, his mind already formulating a plan, a glimmer of hope amidst the all-consuming darkness that surrounds him. For now, he must bide his time, observe, and wait for the perfect opportunity to strike. The path to freedom may be shrouded in uncertainty, but Kaze is determined to walk it, no matter the cost., The guards usher Kaze through a set of heavy iron doors, leading him into a vast, arena-like chamber. The space is dimly lit, the air thick with the stench of sweat and the metallic tang of blood. Kaze's eyes widen as he surveys the scene before him, his heart sinking with a sense of dread.

All around him, captives are being forced to fight one another, their cries of anguish echoing off the cold, unyielding walls. The guards shove Kaze into the center of the ring, their gruff voices barking a simple command: "Fight, or face the consequences."

Kaze's gaze darts from one terrified prisoner to the next, his mind reeling with the weight of this impossible choice. To fight would be to betray his own moral code, to become complicit in the suffering of those who share his captivity. Yet, to refuse would undoubtedly invite swift and brutal retribution from his captors.

Conflicted, Kaze stands his ground, his fists clenched at his sides as he struggles to find a path forward. The other prisoners eye him warily, their expressions a mix of fear and desperation. Kaze can sense their trepidation, the unspoken plea for him to spare them from this senseless violence.
