Am I going to die?

"Okay, okay enough you win, please just let me go! You've proved your point." he pleads, not knowing what else to do. He looks at him as he towers above him with his sword in hand.

"In a duel of 2 warriors, the one who loses dies." he replies. Not seeing a good reason to keep him alive.

To Jake fighting was all that he knew, so a challenge to him was something that could make him stronger, he only offers a duel to anyone he finds particularly strong, but he generally rarely gets into one due to the limited strength possessed by his peers. Realizing the underlying strength Orchid had he wanted to test it out, but he has no intention of teaching him, so to him if he can't pull out all that hidden power now, he was worthless.

"Does it look like I am a barbarian? We don't fight we just learn about trees" he refutes.

"Barbarian?" ignoring everything he said after.

"So not only did you make a mockery out of this duel but you deride my kind too ...and you ask me for mercy?" he raises his voice in annoyance.

"You can't kill me, it's against the law even for you!" he shouts back trying his best to make him let him go. It was against the law in the country to kill another but there were many cases where these laws were easily undermined with excuses of demons being the cause or it being a required sacrifice. The victims being the healers a lot of the times.

"And who is gonna ask for you?" he sounds

"I have got family you sick fuck!" filled with outrage

"If I tell them a demon got you, would anyone say otherwise?" Orchid was shocked by his claim, knowing it would do well as a reason of his death and no further questions asked.

'Is that is what to becometh of me?' By this time all the color from his face had been flushed out.

"Okay, what do you want me to do? What do you need me to do? Anything, just tell me, please" he begs with tears gushing down his face.

"There's nothing you can offer me, anything you have is useless to me." Jake spits on the ground after jamming his foot into Orchid's stomach.

"Even you are worthless..." he says taking steps towards the gate.

"I guess what they say is true, about you people, even shields are more useful in battle..." Orchid bites his lower lip until blood streaks down his chiseled jaw.

"This is why I hate those bastards..." he mumbles while curling up wiping his tears profusely.

As the blond leaves the arena, Orchid stands up struggling as he is submerged in pain.

'Why did he have to do all of this for?' he gets mad, if there was even a reason to back his actions he wouldn't be this angry but there was absolutely nothing, there have never even communicated before this so why. He grits his teeth at the thought of the blond wanting revenge.
