The voice sounded not only emotional but also familiar to Sol.
Everyone stared at Raith, who placed his queen down on the floor and unsheathed his blade.
"Who speaks here!?" Ceriron exclaimed at that moment.
Raith slowly raised his head at the old Magistrate Lord, his eyes almost void of all emotion.
"Who am I?" Raith paused.
Everyone in the coliseum waited in anticipation to learn of this curious figure.
"I am first and foremost a failure of a man. I am a shameful coward who could not act on his feelings." A somber tone spread through the crowd.
He then continued, "However... failure is what brings about learning in a man. And now... I know that I have made the wrong decision." He finally looked down at Sol.
