The True Fight

Aliana could not believe that she had made it through the first round. She finally had a chance to grant her deepest wish. All she had to do was defeat her next opponent.

When she found herself in the waiting area before the first match, she was sweating profusely. So much so, that she was worried her shirt would have become see-through. Everyone else in the room appeared to be doing just fine and were meditating, praying, or simply stretching before the match. However, there was one girl who seemed to be just as nervous as she was.

The girl had beautiful red hair and striking green eyes. Though she was trying to act calm, Aliana recognized the same anxieties in her as she did in herself. So, as a kindred spirit, the elf girl saddled up to her and started a conversation. It went about as well as she expected, but the girl did at least acknowledge Aliana was there.
