Arena Twenty-Two: Salvation II

"Now then... You better move."

The "me" inside the cage muttered as he closed his eyes.

The dragging sound was coming closer and closer while I stood there, still terrified.

Finally, I decided to move. I paddled back to the corridor entrance I had come from with all of my might and took cover behind the wall separating both corridors.

The "sentry" soon appeared from the end of the corridor, but I couldn't see its face thanks to murky water. I could make out the humanoid silhouette though.

The figure approached the cell I was standing in front of before whispering something.

I faintly caught the words "regrets" and "pathetic" before the sentry suddenly jabbed something through the gaps of the bars.

A muffled cry came from inside the cell.

I held my breath as the sentry kept stabbing and stabbing his pole-like weapon through the bars. The water around the cell soon took a darker shade. The weapon was probably spear.
