"And in our first fight, we have the current defending champion; Lord Graham's representative fighter Apprentice Fernan Melver versus Lady Farnu's representative fighter Apprentice Jivia" The head butler took over as he announced the first fight.
Rui watched as the two fighters entered the arena, stopping at a distance from each other.
"Take your stances." The arbiter instructed.
Apprentice Jivia took a generic defensive stance. While Fernan Melver simply stood. What Rui found strange was that he was cloaked quite heavily. That was a black cloak that covered his entire body, with only his neck and head exposed.
Rui felt a primal sense of danger with Primordial Instinct, as if he was looking at somebody that wasn't entirely human.
Then, Fernan shed the cloak.
What Rui saw shocked him to his core.
No Martial Art had ever shaken him as much he was beholding at that very moment.
A pair of wings unfolded from Fernan's back!
There were an extra set of arms above his normal arms!
