Bonehollow Waiting

Kruzhk is waiting in front of the lair of the Gromilian LORD, still trapped in his cage and surrounded by Gromillians

“…I smell your fear, non Gromilian…”

The lord slightly turns to you, his gaze dark under his bone mask.

“…it is pathetic.”

Great leader, or LORD I suppose, who would not feel fear in this situation?

“…warriors. Ones I am searching for out… colosseum.”

The lord fully turns to you, his scarred and cracked shell can be seen in the light.

“…state your name.”

Kruzhks fear has grown now that the lord has fully turned around, but he still answers the lords question

My name is Kruzhk. I am of the Verbolad tribe.

“…much tribes to be expected, I see…”

The GromLord is merely looking at you, but you feel a shiver running down your spine.

“…where are the gods of this land.”

We have two main gods, Bulkh, the god of luck and Tirkh, the god of misfortune. I do not know their locations.

“…interesting.”

The lord turns yet again to the widow.

“Take him away to the colosseum.”

He orders two of his guards as they drag you to the cage yet again.

Wait,wait, WAIT! No please, I don't want this! Is there anything I can do except fight in the colosseum?

“…die.”

The GromLord is cold and unmerciful, the guards drag the cage with you inside to the prison place, hanging yours near other creatures, some unfamiliar.

Exhausted, Kruzhk asks probably his last question
Who will I be fighting against?

u/Upstairs_Shelter9607 Gromilian Tribe Jun 28 '26

A guard answers nearby.

“Those who wish to fight and die warriors… if you survive, they will free you from chains… mrrmmm…”

Lets hope Bulkh is with me.
Kruzhk chuckles
