"It's too late for that now," the friendly guard interjected, jogging along beside them, "The challenge has been made and accepted in front of witnesses. Unless your friend publicly concedes and accepts whatever terms for surrender are offered, she has to go through with it."
It didn't take too long to get to the Proving Grounds, which here at the outpost turned out to be a shallow pit between three and four foot deep, surrounded on three sides by raised benches that people were already climbing up onto. Word of the challenge had spread fast, and the crowd of dock workers, merchants, farriers and even a few travelling dignitaries were filling the stands to view the break in the monotony of the small settlement.
Directly in front of Kate, Mira was already swinging her legs around one of two ladders, and making her way down into the pit with her cocky grin still plastered on her face. Out of her armour the spearwoman was dressed similarly to the lieutenant, except her tunic was a deep, blood red and hung far looser over her pert, modestly rounded chest. As Kate had surmised earlier, the woman's arms were slim but well defined, looking as though they possessed quite a bit of hidden potential despite the woman's slight frame.
Across the arena from the ladders, a large man, easily seven foot tall, was taking his place in a seat of honour raised above those around him so as to give a clear view of the fighting pit. He wore very little clothing, his muscular bronzed chest laid bare despite the chill weather on the open aired arena. The leather apron he wore around his waist barely reached halfway down his thighs as he lowered himself into his seat, doing nothing to hide the thick, meaty shaft which hung limply between his legs, the hooded head resting easily on the smooth wood between his knees.
