'W-where am I....?' The blackness was a blur never experienced before by himself, yet it felt way too familiar for a first time thing. His advanced eyes slowly began to focus and examine everything around himself. First thing noticed were the solid iron bars dug into the ground. Thought to be a door to a cage from what he could guess. He stood slowly, his legs a bit weak from the blackness.

He glanced around noticing his surroundings to have a bolted back door made from the same material as the bars. His jet black ears perked as he heard cheering and loud voices from beyond the bars and sunlight. He quickly lunged and ran into the bars, hitting them hard with his shoulder before repeating twice. He jolted back a bit landing on all fours as his breathing turned into panting, his silver eyes shifting side to side as he began to think of an escape. The tip of his tail flicking in frustration to the thought of no way out.

'This is impossible..' he told himself as he leaned down and pushed his big muzzle between the bars sideways. Chewing and snaring as he bit down on one of the bars. He chomped and growled to find his effects to be in vain as he pulled back, shaking his head and shifting his jaw. The throb in his head causing him more irritation as he began to growl louder. "I demand to know where I am! Where have I been taken?! Who do you think you are?!" He snared yet knowing no one was there to hear him.

All of the sudden the cheering grow louder the yelling and screaming too. The bars in front of him began to raise slowly to the top of the opening causing more light to pour in. He stepped back a bit as he watched the bars go up slowly before his eyes quickly went the widening space under the bars. He jolted and began barking roughly as his paws hit the ground scratching the dirt. He nudged his head underneath the bars forcing them up hard resulting in them getting jammed in the gears.

He looked up quickly into the area, a huge arena full of people and one mere human in the center of the flat ground. An amused smirk came to his muzzle as he walked out into the light. The deep blue tint of his fur reflecting in the sunlight as he growled to himself, 'He must be the one who has brought me to this unknown place..' He slowly began to walk around the area, circling largely around the human as he lowered his head, his ears and tail perked in an alpha position as his narrow eyes stared the human down. The crowd in the arena went wild to the sight of such a big lycan, closely twice the size of the human.

The human turning with each step the lycan took, his hand gripping onto his sword and shield as he watched him carefully. 'This human, he isn't very smart, but that doesn't mean I should take him lightly.' He began to move in closer before having the human lunge at him, his sword slashing at the lycan's chest and missing by inches. The lycan jolted back and snared, his teeth and fangs baring as he growled loudly in disgust. He slashed in quickly and jolted around the human's strike as he came around the other side and bit into the man's arm resulting in a scream.

He bit down hard before tossing the man away with his jaws, the human tumbled then slowly yet weakly got back up onto his wobbly knees. The man looked around quickly realize that his shield had shook from his hand. He looked up to find that his only source of protection from the beast, was under its very own front paw. "Dammit!!" he cursed out loud as he rushed at the beast with all his might, only the have the lycan jump from the line of strike, jolting around the arena. The crowd was going wild in anticipation, yelling and screaming words of encouragement and others of hope that the poor human would die.

Our lycan came in hard pouncing on top of the human, clawing his claws into the man's bare chest. As he down hard for the finishing bite the man swung his sword up sideways, having the lycan chomp down on the dull blade. His growling seemed even more deadly up close, his saliva making the handle of the sword hard to hold to. With one swift push the human forced the lycan from on top of him, the tip of the blade lightly cutting below the beast's left eye. He jump back, the loud roar of the crowd making the lycan's heartbeat quicken, "Disgusting creature!" he barked.

The human took this time to his advantage and got to his feet stumbling backwards a bit, the sword now held with both hands, "Vile beast! Know your place in this world!" He yelled as he lunged towards the lycan, running full force. The Beast jumped and dashed around the man, swing his body in the air to turn into a bite, only to have his jaws stopped by the blade once again in his muzzle. The man quickly pushed the lycan back slashing his blade roughly to the chest of the beast, barely slicing the skin open. "You're life has no purpose, your kind shall die out!!" the man yelled as the lycan jumped back from the slash landing on all fours.

The crowd was in a riot, yelling and screaming words unable to be understood from the blur of sound. The lycan snared and bare his teeth and fangs more, "Me who has lost purpose?!! It is you who was thrown away by your own kind for sport and entertainment! Who is the one here with no purpose?!" The lycan took his stance, his ears perked back and tail up, his legs straight and braced on the ground. The man readied himself, holding the sword up right with both hands, his legs spread in a fighters stance. The rumbling of the crowds were becoming overwhelming as the yelling became louder.
