The sun just rose to its highest point of the day, now noon time and the sun is beating down on the hills of Dunland. Men and women wiping their sweat away from their brows as they work, children swimming in lakes to cool down and Pren preparing himself for what he has been waiting for.
Pulling on his furs and leathers, getting himself ready for what he has been hoping for. The Culling Pit. He takes a few steps out of his tent, feeling both the heat and the pressure pushing down on him as he makes his way to the logs that make the place. Pulling on his bear mask and grabbing his club he makes his way into the Pit itself. Blood lying on the ground with what looks like intestines also nearby. Bones of both animal and man lying on the floor and sometimes make it difficult to move around the place.
Roaring comes from the crowd gathered, cheers of encouragment seem to make the earth shake underfoot!! Hands clapping together, boots stomping against the wood and voices chanting out as their lungs nearly burst!! “PREN!! PREN!! PREN!!”. All eyes land on the man as he raises his club into the air and starts to make his way around edge, letting out shouts and roars as he does so before he comes to a stop as a loud CLUNK is heard and the crowd goes silent..
Out from a cage jumps what looks to be a shadow at first.. though it lifts its head up, nose facing the sky as it opens its mouth and lets out an ear-bursting howl into the air!! Its fur as dark as coal as its eyes lowered and eyed up the wildman.. glowing yellow eyes with white teeth, drool flowing from them like venom!! Barks coming from the thing, everyone sending strands of saliva flying onto the ground! Without warning it runs forth, pouncing with its claws outwards towards the man!!
Pren doesn't even move at the sight of the thing, staring it down as he holds onto his club with one hand.. readying himself for what was to come as he glared into its yellow eyes. As the warg started to pounce he raised his club and struck it across the jaw though it wasn't enough to stop it, its claws digging into his chest and sending him back against the wooden pallisades with some good force! The air totally gone from his lungs as he looks at the warg snapping its jaws closer to his face by the second! A tooth even scraping his cheek before any sense came into his mind, his shoulder digging into the wargs throat as he pushes against the thing! Using all the strength in his body so he can fight another fight! As he pushes, the warg takes its chance and manages to sink its teeth into the man's shoulder, though before he could do any more damage he was thrown off onto the ground!
The warg now looking at the man from its curled up postpositions on the ground, snapping its jaws and letting out noises that do not even sound like growls as it tried to get closer to the man! Though Pren was quick this time, grabbing his club and standing to his feet.. he then swung it onto the wargs back like hammering a nail into wood! Hit after hit before he was knocked back by the warg's sweeping paw!
Paw after paw the warg struck the man, causing blood to join the already puddles of it there! The crowd went silent as they saw Pren getting hit over and over.. fearing this may be the end of him as he fell to his knees, clutching at a slash that went too close to his neck.. it is then he saw his friends, looking between Gangen then to Deilen, before looking to Gwraidd before finally Rhisgl. Noticing the look of shock on her face, he growled a throaty growl before he pushed himself up and swang at the warg over and over with both fist and club! Not holding back as the two hit each other, causing injuries on both sides as they both grow weaker..
Now.. both on their last legs, they charged at each other with what ever speed they had left! Pren raised his club and the warg opened its mouth.. one swung and the other bit.. though only one hit..
CRACK!!!
It was this noise that showed the victor.. and Pren still stood, him swinging so hard onto the wargs neck it sent it limp to the floor! Taking in deep breaths.. Pren raised his fist and roared out loudly as he can before cheers, whoops and chants filled the air once more! Louder than before as the whole village sang out in it!! Pren took a look about the Pit as the cheers kept coming.. imagining all fighting against things worse than wargs.. Hammer-Man, Red-Hair, Sparrow-Lady, Goat, Green-Man and the rest of the company.. all here with wargs at their necks and bulls charging at them.. cracks of bone and squelches going through his mind as he roars once again!
