Kaen's footsteps barely audible upon making contact with the cold hard stone beneath him. Naturally his attentions were caught immediately by the sheer monstrous size of such a building. Outside the massive stone structure, he had inquired with some of the locals as to its purpose, they only laughed and told him it was their masterpiece. Without a proper answer he had no other choice than to enter the premises and see for himself just how "masterful" this place really was.
The air was damp in here, condensation forming large droplets on the walls and ceiling overhead. The occasional -bloop- could be heard echoing the seemingly endless maze of tunnels. It was dark in these catacomb like halls, he had to conjure up a small flame just to guide his way. It was strange really, for all the hustle and bustle outside the walls it was eerily vacant within. He would wander around aimlessly for some time before finally emerging inside the confines of the oval ring.
The light hit his eyes, causing him to squint. Had he really been down there that long? It must have, as the sun was no longer at high noon but already cresting the upper seating area in the giant building. The sun casted large shadows into the pit of sand the filled the inner most region of the coliseum, but not encompassing it entirely. Any later and they would need to turn on the lights. The sand inside was not like your normal desert sand, but stained heavy with age old blood and sweat, Kaen could smell it... The thick scent of iron and despair hung heavy, symbolizing the battles that must of been held here. It filled Kaen with excitement and curiosity, he wondered what it might be like to battle here with a crowd cheering him on... A rather strange feeling it must be to have battle such an acceptable way of life... he like the thought of that. Kaen would close his eyes and go through the motions in a mock fashion, idolizing himself as the hero of this ring, fighting to live, but living to fight. There could be no better feeling than the rush of battle.
