S2 E5: The Arena

Rou, Eight, and Arthas enjoy a large breakfast before they rush off to get Arthas registered for the fight. According to the proprietor, they can find the arena at what the locals call “the pier”, a mass of rock on the cliffside that juts out over the sea. Traveling through the bustling crowd they eventually come to the registration booth, where Arthas meets a very nasty cat-person.

Eight and Rou are able to watch from the stands, where the crowd is rather dense and vendors wander throughout while advertising snacks and other wares. The pair share awkward conversation until the competition begins. They witness four matches before Arthas is led out to fight the same cat-person he met at registration. He wins handily and is escorted away until his next match. Each opponent that Arthas faces is quickly vanquished, and the Giant-Kin quickly becomes a favorite for the competition. When his final opponent enters the arena, Arthas learns that they might be the hardest challenge he’s come across to date.
