The lineup is set

  As the sun rises further into the sky secomi spends his time trying many different ways to split the logs as utum does some light exercise. gora relentlessly keeps throwing discus pushing herself through the next one further than the st. As noon finally arrives all the contestants gather in the center of the field.

  Gora looks around anxiously as it seems people from within the vilge had heard about the event and have started to fill the stands on the outside of Dyueses field . Though only those competing were allowed to be on the field. Six people in total stand in the center of this field suddenly a man. In a yellow robe runs up to them holding a board with a sheet for writing and some writing material. He walks up to Dyues and Gora; separately handing them both a sheet of paper”please write whose competing on which events”

  He says in a rather nasally voice as he talks to the two most powerful people in the city. After a few odd moments they both hand their sheets of papers back. The man in the yellow robe looks at them and nods and writes a few of his own notes. He then looks toward the crowd” fine people of Doanertoffia; today is the antagon between the current Sokaran grand chief head of the Kalos cn, Dyues Kalos!”

  The crowd cheers loudly it was clear he was very loved among his people while the event had only came into fruition st night around a thousand people have already poured into the stands that guided the edge of the field ”and his ever daring successor dy Grigora Kalos having just returned from the nds of astra, protecting them from the luutons advancing onto their nds! She initiated the antagon to secure her grandfathers aid in the conflict!”

  The crowd doesn’t seem to cheer for Gora. They’d look a bit confused and uneasy as they learn she wishes to bring the war to them. Gora sighs and just waits for him to announce the events” dy grigora has chosen discus as her event unsurprisingly. Lady grigora has been undefeated in discus in for quite some time now. Our grand chief dyues has chosen log splitting and boxing. Boxing? That’s right the peaceful dyues has chosen boxing and i know it is custom to tell the challengers chosen competitor first but dies and gentlemen not only has lord Dyues picked boxing he himself has chosen to compete!”

  As he announces to the crowd of now almost 2000 people this news. his voice is crackling with excitement as he yells at the top of his lungs. Though as he loudly makes his procmation, silence falls onto the crowd. Gora looks at the announcer with a look of terror”wait wha-”

  The crowd is sent into an uproar as they all start screaming at the top of their lungs to see the great dyues Kalos fight is a rare spectacle indeed. Though as the crowd seems pleased gora clutches at her hair. a new sense of dread pierces into her very soul as she looks over to grandfather”what is the meaning of this grandfather!”

  Dyues grins as he looks at his foolish granddaughter” what did you think i was gonna challenge you in discus? How big of a fool do you think i am gora? I know when im beat and i knew there would be no challenge to defeating the astrans in log splitting. No if the astrans want my help gora they will have to earn it!’’

  Gora grits her teeth”you shitty old man”

  She says under breath with quite abit of hostility. She then grabs secomi and pulls him to her”secomi were fucked its up to you man utum doesn’t stand a chance”

  Both secomi and utum look towards gora a new sense of dread now feeling them as well”wait what you cant be serious right? I haven’t even been able to split a single log yet more than half way down!”

  Gora eyes start to water”than were doomed! Its over im gonna have to stay here and your entire kingdom is gonna be wiped off the face of the map. This is awful!”

  Gora’s eyes would now be slowly leaking water down her cheeks as she still holds tightly onto secomi. Utum makes an offended gasp as gora counts him out already”what but hes over 120 gora don’t count me out so easily please?”

  Gora shakes her head and lets secomi go”no utum you don’t understand my grandfather is the strongest man to ever walk in the nds of iskra. while hes certainly past his prime. hes a behemoth of physical strength they use to call him dyues the god of the sky as his wrath came upon his foes with the fury of the greatest of storms.”

  The two astrans look at each other not sure how to feel”its fine i never pnned to lose to begin with!”

  gora wipes away her tears and pats secomi on the back trying her best to give him a smile”that’s it secomi don’t give up hope yet your people depend on it”

  Secomi’s eye brow twitches once again at Gora’s ck of faith in him. Though before he can say anything the announcer continues”since i started with dyues dies and gentlemen i shall continue with his team. On log splitting is kompsos kavaris the heir of the Kavaris chiefdom.”

  Gora and the two astrans looked shocked they look on the other side and sure enough behind dyues giant body kompsos had been standing by his side. He gives them a little wave with an uneasy smile as they look at him. Though the announcer continues so they’re unable to say anything” and for discus dyues has trusted his loyal head of guard Stou the one eyed chariot racer!”

  While kompsos didn’t get much cheering it seem this guard was quite popur as the crowd is once again sent into an uproar. Gora looks at Stou quite offended”STOU! Are you kidding me he hasn’t been able to beat me in discus since i was fucking six grandpa!”

  Dyues ughs as his granddaughter shes out on him”yes quite humiliating isn’t it? To be not only denied the chance to challenge me but to be put up such a unworthy opponent kompsos is a talented user of geia he will undoubtedly win his challenge and i will beat your rge friend in boxing. Gora i believe you to be a strong spirited warrior but you have a lot to learn about being a leader and what it means to truly be in charge. This antagon was never going to be decided by you but by the astrans. So it is them who should face the hardest challenge not you as they have the most to lose.”

  Gora grits her teeth once again as the announcer continues.”now to Gora’s team obviously dy grigora is competing in discus. The swordsman secomi is competing in log splitting how he pns to beat kompsos is anyone’s guess. And the giant utum is the lord dyues unfortunate opponent in boxing this antagon is to decide the fate of the astran kingdom”
