The one Lana watched with interest on my laptop. The one she could not take her eyes off as he fought.

"Who is he?" I queried as I watched him trying to settle down the crowd "I know his name is Bacchus."

Brennan nodded "He is one of the fighters. Hendrix Jones."

"He is a dick. Really arrogant and thinks he is better than everyone." Reed added "It was great seeing Stone knock him on his ass."

"I heard he was in a band." I mentioned to them.

"He was. I think the other members could not stand him so they left." Reed responded with a chuckle.

"Hendrix is planning on starting a band here in Santa Monica." Brennan added "You should tell Lana. She is a good singer."

From within the area lit with fire, the Hendrix guy spoke loudly in his English accent "Ave caesar morituri te salutant."

The crowd went wild. They started chanting the name of one god like mantra over and over again. The god of fire and blacksmithing.

Hendrix motioned to the right "Somnus."

Stone's opponent Somnus walked out of the crowd with his hands raised in the air like he wanted everyone to cheer him on.

They did not. Everyone booed Somnus.

Somnus was well built. Every person that took part in Litora Bello was.

However, he was not as big nor as tall as Stone.

I studied him and found faults in the opponent. I had to hate him. He was about to try and hurt my boyfriend. I seen him as the enemy. I made a list of everything wrong with him so that I would find no ounce of sympathy when Stone destroyed him.

The Somnus guy had greasy hair styled in a stupid ponytail. He also had a pathetic excuse of a beard growing on his face and his teeth were yellow.

"Vulcan." Hendrix announced while moving his arm to the left.

As Stone appeared from the side, the crowd exploded into cheers and chants.

The giant made his way into the middle. His face was completely stoic. He looked relaxed and unaffected by the commotion around him. He had his gaze set on his prey. There was not a single ounce of fear in his eyes. He looked ready to kill.

The muscles under Stone's tattooed skin flexed as he clenched and unclenched his fists at his sides. His abs and his biceps flexed as he walked into the circle.

Stone leaned closer to Somnus and whispered something in his ear. The opponent of Vulcan paled as a response to Stone's words.

After silence surrounded the space on the sand, Hendrix took a step back and shouted "Pugna ad mortem."

Somnus took a defensive stance as Vulcan attacked.
