Alright let's start!

***A loud booming voice echos against every wall***
"Welcome everybody, to the great Colosseum of Tharean, our mighty kingdom!" Human cheering brings dust raining from the ceiling. The stomping of feet causes the wooden walls to creak and shudder.
"As of this fine evening we will have fights in this arena, fights so thrilling with the mightiest beasts we have captured among our territory. May the best creature win!" Trumpets begin to play, so loud and piercing that anyone's ears would ache.
"Open the fourth pen!"

The stadium floor is blood-red dust and dirt while the ceiling is open in the center to allow in light. The walls are made up of pillars to also let in light, and fastened among these pillars are platforms holding crowds of villagers and soldiers. Entering the stadium opposite the beasts' pens comes a well-armored man with a full, thick, braided beard. He is armed with a battleaxe and a shield. His face is twisted into a frown, much to hide his fear as the pen door slowly begins to raise.

Surge~~~
Surge paces back and forth, barring his teeth and hissing. He throws his body against the flimsy wooden wall and snarls. Batting his paws against it, he hooks his claws into the wood and tears a piece away. Behind the wall is solid stone. He snarls again, thinking he had almost found an escape. He bolts to the wall of the pen where light is filtering through and slams against that. It shudders, but he can hear chains clatter on the other side. Narrowing his eyes and accepting defeat, for now, he peaks with one eye through a hole in the wood to see what is going on outside.

Galtron paced his cage. He though of his mate and shivered. He then growled he would have to fight through this all for her. He closed his eyes. They would call him and he knew it. He opened his eyes and he slashed at the bars in his anger. He sat down and watched the match silently

Soldier~~~
The rugged, battle-worn man watches with eager eyes as the fourth pen door lifts to reveal a huge cat. A wildcat, a beast, a fierce creature already looking aggravated. He braces his knees and holds his ax before himself for protection, waiting for his opponent to make the first move, knowing this will probably be his last day.


Lizzy~~~
She curls up against the wooden walls, pressing as far into the corner as her furry body will allow. She covers her nose with her tail and her body with one wing. All the loud noises terrified her, she just wanted to be home... Maybe when all the commotion died down she would try to find an escape route.

Jade cried out and she wished she was home. She longed for her dead cubs to be alive. She growled and her anger spiked up but she wouldn't fight anyone except the humans who were the reason she was here.

Galtron watched the battle and he knew the cat would win for sure. He laughed. This would be easily won and would be one step closer to freedom.

(I don't know if you know but the fourth pen is Glatron's and I chose this because you seemed to be very ready and active on the prep thread :) so I'm just waiting for him to join the battle and either I or you can play the part of the human warrior.)

Galtron ran out he looked at the soldier. He growled. His wings flexing. He flew up to get a good view of his opponent. He roared just hoping to make them jump. He knew that others were watching him.

Soldier~~~
The man trembles under his armor, gazing up at the terrific beast set against him. He quickly observes the battlefield. All of it dust, no where to hide. He bolts to the right of the field and skids to a stop near the wall, as the rope dome over the field dips at the edges and would prevent the cat from making an overhead strike. Only his sides and front are exposed. He raises his weapon into the air and releases a horrible battle cry in hopes of drawing the beast from the air.

Galtron shot down and quickly attacked the soldier. He clawed at them viciously and roared. He knew that he would win but he wasn't ready for any attack it would put up if it did. Galtron bit the soldier and he closed his eyes. He felt his victim's blood staining his fur.

Soldier~~~
The man crumbles beneath the cat, down before he even had a chance to make a move. He hears the echo of the crowd cheering as his vision fades to black, hands going limp and weapon clattering to the ground.

*the cat is snared and entrapped back in its pen*

Surge~~~
He flicks his tail, teeth barred. One human is nothing to an entire kingdom, but good to know we have strong cats in here. If he could just reach one...
Surge begins clawing at the two remaining walls, tearing the boards away and pressing his body against the clammy stone wall. To his satisfaction, a brick falls from the upper right wall. Grinning, Surge leaps and hooks his claws into the small opening, but there is no air passing through. Perhaps it would at least let him speak with another cat.
