Keymaster@arcanezooMany have come, and the fighters have now been sorted, the arena bursts to life on this fall day on he Atlosian Coast. The weather is not too hot, but neither too cool, a perfect day for a fight.
Fights will be conducted as so:
Two characters will be faced off, and the fight posted. Both owners will be able to post creative submissions at this time for a bonus boost in the fight. After the deadline, the fight will be rolled, and winner declared.
The winner will go back into the fighter pool and the loser will get a small random reward.
This will continue until there is only two winners left.
Spectators and bets:
Those that wish to not fight, or once all your characters have been defeated, you can still enjoy the event. Prompts posted during each round of fights that can be completed to help boost fighters and earn some potential rewards as well.
Boosts:
Watchers can submit one artwork/story per fight, and pick a contestant they want to root for. These prompt will earn small rewards for the spectator and the fighter they back.

Participant@cheetahtroutThe sun shone high over the dustpit that was the arena brickstone walls wich had witnessed many failures and victories towering over the sandfilled circular battlefield, providing elevation for an excited and enthused crowd.
Cheering, booing, Shouting catchphrases.
Andraste sat behind the iron grated entrance to the arena. Her tail nervously twitching.
“You have come quite far, Bitterbug. I knew you could make it.” an amused and upbeat chatter was heard from behind her. She didnt need to turn around to know it was a certain fellow Popokee, but she did it anyway to give Citrullus something rare and precious from her. A smile. “Yet you still did bet against me in the first round.” she said trying to sound bitter but initially having a bicker of amusement in her voice.
Citrullus came closer and gave her a friendly headbump “Aww! Please dont gripe on thaaat. I told you it was just in case. Heheh.”he went , picked up Andrastes helmet offering it to her, her snout reflecting in its shiny metal exterior. “Now are you ready to go out there and show them what kind of Popokee you are made of?”
Andraste shared a look with Citrullus. He was a doofus, a mess like jester. But she felt like they had become closer to one another since her training had started a few months ago. Maybe unintendedly close?
The streamlined, horned popokee slid her horn in the shaft and put the armor on. “Yes. I am ready.”
Citrullus giggleclicked like a dolfin and rushed to a weel. he began turning it with a lot of energy effort, but slowly the gate pulled up and open.
“Remember.” Citrullus said out of breath as Andraste passed him on her way out “It doesnt matter if you win or loose. Just do your best and try not to get hurt and we will meet-” citrullus was cut off when Andraste pushed her snout against his bottlenose.
“Don’t worry. I will be careful. We will have some nice cocktails together.”It was autumn, yet the dust of the arena was baked in heat, crunching under Andrastes hooves. The skys meant well with the weather today. No mud-matches in these final rounds.
Proud she walked out of the gate and into the center of the arena. Sunlight glistening on her armor and the ring she wore on her sharktail held high.
Her eyes darted to the side for a brief moment to spy at bourbonnie somewhere in the crowd. If she was proud to watch this armor reach the finals? She probably was.
Andraste shook her neckmane, focus. She stood straight, puffed out her chest and looked towards her last opponent with a healthy mixture of conquest and respect.Andraste had met her opponent before. She had certainly seen him outside the stadium before and watched the previous rounds he had been in. A well built Kirun, not mangy but not too bulky Lucille certainly seemed like a worthy opponent in agility and had displayed a sharp speed before. But was his mind also in the right place for its?
Lucille was a little taller than Andraste standing straight, but she still did not feel looked down upon. Eyes blue like glaciers sitting in the middle of a floofy, spectremarked face.
“The last fight, huh?” he asked, sounding uncertain, flicking his tail briefly. Andraste just nodded. She masked it well, but Lucille wasnt the only one nervous abotu this round. She shook her body a little. She must not fret now.
“You made it really far for someone who did not want to participate.” she stated dry and without any mockery. “Well done. I am looking forward to this.”
“Thank you. But you did mighty fine as well. And here people say Popokee cant fight.” his voice rumbled, reminicing a little of a deep purr sound most likely to lift tension.
The crowd was roaring, prompting Andraste to look around with her eyes, body unmoving.
“I wanted to make a point and make my pod proud. I achieved it, yet be assured I will not hold back.”
Lucille just nodded gently bobbing his furry big head up and down.
“I dont like fighting. But I have come this far. Not giving my all now wouldnt be right.”
The Arena was split. The crowd was boiling with anticipation. There was howling, whalesong,dolfinbickering. When Andrastes gaze went back to Lucille she saw him withdraw his gaze from the crowd as well.
“What do you say?” he asked, with a smile. “Shall we give them theperformances of their lifetimes? A grnad finally worthy?” he lowevered his head pointing his horn further towards Andraste, who smirked back nodding.
“May the better of us both win and we meet as friends outside.” She tilted her head as well and so they crossed their horns in a vow.They both stepped a few steps away from one another. Now it was the final seconds before the fight would begin. In a few moments all of this would be over. One of the two would loose. But Andraste knew that deep down they both had already won.
The excitement brewed in the masses voices shouting encouragements and insults alike trying to tip the scales for their personal champion that tiny bit more. After all, some of them where betting hefty sums by now.
But someone in the crowd had already made her money back. Andrastes road of success had granted Bourbonnie Armor and other blacksmithy requests she had never hoped to receive. Essentially these would carry her through the year and more, if Andraste won…
Loosing now would surely repel some of these many new customers she had made over the past days. “You go girl. You can do this!” she muttered to herself. There was no reason why she wouldnt succeed now. After all, Bourbonnie had crafted each and every plate of this armor herself from the best materials she had been able to get her paws on. She trusted in her work. So it was only fair she trusted into Andrastes Work as well.Like an otherworldly thunderstrike the gong rang. No way back. The fight had begun!
