Tiigra in a Three Way

Tiigra enjoyed the freedom being a gladiator provided. As long as she trained and fought each month the rest of her time was free to enjoy the perks being a gladiator provided. She enjoyed the way the men bought her drinks and the way they wanted her to sit at their table.

She really liked how easy it was to replace the desire in their eyes with the look of fear. None were confident that their skills were on the same level as her own. So while they looked none dared to touch without permission. Tiigra gave permission to no man, yet.

Things were get until Abigail showed up. Abigail was not that advanced a gladiator but she was tall. Especially for a woman. She was as tall as Baer. She was local to Treyine so that made her more popular. What some would get favor for being foreign and exotic. Tiigra was view as a barbarian from the Border Kingdoms. No one thought of her as exotic.

Abigal had been a soldier before taking the brand. Tiigra told herself she shouldn't hate her because it was a soldier that had defeated Pantor but she couldn't help herself. She hate Abigal and Abigal knew it.

Abigal had a cruel taunting nature and she would twist that hatred in Tiigra like it was a dagger. Many of a time they had to be separated in the Taverns. Everyone wanted to see them fight but in the Arena not in the back alley of a Tavern.

Tiigra was not surprise when it came time to announce the matches that she and Abigal were matched up. She was glad. She was disappointed to see the name of Aouthz. He was a brand new warrior with only his father's broadsword. He didn't even have armor.

                                               Aouthz                  Tiigra                  Abigail
With there being three opponents in the Arena, Tiigra did not walk to the Center.

She went down the side heart area straight toward Abigail. Abigail manuevered to Tiigra. Tiigra gained Abigail's unshielded side. Abigail parried Tiigra's spear with her 2 hand club. Tiigra forced Abigal to the wall striking her in the chest with her spear.
Tiigra charge after Abigail gaining the advantage. Abigail use her club to knock the spear thrust aside. Tiigra shifts and drives the spear into Abigail's right leg.

Knocking her down and the leg starts bleeding
Tiigra charges the downed Abigail gaining the advantage, stabbing her in the chest. Abigail bleeding from her chest is killed.
Aouthz had been running across the Arena to join the battle. He steps over the slain Abigail. Tiigra slips to the side gaining the advantage. She stabbed him in the belly.

Aouthz raised his sword as Tiigra attacks head on. He is forced along the wall as she strikes his right arm.

He is bleeding and the arm is useless. Aouthz switches his sword to his off hand.

Tiigra presses the attack gaining the advantage. Aouthz counterstrikes. Tiigra parried the sword strike, Tiigra counterstrikes back at Aouthz. He blocks her thrust with his sword. He parried her spear with his sword. Tiigra drives her spear into his chest killing him.

The crowd stands on the feet cheering her name "Tiigra! Tiigra! Tiigra!" She marches around the Arena with her spear held high.

She like Treyine, she wishes they had better fighters. She will talk wit Wulf and Baer about whether they should continue here or move on to find better quality opponents. No matter what is decided, tonight she knows she will enjoy her time in the Tavern.
