A dagger from his ankle.

Commander Rixx pulls a dagger out of his ankle. He moves over your body and kneels down, his left hand with a tight grip around your throat. His right hand, wielding a dagger, which can easily plummet into your waiting veins.

You cough hard, seeing stars in your vision. You know there is nothing else you can do, if you try to move you will be stabbed in the throat. Your defeat is near.

"Any last words?" those deep, bass filled words state into your ear. Commander Rixx knows he won. He knows there is nothing you can do to get out of his grip.

"You fought well..." he states "But unfortunately..."

At that point you interrupt him. You know you're only here for one reason "Please!" you shout at him "Please tell me Claire is okay..." you gasp for breath as your eyes close.

Commander Rixx, still holding your throat in his grasp, longing into your eyes which are fading into oblivion.

The crowd in the arena going crazy "Kill kill kill!" they shout as Commander Rixx has his arm around your throat. They are thirsty for a repeat victor. A repeat champion that has never happened before.

You gasp for air, your eyes looking directly into Rixx. "Ple..." you cough "please..." you finish your word.

At that point he releases his grip on your throat, your head falls back on the ground, you gasp for air "Rixx...just tell me...." you shake your head. "Tell me Claire is okay..." you finally get out. "That's all I need to know..."
