Yes, she gives up

Finally Joanne seems to accept her defeat. She weakly knocks on the ground two times to show that she gives up. You immediately stand up and let her take breath. Not only because the rules say so but also because it's a question of honor. A defeated enemy who gave up is not allowed to be harmed anymore. In the moment you release Joanne's throat the women around the arena react very different. Most congratulate you and applause but a lot even call for a punishment because you hurt a woman. Some even call you a cheater. The slaves don't dare to make any noises but you can see most of them smile happy about your victory.

Joanne gasps for air, spits and chokes. While you leave the ring much less hurt she is unable to stand up for a few minutes. You go right to Keylara and bow your head light to show her respect she doesn't deserves. To your surprise Zarraz gives you the respectful gesture and smiles pleased. Keylara on the other hand is far away from being happy. She is extremely angry and ignores you completely.

“You failure!” Keylara growls angry and glares at Joanne, “I can't believe I wasted my time with you. You had all chances on your side but still lost against a singe men. You are a shame for every woman. GET LOST!”

“No, please mistress, don't do this,” Joanne begs and gets up to her knees, “just give me a chance. He fought dirty. Please give me a chance to prove myself. I am worth to be one of your elite soldiers.”

“You? A elite soldier?” Keylara asks even more angry, “you are not even worth washing my clothes. You could have become one of my officers. Or an overseer for the slaves. But you disappointed me in every way possible. Get your worthless, weak, rag-packed body out of my sight.”

“No, you can't cast me out,” Joanne continues to beg, “it's not my fault. It's his. He used dirty tricks. This was unfair.”

“The whole fight was unfair,” Keylara screamed, “but you were the one who benefits from this. Now piss of or I will personally make you a very painful end.”

“I will not leave!” Joanne shouts.

Annoyed Keylara opens her hand to Joanne and releases beam of flame from blue fire. Joanne cries in pain for a few seconds. Then everything is quite. The last sounds are the flames turning Joanne's dead body in a bunch of ash. Nobody dares to say a word. Keylaras supporters are shocked by her power and brutality.

“You there, clean this mess up!” Zarraz suddenly orders to a **** being hold on a leash by a female soldier.

With Zarraz breaking the silence the mood slowly turns back normal. The woman begin to chat and order their slaves around again but this time much more carefully. The **** who was ordered to clean up Joanne's remains takes her burned corpse away and returns to his mistress. Since Joanne was a serial killer and your father already sentenced her to **** you feel not so much bad for her. But even you are shocked by what you have seen. At last the dark witch is not angry with you.
