The door with the crossed swords

After a moment of hesitation you decide to try the door with the crossed swords. The silver key fits perfectly and with a quiet click the door unlocks. With your weapon at the ready you walk through it...

...and find yourself in a room very similar to the one you just left, but almost twice as big and with a large pool of water in the middle. Arranged in a circle around the pool are 8 marble columns. Leaning on one of them on the far side of the room and examining the pool is a blonde elf wearing leather armor. His only weapons appear to be a pair of short swords, both of them sheathed right now.

At first the elf does not notice you, fully focused on the pool. Then the door slums shut behind you and the sound makes him look in your way. His initial surprise at seeing you is quickly replaced by a wide grin.

"Oh, my, what a hottie! I don't know if you are real or just another one of the Arena's illusions, girl, but either way I'm going to enjoy fucking you!" He says in place of a greeting, then takes out his short swords and heads towards you.

"Great! Just what I needed!" You sigh and start thinking what to do. You have no way to know if the guy is an Arena competitor like you, or just an illusion that imitates another competitor, but it is clear that he is not interested in talking. Looks like you'll have to fight...
