She expected to see something. Maybe a mark in the sand where the bullet hit, or the battered remains of the shot from when it hit the wall. However, she saw no evidence that she had even fired a weapon. Muttering a few commands into her helmet she tried to zoom in on the area wondering why nothing was there. Even with the helmets help she could not spot the tiny drops of blood that the sand greedily soaked up. However, a large question pounded in the back of her mind. "Where did the lizard man go?"

Now paranoid she pulled out her pistol and tried to find Frix. The only near by cover that could possible hide him was the sand pile on his side of the arena. Thinking that he could not have gone far, she automatically concluded that lizard man had dove for the protection of the sand pile. Remember that Nyra has no idea that Frix can turn invisible, so she assumed that he had dived for cover. Before leaving her protection she dug a small hole in the pile and placed a mine. Covering it up with a thin layer of sand, the mine would only detonate on her command, so if anyone walked too close the mine would do nothing. Suddenly, small pops could be heard somewhere in the arena, but she had no idea in what direction. No bullets bounced off the wall or hit the sand behind her. "Could there be more then two combatants?" she wondered. Poking her head around the pile again she could not spot anyone. "where the heck is he?" she thought once again.

With the pistol still at hand she started her jog around the perimeter of the dome. She planned to stop in the middle of the two sandy piles and try to find Frix behind the pile. Both JohnJohn and Frix could probably spot her if they looked in her direction. If anyone would try to shoot her while she travels along the perimeter she would probably stop and try to find her attacking opponent before taking any offensive action.
