The arena was a massive one, even though it was not even the primary arena of Praeclara, but even still it was an arena of most importance. The arena was circular in its design. The ground level was covered in banners depicting the Goddess of Predators devouring a Demi-God who tried to betray here, as several strange and horrifying monsters were watching on. The floor of the arena was simply dark red sand, which does help in concealing blood. The crowd attending the Festival of Beasts in this arena was a large one. The upper levels of the arena were glowing with bright blue and orange crystals, while the lower levels were not lit with any crystals and were incredibly dense, with spectators rubbing elbows against each other as they observed the arena. The crowd was cheering in union, "ZHARKOV! ZHARKOV!" Various merchants were passing through the stands, as people were grabbing from large platters of bread and drink, readying their fill for an entertaining battle. From the upper levels of the arena, a voice boomed through the arena. "And so Zharkov the Crusher shall face his first opponent. NOW then, let us release the first of the beasts!" From the other side of the arena, a large iron gate-way slowly opened... It was time for battle.
