Kaleeth looked at Janius nervously and shrugged. "I...do not know. He cannot make you leave, so maybe this is the only way he can think of to hurt you?" She looked down and shook her head. Everything seemed to be going so wrong, which upset her to the point that tears started forming in her eyes. "Why does he have to hate you so much?" She said quietly, more to herself than anyone. 

Thorantilth was obviously upset, but there was nothing he could do right now. Wutanxeex was just close enough in skill to what Meesei had described for Sabine that it was not blatantly unacceptable. The only way that he would be able to void the fight and pick a new opponent for her would be if either Zharan or Wutanxeex directly broke one of the rules of the fight. Until that happened, the Master-Hunter had control over who Sabine fought. Reluctantly, he took a waterskin from his satchel filled with the ritual poison and offered it to Sabine. "Here, this is the poison you need to drink. Take your position in the clearing opposite Wutanxeex. Once you drink it, the fight will begin. I...wish you luck. May the Hist guide you."
