Karliah took a deep breath, in and out, in and out... This was it, the time has come to put all her training to the test. She had worked nearly her entire life for this moment, finally, she was going enter a big tournament and take home the prize. Though, she didn't really have a home now, but she had a promise to keep, and she wasn't about to go back on her word.

In the back of her mind, she was nervous, and rightfully so. Out of everyone at this tournament, she was the most normal fighter, with nothing but her rugged fighting style and some basic ki manipulation.

It would be an uphill battle for her, but on her life, she would win it, not just for herself, no, not even for herself, but for her friends back at the orphanage, for those who believed in her. [color=f49ac2]"I... Will win..."[/color] she mumbled to herself in a low tone.

[b]"...Our first round competitors! From Okayama Prefecture, the Goddess of Battle, Kurokami Makoto!" And her opponent, a nomad with no home but a name, The Puglist of Absolution, Karliah Reis!"[/b] Kurokami Makoto... Her first opponent... Karliah couldn't help but scowl at the announcer's titles... Pugilist of Absolution... Really? She shook her head and headed towards the ring, this was it, no looking back now.
