Cicero watched as the red-eyed man made his way in the arena. He scowled in displeasure upon realizing he was a demon-folk. One of the [i]fiends[/i] he spent years combating in Roh. Cicero never met one he liked and he was positive this one would be no different. They were a thorn in the side of most other races as far as he was concerned. Roh was the prime example of this. They would raid and pillage the inhabitants far too often. With such a large number of them it was hard to keep them at bay. Cicero sent his fair share of them to the pits of Hell. He suffered many wounds and loss of allies. His scars were a testament to that. They were a plague upon the lands.

Standing up, Cicero crossed his arms and stared at the man. He looked tough. He wasn't just any bandit. The real question remained, [i][color=orange]"Why would He send for a bottle of wine for me and challenge me to the arena..Or am I mistaken?"[/color][/i] He didn't have to wonder long, for a man dressed in black made his appearance. In his hand was a twisted wooden staff. He made his speech and vanished as quickly as he had come. It was apparent he had magical abilities.

What was this man's game anyway? What was he planning? Was he working with this demon-folk? It was hard to know for certain. To Cicero it could be a huge trap or a big opportunity. He wished the man offered more of an explanation of [b]WHAT WAS GOING ON[/b], but Cicero was not able to speak fast enough before he vanished.

Cicero shrugged and headed for the skirmirshers gauntlet to sign up. He would not usually trust a stranger upon first meeting them. Especially a dark robed, magic using one. Boredom drove him through the red flags in his mind. However, this still had [i]not[/i] gone the way he had imagined. Cicero thought he would engage in a quick duel, defeat his opponent and head home before supper. It was turning out more complicated. He glanced back at the red-eyed wonder and asked, [color=orange]"Are you working for that dark figure?"[/color]
