Katrina took a deep breath as she stepped out of the Bloodworks. It had been a while since the last time the air felt so fresh. She heard the dunmer speak and glanced at him. He produced the sack of septims and offered it to the prisoners. She reached over from behind the group and collected her share. After he instructed the group of where to meet him, he left in the direction of the Market District. Katrina waited, watching him walk away. Once he was out of sight, she followed. She planned to visit the armor shops, hoping to find something more decent than the rags she tore up.

When she entered the district, the Blade was nowhere to be seen. She walked down the street, ignoring the glances of the crowd. Some time later, she was sitting on a crate, resting. She was leaning down, adjusting her new boots. She had visited multiple shops to obtain herself some proper equipment. She was wearing leather boots, leather greaves, and a chainmail cuirass. To cover up the somewhat revealing cuirass, she wore a tunic over it. Following the orc's advice that she overheard, she made sure it came with a hood.
She also bought a steel bracer, planning to use it as an alternative to shields. It was easier to deflect a sword with a lightweight steel bracer, rather than a heavy, clumsy shield. The final thing she made sure to do, was to repair her silver sword.

She stood up. As far as she knew, she was ready. She headed down the street, hoping to find the others.

When Katrina had entered the pits, she quietly went off to some corner and sat down. She examined her stolen sword as she listened to the light conversation. There was something familiar about the grip. After brushing away some of the dust, she realized it was a silver sword. No wonder, she had used a silver sword back when she was a part of the Imperial Legion.

She jumped when she heard the unfamiliar voice. Looking up, she spotted the strange dunmer. She stayed in her corner and listened to what he had to say. Finally, she stood up and stepped forward, "Very well, I shall join you. You have easily caught my attention."

Katrina sighed in relief when she heard the announcer shout the change of plans. She winced as she felt some of the pain in her shoulder returning. "I guess the heat of the battle is wearing out..." She muttered, holding her shoulder. She dragged her sword with her as she headed for the pits, hoping that they would let it pass. It made her feel safe, at the very least.

Wait, are the "pits" basically the Bloodworks?

Not sure what we're going to do here now. Not much to do till Baconator ends the match.

Katrina went running. She had spotted the conflict between the dark elf and the orc. "Stop!" She shouted. She wouldn't be able to overpower the orc, so her best bet would be to get the dark elf away. She stood between the two, her sword raised. "You dare betray each other? We are in this arena as a team! We are not our own enemy!" She said loudly.
"Yet..." She whispered to herself.

Katrina ran towards the two orcs. She stopped near them, momentarily forgetting her caution against them. She looked at Karnog's condition. Orcs were tough, but even the toughest of opponents could die from loss of blood. She crouched down and cut off a strip of cloth from the lower half of her shirt. She wrapped it over her bleeding shoulder and struggled with the knot for a moment. Once the makeshift bandage was secure, she grabbed her sword and stood up.

Katrina walked over to the two orcs and said, "We best fight together if we wish to finish the last of them without more injury, agree?" She raised her open hand and a pale blue light started emitting from it. "Are you going let me stop the bleeding? I ruined my shirt to make sure I could stop all of it."

Katrina started jogging towards a yellow gladiator. The gladiator was an Argonian who was carrying a sword in each hand. He saw her coming and let out a warcry. He rushed towards her, both blades raised and ready. She slowed down and readied her sword to block the incoming attack.
The Argonian swung one of his swords somewhat clumsily. Katrina's eyes brightened as she saw the opportunity. She raised her sword and blocked his blade. She quickly slid her sword down his blade and locked the Argonian's handguard with her own. With a twist, she sent his blade flying.

At the last second, she quickly blocked the second blade which was aimed at her shoulder. The handle of her sword snapped. Both the Argonian's and her own blade cut into her left arm. She cried out in pain and hopped back, holding her bleeding shoulder. The Argonian laughed and charged for another attack. Katrina dodged around him and kicked him in the shin. She failed to break his leg, but the Argonian fell to the ground nonetheless. She quickly ran over and grabbed one of his swords. Before the Argonian could react, she stabbed him between the shoulders, killing him. She stood there, gasping for breath.

Katrina pulled the sword out of his back and shook her head. "Reckless," She told herself. She hurried back to the rest of the prisoners, hoping for some backup. She wouldn't be able fight well with this painful, bleeding shoulder.

Katrina jumped as she saw the arrow fly past. She looked at the incoming targets, and her shoulders slumped slightly. How were they going to win this fight? She took a deep breath and rolled her shoulders. She glanced towards the Bosmer and said, "I saved a village. That's all you need to know."

She jumped to her feet and gripped her sword firmly. Never before had she truly had to fight an opponent who had an advantage like this. She raised her sword defensively and cautiously stepped into the arena and around the edge, preferring not to rush towards the fight.

Katrina yawned and sat down against the wall. She coughed and waved her hand around as a cloud of dust rose up to greet her. She looked over at Aurora. She almost felt sorry for the little Breton. She didn't seem to belong in this arena full of blood and dust.

Katrina had an idea and stood up. She strode over to where the Breton was sitting and sat near her.
"Why are you in here?" Katrina asked in a kind tone. Perhaps she could befriend her and learn her tactics. If not, at least she might comfort her until the end.
