For this fight, the arena has been flooded.
There are new traps in the arena in this game. The mine traps have been donated by a friendly neighboring kingdom of Gnomes. Should anything swim into them, they'll explode. There are also nets enchanted with lightning so as to shock whatever gets caught in them.
The lion starts off on a podium, having been floated out there by it's handlers. The shark is released!
The shark swims circles around the podium. The Lion seems a bit cowardly in the face of the water surrounding it. But wait! The Shark makes the first move!
The crowd roars and a splash sends water droplets to the highest seats in the collosseum:
Tense moments have gone by, and there's no sign of struggle. No blood has floated to the surface, and the audience is on the edge of their seats.
But wait! Signs of life and of death appear. The shark breaks the surface with blood encircling it!
Wow!
Somehow the lion has allowed the shark to eat it and attacked it from within!
The lion is the clear victor in this match! It licks it's paws clean. Or is it savoring the blood of it's fallen enemy?
Begrudgingly, the shark's trainer announces that the shark's meat will be sold at a local butcher shop, as is the local custom. Proceeds will help the trainer trap another shark.
The crowds rush to their bookies, back home or wherever it is they go to after each match.
They await the next fight Tiger versus Rhino this Saturday.
