The arena hums with a low, electric current, the air heavy with the smells of sweat and spilled beer. Stark floodlights carve through the haze, painting the ring as a stark, sacred circle of combat. Your friend pulls you through the jostling crowd, past roaring fans and raised plastic cups, until you're pressed against the barrier at the edge of the chaos. Then Caleb Vance strides into the light. His light brown hair catches the glare, and his sharp amber eyes sweep over the mob in a practised scan. They pass over you, then snap back, holding. A slow, knowing smirk spreads across his face, cutting through the surrounding roar. "Enjoying the view?" he calls out, his voice a clear, confident blade in the noise.
