She wasn't sure what had happened in the last round. One moment she had been fighting the little deer, the next it had been called off and she had been announced the winner. Had she blacked out and won? Had the deer run away or waited for too long? She wasn't sure. But she was advancing to the next round, somehow, and for the first time Asimona thought that she really did have a chance to win the whole thing.

But she didn't know who she was fighting next. Would it be someone old? Someone with more experience? Who was an excellent fighter or even bigger then her? She shivered at the thought. While she didn't flaunt her size, she certainly was scared to see a creature bigger then her.

She walked into the center of the ring, hearing the cheering of the crowd around her. She couldn't believe that she had managed to get this far. She took a deep breath to steady her heart and then sat herself in the ring, holding her head eye, looking for her opponent. Who would it be?
