章 445: The Call for Peace

RETH

"The challenge was issued by Lerrin Mhygha o'Lucan of the Running Fang," Brant called, turning in place to face every inch of the grounds and the audiences watching on every side. "He challenges Gareth Orstas Hyrehyn for dominance. The Hallowed Grounds will see the Anima King crowned this day!"

Anima on both sides cheered and howled, calling their support for their Alpha, their confidence that they would walk from the grounds victorious. Reth shook his head at the bloodthirst in his people. One glance at Lerrin showed the wolf, face tight either with anger or fear. Perhaps both. It was cold comfort that he did not smile when his people called for Reth's death. Of course, he clearly didn't feel the prick of Reth's Anima calling for his, either.
