Aldrich passed through the portal, followed by Okeanos and Valera They warped into the Death Lord's Arena, standing in the center of an enor pit itself, surrounded by a stage of sand dotted with shards of shattered bone and bits and pieces of hacked o armor

Evidently, this place had seen quite soh, as Alrdich looked around, seeing thearound the pit, he felt a distinct sense of emptiness Of abandonaze and sighed "Yes, this place has seen better days Roaring crowds and battles to make the blood of even the coldest hearted of undead boil But since the Severing of Realh under my command for such spectacle, with less than a third ofof Realms?" said Aldrich "It is a tere incident that tore us from the Elduin realm and into thisthis limbo space," said the Death

The lower half of her face rapped in bandages as well The only thing really visible about her was her upper face, the skin pale in shade andred runes Her eyes were a ery orange-red, covered a little by a thin curtain of white bangs
