Playground Rules: A Game of Cards and Swords

Agnes stood on her side of the playing field, the Kairos Flight guild mark displayed on a large lacrimavision screen behind her, on the opposite side of the field was a similar screen displaying the guild mark for Salamander Shade. She brought her hand up to her face to adjust her glasses as her eyes moved between the colorful walls that littered both sides of the court. In the middle were several brightly colored balls rest perfectly on a brightly colored yellow line down the middle of the court which would likely serve to divide them. A large speaker overhead activated and from it came the annoyingly loud voice of the announcer as he greeted the spectators that could not be seen from the field. Once that was over he began to explain the rules of the game. It was at this point that she noticed her opponent on the opposite side, one of the girls that she had worked with just yesterday and if Agnes recalled correctly she hadn't much cared for the woman's attitude.

Anges reached down to grip the hilt of her sword, staring at her opponent with burning gaze that was equally delivered from her former ally. "I am Agnes Willhoff, former dark mage and lieutenant of the Bosconian branch of Gigantomachy. Know well that I have no intention of going easy on you." Agnes spoke, drawing her sword and getting into her ready position with blade forward and one foot back. "I suggest you take the next few moments to pick a God and pray," Agnes spoke with a cocky smirk as the announcer finished explaining the rules of the game and continued on to hype up the crowd.
