Rafen pulled the leather strap tight around his arm and secured it. He looked up and saw his face reflected in the triangular eye-slits of his helmet; the Blood Angel’s wargear rested upon an arming rack, a hollow man-shape like a red statue. The training tunic was tight around his chest, and the straps pressed into the places where the bruises and contusions from the last combat had still not fully healed.

He sensed a presence behind him but did not turn.

“I admit, I expected to meet you again in the arena,” said Noxx dryly, “but not so quickly. Or under such circumstances.”

“I’ll try not to win so easily this time,” Rafen offered. “I would hate to shame you twice before all our kinsmen.”

Noxx’s insouciant manner cracked. “You were lucky before.”

“I’m certain you believe that.”

The veteran sergeant grabbed him and spun him about, so that they were face to face. “I misjudged you, peacock, that’s all. It won’t happen again.”

Rafen shrugged off his arm and walked to the weapons racks; sickle-sharp glaives and hook-ended short swords hung on belt straps. He drew the sword and tapped a thumb over the keen edge. “No training blades this time,” he said quietly.

Noxx donned his weapons. “Of course not. It goes without saying; this will be a fight to the death.”

“How so?” Rafen demanded.

“It’s a clone,” Noxx snorted and walked away. “When it is dead your Brother Caecus can simply hatch out another.”
