The challenge had been made!
Danio the Godfather of Bear village had known this was coming, another Godfather had moved into the zone taking over the villages.
And he was worried, life had been good over the last ten years and he ran a good village he was one of the few Godfathers that treated the people and his fighters as humans.
Now, this Godfather the Duke was making a challenge having already taken over three villages in the zone.
His fighters were gaining fame throughout the area especially the black masked fighter Lucian he was known as the monster, showing no mercy to his opponents when he fought.
Danios fighters were good but time was catching up they were aging and it took longer for them to heal now and not as quick as they once were.
His fighters had not fought any top competition in a long time, only a few matches with traveling trainers who came to the village for daily sport.
This was coming as a shock to him, he'd not thought that one day he could lose his village to another Godfather.
This was how man lived now in small villages run by Godfather's, castle type affairs with a fighter's cage in the middle everything that went on was set up around the cage
The market, beer house, and brothel were just a few.
The Godfathers had the takings from these.
Danio liked his lifestyle and was good to the village.
As a young trainer, he had been one of the few trainers to treat his fighters with a bit of respect, he treated them well and in return, they gave everything for him.
Ten years ago, they had been the best in the zone and this was another reason for his worries they were like friends now and he didn't want to lose any of them to this monster, Lucian.
Danio needed a fighter he had eight weeks to find one.
He looked down at the paper again reading the words over.
I the Duke will present my best fighter to take on your best fighter for control of Bear village.
This challenge will take place eight weeks from the day of Thursday, June the 9th
Which meant he needed to find a fighter for the 4th august.
It was an unwritten law that when a challenge had been made it had to be taken.
Governments didn't make the laws now, the godfathers made the laws'
And rules for a challenge? There were no rules.
Fighters got maimed and killed in these challenges these weren't your usual fight's they were for ownership of the village so the fighters had to give it all.
Now Danio was in this position and needed a new fighter fast.
There was a rumor of another fighter moving through the villages and taking on all comers.
Although the villages weren't that far apart there was no motor transport so people traveled on foot.
There were normally 10 or 12 villages to a zone and rarely did people travel more than a few villages, meaning that most didn't know what lay beyond this.
As a young trainer, Danio had traveled to all the villages in the zone before taking over bear village.
Danio needed to see this fighter he needed to see if he was as good as the rumors said to see if he had a chance against this monster Lucian, who so far had killed all three fighters in the last three challenges.
