Arkok was a giant ogre or more like a half-ogre and a half-giant.
The stuff of nightmares at any rate.
Lucius was the first to charge! He tried to dive for the heel of the being, but Arkok stomped his feet, and Lucius was thrown back!
Elmar gripped his staff. It would be useless unless someone got hurt, but he didn't want it to come to that.
He touched the ground with his free hand and began to whisper a spell.
"Round, round stone.
Become rougher, spiked, and mean.
Come alive, stone, and strike this ogre.
Go for the heel and never yield."
Spikes appeared in the stone, and they began to move!
Arkok jumped and caught a chain hanging from the arena's ceiling. The crowd booed Elmar and began to throw things into the arena.
One of them was a necklace with a chipped locket.
Elmar inspected it. There was plenty of magic inside.
It was the exact necklace that he needed, even!
He pocketed it.
Then he saw as a mace flew towards Diana!
