Boros was in the pits ready for the last beast battle, the big one, the main event. Two large beasts were already waiting this time a white rhino, Tywin, and a large elephant, Tynese. They were in last year's festival and beast battles sporting scars from their triumphs, the men they fought sadly only found the afterlife, so it made sense they were a crowd favorite but combined they filled the stands and purses to the fullest....the bigger draw however...

"TYWIN AND TYNESE OUR BEAST BATTLES FROM LAST YEAR! THEY HAVE THE BRAWN AND SAVAGERY ONLY US DEGENERATES CRAVE, BUT CAN THEY TAKE DOWN THE BIGGEST BADDEST DADDY OF THEM ALL?! THE SAVIOR OF COHEED! OUR FORMER CHIEFTAIN! OUR CHAMPION! KAAAAALIM SON OF CYRIL!"

The pop from the crowd was thunderous! Stomping feet made the stands shake and Boros was sure the bitches of Cambria could hear it! Deep somewhere a guttural almost primal growl bellowed out of the darkness and the source came stomping out...The Beast of Coheed!

Covering the entirety of his back, down the back of his legs, and on his arms were massive sets of runes. Kaalim stood as tall as 8'7" and weighed roughly 1,500 lbs! His skin and eyes were gray color and the tattoos glowed white. As 'The Beast' his strength increased to that of 15 men! This includes immense durability thanks to several hundred pounds of fortified bone and muscle, while in this form his skin is thicker and tougher, like a hide of leather armor. The Beast wore no armor and sported no weapons but he wielded a vicious and unquenchable anger...

Boros had already fled the pits a gong sounded the start of this fight! Kaalim didn't waste tune as he charged across the field (each step left a small vibration to ripple across the sand; the crowd would feel it too) Tynese the elephant blew her mighty long trunk before bounding toward the Beast herself and their impact was heavy as two mighty creatures collided. Tynese was set back several feet at the point of impact while Kaalim only an inch, they both were stunned for a moment but the Beast that was Kaalim immediately began to land heavy hard haymakers..

In a row left and then right! Left and then right! That was when Tywin charged his gold crusted horn infused with diamonds and jewels he didn't have his horn lowered for penatration but when it connected it pushed and drove the unaware Kaalim away from Tynese (she was dazed and struggling to walk but she woul recover). Having enough of he little horned dog Kaalim dug his large meaty legs into the sand bringing them to a slowly stalemate, growling in the rhino's face as it blew frustrated air from its nose the Beast came over top landing a heavy hammer fist across the animals head! Then he grabbed the solid gold horn and began to spin...

...and spin...

And spin

And spin...

Kaalim let go just as Tynese began to charge and the rhino was thrown like a doll into the elephant! Tynese and Tywin tumbled from the impact over top of one another before the wall stopped them. Tywin was moving but couldn't stand while Tynese (a missing tusk had snapped off into the side of Tywin) got back up slow. The Beast howled before pounding the ground challenging the elephant. She stumbled toward him but Kaalim had started to close the distance before jumping and landing on the elephants back, they rolled over one another before Kaalim could wrench the other tusk controlling the direction he wanted her to go which was so he could get both arms wrapped around her neck...he wasn't trying to kill her, no, but he was choking her out and his strength clearly showing up over Tynese's decreasing will.

As Tynese faded Tywin was back up injured gravely by the broke tusk sticking out from his side. Finally Kaalim let go and the large elephant fell unconscious into the sand. Twyin was close enough he threw his head jabbing his horn between the Beasts ribs and the crowd sucked in a collective breath! The Beast did moan in pain but the wound was surely superficial as the tip was a few inches deep wedged into strong muscle and a stron rib cage...

Kaalim grabbed for the tusk removing it from Tywins side before hammer fisting three times the rhino's head to remove the horn, then he drove the tusk through the spin of Tywin...he lifted grabbed the horn and with great ease began to Slam the rhino back and forth on the ground creating a storm of dust...it was silent...everyone waited for the sand and dust to settle...and when it did a bleeding normal Kaalim stood triumphantly with the golden horn held high above his head in one hand and his other holding his small wound (something that could have been a lot worse had he not been in his Beast form). The crowd was electric energy as they cheered their Champion on over his victory, Boros charged the field to congratulate Kaalim on his victory...flowers and gold showered from the stands, offerings to Kaalim. He didn't accept the gold that could go into the pot for Coheed but he tucked his golden horn under his arm...he exited...his next destination was finding the Father of Imani ...
