At least four fierce canine fighters have been seen in the dog pits the last week among other, lesser dogs. Rumour and excited discussion abound... who is the most brutal beast? Most lean to the massive, grim mastiff, a direct relative of the previous champion, Henri Junior. Others tout the speed of the white beauty, the Lady Beard. Regardless, gamblers dig in old chests for trinkets of value, soon to be given to the strange barter of the mist-girt island.
With the lives of the poor pups decided tomorrow, the cages are quiet, some foreboding taking the miserable creatures.
