Seren
If Hotaru was secretly miffed at the prospect of losing gracefully somewhere down the line, Seren came into the ring without any illusions of making it past a second round. Actually, she had been more than excited to meet Hotaru again, and looked forward to a worthwhile lesson as much as a chance to test her mettle.
But it was over before anything even began. She barely had the chance to wave back to the radiant woman and begin to move towards her, when the projectile erupted by her feet.
That was all she remembered. Next thing she knew, Seren found herself on the ground. Her head rang like a gong, and the entire front of her body felt bruised. She started to move, but quickly stopped; something hot and metallic trickled from her nose, and from the mouth, and as a wave of nausea hit she could only roll over and retch into the sand.
In the sky above, Umbra let out a keening roar of shared pain; in a rumble of dark wings the blue dragon came swooping down and placed himself between his bonded and Hotaru. Steam rose from his nostrils and the gaze that fixed on Frey's most recent demigod was belliggerent.

Battle born they send us
Covered in our noble blood
