As he made his way down the dark corridor towards the gaols, he could hear the announcer continuing to shout, inflaming the crowd with insane enthusiasm.

We'll meet him again in two days' time for a new, even more perilous challenge! But in the meantime, my dear friends, the show must go on!
Mordred gritted his teeth as the dragon-guards ruthlessly shoved him back into his dark cell. They violently slammed the metal door behind him, locking it heavily. The sound resounded like a death knell.
