RoaR#9

The bald man did not want the match to finish quickly so he kept their arms in the middle. He smiled towards Roar with a malicious gaze while the both of them were arm wrestling.” I told you that I was going to crush your arm.” Said the bald man as he tried to crush Roar’s hand in his grip. Roar looked at him and thought that this is normal behavior so he mimicked him and increased the strength of his grip. Screaming sounds could be heard in the inn as the bald man started screaming from the pain.

“I have never heard the bald basher scream like this.”

“Yea he must really hate this new comer to try this hard.”

The stone started shouting in Roar’s mind.” Stop idiot! Make it look like he has a chance.”

Roar sighed and loosened his grip. The bald basher stopped screaming and saw that Roar’s arm was giving way to him. So, he thought that Roar had just used the last of his power in that grip contest. He was laughing as it seemed that he was going to win. The people started talking among themselves.

“Obvious result. The bald basher even screamed.”

“Yea I have never even heard him talk, let alone scream.”

The bald basher looked around and shouted.” You want to see me break an arm?”. Everyone cheered and started chanting.

“Break the arm! Break the arm! Break the arm!” everyone was drinking, laughing and chanting together.

Roar heard their chant and started chanting with them. He seemed unfazed that he was losing. The bald basher looked at him with a malicious gaze and started laughing, thinking that he had gone crazy because of all the strength that he had used. “You will never eat anything in here!” as the bald basher said this. He saw that Roar’s smile vanished and his gaze was serious now. Suddenly a very big thud following a big crack could be heard. Everyone was surprised and became silent.

The bald basher looked down and saw his arm broken from the elbow and twisted in a way that signaled that Roar had won. He jumped back and fell to the ground and started shouting in pain. Lion held Roar’s hand up and said.” Roar won with an immense show of power.” The inn exploded with cheers and everyone was having fun and laughing and drinking except for the bald basher who was on the ground rolling from the pain. He suddenly saw Spitty standing over him and looking at him with disgust. He tried to say something but Spitty quickly spat on him and left.

Roar was having fun with the group from the inn and he was laughing. Lion looked at him with a smile on his face and shouted for everyone to calm down. “My friends. We have witnessed the power that Roar possesses. have we not?” said Lion. Everyone cheered. “I think we should make it a bit interesting now that we have an outstanding talent in here!”. Said Lion. Everyone shouted their consent as if they knew what was coming. “Ok then, Roar shall only have one more match to prove himself!” Everyone went crazy when he announced this.

Roar looked around and was confused as to why they were going crazy. He then saw Lion walking towards the chair opposite of him and sitting down. “Against me!”. Lion said with a smile on his face while putting his arm on the table.

Roar’s eyes glimmered and he looked at him with a smile.” Meat after?”. Said Roar as he held Lion’s hand to get ready to arm wrestle.

Lion laughed then answered.” Yes Roar. Meat after.” And then he narrowed his eyes. “Let’s see how deep this lake goes.”.

Both of them were holding each other’s arms and were ready to start. Spitty came and held their arms. Everyone became silent and waited for the match to start. “Ready?” said Spitty. Everyone was excited to see what was going to happen. “Get set.”. Both Roar and Lion firmed their stance and their grips. They looked each other in the eyes and smiled with competitiveness. “GOOOOO!!!”

Before anyone got to cheer. The ground cracked from their strength and everyone remained silent. Both of them were giving it their all as you could see the veins on their necks popping out from all the pressure. No one was saying anything. Not even the bald basher that had just broken his arm. They were going toe to toe and were in the middle. Suddenly Roar advanced a bit. Whispers could be heard. Lion smiled and narrowed his eyes as he increased the power that he was using even more.

The advantage did not last long as Roar could smell some meat. His stomach growled and he held it with his hand while still arm wrestling. The people were surprised from the loud sound. He was now losing the advantage that he had gained from Lion previously. Everyone cheered. Roar felt really hungry but he still tried to take back the match but then he saw the bald basher eating meat in front of him in a way that made him ten times hungrier. Still, he was holding on and wanted to muster the power to win. And he almost did but he suddenly heard a familiar voice in his head. “Lose the game Roar. You did well playing along.” Said the stone. Roar smiled and suddenly a thud could be heard. Roar had lost.

Everyone cheered. Lion got up and roared. Everyone laughed. “Our friend here is a true powerhouse. I see his worth. Even though he lost. He will be a member and be allowed to eat in here henceforth!”. Roar looked around with a smile and roared and everyone went crazy with cheers and were dancing. Suddenly Spitty spat on someone and that led to a fight and everyone were laughing as they were fighting. Roar was in the middle getting punched and punching back and laughing. There was a big piece of meat in his mouth as well.

Suddenly an old man came from the door in the back and saw them fighting and shouted. “What is this? Stop with the crazy rituals. You crazy brutes. You are destroying my inn!”. All of the members that were fighting and laughing started running away and shouting “Run away the old man is angry!”. Roar saw them running and he ran as well. He looked back for a second as he was running and saw the bald basher caught by the old man. He was begging for help.  Roar turned his head to the front and continued running as he heard an excruciating scream coming from the back.” My other Arm!”.
