This arena had not been kind to him.

Not that he was expecting it to be, of course, but he also wasn't expecting to find himself in a desert dressed like the Jolly Green Giant. It hadn't taken long for him to get sunburnt, and dehydration followed shortly after; in his haze, he was fairly sure he was approaching heatstroke, or at the very least sun poisoning. It was hard to remember the difference.

Nightfall hadn't been any better, what with the cold winds and still no hint of water. He seemed to be the only one here, too, which was both a relief and a struggle. At least no one would object when he inevitably died.

He spent a long time staring at the shape when it appears on the horizon, trying to decide if it was real or not. He stood, shakily, to try and see better, half hoping it was so they could get this farce over with.
