Inktober 2022 Day 15 'Armadillo'

This scene or rather fight takes place in the illegal underground arena of El'azar. The opponents are also the two strongest prisoners this hellhole has to offer. Atlas is a gigantic presence only outmatched by his actual body. He belongs to another human subspecies on El'azar, which are called goliathans. They were mostly driven out of El'azar through the course of history, and have formed a settlement in the desert. When Atlas came into captivity is unknown, even if that's his real name, or like in case of a lot of the other prisoners just a mantle they put on or were put on by the ones that locked them up. Goliathans were made for living out in the desert, they themselves being undesertable. They are the most deadly combination of muscle and speed in these lands.
On the other hand you have 'Krasnik', a leader of a military fraction from a city outside El'azar. They intervened with the Civil conflict and tried to support the Rebellion to dismember the government. He and some of the men under his command in the end got into captivity, over the years the cells got empty one after another. His friends and companions got fewer and those who were left got more silent by the time. In the end only 'Taiga' was left there with him and the person they came to free initially, an old General named Fedorov who is also Taigas Greatuncle. Krasnik is feared on the battle fields, despite his tall and muscular appearance he is said to be the eye of the approaching storm, where all is calm. He was never seen taking a hit, one of the reasons he is so hated by the spectators in the coliseum.
