Curtis and the remaining eight bundled up and left the bridge behind them. With the map unfolded, Curtis led them to their next destination.

The group arrived at a large, dome shaped structure in the middle of a snow field. The structure was carved from pure ice. The walls stretched high and nothing could be seen from the outside.

Patrick approached the large wooden door and knocked against it with his hoof. The double doors were swung open and the group piled in. In the center of the arena was Vixen, frozen in a block of ice.



The group ran towards the reindeer, but as they stepped into the center of the arena, they realized it was full of life. Raised up on the sides was stadium seating, filled with ugly and vicious looking elves. They screamed and cheered as Curtis and the eight were led inside and into the middle of the arena. Trumpets blazed as a figure stepped forth onto a balcony.

"WELCOME! My name.....is Simplton." he said.

"Oh Christ." said Curtis. "You're with the Jew Bear aren't you?"

"That is right. Welcome to your next test. It's time for some good old fashioned entertainment!"

The gates shut, trapping the travelers inside. The crowd roared once again.

"What is this?" asked Vic.

"The eight of you will fight in a brutal death match. One of you will fail, and the victor will receive a prize. You will put on a little show for me and my band of reject elves. Our town grows bored without it."

"This is SICK." complained Greenday. "This isn't healthy!"

"HA! What do you know?" Simplton began. "You're telling the guy with over 6 years experience in these games. I know what's good for the town and what isn't."

"What kind of fight is this" asked Vic, still confused. Simplton reached behind him and tossed something down.



"A snowball fight." he said with a smile. Simplton raised two fingers into the air. "One will die. One will receive a prize. Fight hard and most importantly...put on a good show."

Simp flicked his fingers as a signal. The horns blasted once more as the crowd of hillbilly elves roared even louder. They wanted blood, and they were gonna get it.
