The sound of the crowd erupting through the double doors in front of me is deafening, and will easily be the biggest crowd I've ever fought in front of. But I'm not one prone to stage fright, never have been, and could never afford to be with a figure such of mine, which I showed off with pride constantly. I'm held currently though, the large oak doors into the pit menacing in their appearance, with large locking apparatuses imprinted into both, obviously meant to ensure that whatever happens in the pit, remains in the pit until it's run its course! On the other side of the doors, however, there is chanting, an uproar, an increase in the atmosphere that seems set as if to splinter the doors apart in front of me... the Pit must now be lit, and the crowd anxiously awaiting the participants.
Now slowly, the large doors begin to open towards me, and bright artificial lights flood through the room I was waiting in, lit from the Pit itself, casting every shadow directly down, and leaving not an inch of the room in shade or darkness. The grand spectacle of such an environment from the other side of the spectators stand cannot be understated. With all eyes cast upon me, there is nowhere to hide, nor should there be. There is no detail that is left unfinished or forgotten in this space, no position hidden from the spotlights, and I intend to bask in all of it for as long as I can.
As I make my way into the arena, the light shimmering off of my slightly damp blonde ponytail, glistening across my red two-piece and the fine layer of sweat the sits upon my breasts and abs, the roaring atmosphere falls almost silent... although only for me, lost in the moment. The crowd is going nuts, as I fill space in front of them, staring across at the other door. The sound of blood rushing through my body is heard by me alone, seemingly drowning out all else around me... just the rapid, methodical thudding as I wait in anticipation.
I stand on the mark left for me, just a small imprinted circle on the floor in the pit, barely noticeable from the spectator's position, but one that indicates to me an equal point from the wall behind me, where my door slams closed, and the following thud confirms the locks in place and the center of the pit itself. Forced now to wait having made my entrance, and lost myself in the grandeur of the moment to make a serious spectacle of myself, there is another natural silence that befalls the room, as the doors on the opposite end are yet to open.
