OOC: The structure of my story is going to be from Dungeons and Dragons rules, so spells and levels and such are all going to be from the DnD handbooks. You don't need to know anything about DnD to read, though, because it's more of for me then for you; it helps me keep them balanced.
I changed Seryth's twist cloth to velvet black robes with gold lining on the edges because no one knows what a twist cloth is...
Seryth woke up early on the morning of the arena battle. He got out of bed and splashed his face with water to shake off the sleep. He ran his hand through his stark white hair and pulled on his adamantine chain mail shirt, and put his black robe on over it. He strapped his katanas (also adamantine. In the Underdark, where Seryth is from, all weapons and armor are made from adamantine, favored for it's hardness and low weight) to his back and put leather bracers on his wrists.
Most arena battles didn't allow wizards to have their familiars with them, but Seryth supposed that because the rules were "by whatever means necessary" that Rhithik would be allowed. Rhithik had been studying some illusion magic, but he still wasn't very good.
Seryth shuffled downstairs to order some food. He dined on an apple and some bread washed down with cider, and exited the inn. He kept his hood low and his head bowed, despite the nice morning. He didn't want to alarm the citizens. Rhithik flew lazily above him, twirling about to the delight of passerby.
All around him, Seryth could see the signs of people preparing for the battle. Warriors hurried in and out of the armorer's and weaponsmiths shops, admiring their new purchases. The large crowds that the battle would draw would get hungry, so the vendors would need to be ready with lots of food and drink.
As Seryth walked by a dark alleyway, a figure called to him. Hey you. In the black robes. Come here for a second... Seryth walked into the alley, fearing nothing. If this fool was a common thief, he'd be in for quite a surprise. What do you want? Seryth said in a rather menacing voice. Relax, my friend. I have a proposition to make. I saw you coming out of the Imperial Inn, so that must mean that you are going to participate in the arena battle. I will be as well. It would be of great benefit to the both of us if we were to work together. I protect you back, you protect mine kind of. I chose you because I don't want some big lumbering warrior at my back. You seem swift, like me. We could compliment each other in battle. What do you say?
Seryth thought for a moment. The man was right, there it would be of great benefit to them both if they worked together. But he still didn't really trust the man. There was nothing he could do about it now, though, the man certainly looked like a skilled fighter, and through a quick Detect Magic spell, it was easy to see the man had many magical items. The most powerful of which Seryth just realized he held in his hand. It was a small, jagged dagger, with a jeweled hilt. The man held it so casually that it seemed as though it was part of his hand.
Alright. What is your name?Seryth said. My name is Artemis. I'm ready to go when you are. I'll meet you here wheneverreplied the man. Let's go now. I'm ready. I suppose I should tell you now, My name is Seryth. And I am a Drow. Seryth withdrew his hood, and looked at Artemis.
His face showed no sign of emotion, not surprise or anything. He just muttered I've worked with Drow before...
Without another word, he turned and lead the way to the arena.

Well this seems to be a pretty good story as well, but I did see one problem.
You ran together whenever and replied in the third to last paragraph

No mispells, I like it. This is based off of forgotten realms right?

yay!
This story won't be updated very often. I write during my study hall, but lately I've been swamped with work.
