Comments: Conan is in a life and death battle for his life against a giant warrior, Krum-Va, the Carver. Conan is forced to fight in an arena for an enchantress, Athyr-Best. She is a gorgeous beauty dressed in green and gold. Cona, after the bloody fight, gets to sample the rewards.
Conan becomes the Champion of the arena, and he is a fierce, savage competitor. Conan fights for the enchantress’s gain. As he wins, she gains more leverage. She thinks she is in full control of Conan, and that he is her obedient slaveConan’s will fight against her magic. She is powerful. Conan is stubborn, though, and he will never give in.
The setting is in ancient times, when black magic was rampant and evil was unchecked. Warriors fought and died. The weak were preyed upon. Conan strides these lands, and he faces all the dangers with a steady hand. He is strong and a barbarian not to be underestimated.
Conan is shown as a survivor. His huge rippling muscles with a strong sword arm can always be depended on. He will fight on always.
