Time never seemed to pass.

who even invented time? Why did time exist? Time is nonsense. It simply did. not. exist. Time is the enemy of the human race. Not only for humans though, also for the non-humans among us. Time is only the sense that tells us there is another day of hunger, another day closer to death, yet is death too far away from being reached out.

The Prince had seen death a lot in front of his death, by every single battle he fought. Only one person was meant to survive, to get out of the arena, and that was something The Prince knew. 

He looked at the window and saw by the setting of the sun it was getting late. Which meant he might be called for a battle. Battles didn't happen every night, but it wasn't quite clear when they happened, some close to sunrise, some close to sunset, some deep in the night at the unholy hours like 3am. It was a strange life he lived, but for The Prince it was completely normal. He really didn't know what hell of a life he lived.

He swirled his sword, and practiced his battle skills by balancing and jumping, by slaying invisible beings he summoned into view. 

It was one of his special features or skills he had.

Flexibly he fought the view-manipulated creatures till none was left. It made him hungry, once again he looked at the window to see how much time has past, enough time to make the sky dark and starry. The Prince moved to the wall and leaned against it, sliding down to a sitting position, legs pulled up and arms rested on top of them, he buried his head in his arms and yawned, ignoring the hunger and slight exhaustion he felt. He knew it could be considered a failure to be tired from a little training session. It meant he wasn't good enough to be sure he could leave the battle without wounds (if he was called to battle, after all).

The Prince waited all night, he expected to be taken to the battlefield, but nothing happened (this night).
