The witch in the park had gave him a card. He had been given his fortune too. But he hadn't wanted more of an explanation. That wasn't his thing. The monastery taught him to trust his faith. And that was voodoo... not his faith.
But the Alamz wasn't a place for either. It was a place for violence something the monastery would frown upon as well. But here Li was, and partially the reason why he wasn't still with the monastery. Faith hadn't been enough. His power called to him and it churned and beat at his soul with every use. But it was violent and abhorrent at times. The things it could do. And the Almaz was the perfect place to see that violence even if he didn't partake.
The girl in the ring was spurting blood and still willing to go. Li gave her credit she'd gone long rounds and fought giants of men. He had seen her before, but it had been a while. This wasn't a means to a career but it could be fun. But even though the Atharim would hunt him for being a god he still had the same thrill from the hunt, and the Alamz was using these creatures for their gain. It wasn't humane, but these people didn't know how dangerous it truly was either. Li didn't want to stop the profit but the wolfkin and the rougarou could have caused more damage if not for the gods here that night. The more dangerous creatures had to be destroyed, and Li would see to it. The more humanity the creature had the better the alamz would preform with anyway. The monsters were not going to give a show and once they were full they'd stop preforming. Enraging an Oni would be bad, they thought the steal ring would keep it in, but it was doubtful. The only true thing was death.
Li sat and watched as the girl left to the back. It'd been a while since he'd gone that way himself. Maybe in the future, when his mind wasn't strung out on finding the wolfkin of his last visit. But tonight nothing was happening out of the ordinary - at least not yet.

“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
