The City's Dark Jewel
#6
The current show was two men pounding one another. Hardly worth watching though there was a crowd favorite - there always was. Li didn't particularly care one way or the other. The amusement was not what he was seeking. Nor was the fight, but tonight didn't seem to be a special occasion. Li wondered when they'd bring out the beasts. Then he might actually give it a go.

The chair scrapped next to him and dark and beautiful sat down next to him. This was their first conversation, though they'd seen much of each other over the years. It was hard to forget the regular faces. Some harder than others. "I came looking for the darker things tonight. More work than pleasure." He said coolly with a smile. "Disappointed they cut you short?" Li knew men and women like her who would fight with even more of an injury than they sported, but blood really was very hard to get out. And the Almaz was always about profit. Getting one of their prized fighters dead was not good for their pockets.

Li turned his attentions from the ring to his now companion. The fight still wasn't interesting. Two brutes pounding one another was nothing - an everyday thing. A small thing like her, and one of them, now that's a fight worth watching. Though everyone here knew who would win. Death came in small packages, and Li knew this one was dangerous. He didn't want to ever be on the wrong side of her.
“What you must do," said Monkey, "is lure the monster from its hiding place, but be certain it is a fight you can survive.”
