Connections, Money and Secrets [Almaz]
#53
Jacob sat near the ring, he wasn't betting and others took closer seats and tables. He only wanted to watch one combatant, and the match was otherwise boring. Two grown men fighting to the death. Someone pushed a sword over the ledge and things got a little more interesting. When the third m an entered Jacob's eyes followed the glittering golden eyes and the feral look on his face. Maybe he had found the reason Nox fought here -- monsters availed the rings.

The two men prior ganged up on the new comer and it wasn't long before the boy joined the foray. He was missing an arm... What the fuck! Instead of a hand an iron rod and ball were attached... What had happened? Few survived monster attacks, most were deadly. Chopping off a limb was a quick means to saving a new bite of the chupa. Interesting...

But it was the things that followed next that drew Jacob to the edge of his seat. While Nox took a beating the mystery guest arrived. A fucking animal. But it didn't behave like any enraged animal he'd seen. And Nox seemed connected to it. He reacted when the creature got hit, or hurt. The fire ball roared and splattered against the creatures chest and Nox took a step back like he'd felt the pressure and intensity of his own doing.

He fell to the ground clutching at his throat when he ripped the head off the creature much like it had done to the first man it had reached. As they dragged Nox away stumbling in pain he muttered. "Burn the body."

Nox broke free of those guiding him away and fire encompassed the creature. The blood splatter on the ground erupted into flames like it had been ignited by oil. The boy looked more himself. The fire flickered in his eyes and Jacob new the kid was dangerous but he'd saved the wolfkin from harm. He'd kept the beast in the ring. He was killing the parasite... chupa weren't telepathic, the gorilla didn't look like a chupa infected creature -- didn't act like one. Was something else going on?

Jacob got up from his seat and headed for the door. He had much to think on.
