Violence had never been Ashton's thing. He chose love over violence any day. This whole thing was wrong but Mistress Blackthorn had insisted. She had a special treat waiting for his mark.
Ashton had no idea what it was. Was it this match? The golden eyed man? Or was it the beast that savaged the men in the ring before brutally dying itself. Ashton sat and watched the whole spectacle with wide eyes and a growing feeling in his stomach. It was nausea, but it was more than that. He wanted to double over and hurl at the sight of the men being ripped apart. But what really scared him was the invisible nature of the way his mark fought. Tiny glipses of the power he held. The Ascendancy transformed a massive structure into something far more complicated and it was awe inspiring, but this -- this was deadly.
The creature's head popped off it's body like a childhood dandylion might have, with just a flick of the thumb but this was the size of a log. Ashton stared in uttere horror. How was he ever going to keep a man like that from doing the same thing to him once he found out what he was doing. Ashton didn't wait to see what happened after the head fell to the ground, he hurried out of his seat and away from the ring.
And walked right into someone...
