But so far everything checked out. Except for the entrance through the brothel that was, which the holonet series had converted to a dance club to keep the series rated PG. But the stairs down to the lower levels, the fighting pit, even the purple robes were all featured in the series. This made Luke wonder how on Earth, or better in this case, Corellia, the makers of the show had been able to get so many of the details right... Something suddenly smelled fishy about this favourite childhood series of his...
Anyways, he took in the scene. The crowds of people, a vibrant mix of the rich and poor, the serving girls and the fights and its fighters. No brawls or gambling the boss had said. But when he spotted the next fighter preparing to get in the ring, Luke felt that this was going to be an order that would be quite difficult to follow.
The fighter he was looking at was covered in ornate tatoos and wore a purple coloured bathrobe. The ring for now was empty, but to get to this guy he had to go through several rows of burly looking men, who seemed to keep away anyone who came to close to the fighter.
So how to get close enough to this Guildmember to have a talk?
The bell rang and another fighter appeared in the ring. The row of burley men opened a path for the Guildmember, who strode confidently into the ring. The other fighter was pumping adrenaline, the tattooed member of the Guild of the Taken expressed a serene calm. The bell rang again and the other fighter raced for the Guildmember, screaming and going for a full on attack. The Guildmember simply stepped aside and faster than the eye could see struck out at the other man's neck. The was a loud sound of something breaking, the fighter slumped dead to the floor. The bell rang once more, the fight was over. The Guildmember retreated back into the ring of burly men.
The stage had been set.
