Day One: Early Morning

[Retane]

The mercenary stood over his fallen competitor, having already relieved him of his weapons, and frowned as he was utterly clueless as to how such a pathetic excuse of a fighter could be allowed into the Abyss. The black humanoid laid there unconscious and battered with a broken leg. But he had made an attempt to save the jade feind, even knowing who he was. It wasn't real wise on his part, as Rubb would wake up and soon find out.

Retane moved from the 'would be' corpse and approached a sturdy bush that was nearby and with a strong grasp, ripped it from it's roots. Peice by peice, the merc tore the limbs from the roots and tossed them nearby Dubb's body. As he finished, leave the bushes main stock on the ground as well, the namekian turned and casually walked away.

The namekian had decided to spare the new guy so that he could really feel and learn what it was like to be a wounded, defenceless animal on an island with so many eager predators. Rubb would now have to learn to survive the Abyss.

The mercenary adonned the gloves he had retreived from the fallen, and forced the claws come forth and retract with certain movements of his hands and arms. Feeling the sting of his face the merecnary wiped two fingers across the side of his face to reveal that his was bleeding. Retane smirked as he figured that it was a fitting trade, a clawed scar for the clawed gloves. The merc took Dubbs rations and bag and stuffed it into his own further increasing the struggle that the man would soon have to face.

Retane didn't give the fight another thought as he left the campsite, as he had his own issues to worry about. He still didn't have any answers to the questions that he so desired. Looking up into the sky at the moon the rogue was sure he had plenty of time to learn, as the night was not yet weening. Feeling the boost of confidence and eagerness he had once long ago felt, he took off into a run, crouching low, his ears, eyes, and nose on the ever alertness for other foes and victims.

He was once again that feral beast that should be feared.

And the Abyss was his territory.
