At the back of his mind Ziirphael felt like he should be annoyed. Annoyed at whichever of his fellow contestants had gone and gotten themselves killed, which in turn had wasted the opportunity he had had to dispatch a more pressing foe. He knew this was the emotion he should feel but it was overwhelmed by a sense of involuntary joy. This park smelled of death. He could smell the blood and the fear of those who had died here. It brought a smile to his face. There was something in this park, something horrible, a predator with blood on it's breath and evil in it's heart.

"Ziirphael?" the lich asked impatiently.

Ziir quickly snapped out of his reverie. He noted that he still had hold of the lich, and that they were hovering some distance above the ground. He began to fly down.
"There has been great carnage here, at the hands of an awful predator." Ziirphael stated, unable to hide the joy in his voice. "It revels in the thrill of death and murder, like I once did. I believe I could talk it into being our weapon against Ekelhaft. Opinions on the matter?" Ziirphael and Konka landed on an empty section of the park, where the floor was made from cracked concrete with long weeds growing up through the cracks. Around them were rusted children's play structures, broken and splattered with blood. Ziirphael grinned widely, this was his kind of place.
