A similar silence settled in, the round was changing once more and once again Zeke had to bare with the eternity and the instant of the transistion. Zeke simply sat there and waited.
The new world draped past the last like a curtain, Zeke's calm was quickly replaced with one of panic. He quickly stood up and looked round quickly. "What the..." It was a rare time in which Zeke was genuinly suprised.
An entire casino beckoned before him. Slot machines and green tables littered the bright red carpet, the sound system bellowed out music, acommpying the chimes of the various machines. But that wasn't the most surprising part, what was surprising was the fact that there were people here!
The whole Casino bustled with people, all wearing tuxedo's and dresses, it all seemed alien to Zeke, until he noticed everyone was heavily armed. Despite the heavy weaponry everyone carried, Zeke stuck out like a sore thumb in his ragged leathers
"Y'alright mate?"
Zeke quickly turned round, putting his arms up, he saw a bearded man in an apron, cleaning a glass with a towel, he had a huge battleaxe strapped to his back. Zeke appeared to be right next to a bar.
"Whoa, calm down, jeez. Anything I can get ya?"
Zeke was lost for words, he had spent the last four rounds in isolation, the only people around being those he needed to kill, he soon snapped out of it "Err...W...water?"
The barkeeper gave Zeke a distant look "Comin up." He quickly headed towards a tap and filled a glass, placing it on the bar near Zeke.
Zeke took the glass and downed the water in one go, the barkeeper glanced over the bar.
"You should really get that fixed up mate."
Zeke looked in confusement as he put the glass down. He tipped his head down to see Itzal's dagger still lodged into his ankle "Great. We don't heal anymore." Zeke went down and pulled the dagger out with a grunt, he ripped a bit of fabric from his tattered clothes and wrapped it round his ankle. Zeke came back up to face the barkeeper.
"Could I get some more water please?
