The victory party didn't last very long, even if he only had the champion left, Damian himself.  If she beet him the real party would begin.  Either way, as Damian walked up to his student/ future opponent and decided it was time to break the news.<br/><br/>"On a scale of one to ten how drunk are you?"  He asked his seated and slightly tipsy looking friend.<br/><br/>"Four, I was fine till that drinking contest."  She looked over at her defeated opponent.<br/><br/>"Well good that means you'll probably remember this in the most positive way possible."  Grabbing a sear he sat down, facing Mini.  "A fed came here today, and unlike the usual, it was good news.  It turns out, your brother who you've been looking for the last few years, he works for them.  And he's been looking for you too."<br/><br/>At this point of time, Mini fainted.<br/>Damian grabbed her before she hit the floor and carried her to her room.  After he placed her down, he sat on the edge of her bed, looking at her, and remembering all he could.<br/><br/>She had showed up a few years ago, she was seventeen then.  At first she'd just stay here for the day then leave, but eventually she asked if she could stay.  Damian said sure.<br/><br/>She was always interested in the fights, and one day she asked Damian if she could fight to.  Damian himself had never taught someone how to fight, at least not past the basics, so he figured what the hell.  She took to it like a natural, being a Gnoll gave her a natural edge against her opponents, much like Damian had only not quite so much.<br/><br/>She quickly grew in strength and popularity among the spectators.  She had always made Damian proud, and she was an inspiration to all the other kids Damian took care of.  But all the time she was trying to find her brother, she was convinced he was wandering the streets after her father disappeared, but it turns out that the leader had done more than taken care of her father.<br/><br/>Damian got up from the bed and walked into the main room of his house.  The fighting ring was in the basement, which was accessed by a stairway outside, which was the main entrance, and one inside, which only Damian and ha employees used.  The Main floor was where basically every homeless kid in the city slept.  Damian couldn't feed them all but he sure as heck could shelter them all.  Thy were strewn all over the place, the youngest on the beds the oldest on the ground.<br/><br/>Damian himself slept on in the attic, which everyone refereed to as the dragons roost.  Damian climbed up there and looked around.  The name fit pretty well.  Rather than gold or jewels, his roost was covered in pictures.  Every single kid he had ever helped to make a living in this world, all 33 years of them.  Nobody ever came up here except Damian, so nobody ever saw it.  And Mini thought she was the first.<br/><br/>Taking off his hoody, he looked himself in the mirror.  His scale covered body looked rather dirty today, he'd have to clean it.  Checking for any loose scales, he found that one on his left elbow had come loose.  Pulling it out, he put it in his back pocket, alongside three others.  His own personal calling card.  Checking were the old scale had been, he saw that the new one was already growing in.<br/><br/>Seeing as how there was nothing left to do, he sat on his bed and looked out the window, giving himself a perfect view of the bridge.  He always likes that bridge.
