Nothing Left to Lose
by Mira Nova
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He gnawed his bottom lip so hard he soon tasted blood. But that was nothing compared to what could happen.
He'd known pain before; it came with every breath of his existence. But physical pain? He didn't want to think about it. He couldn't let himself get frazzled. He was the best, and so he put on his best game face. But he was unsteady and shaking; he may lose his balance through his own fault. Was it just cold up here? It couldn't be fear. What did he have to be afraid of?
Everything, at the moment. The thought of never seeing his little brother again, leaving him at the hands of those madmen, them using him to take over his company. Then there was that puny Celtic Guardian, ready to charge. One command to attack would be his death sentence. He knew his opponent didn't have it in him, but his opponent had changed. Would he attack? Then again, did it matter?
His life had never really meant that much to him when he thought about it. He was a slave to his company, his brother, his cards, a slave of this world. Would he be better off dead? He had already lost his whole world, his company, brother, and the outcome of the game was obvious.
Yes, he would lose, and he would die. Yet, it was almost a comforting thought. So why not tempt Death? He had nothing left to lose.
