Love & War: The Black Moons

Chapter 30: Sleeping Lion

New York City is still under chaos. There are still cars abandoned in traffic pileups throughout the streets. One of them was being worked on by Alex who just finished the suspension. As he was closing the hood, Dhalsim approaches.

"I have something I need to ask you," Dhalsim said.

Alex scoffs at this request, as any Manhattanite would do.

"You a mugger? I heard it's happening around the neighborhood recently."

Alex looks ready to fight.

"Wait. Listen to Me!"

"You picked on the wrong guy!"

Dhalsim's words will have to wait as they fight. Dhalsim's mastery of Yoga was something new to Alex, and seemed outmatched. If there's one thing Alex is not known for is giving up. He manages to trump the Yoga master. He then return to what he was doing until Dhalsim teleported in front of him.

"You still wanna do this?"

"Clam yourself down. I am truly not a mugger."

"What are you?"

"My apologies. I would like for you to give that piece to me."

Dhalsim points to the piece in Alex's trailer next to his fighting trophies.

"Oh that? That's no big deal. Take it."

"My thanks." Alex hands him the piece with a four-prong crown.

"One more thing: Sometime in the future you will feel that you want to seek answers. When that time comes, you must turn your eyes to the world."

Dhalsim disappears, leaving Alex slightly confused.
