The Paths Of Power

After the intense sparring session, Damien called everyone to sit down. There was a palpable sense of anticipation in the room. Darryl, still recovering from his use of Royal Flush, sat with a contemplative look on his face. Constantine, Kento, Shift, and Jane all focused intently on Damien, eager to hear what he had to say.

"First of all, congratulations," Damien began. "You all managed to land a hit on me. That might not seem like a big deal, but trust me, very few people have ever managed to bypass my barriers and actually hit me." he said.

"I'm not going to sugarcoat it. I'm Damien fucking Laurent. In this city, I'm the pinnacle of power. You know what the only thing the Mage Association, the Night Court and the Cathedral Paladins have in common?" he paused.

"Gee, I wonder what," Constantine said with an eyeroll. Damien ignored the sarcasm and carried on.
