Character Introduction: Zarrin Ashira“Fuck,” Zarrin mumbled as Amir prodded the skin where a bruise should have been forming. “Do you really have to do that?”Amir in turn just grinned. “The Fox beat you good and proper this time, didn’t they?” As usual, he seemed to delight in the idea that someone could have brought his best friend to his knees. One day, Zarrin vowed, he would find a way to make Amir tremble as his pain.“Whoever they are, they’re good.” Zarrin put some ice to his eye. Due to his immortality, the bruise would never form, though that did not mean he did not feel the pain. The ice brought a welcome numbness to his skin. A numbness that he feared he had come to rely on. “Too good I would say.”It was true, for almost two hundred years Zarrin had worked his way up the illegal fighting rings that had formed in Shainen, and he had beat every opponent with frustrating ease. Now, he had finally worked his way up to fighting the Fox and it was frustrating how difficult it was to bring them to their knees.Amir just shook his head, his honey coloured eyes gleaming with humour. “You’re only saying that because you can’t imagine any of us lesser folk being better than you.”Zarrin bristled at the comment. “No. I just think it should be more difficult for a common Hydra to best me, is all.” After all, wasn’t his right as Crown Prince to best his subjects? -- source link
