Ink swells in a storm of his own creation. Death lingers on the lines in-between his story, lingering pieces of a tale still being spun. Duke Nixton died because of Dyno Moreno. The call had been his own. The water was the best idea he'd had in keeping the odds in their favor, but all of that came crashing down with Dorothy Hope. Gritting his teeth, the disappointment is heavy. The irony of feeling like he's responsible, but also knowing he was going to take all the life from Duke Nixton by the end of the games is a warring feeling in his head. Shaking all of that away with the water, he pulls Svetlana back to the shallower part of the pond. Orange and white fish swarming away from their splashing bodies as Dyno grits his teeth.
"I keep my promises." The smirk on his lips is filled with the trickling blood from his wound, the taste of metal burns through his lips with his grin. Swinging his foot up, he collides with her weapon knocking it away from them. Grinning from where he stands, he tosses his katana to the other side before speaking once more with the same ferocity he'd had before. "Do you?" The thrum of his own heart in his ears is all he hears as he circles her for a second. Like a predator who's got his prey where he wants them, but he's smart enough to know Svetlana Forrester isn't some weak tribute here. No, he'd seen her as a threat since their spar. Forresters were a cult of a family with plenty of ferocity of their own, but Dyno Moreno was born to kill. Born to kill all who oppose him.
"Don't you see, Svet? You're going to just be another name. Another forgotten soul in the arena." The tension is there for him. The air feels as if it's halted for them as the sound of water is barely in his ears as he continues. "There is not foreshadowing for me. I know where my story is going. I've known since I was born. You are just another footnote in my story. A name to remember when they tell my story." A laugh falls from his lips as he rushes her once more, this time trying to put all of his weight onto her and knock her over. He wants to have the edge, the advantage, and he wants to be in control. This story is his and his alone. Even if he has to beat the ink into his own scrawl, he'll always swing hard.
