the eye
"Not at all." Cian replies, verbally waiving away Ronin's slight. "I'm merely a planner. When you play chess, you don't consider your opponent manipulative for putting the pieces where they need to go." He adds, the smoke from his cigar smelling of wood and winter.
"The stakes can be as high or low as you want, depending on how much you bet." Now that Ronin knows the terms, the Eye pulls open the door. Within are the sounds of flesh being slammed against flesh, though in a decidedly different way from Molly's.
The Eye disappears inside, leaving it up to Ronin to decide for himself what to do. Should the Star enter, he'll find a dingy and dimly lit foyer. Candles burn in holders covered with wax, and everywhere are dust and cobwebs. There is a single door leading down a rickety flight of stairs that twist down several stories. At the bottom is another door, and when opened, it seemingly leads to another world: there are rings upon rings upon rings, and around all of them are screaming and cheering fans. The lighting here is just as dim, focused only on the fighters in each ring, disguising the onlookers who crowd around. Intentionally, you think.
