The sea of people huddled up on the sand around the circle of lit torches swallowed us. I was lost in the huddle and relied on Brennan to lead the way to the front of the crowd.

We finally settled at the very front. Only merely a few metres away from the circle where the fight would take place. One of the torches was so near that I could feel the heat of the naked flame on the side of my cheek.

While Brennan was on my left hand side, Reed stood on my right. The red headed male was on his phone and had the infamous Litora Bello page open.

The words Somnus versus Vulcan were written at the top of the page in gold font. That was above the two options to click on. The red thumbs down button and the green thumbs up button.

The crowd shouted impatient by the wait. Two cameras in either side of the ring rotated to capture the eagerness of the crowd.

My eyes also landed on the two men who looked out of place. They appeared like business men. Prim and proper with their suit and tie.

I poked Brennan on the arm before motioning to the pair of suits "Who are they?"

He followed the direction of my finger and what he seen made him smile as he answered "They are scouts from a sports programming network."

Looking up at him in confusion, I asked "What are they doing here?"

Brennan glanced again at them before replying "Do you remember what Stone said about trying to get Litora Bello legalised?"

"Yeah." I answered back while I thought back to what he had said at the hospital.

"My dad has been trying to get in contact with all sports companies in the country to try and get this mainstream." Brennan replied.

Both of my eyebrows raised in shock as I questioned further "Is that what the phone call was about when Mr Lewis told Stone to take the call outside of my hospital room?"

Reed responded instead "Stone has been insistent to get this all legal. To make something of himself."

"Out of all of us." Brennan corrected.

"He is the best. He will go the furthest." The red haired male replied.

That had landed a blow to Brennan's ego because he mumbled "Well, I am a better surfer than him."

"Why would he go to such lengths?" I interrogated before explaining "It is obvious that all of this is on the rise. It is becoming more popular and you are all making more money."

"Why do you think he is doing it?" Brennan challenged with a smirk.

Chuckling, Reed over pronounced his words as he spoke "For love."

The heat rose to my face. That time not because of the proximity of the torches.

A person entered the middle of the fighting ring. Someone familiar. I had seen him before. Brown hair and a distinctive scar over his eye.
