Loona the Caretaker

One Way Trip To The Wrath Ring

Practicing in the IMP Headquarters, Cody was slowly improving with using his dual axes in the dummies in the room. Cody also was improving his gun skills with the revolver.

Loona looked on as she was watching her adopted little brother slowly get better with handling weapons. Hell, maybe if Cody had the bloodlust, he would be one of IMP's greatest employees.

Vortex himself was happy to see how Cody was slowly handling himself with his weapons. His arms were crossed and he was smiling to see the kid slowly improve as much as Loona was happy. Of course, Loona was worried that the kid might hurt himself by accident by accidentally slicing one of his fingers off with an ax blade. "Go get 'em, kiddo!" Blitzo encouraged. "Make those dummies suffer so badly! Worse than the lake of fire!"

"Cody's doing well, sir." Moxxie said. "Not as good as us but still good."

"What do you expect, honey? He's still a kid." Millie said.

"Do you think he'll cut his fingers off?" Asked Loona.

"No, he'll be fine." Said Blitzo. "It's not like it's a baby swinging those axes."

"I know that as much as the next guy, dipshit." Loona rolled her eyes. "He wouldn't talk if he was a baby."

Millie's cellphone rang and answered it. "I gotta take this, guys." While swinging at more scary dummies, he wondered if Tommy would be proud of him for trying to be a fighter. After all, Tommy was a soldier.

And he wondered if his parents would be proud of him for trying to learn how to defend for himself from a mugging or any kind of dire situation similar to that.

He was caught by surprise when he heard Millie squeal with joy like a teenage fan girl over a boy band. "What? What is it?" He exclaimed after accidentally throwing one of his axes in the air. Luckily it didn't hurt anyone and landed on the floor with a loud "clang!" Sound.

"Sorry if I scared ya, sweetie." said Millie. "But my mommy and daddy are hosting a race at their farm."

"A horse race?"

"Close. A pig race." Millie pointed. "We choose a pig to ride on and the winner gets a trophy."

"Cool." Cody remarked. "Where's the Wrath ring?"

"Just one floor down from us." Said Blitzo.

"You guys gotta come with us to see the race."

"Is it a long drive?" Asked Cody

"Not far." Said Moxxie. "And we also take elevators to the rings."

"elevators?" Cody looked confused

"I know I know it's weird." Said Vortex, "but Hell works in mysterious ways."

Cody realized the hellhound was right. "That makes perfect sense.

"Wait is it ok for Cody to go down there?"

"Relax, Loona." Said Millie. "You can come like you came last time.

"Ah, right." Cody said.

"The event will last for one whole day." said Moxxie, looking at the text.

The kid had a thought. "What about school? I don't wanna catch up on more school work as homework."

"The book, remember?" Loona gently patted the grimwoire. "With this, anything is possible."

"Oh yeah. Why do I keep forgetting that."

"But what if your parents don't like Cody?" Asked Moxxie. "They hate me enough as it is, but what about Cody?"
