Hunter (Guy Erma and the Son of Empire Book 2)

He's the boy who should not exist...

He does not know who his mother is, his father is long gone. His home is a dusty attic, the streets and markets are his playgrounds, an overcrowded school his only haven. He is Guy Erma.

With a whispered prayer, Guy Erma kissed his Dome medallion and slid it inside his shirt. He stepped up to the edge of the mat. In truth, he knew he did not need God’s help today. No, all he needed to win this fight was to be ruthless and to be quick. The bell had rung. To delay now was to be disqualified. Guy gripped the short fighting blades and somersaulted forward. He landed within easy reach of his opponent.

He twisted into a spinning high kick that caught and whacked the other’s shoulder pad. He found his feet while the other was still off-balance, then crouched and sliced his other leg in a circle just off the floor. In so doing, he swept his opponent’s feet from under him. The other boy fell. Guy was quick to leap up and on top of him, riding astride his adversary’s chest with two blades pressed to his neck.
“Do you yield?” Guy roared into his face. “I yield… I yield…”
The other was so fearful he almost wept, and to see this sent a thrill through Guy stronger than any other emotion. His heart beat fast. He rose panting, exhilarated and joyful: He had won!
No-one was watching. Why would they? Across the vast competition space, there were over two dozen blades mats. Almost all played host to a fighting duo. As always, his gaze was drawn to where the gym opened onto the vast panes and verticals of the Dome. The light was bright, yet dark geometric shadows fell across the room. Guy loved this gym. He felt he always fought better here, in the light and shadows of the Dome.
In the light and the shadows of the Dome, so help me God.
It was a prayer of the Dome Elite.
One day I will say those words, thought Guy, and wear that uniform.
Now that’s a real prayer. He sighed. So help me God.
