MrSatan was taking a leisurely walk down a busy Saint Louis street when he was approached by several young children. They pulled at his cape as they jumped up, and down pleading for his autograph. MrSatan being a man who always cherished his fans obliged.

Here you are young ones why you’re here why don’t I tell you a little about myself?

The children shook anxiously as he took a seat on the street corner.

I grew up in Paducah, Kentucky the son of a simple farmer. We never had much money, but hell we didn’t need it. Everything we needed we grew or made. I guess that is where I got my work ethic from getting up at the crack of dawn, and working till the sun went down will do that for you.

When I was seven my father became ill, and was no longer able to manage the family farm so me, and my siblings were sent to New York to live with our aunt, and uncle. It was there that I had my first brush with the martial arts. There was a small American karate dojo a few blocks from our apartment. I would often stop after school to gaze at the fighters training through the window.

He stopped talking to remove a handkerchief from his robe, and wiped his brow before he continued.

After months of petitioning my uncle finally caved in, and enrolled me in classes. For whatever reason fighting came naturally to me, and I knew from my first class on that it was my calling in life. I advanced to a black belt in only 2 years, and by the time I was 16 I held a black belt in judo, karate, and kung fu.

However I was discontented with the impractical nature of these fighting styles, that’s when I began developing Satan Chi my own personal fighting style. At the age of 21 I decided to enter the world martial arts tournament, and as you already know I won it 5 years straight. However in my sixth competition I suffered a career ending knee injury.

A gloomy reflective look appeared on his face.

After that I just lurched through life with no purpose. Until one day I was approached by a man who was involved in a certain not so legal line of work. I never anticipated that I would find fulfillment in such a crude business, but much to my astonishment my fighting skills aided significantly in my ventures.

MrSatan stood up, and dusted off his cape that had been blemished by the grubby sidewalk.

I guess you could say what happens next is still a work in progress.

He flashed a gauche smirk, and threw his hand up making a peace sign before he walked away.

Singer walked with MrSatan and stopped to listen to him. Singer did no know he was a martial artist.

You know MrSatan I did not know you did Martial Arts maybe one day you could teach me a little of what you know. Hopefully i will get to hear this story go further.

BrianG overheard what Singer was saying

"You know Singer, you must be very impressed since you said it twice..
Would I be impressing you if I told you that I've been in martial arts for a bit over 18 years?
Well, I have been and it was fun, but then I went working, a relationship, marriage and a kid. From my point of view that's impressive too."

Directing his attention to MrSatan he said

"Maybe we should fight a match one day, should be fun.."

BrianG greeted both gentlemen and walked away

Singer smiles at BrianG.

I guess i did get overexcited and speak twice. I wasnt impressed that he was in martial arts more so that he won his own tournament and made his own type of Karate. I have studied in the art of MuayThai and Regular Boxing the fights that i have had were all ametaure and well I remained undefeated. But you are above me my dear friend for you have what i have not, a family of your own. That is a miracle and a blessing more than impressive. Im sure MrSatan would not be able to compete due to his knee i would have loved to have seen that match.

Singer smiles once more at both men and holds his tongue not to repeat himself.

Hearing what Singer told him, BrianG quickly turned back his attention to them

"I must admit that I didn't overhear the conversation quite as well as I should have before I replied. For that gentleman, I appologise.
MrSatan, I know how it is to be injured and not be able to compete but I can not at all know how it must feel knowing never to be able to compete again.
The carreerchoise you made is really suiting for you capacities and I'm sure you'll make it far in life, if you respect it.
Mr. Singer, do not dispear for life is to be lived each in its own way. If we were all the same, where would the challenge be? If your time to start a family of your own comes, then you'll be ready for it, trust me."

Singer hugs BrianG

You are a man above men brother. It is such an honor to know you.

Thanks man, means alot to me. Especially comming from you
