Power isn’t Everything, Dante’s Story

A Fully Recovered Celtic
 

The Celtic Fire, or just Celtic as many shortened it to, sat in the locker room with his head against the wall. It had been a little over two months since the cowardly but brutal attack from Aki. He needed this time to recover from bruised ribs, messed up face, and nearly (read totally) destroyed abdominal wall. Shifting his weight he placed a hand on his chest, then stomach. The pain had finally stopped, the burning had gone out, but the memory would live on. The guys at the gym, for all their hyper-masculine attitudes, were sympathetic to him, knowing the deviousness of the situation. It wasn’t just a normal fight he had; the boy had cheated, and with brass knuckles no less. Sure, he won in the end, but at a VERY high price. 

Such was now in the past, and was over and done with. 

Now? Now he was back in the game, he was fit and ready for the world. He had hit the gym for several days before the first offer for a fight came in. While the thrill of the fight was screaming back inside of him, for once fighting was in your blood, it never really left, he was still nervous. What if he had had a misstep? What if he had a flashback in the middle of a fight? One false move and he knew he would never fight again.

To say he was left shaken from the event would be an understatement.

A Painful Beginning: Celtic's Story P2

A badly hurt Celtic Fire.


It wouldn’t nor shouldn't have taken Celtic that long to get ready, but he needed this time, any time really, to recover. With his adrenaline starting to wear off, the true nature of the pain inflicted upon him cam roaring back. Even worse, the previous cowardly attack had taken its toll, more so than he was willing to admit. His chest heaved with pain as he tried to breath and center himself. His arms burned from the counter attack and extended work out, and his stomach... well that was just gone. Reaching into his locker, even this act causing some pain, he pulled out two leather black and green gloves and put them on. He clenched his fists hard and threw a few mock punches in front of the mirror. Mentally, he was ready for this fight, already seeing Aki knocked the hell out and begging to leave. Realistically, all he would have to do would be to block and/or dodge all of Aki’s hits, easy win right? Aki could barely lift one hundred pounds, what damage could he do in the ring, when faced with a real fight? No, Celtic had done the same a million times before, so this should be no different.


A Painful Beginning: Celtic's Story


Our main character, the Celtic Fire.

 

His name was, or more given to him, Celtic Fire. Earned for his rather fiery and emotional personality, he was the type of man who would love you like a son one second, then beating this shit out of the person who insulted you the next. He was, however at this moment, finishing up his workout. Keeping mostly to himself, the other guys respected his alone time. It was an odd thing with men and the gym. If you put forth effort, no matter what shape or size, they would respect you for it. If you came back and stayed hungry, you would earn even more of their respect. If you paid your dues, and did what had to be done, this was your place. It would be your second home. Nothing was given freely here, everything had to be earned. It was hard but there was respect, and honestly no one here would have it any other way.

"Uggggghh fuck me" he mockingly said to himself.  

While the work out was amazing, not to mention absolutely amazing for killing stress, the intense part was working on his body hard. He, like any other guy, would curse, bitch and complain to himself, but he would keep going. The pain didn't matter, it was just weakness leaving the body. Celtic was always hungry for a better looking body, and he would not stop till he got it. For too long, he was the little shit, the little guy, the guy who could stand up to no one. Now that he was on his own, he would no longer tolerate being so weak, or so helpless. So, while allowing his heavily tattooed body some air, he was blasting chest and arms pretty hard. Sure, boxing was enjoyable, especially with this annoying guy always running his mouth and looking for a fight with him, it wasn’t the only way to build muscle. 

Just... the more fun way of doing it. 

Grunting under his breath, and trying not to show pain, his body became drenched in sweat. He had to dig deep and focus hard to finish this fifth and final rep on the bench. It was a new record for him after all, two hundred and twenty pounds. His arms strained under the weight and his chest heaved fast. His chest hair (at least what he had) was soaked and his head hair was even worse. But he would not let this beat him, he would rise up, man up! With a final push, the set was done. He had done it. Clicking the bar into place he sat up to catch his breath. While working out had proven positive effects on the male persona, not to mention the increase testosterone had him feeling great, the smell that came with it sucked serious man balls. No lady enjoyed the smell, and even men would tolerate it for so long. So after cleaning off the equipment, he made a straight line for the locker room. The day was done and he needed a shower bad… like real bad.

After a rather lengthy shower, that was always set to “Bitch what’s with you getting fucked by Satan” hot water, and trim, he made his way back to his locker, wrapped tightly in his towel. While it was perfectly acceptable for men to wear little or nothing while in the locker room, Celtic wasn’t quite up to that level of showing off or fun and fancy free. Maybe after dropping some weight and putting on a couple pounds of muscle?

Maybe.

After changing into his fresh clothing, he turned to leave, but not before accidentally bumping into someone…

“Excuse me bro didn’t –“
