The tales of Eron Mathuin and Thor Gothod

 Getting back to the story of Bruno's life up until this point...

After meeting Oren and his group of mutants another mutant quickly got Bruno's attention and earned his respect.

Beastman Thor Gothod

As Bruno entered Oren's secret hideout, he smelled the sweet fumes of obscura and lho sticks.  He heard laughing and lots of conversations.  He also saw tables and chairs, a bar with a bar keep, people of all walks of life: some obvious mutants some not so obvious, drinking talking and playing various games of chance.

Oren was not only running a secret haven for mutants who were rejected from society but also a speakeasy and gambling den.

One mutant stood out from the rest.  He was playing cards at a table not far from the entrance and he had to horns sticking out of his head, had hooves, fur and had goggles on his head with multiple magnifiers made for seeing things that were very small.  He had a cigar in his mouth and was boasting how his hand was by far the best at the table and was daring the mutant with blue skin across the table from him to bet against him.

The blue-skinned mutant then slammed his hand on the table and screamed at the beastman that he was cheating. The blue-skinned mutant pulled a stub revolver and was about to shoot when the beastman slapped the pistol out of his hand, jumped on the table and was about to gore the blue-skinned mutant when a huge man on the other side of the table grabbed the blue-skinned mutant by the arm and grabbed the beastman by the neck with his large metal claw that had at one point replaced his arm, and picked them both up.

 

"I am trying to play cards!" the big man yelled.  "Settle down Thor and Eron" said Oren, "let's not put off our new friend just yet."  Oren nodded sidelong at Bruno.

Eron put them both down and the beastman grunted and said "That hurt Eron!" and the blue-skinned mutant ran out the door.  

"Meet two of my closest friends; Thor Gothod and Eron Mathuin."  Bruno raised an eyebrow and was quite impressed with the speed and ferocity of both of them.

Eron Mathuin

Up next the story continues with Ood Nephroi and Duala Nixfleet.

Until then...
