MMA System: I Will Be Pound For Pound Goat

The moon shone brightly in the Irish sky, lighting up the calm streets below.

Damon stood by his hotel room window, looking in the same direction he had been every night since he got there.

The city lay in front of him, busy yet quiet, but Damon was not feeling peaceful inside.

He shut his eyes, breathing deeply and steadily, struggling with his doubts.

The thought that had been bothering him for days came back and wouldn't go away.

Do I go through with this?

He stood there, the moonlight creating a slight shadow of him on the floor, with an unanswered question on his thoughts.

For the first time in a while, Damon didn't know what to do next.

Damon sighed deeply, and his breath made the window a bit foggy.

He quickly put on his jacket. He looked at Svetlana, who was sound asleep on the bed.

Her calm face made him pause briefly. Leaning down, he kissed her softly on the forehead before walking out of the room, careful not to make a sound.

In the parking lot, he got into the hired car, feeling the cold leather seat against his back.

He sat for a moment, holding the steering wheel tightly, with his mind racing.

Damon took out his phone, opened the GPS, and paused with his finger hanging over the screen.

He took a big breath and arrived at his destination: Limerick.

The GPS's soft light lit up the inside of the car while figuring out the route.

Damon looked at the screen, feeling a mix of confusion and resolve.

He quickly started the car and drove out of the parking lot, the engine's gentle sound mixing with the peaceful night.

The road stretched out ahead of him, and with every passing mile, the weight of his decision pressed heavier on his chest.

Whatever awaited him in Limerick, he was ready to face it.

Or so he hoped.

Damon drove through the quiet Irish night, the hum of the car engine the only sound accompanying him.

He didn't know what he wanted to find in Limerick, but he knew why he was going.

He had questions.

Questions that had haunted him for years. Questions that demanded answers he wasn't sure he was ready to hear.

His past lingered like a shadow, a weight he had carried for his entire life.

Every fight, every victory, every step forward had been a way to push it further behind him.

But now, it felt too close, too heavy to ignore.

He wanted clarity.

He wanted closure.

He wanted to face that chapter of his life and finally close it for good.

Svetlana was a new beginning for him, and if he was going to move forward, he needed to leave the past behind.

But that couldn't happen until he faced it head-on.

His foot pressed harder on the accelerator as the car sped along the winding roads.

His hands tightened around the steering wheel, his knuckles whitening from the pressure.

The moonlit road stretched out before him, endless and empty, but his mind was anything but clear.

Damon didn't know what lay ahead in Limerick, but he knew he couldn't turn back now.

More than an hour had passed since Damon had started driving.

The toll gate was behind him, and he had paid without a second thought, his focus entirely on the road ahead.

Now, as he entered Limerick, Damon felt a strange knot in his chest.

His grip on the steering wheel loosened slightly as he slowed the car, driving cautiously through the quiet streets.

Though it was late, there were still a few people out, small groups walking along the sidewalks, their voices faint in the distance.

The dim streetlights illuminated the familiar but distant cityscape, stirring something uneasy within him.

The sharp sound of his phone ringing broke through his thoughts.

He glanced at the screen and saw the caller ID: Svetlana.

For a moment, he hesitated. His hand hovered over the phone before he finally answered.

"Hey," he said, his voice calm but distant.

"Hey," Svetlana replied, her tone soft but laced with curiosity.

The silence stretched between them for a few seconds, neither rushing to fill it.

"I went for a ride," Damon said finally. "I'll be back."

"When?" she asked, her voice carrying a hint of concern.

Damon took a deep breath, his gaze fixed on the empty road ahead. "I'm in Limerick," he said quietly.

There was silence on the other end.

For a moment, he thought the call had disconnected, but then he heard her exhale, a mixture of understanding and worry.

"Okay," Svetlana said after a beat. "Just… be safe, alright?"

"I will," Damon replied.

They ended the call soon after, and Damon placed the phone back on the passenger seat.

He tightened his grip on the wheel and looked around.

The city that held so many unanswered questions now stood before him.

It was time to find the answers he'd been searching for.

Damon drove further into the city, the streets becoming more familiar with every turn.

His hands instinctively guided the car as his eyes scanned the surroundings.

Then he found it, the neighborhood he hadn't seen in years.

He slowed the car even more, the engine humming softly as he looked around.

The houses, the streetlights, even the cracked pavement, it all looked the same, almost frozen in time.

Memories flickered through his mind, uninvited but vivid.

Each corner he passed seemed to carry a piece of his past, one he wasn't sure he was ready to face.

Finally, he stopped the car in front of a small house.

It wasn't remarkable, but to Damon, it carried a thousand memories.

He turned off the engine, the sudden silence amplifying the sound of his own heartbeat.

For a moment, he just sat there, staring at the house.

This was it.

The place that had haunted his thoughts for so long.

Damon leaned back in his seat, taking a deep breath as he prepared himself for what was to come.
