The last thing i remember was being stabbed in the chest by a man whom i had trusted. I had betrayed my friends and family to foil the plans of HAMHR and i died having them believe i died. Well in case you get this Dana i am alive but there are things i have to do. I still have to find out who killed my parents and i have to make sure HAMHR doesnt hurt any of you, especially you.

Noah Sumners

Noah folded the letter and slid it into the envelope. He handed it to a man who walked out of the room he was in. Noah sighed and slid his hand through his hair. After a few moments he stood up and walked to his closet he had and opened it revealing a dark hooded attire. He changed into the clothes and slung the quiver with arrows over his shoulder. He picked up his bow and walked out of the room. He walked into the main chamber of the mountainous base he was in.

"good luck" said a fellow member "Telum, i hope you find the answers you seek"

Noah stood silent, he was still getting used to that name. He knew he had to get used to it, Blackwing was gone, and Noah Sumners was killed about a month ago. All he was was Telum now. Noah pulled the hood over his head and slipped on the half mask he held in his other hand. He stepped to the outside of the monastary and there stood Scythe, his hood covering his identity.

"so your here to see me off" asked noah

"as my heir Telum" said the man "i would adives you not to do this, but seeing as how you are insistent on getting out into the world, i will give you this"

Scythe handed noah a elegant sword.

"this blade has been handed down to every heir that will eventually lead the Cult" he said "it hasa history of slaying those who have doneill-will to the Cult and since you have been killed and reborn it is assumed you are going after the ones who killed you"

Noah nodded and took the blade. Scythe stepped aside and as Noah walked to the edge and dropped off the cliffside.

Weeks later

...

Noah sat in a save house the Cult had in Rome. He was tailing a high member within HAMHR and had found him in Rome. He looked out the window to the streets below and sighed. He closed the blinds to th window and sat down on his bed, he looked down at a photo he had of Dana and picked it up. After a few moments he set it down and turned it face down on the nightstand.

In order for me to get justice he thought i have to be something else, i cant be the protege of batman, i have to forget all of his teachings, i have to be the weapon forged through the flames thanks to the cult, and once i get this done i will come back to you, i promise you that dana

...

"W-who are you" said the man as he looked at the hooded man that stood infront of him "w-w-what do you want with me, do you even know who i am or what organization i am with"

The hooded figure tilted his head. He saw the man press a button and he heard sirens. Immediatly guards barged into the room from the halls outside. The hooded figure ducked a blow from one of the guards and came up. He grabbed his arm and twisted him around. He jumped into the air and kickd him in the face. He then in a fluid motion, landed and spun around, drawing his bow and quickly firing an arrow into another's chest killing him. didnt see the third guard who punched him in the face. The hooded man stumbled a bit and gained his footing. He saw the thid man coming at him, and blocked another right hook. He then began gut punching the man and kicked him back. The man took out a combat knife and lunged foreward. he swung at the hooded man who avoided the ows. he then grabbed the mans knife hand and pushed him into the wall and slowly pushed the knife into the man's throat, cutting his jugular vein, and drowing the man in his own pool of blood. He let go of the man as he fell to the ground dead. He turned around to look at his target.

"Et miserebitur eius, et ignosce propitius veniam" said the hooded figure

The hooded figure approached the man and pulled his sword. The man backed away and bumped against the windows of his office.

"honesta ab ipso recipit" he continued as he unsheathed his blade

"please i have a family" said the man "i-i can pay you, please spare my life i beg of you"

The hooded figure looked at the man.

"Et inferorum suppliciis cruciari igne" finished the hooded man as he stabbed the man in the chest.

"w-who are you" said the dying man

The man under the hood pondered for a moment he then let out a breath.

"Et este nomen meum Telum" said the hooded assailent as he pulled the blade out. The man looked at the hooded assassin as the light left his eyes and he fell back into the glass breaking it and falling to the ground 8 stories below.

Telum looked down and pulled down his hood revealing Noah, a single tear fell from his cheek. He looked at the elegant blade before he slid it into the sheath on his back.

I have killed for the first time. It wont be the last time until i find the one responcible for causing all the destruction and for causing me to die. I am sorry Dana, but if i do ever see you again, i wont be the same Noah that you remembered, that man is gone, and through the fires of hell came this person who you will never truly know. i dont know if you will ever get this dana, but i do hope that you respond to my letters. in me is darkness but you are the light that is keeping me from going over teh edge and losing myself.

Noah clsoed the envelope after sliding in the other letter. He slid it into the mail box and walked away. he got on his bike and revved the engine before driving off.

...

few days later

Batman was in the cave when Alfred came downstairs with an envelope.

"sir i found this letter" said alfred "it was addressed to here but says its for Miss Kyle"

Batman looked at the letter and took it. He opened it and read the letter.

...

(for thsoe that dont know telum was speaking in latin here is what he was saying 'Forgive and have mercy upon him... Excuse him and pardon him... Make honorable his reception... Protect him from the punishment of the grave... And the torment of fire' yes the quote was from arrow but i liked it alot so i used it for this)

(Et miserebitur eius , et ignosce propitius veniam ... ... ... honesta ab ipso recipit poenam et cruciatum inferni igne ...)
