Raphael

It wasn't supposed to be this way. I was supposed to go first. I should have gone first. I was reckless, impulsive. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

I was the last of my kind. My father had died years ago, my younger brothers not so long ago and now my big brother.

I was alone.

I had complained about never having time to myself my whole life, but now? Now I didn't want to be alone. It was too quiet, I don't like the quiet.

I could not live like this, I would not live like this. I would make my final stand. I would see my family again.

That is how it was supposed to be. I was meant to go down saving my brothers, my father, my friends or an innocent. It didn't matter to me. I would go doing what I did best.
