Above me the sky morphs into brilliant shades of pink, yellow, and purple. The clouds melting into one another like like a bowl of Neapolitan ice cream on a hot summer day. It's a beautiful sunset. I look down into my hand where I hold a peony flower. I smile, sweet memories licking at my mind.
They were memories of my brother. My friends. All our goofy escapades. I stared at the flower a moment longer before setting it on my pistol, that was laid in the grass, for the time being.
I picked up my helmet from where it also had been lying in the grass, before sliding the opening over my head and turning it sharply to the right, locking it in place. I stared out at the sunset once more. The colors slightly altered darker by my visor. I then spoke.
"Argo, run Data log, record new audio file 119." A flash at the bottom left hand corner of my visor told me Argo was online. "And what should I title it? Agent Rhode?" I stiffened and bit my lip in reflex to that name. Hate sweltering through me. "Argo we've Discussed this. Do not call me that. It's Rex." "My apologies Rex. What would you wish me to title the log?"
I inhaled a shaky breath, shutting my viridescent eyes. My gloved hands moved down grabbing at the thick grass around me, I could hear the small snaps as the stems popped and pulled away from their roots.
A small smile pulled up on the Corner of my lip. "Entitle it, Feet First."
A tear drop noise sounded from my helmet. I opened my eyes to see glowing transparent blue words across my visor.
Audio File 119: Feet First Ready to record
"Argo, record." "Of course Rex. And might I wish you, a happy Birthday?" I smiled, looking back up at the sunset. Stars were now poking their heads through the pastel curtain. "Yeah. You can. Happy Birthday to you too Mortimer." I whispered out to the stars.
"Recording now Rex." My AI informed me.
"Hey everyone. It's um, it's me. Yeah. Hey, quit your crying. There's no crying today, it's my birthday after all. But, I just, I wanted to tell you all a story. In fact I wouldn't really call it a story I'd call it, more of an adventure." I paused, looking into the horizon as the scarlet red sun set.
"And you all know how I love adventures."
::Author Note::
Hi readers, sorry for the Vague Crypticness of this chapter. It'll be Explained at the end of the book. And if you look REEALLY hard at it, there are spoilers. This is basically the last chapter split in half, this being the first. The whole story is 'kinda' like her talking, and telling her story but not, because it's from her POV and not from a narrative.
Yeah either way, please enjoy! Feel free to check my Profile for more RVB too, I love them.
