Well you guys are in for a treat. Here is the newest, and in my opinion the best yet, chapter of the aspiring author. EMERALD FIRE9!
Vesanus POV
I open my eyes and I see a total and utter Darkness. A black even more impenetrable then Tartarus. The thought reminds me of my true love making me want to smile but it's been so long that I've forgotten.
/ What exactly is a smile? Why do you want to make one? / The Darkness let me think these thoughts and many more in a voice unlike my deep menacing voice. The questions in my head were given voice by the voice of a young child that somehow held a wisdom beyond the stars. I know that I've never heard the voice before but it sounds familiar. Suddenly it asks me a question I thought I knew the answer to but I can't answer.
/ Who are you? Why do you live? / They were the 2 questions he had asked himself over and over when he walked the streets of Paris, searching for monsters, and the same answers popped into my head every time. / I am Vesanus. I live for death. / I tried to answer the voice but even before it left my mouth I knew that it wasn't true. In that Darkness that I thought was comforting become sinister. It didn't change in appearance but I started to think to myself.
/ Why can't I see? / What's wrong with me? / How can I be with my love if I can't see? / The last thought scared me more than anything. I start to try and move but it feels like I'm tied to a tree.
/ How do you know what a tree is? / The voice came back louder than ever making me groan in pain. Suddenly there's a rustle right in front of me, so soft I almost missed it. I bring my head up and stare at the spot where I heard the rustle and I hear a gasp of surprise and even more rustling all around me.
/ You're surrounded Vesanus. / What will you do? / The voice was screaming in my head making me groan even louder causing concerned murmurings from my captors.
/ HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT CONCERNED MEANS VESANUS? / The voice screamed in my mind louder than all of the other times. I finally yell out from the pain.
"I DON'T KNOW!" This startles my captors and sends them running as my booming voice shakes the very ground itself.
Assassin's POV
I drop down from the tree our prospective leader was bound. He was able to touch the master's cloak, a feat unheard of. As I fall my thoughts turn to how we found him.
A rapid knocking on the ceiling made us all look up and see a sight that shocked all of my brothers gathered for the newest mission. Above us was the golden apple of Chaos himself. It slowly opened like a door and a young man is lowered down from inside of the apple as an almost blinding light follows him and our master's voice honors us with words.
"My faithful sons, this man will end the long conflict with Artemis and her hunters. But be warned at the end of this your beliefs and even the world will change." Our Savior lands on the table directly below the ceiling and it groans with his weight. He is clothed in blueprints for new weapons and armors. We stripped him down and we saw 2 solid gold apples hanging where his jewels should be making every man wince in pain, remembering how painful it was to them. We got him the biggest clothes we could find but the oldest of us was only 15 and they would never fit him but when we tried they stretched over him and fit him perfectly. He looked like he was made to wear the hood and cloak of the brotherhood. We took him outside to try and get him to wake up but as soon as we did he started to struggle wildly and, even unconscious, was able to knock out both of the people holding him. The savior falls against a tree with his back next to it and suddenly stops struggling. We take the chance to tie him to the giant Red Wood tree. We take our injure comrades to the top of the tree so we can use our healing arts to their full capacity. They wake up groggily after a few hours and they tell us that they had both seen a vision of him fighting our master and of him being able to touch his cloak. We are in awe of this achievement but all we can do is wait in anticipation so we wait we did until we hear a soft groan coming from our savior so we all jumped down, trusting our gifts to make us land safely.
There's a soft rustling as I land first. The sound is so quiet that I wasn't even sure that I made one until the Savior's head snaps upward and stares at me and even though I know that he can't see through the blindfold it feels like he's scrutinizing my very soul. I shiver in excitement and fear as my brothers drop down around me, one by one, forming a half circle around the Savior. We stare at him and his head moves slowly, pausing on each individual brother, making them visibly shake in fright. When he's done his gaze focuses on me again and he groans. The brothers start to mummer, concerned not about his well being or even theirs but worried about how he will destroy the hunters. He starts to visibly try and curl up and I think to myself.
/ Chaos didn't say that he would kill anyone. / I thought to myself when our savior, as if in answer to their questions, Screams out three words so deafeningly that the earth itself quakes violently.
"I DON'T KNOW!" we all stumbled away, partially deaf. We fall to the ground and we all think one thought.
/ THAT WAS FUCKING AWESOME! /
