"But, that's only the first part of my story." Penn said, pouring his little brother a glass of champagne from their parents abandoned cellar. Finn gingerly took a sip and swallowed it, a burning sensation pouring down his throat and causing him to cough.
Penn downed his and laughed, "What, not much of a drinker?" Finn shook his head no.
"It's OK. Let me tell you how I joined R.U.O.N..."
The young Penn awoke, surrounded by blue figures with glowing red eyes. These were R.U.O.N. field medics, but to the young Penn in his hazy vision, they looked like blue skinned demons, eyes ablaze.
Penn began shaking, frozen with fear. Although he didn't know it, the medics had drugged him and were surgically removing the bullet from his chest, but from his perspective, it looked as though those blue skinned monsters cast a paralysation spell on him and were preparing him as an appetizer.
He closed his eyes, silently crying. Then he heard the demons say something, but it sounded distorted.
"Holy crap! The kid is awake!" said the one to his right.
"It's to late to give him more anaesthetic, I've almost got the bullet!" said one standing to his right side, then he noticed that the demon was putting something into his chest.
"Got it!" said the demon triumphantly as he pulled out a small, bloody object with tweezers.
"Quick, put the poor kid back to sleep!"
With that, a demon placed a strange object over his face, and he suddenly felt himself drift into sleep...
"What happened next?" asked Finn, him and his brother now relaxing in the den. Penn leaned further back into the chair he was sitting in, "Well, next thing I knew, the medics were telling me about how they found me washed up on the beach, close to death. They hadn't found you or mom. Then I told them about the orcs, how they were dressed in purple uniforms and red masks."
Penn swallowed, anger flaring in his blue eyes, "Those orcs... do you no why they attacked us?"
"No..."
"The Orc King... he wanted to... eat us... humans were considered a delicacy... "
Finn looked at his brother who turned his head and stood, "That's why I joined R.U.O.N. Not only did they save me, they helped me showed me the evils of tyranny!"
"So Finn, do you want to join us?"
Finn stared intensely at his brother. "I'm sorry, Penn, this a lot to take in."
Finn stood, "I'll have to think about it."
Penn smiled at his little brother, "It's OK. Just go home and think it over."
