PART THREE Who they are?
when tyranny is law, revolution is order this is how Nick learned every day in his life, his mother gave birth to 3 children he was the last to be born and that's why his clan didn't see him as he wanted him to be nor his father a benevolent general to his brothers and sisters its land that has always defended the policy of shedding blood for its country.
his other brothers Viktor and Harlan, twins, were taught about their father's guardianship, Nick was already thrown aside having to learn alone to survive in this pathetic life until his mother didn't see him as her son but a mistake so much that when he found out who would have twins was never so happy.
but the diagnosis was the opposite, there was one more baby that, as incredible as it seems, didn't have the DNA to be triplets the doctor said it was a blessing that they had one more between the twins and he thought such an event was incredible but because of a ridiculous belief they believed they were cursed that child was a warning of a possible curse to the family or even the clan and when Nick discovered this he reneged on imbecilic beliefs, pathetic religious figures, or even his father's tyranny.
one day he came out of the den or rather the cage he was kept in he ran to a bright garden there was a huge tree there which became his favorite place then he saw one of the servants going to the garden he watched her making movements with her fingers and sparks fly like as if was absorbing life from the poor garden, he didn't even realize he was noticed because he was mesmerized by the sparks
- You emanate hatred and a certain rancor for them, don't you?
Nick was really paralyzed but he wasn't afraid of her but he felt he had known her for millennia.
- Are you just a curse for them? pathetic humans like them are the first to die in wars or maybe genocides for blind beliefs to a false god
Nick then looked at her and saw that her eyes were bright green but in the daylight they were much brighter she was a pleasant presence to him
- you know you shouldn't be stuck with them, you are much more than a child maybe you still don't know your limits... now don't let your emotions hurt who you love one day you will have enough reasons to hate humans but you will having someone next to you and if you feel something inexplicable that not even words can express...you will fight for that person even if they have to die together, now...
she took off the amulet she was wearing and took it in his hand and squeezed
- When you know what you're capable of, you'll know you have no limits to control so keep it up and never let anyone take it unless it's that person you'll fight alongside on your trail.
Nick then blinked his eyes and she disappeared he looked at the now lifeless garden and also saw the necklace in his hand and then he returned to his pathetic life but now he knew what to do.
When he turned 18 he became a military man whose name was not underestimated even by the most foolish, Nick discovered one of the ways in which his power manifests itself not through anger but the calmer he was the more the will to kill really increased that vision that he had no kidding his powers had no brakes, but every day he would wake up before his companions and destroy trees to assuage the urge to crush a skull
before that time in the army he saw tyrants similar to his father die so early for doubting the opponent too much, that made him laugh out loud and he never cared because they thought he was cold, selfish, and didn't have any kind of pity but he attracted the interest of a strategist who fought in Vietnam and was known for the gift of the great one-man ambush. William Overback aka Colonel Bill, Nick honestly didn't care that the guy alone killed an entire battalion or that someone was intimidated just by the other idiots on his team getting silly every time they heard this damn story, but being the only one called up for this mission... it really intrigued him.
on his way to the main hall where the badass gentleman was he felt the envy looks of his companions, he had to smoke a cigarette to not laugh at such idiocy that he was feeling coming from that corridor when he entered, he saw him already on the operating table looking at a map from Russia and some places that were thinking of ''helping''
Bill looked at Nick and motioned for him to sit down, Nick sat in one of the chairs to hear what he had to say
- I confess that when I saw you the first time, I thought you were older but when you saw the reports you entered with 15 years? wow brave... and he fought in two wars one in Australia and one in England and in both he conquered half of the lands. I would say you are a prodigy I rarely meet people like you.
Nick took the cigarette and crushed it using the steel of his ring
- I would say that the word prodigy in this case would not be important for such an occasion you chose me so what´s the big deal? I don't have any code kill what is ahead or if you want a genocide? but as a great strategist that you are, I know that nothing I said here matters.
Bill then showed on the map one of the regions the United States was really interested in Mikhailov Peninsula
- Well let's go to the tip of an iceberg Mikhailov is one of the places where we want his weapons reserve where possibly there is something there that could be a nuclear warhead capable of turning everything to ash in seconds, but I would say Russia doesn't want us Americans in your area so i called you i heard you infiltrated Australia easily by Tasmanian sea.
Nick thought he was being stupid putting him in front of Russia where that peninsula could be much longer but analyzing better he could only go to the Norwegian border.
- It's not impossible but I think a helicopter is enough...but I think for the mission you won't need just me and the helicopter, right?
Bill obviously would never send just one person to finish a mission like that but he knew that in war there must always be a good strategy, you never play chess without the right pieces
- No, I always think about the odds before putting the pieces together on the board Nick. I obviously have someone who will provide you with information and who will help you in combat, luckily this soldier has dual nationality and has been in Russia for 5 years, from what I was told he was American but went to war in Russia.
Nick might have had combat experience when it came to killing he did it in a quick way now this Russian agent having dual nationality didn't seem convincing but fuck it
- not bad so just get the weapons and come back here with them intact.
- Exactly Nick. But besides that I think if you do well in this mission you will have others in Russia only in different parts... would you mind?
- not a little now let's suppose Bill if this warhead is transported in a war helicopter wouldn't it be risky?
Bill lit his cigar and sighed
- This is a but the Russian said he would be in charge of carrying the warhead separately inside an armored truck.
damn it seems Russian thinks more than him... thought Nick
- I'll have to call him today the mission will be tonight you will get the helicopter as soon as he confirms. Dispensed
Nick got up in silence and left to prepare the luggage entering one of the cabins.
- Impressive will already have the honor of being on a mission with the legendary Bill
Nick turned around and saw one of the general's darlings, Lenny, his nephew who Nick never understood as the man was still alive and reeked of drugs and disgust.
Nick gave a light laugh.
- Yeah, the great Bill manages to have convincing strategies, he just doesn't know how to organize them...he should retire.
Lenny was crazy about an offense that wasn't even for him
- How dare you treat him as just a strategist! he's a hero you really don't see the value that people have do you?
Nick had never wanted to shut that junkie up with just one bullet from his pistol that was strapped right to his waist.
- Look if here would be a discussion about who is more useful, I would say that Bill gives you a beating but in terms of knowing things both are dumb.
Nick headed outside with his bag of weapons towards the helicopter, not even seeing Lenny cursing him with all the existing names in the bible.
when he got there, he saw 2 people next to Bill talking and he couldn't help but wonder who they are?
