Chapter eight.
A large amount of time had flown by and Franklin hadn't moved an inch he had completely withdrawn into himself after the incident at the Witchpyre outpost. Until he woke up screaming from a nightmare three weeks later looking around frantically thinking he was still at the research station only for his mother to come into the room seeing him have a full scale panic attack.
"Franklin, Franklin! Calm down dear it's okay its me Mom okay I need you to calm down". Said Wendy.
Just then Luke burst into the room when he heard Wendy shout making Franklin jump his hand went straight to the bedside lamp and brandishing it as a weapon the ever present look of insanity driven fear in Franklin's eye. "Luke step back slowly". Said Wendy as she pressed a button on a remote her eyes never leaving Franklin for a second.
Franklin's father did as instructed. And a panel behind Franklin opened Franklin heard the panel open and turned to see what was going on only to be greeted with the joy tear stained face of Sister Mary.
Franklin dropped the lamp and walked slowly as tears began to well in his eyes.
"Yes child it's me". Said Sister Mary quietly.
Franklin took a cautious step forward slowly towards her holding his hand out to place it on her cheek. And was met with the moist sensation of her tears and the warmth of her skin. Franklin was on his knees hugging Sister Mary's legs as he began to cry openly now.
"Yes child I'm real your not imagining this shhh hush now little one you are safe now ". Said Sister Mary gently as she embraced him back.
Franklin turned to see his mother his hand reaching out to her. Only to have her hand reach out in return feeling his mother's hand in his. He then looked to his father and none to gently swatted his robe clad chest earning an indignant "Oy!". From his father as Franklin wasn't as gentle with him as he was with sister mary or his mother.
"Yes Franklin this is real we are all here. Look have something to eat and we'll meet you at your father's place". Said Wendy.
Franklin ate and then walked slowly through the corridors being led to his father's home by his mother. As they walked in Franklin heard a loud bird call and saw what looked like a half mutant half woman creature. Franklin jumped back in fear trying to hid himself behind his arms and legs all bundled up in a corner.
"Franklin it's okay that's your half sister Hyacinth she's come here today to help you to heal your mind she won't hurt you". Said Wendy leading Franklin by the hand.
Franklin quiet as a mouse followed his mother being led to the table where Hyacinth was sitting. Franklin looking really uneasy just sat there still as a mountain but his eye was darting in every direction trying to make sure nothing was going to come at him with the intent of ending his life. Just then he felt fuzzy in his head. He looked to Hyacinth he was shaking.
Just then the fuzzy feeling stopped. And Hyacinth walked over to speak with Franklin's parents.
"It is... Hard to...(Squawk)... treat him... His.. Mental Trauma... was (Squawk!) caused by... Psychic attack... He... is resisting me somehow (Squawk!) doing... his best... to... not let... me into... his mind... too afraid of... being hurt again". Said Hyacinth.
"How bad". Asked Luke.
"Very bad... so bad... that... he's too afraid... to let me (Squawk) help him". Hyacinth replied.
"How long could this take to heal his mind". Asked Wendy.
"Weeks... months... years? Maybe not... able to heal... at all... damage is... extensive". Said Hyacinth feeling bad that she may not be able to help Franklin.
Wendy and Luke looked at each other. "If only Tigerlily were here". Said Luke.
"That would probably make it worse Luke. Knowing Tigerlily's sense of humour". Said Wendy.
"He... has been... through a lot. I think... it's to early... to try treatment (Squawk) and will need... more support than... just a psyker". Said Hyacinth.
"Thank you Hyacinth you may go". Said Wendy.
Hyacinth left and Franklin got up and without anyone looking he wandered off without anyone noticing. He was trudging the corridors silently when a message about his disappearance was played over the p.a system. Franklin just walked until he was found by liling.
While he barely remembered her in his fragile mental state he knew by instinct that he didn't want to go with her. "Come here you brain dead fool I don't have time for this!". Liling shouted.
Franklin kept backing away from her only to back into Augusta who tried to nab him from behind only to have franklin duck and dive past him.
"Brother please don't do this!". Augusta begged.
Franklin turned to look at Augusta only to turn the other way sprinting down the corridor at full speed dodging women, cultists and night lords sent to capture him eluding capture completely.
(On Command bridge)
"Mistress we've found him. He's in the sub levels shall I send a team to retrieve him". Said a bridge slut.
"Yes and lock down the sector he's in but send the capture team with non lethal ordinance I don't want him harmed". Said Wendy.
"Yes mistress as you command". Said the bridge slut as she locked off the empty uninhabited sector Franklin was in.
A team of night lords went to retrieve him lead by Augusta were sent in to bring Franklin back they searched the corridors looking for his brother who was most probably hungry and afraid.
"Shouldn't we just you know put him out of his misery". Said a night lord as they marched through the cordoned off sector.
"Shouldn't I just put a bolt in your head for suggesting such a thing!". Augusta snarled.
"Hey don't get pissy with me. The kid's suffering terribly he doesn't even know what day or year it is, where he is or even how to talk anymore Augusta you tell me what kind of life is that a miserable one that's what I'm not saying it because I want the kid dead or anything I just see it as a merciful alternative he's damaged beyond repair Augusta his mind can't be fixed it's a waste of time believing otherwise". Said the night lord snapped.
Augusta cursed. "Look the girls think they can help him And I for one want to give them the chance. So no mercy killings or killings of any kind got it!". Augusta shouted.
They caught up with Franklin only to have him bolt at the sight of them. They chased the boy of fourteen throughout the entire level. Franklin using his small size and agile frame to easily avoid capture this continued for twelve hours and Franklin was finally caught when he was shot with a stun round from one of the Night lord's weapons only for Franklin to try and get up but was shot again in the back of the head by the frustrated night lord.
"ENOUGH HE'S DOWN!". Snarled Augusta as he struck the night lord with a tightly clenched fist breaking his face.
"Pick him up gently you idiots Mistress Wendy will have our balls on a stick if he's injured anymore than he is and you all had better pray he's not hurt because if he is there will be hell to pay!". Snarled Augusta before turning to the Night lord who shot Franklin.
"Your lucky I can't kill you without suffering the Matriarch's wrath but do something like that again and I may just lose control of my trigger finger". Said Augusta as the squad left with the restrained, contained and unconscious Franklin.
They returned with Franklin who was taken to his mother's quarters and put to bed. Sister Mary fretting over Franklin once franklin was asleep sister Mary came out and confronted Wendy.
"How could you lose him like that and for twelve hours and why is he unconscious and covered in such terrible black welts what the hell did your monsters do to him!". The overprotective nun shouted at Wendy as she tended to the unconscious Franklin's injuries fussing over him like a mother would a child.
"I didn't know he was going to run off. I'm as shaken by today as you are he is my son after all and the Night lord responsible is being properly and appropriately punished as we speak!". Wendy shouted back.
"From now on I will be escorting Franklin until he gets better to make sure such things like this do not happen again". Said Sister Mary as she turned to return to Franklin's side.
"Hey I am his mother not you and watch yourself when you speak to me slave!". Wendy growled aggressively.
"I may as well have been his mother I brought him up, I raised him, fed him, changed him, bathed him, took care of him, and healed his wounds when he was injured from fighting the orks. I regret not being able to just take him away from that awful place and letting him fight in that awful awful war and not being able to give him the life and love he deserved he is such a sweet boy. If only you had given him a proper chance you would have seen that!". Sister Mary spat hatefully.
Wendy hissed at Sister Mary only for sister mary to hackle up herself Under hive ganger style.
"You wanna have a go fine come on bitch I'll fight you any time anywhere! You don't deserve to be his mother you were no parent to him at all and if you think I'm about to let you mistreat him you had better have good life insurance! You did this to him you and your family not me not the imperium you bitch YOU! DID! THIS!". Sister mary snarled letting her past self show.
Wendy just looked at her she was angry at the nun's disrespect but she knew that Sister mary was completely right and that her words held the stench of truth in them. They had done Franklin wrong for putting him through those horrible tests, for not protecting him and not getting to him sooner when he was abducted a second time and for letting him be taken from them by the inquisition in the first place. The truth had never been so painful. And now they may have lost Franklin forever.
Sister Mary was about to give another venomous insult to Wendy for being a shit mother and stove her head in when a bright light shone in the room and the two were forced apart.
Franklin's hand was aimed in the direction of Wendy and sister Mary blinding them both preventing them from arguing.
When the light died down both looked at each other hatefully but agreed silently not to argue so as to not aggravate the unconscious Franklin or his condition. Franklin himself was bathed in a dim but warm light wendy had to cover her eyes but it wasn't painful to touch something was happening to Franklin something that wasn't their doing, or the great and powerful Slaanesh's.
(two weeks later)
Hyacinth and violet came to see Franklin again for their daily appointment to attempt to heal his Fractured mind. Just as they entered his hospital room they heard someone psychically call out for help. The voice was a tiny one, it sounded alone and afraid.
"Please someone, anyone please help me I'm lost and don't know where I am". Came the voice in the minds of Violet and Hyacinth.
The girls looked around only to see Franklin was the only one there and that there was a dim golden wreathe of light around his head it was uncomfortable for the girls to look at but it wasn't painful.
"FRANKLIN!?"
"FRANKLIN!?".
Both girls said in shock.
They walked over to Franklin's hospital bed and sat down.
"We will now enter his mind and repair what has been done ready the wards Sister". Violet instructed.
Hyacinth prepped the psychic wards and began the ritual to enter Franklin's shattered broken psyche.
(In Franklin's shattered Psyche)
Franklin sat there in the darkness cold and alone. When the man responsible for his condition appeared before him.
"Akan the hell are you doing here this is my mind go get your own". Franklin's voice had such hatred in it for the man it caused a massive storm in hid mindscape.
"Ah so this is where you have been my wonderful little bio-weapon. I was looking for you I'm surprised and impressed that your consciousness survived that little ordeal especially when I attempted to mind wipe and reprogram you". Smiled Akan.
"I am nothing of yours snake! I'm not your friend, your test subject nor your bio-weapon and you are not welcome here!". Shouted Franklin.
"And yet I can come and go as I please trust me child you cannot fight me and hope to win I am a powerful psyker you are just a boy a genetic enhanced bio-weapon which reminded me I must thank your family Franklin the gene seed they gave you allowed me to change you in such imaginable ways it's such a shame I need to terminate this failed experiment". Said Akan darkly.
"You are welcome to try freak!". Roared Franklin as he charged right for Akan.
Akan laughed at him and charged as well. The two met in combat sending psychic shock waves that shook Franklin's mind scape violently.
(With Violet and Hyacinth's psychic avatars)
the two wondered Franklin's broken mind seeing fractured pieces of memories of Franklin's violent and bloody life. They saw pieces of the horrifying times Franklin survived through the Argusion war. And the terrible violence the greenskins visited on his people and planet. And at times himself as well.
"Damn it's no wonder Franklin's so fucked up... we've been working on his mind for two weeks non stop and we've made so little difference it's an utter shock that Franklin isn't brain dead". Said Violet.
"We... must... help him... I sense all... the psychic pain... he is in (Squawk!) throughout his... life... it just hurts... to be... here... and not in a... fun way". Said Hyacinth.
Just then a massive psychic shock wave blasted passed the two slaaneshi psykers and a massive roar filled with insanity driven hatred and a thirst for death and suffering was felt all around them as well as a sudden blinding flash of light. When the light died down they ran to the epicentre and there was franklin being held in mid air by the throat by a completely albino man.
"There he is". Said Violet.
Both look to see Franklin struggling as hard as he could even taking to kicking the man in the face.
"We have to help, that freak is going to kill him at this rate!". Said violet jumping into action.
"(Squawk!) Right... lets... get'em". Said Hyacinth.
Both girls attack with a psychic blast of their own only for Akan to just shrug it off. He dropped Franklin like a dead body onto the ground and looked to the girls.
"Oh look who's come to play with us Franklin. It's your heretic scum relatives I wonder how they sound when they scream for their lives". Chuckled Akan.
"YOU IDIOTS GET AWAY FROM HERE NOW HE'LL KILL YOU WITHOUT A SECOND THOUGHT!". Franklin yelled.
"We can't just leave you here with him he'll kill you!". Said Violet.
"They wouldn't have made it out alive anyway now sit there and watch as these two burn to ashes". Laughed Akan getting ready to loose a gout of warp flame on the two slaaneshi psykers.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!". Franklin charged at Akan literally bulldozing him over.
Akan struck Franklin with the Warp flame meant for the girls but this didn't persuade the boy. It only made him more violent towards Akan as he began to punch Akan in the face faster and faster doing everything he could to beat this monster into nothing more than mashed up meat and raw bone.
Franklin was thrown from Akan hard.
"I was going to save you for last boy but now I'm going to kill you and I'm going to do it slowly painfully and in every way I know you fear". Snarled Akan.
Franklin looked at him and spat at Akan's feet only to have the man hold him in mid air with his psychic powers to grab Franklin by the throat again.
"You just don't quit do you boy". Said Akan.
"Don't know the meaning of the word pal". Said Franklin before turning to Violet and Hyacinth.
"You two cover your eyes now or you will go blind!". Said Franklin.
"But we can help you". Said Violet.
"Just do as I say RIGHT NOW!". Franklin shouted his voice now warped and distorted by another one overlapping his.
The girls shook with fear from the voice but did what Franklin said.
"Now as for you BURN IN RIGHTOUS FLAMES TRAITOR KILLER OF WOMEN AND CHILDREN!". Franklin Bellowed as he began to glow in a bright golden light.
Akan began to burn and scream in pain.
"Where did this power come from?! No it can't be... THIS ISN'T OVER BOOOOOOOOOOY!". Akan cried as he was violently forced out of Franklin's mind by the emperor's might.
Franklin fell to his knees tired badly burnt and thoroughly spent. Panting in and exhaustion he looked up as the two girls ran to his side.
"Fools I told you to leave, you trying to get yourselves killed". Franklin growled softly.
"We came to save your ass and this is the thanks we get!". Huffed Violet.
"Well excuse me for caring about your fucking safety as you were literally walking into the kill box of a full blown war zone!". Shouted Franklin.
"Well if it haven't been for me!". Violet Started.
"(squawk!) Us...". Hyacinth somewhat crossly corrected.
"If it hadn't been for Us you would be dead right now it's not my fault your ability to control your psychic defences is so weak!". Violet Snarled back.
"Don't test me woman!". Franklin growled.
Hyacinth just grumbled at the two and their antics before grabbing them both and returned all of them to the real world.
(Outside Franklin's mind)
Violet woke up and stood up where as Franklin woke up gasping and in a great amount of pain.
"Aaaaargh I am so sick and tired of getting my ass kicked". Franklin groaned pitifully.
He got out of the bed only to collapse.
"So weak... damn how long have I been out". Asked franklin his voice soft and weak.
"You've been out of it for little over two weeks. You were injured when a security detail was sent to retrieve you after you wondered off. We planned on hospitalising you for your own safety not all your relatives are nice like us I'm Violet we've spoken before". Said Violet introducing herself.
"Thank you for helping". Said Franklin.
"Saving!". Violet interrupted
"For Helping! me Violet I will admit I wouldn't have won without your help". Said Franklin somewhat humbly.
"In all my life that was the only time I have ever needed help. Now with that done I want to go home". Said Franklin as he began to crawl towards the door. Before he was lifted up by Violet psychic power and put him in a wheel chair.
"Thank you now I must go home". Said Franklin as he wheeled himself off.
"Maybe there's hope for him yet... and he is kinda cute". Said Violet absentmindedly.
"Oh... Brother... (Squawk!)". Said Hyacinth rolling her eyes.
Franklin wheeled himself through the corridors surprising people half his face was covered in a massive burn mark. Franklin ignored them looking at him and just continued forward only to run into his brother Augusta.
"Franklin what are you doing out of bed". He asked.
"Going home brother going home and getting something to eat I've been out for two weeks and I'm starving". Said Franklin tiredly.
"Liling isn't going to be happy when she finds out you've left without proper authorisation Franklin let's go back you can go home tomorrow". Augusta suggested.
"I don't give a Grox's knuckle how your wife feels about me leaving I am going home Augusta and I'm going home right now". Growled Franklin as he wheeled himself off. "Besides the hospital food was lousy". Said Franklin.
Franklin continued down the corridor only to stop at the end to look around.
"Where the fuck am I you'd think those dark loving pansies would at the very least put up directional signs to tell people where they are". Franklin grumbled to himself.
Augusta was contacted by Violet and was told to not only to let franklin go home but to guide him home. So Augusta did just that.
"Franklin let me guide you home it will be much easier and faster that way". Said Augusta.
Franklin begrudgingly accepted the help from his brother. Not knowing what to do as he had never felt this weak and helpless before he knew that it was the logical thing to do but that didn't lessen the sickening feeling in his guts.
They arrive at Wendy's home and Franklin turned to Augusta.
"Thank you Augusta I can take it from here". Said Franklin.
"Brother...".
"It's Okay!... It's okay Augusta I can go on by myself from here". Said Franklin as he begins to wheel himself inside.
"Brother it isn't a sign of weakness to ask for help from others". Said Augusta.
"I know". Said Franklin as he went inside.
"Mom! I'm home are you here?". Franklin called out.
"Wendy walked out and the moment she saw Franklin she bullrushed him into a crushing hug of doom.
"Franklin!". She Cried.
"Aaaaargh! My ribs!". Franklin cried in dismay and pain.
"Be careful with me woman I'm fresh out of hospital!". Franklin cried in pain.
Wendy released Franklin immediately and heard the loudest stomach growling noise she had ever heard in her life.
Wendy ordered her slaves to prepare food for Franklin who tore into it the moment it was put on the table. Franklin had Meat, vegetables, ceramic chemical bone paste and everything else in between. Franklin wolfed it down like a starving man who was given an all you can eat buffet.
An old oriental woman hobbled out to take the empty plate away from Franklin and place a new one before him.
"Was it to your liking Lord Franklin". Asked the old slave.
"Yes thank and please don't call me lord, Franklin will just do. And what is your name". Asked Franklin.
"It is Fetter child". Said Fetter smiling kindly.
"You were named after a delicious Cheese?... Well I guess I can't judge my name seems similar to Frankfurter a little more similar than I would like it to be". Said Franklin trying hard not to be rude.
With this statement Fetter had a good chuckle.
"What... what I say!". Asked Franklin now thoroughly confused.
"My name is Fetter not feta ho ho ho ho I haven't had a laugh like that in a while no child my name is fetter a fetter is a particular type of Manacle used in bondage play. I am the head slave that serves your mother and I run the household so she has more time to do things more important like her duties and such". Said Fetter.
"Is everyone on this ship named similarly to you". Asked Franklin.
"Not all child some have ordinary names like your mother others have different names like myself. Why do you ask". Fetter inquired.
"I don't feel like I belong here. That I'm too different I mean my mother had be thrown in a mental ward because I wasn't into pain and torture. I don't have a good feeling on how me being here is going to turn out". Said Franklin.
"Now child your mother while she was mistaken in her actions and she has admitted it was only doing what she thought was best for your mental and emotional health she thought she was doing the right thing and thought it would help you. Please try to keep that in mind". Said Fetter with grandmotherly/sagely wisdom.
"Okay I will may I have some more water please". Asked Franklin
Fetter poured him a glass of water and took his empty plate out to the kitchen. Just then one of the slaves brought Franklin's nuns in to see him. Sister mary pulled a wendy and bull rushed franklin checking him over making sure he was okay.
"I am okay Sister mary. I just recently came home I'm sorry about Henry and dildee I'm sorry I failed to save them and bring them home". Said Franklin in shame.
"You did your best Franklin it was all anyone could have asked of you and you gave your friends the ultimate mercy saving them from living a life of being some mutated bio-weapon with no self will. They stand at the side of the emperor now in paradise eternal". Sister Mary reassured.
"now it's late so off to bed with you young man you need your rest to regain your strength". Said Sister Mary gently caressing Franklin's cheek.
"Yes sister Mary. I and turning in Mom good night". Said Franklin as he hugged his mother and wheeled himself to bed.
As time went by days turned to weeks and Franklin became bigger and stronger due to the gene seed within him. At this point he was larger than a full grown man at seven feet tall and heavily built due to all the exercise and training he put himself through to get his body back to full strength.
He was a mountain of muscles and for some reason refused to wear a shirt. When his mother asked about it Sister Mary reluctantly answered and said that Franklin idolises the Catachan jungle fighters seeing them as the strongest members of the imperial guard ever period. Being twice the size, five times stronger and ten times more agile and cunning then a normal member of the guard. He saw and respected their strength and skill as in Franklin's eyes as the only human stronger than a catachan jungle fighter was a space marine.
Franklin was walking with Augusta down to the impound office where his personal effects that he had during his time at Witch's pyre outpost were being stored along with a lot of things they had taken from Argus during their Raid/rescue mission to recover Franklin the woman running the counter retrieved his things and also put a large case on the counter with his name on it.
Augusta saw the shock on Franklin's face at the mere sight of that case.
"Brother is something wrong". He asked.
"Where did you find that case". Asked franklin shakily.
"In a cavern on a rack designed to hold other cases just like this one but the rack was empty other than for this case with your name on it". Said Augusta.
Old memories began to surface again the sounds of people dying violently began to ring inside his head till Franklin fell to his knees and clutched his head with both hands and forced the sounds back down again to a place far far away in his mind where he couldn't here it.
"BROTHER! Someone help! Get some medical personal in here now!". Roared Augusta.
"Belay that order! I'm fine now". Said Franklin as he got up on his feet again.
"Franklin please we should go to the apothocary station to get that checked out". Said Augusta.
"No thank you I've spent enough time in your wife's company more than enough for an entire life time". Franklin mumbled the last part of that sentence quietly to himself.
"But I really wished you had left that case where you had found it". Said Franklin grabbing the case.
"What is in there that spooks you so much brother". Asked Augusta.
"Trust me Gus when I say this it is better to leave certain things dead, buried and forgotten never to see the light of day ever again. Now grab my plasma pistol I need you to take it to the shooting range and get them to store it there for me. I doubt Mom would approve me bringing a dangerous and very deadly energy weapon home with me". Said Franklin.
"And the case?". Asked Augusta.
Franklin looked at the case. Fear and anger welled in his eyes as he looked at it.
"It comes with me I can't trust it and its contents to anyone it's my problem and my problem alone I'll take care of it". Said Franklin in finality.
Augusta watched as Franklin dragged the case off with him not liking the situation. But decided to let sleeping dogs lie.
(With Wendy&luke later that afternoon)
"So how is he". Asked wendy.
"I don't know Mummy". Said Violet.
"What do you mean you don't know Violet your one of the most talented psyker on board on board this ship how can you not know I mean just read his mind and be done with it". Said Wendy.
"That's the thing I can't do so without him knowing. The false emperor protects his mind diligently. And I've seen the thoughts of him doing things to me as punishment for invading his mind without his permission and I like my intestines the way they are thank you in my body and not knitted into a sweater!". Said Violet.
The three looked at each other quietly. For a moment before violet began talking again.
"And besides its impossible to even penetrate his mind. It is so tightly and jealously guarded that I doubt anyone but my mother tigerlily could steal her way into his mind. Something has him frightened completely spooked out of his mind. And he refuses to let anyone in it's a problem we cannot deal with here on board we need a more powerful psyker one way more powerful than I am to help Franklin". Said Violet.
"So I take it would be better to try and get in touch with your mother I take it". Said Luke.
"Yes daddy it may be the only way but it seems that the problem while terrible isn't getting worse at the moment we should all keep a discreet eye on Franklin because there is a chance that he could have a mental breakdown and become a danger to himself and others". Said Violet.
"On another note I'm surprised that the little nun actually was ready to fight you wendy dear. If she cares for Franklin so the little bitch can't be all that bad but she seems to be the only one of the nuns that shows a deep caring for him like that. Maybe we should think about getting him some proper slaves trained in the proper ways to care of Franklin like he should/ Maybe for his birthday I mean he does turn fifteen soon maybe it's time for him to become a man". Luke proposed.
"Yes maybe your right". Said Wendy a little bit sad.
Her little boy had already grown up. But she wasn't there to enjoy watching him grow it was then and there that Sister Mary's hateful words from before seared themselves into her heart she couldn't lose him again not again she prayed to the almighty and terrible slaanesh to send her a sign to tell her what to do in this situation to give her guidance but this one time she was met with no answer.
(In Franklin's brain)
"God emperor I hate coming to this place. Everything in here is broken and useless so why do I keep coming back here". Franklin asked himself.
"Maybe because you can't let go of your guilt". Came a feminine voice.
"who's there". Franklin asked turning to see a woman in golden adeptus Sororitas power armour.
"I am child my name is Celestine". Said Celestine gently.
"Celestine? As in the one and only Saint Celestine daughter of the emperor of mankind the slayer of the war master of Foraxx that Saint Celestine damn didn't think I was that important. But usually the emperor is the one who does these things not that I'm not unhappy your hear saintly one it's just different to the norm is all". Said Franklin.
"The mighty lord of mankind has tasked me with this message to you from him while he's on vacation". Said Saint Celestine.
"Wait he can take vacations? o_0". Said Franklin shocked.
(With the psychic emperor on a psychic sunny beach)
The emperor turned to the readers and lifted his sunglasses.
"What?". He said innocently before taking a loud slurp of his soda.
(Back with Franklin)
"Yes but he seldom does but getting back on track many enemies each one more sinister than the last have learned of your frailty young Franklin you must fix your mind or you and those you love will suffer for it the forces of chaos draw close and surround you child from all sides and they do so with malicious intent". Said Saint Celestine.
"I will be vigilant my lady you have my word on this I will not let our emperor down I saw this on the golden throne". Said Franklin kneeling to her.
"May god emperor grant you strength brave warrior you will need it for the trials to come but before you can do that, you must let go of your guilt child what happened wasn't your fault but the faults of evil men to gain the strength you need you must learn to let go", Said Celestine before disappearing in a flash of golden light.
"More than you know my lady more than you'll ever know". Said Franklin sadly not knowing what will happen if he can stay true to the god emperor or be violently claimed by his ever present and worsening insanity.
