Yes people, this is his past so just shut up and read :D
Chapter 4: The Flashback
I was stuck
"Leave me alone!"
I was on the third floor of the orphanage running for my life. I bounded up a set of stairs just to be greeted by another of the monstrosities that called themselves "Armada marines" the familiar feeling of energy coursed through me as the marine steadily grew closer. My hands rose as I muttered involuntarily.
"Valeo!"
Anchor: "We bring you breaking news from the center of New York! Angelia?"
Reporter: "earlier this morning D.C. received a call from an unknown source, asking for the custody of Blaze Silver, a child under the protection of U.S. government. D.C. refused and demanded the identity of the caller. The caller hung up and has not been heard from since, but directly after the call an unknown enemy began bombing the Capitol, decimating the white house and the area around it. Luckily the president and staff got to the bomb shelter before….."
A tear slid down my face as I watched the monitor across my cell, it was all my fault. I slammed the bars in pure frustration. Now they had me in the brig of their ship, trapped, useless and afraid.
I slept fitfully that night, listening to the whir and buzz from my captor's gears and dreaming of what my life could've been.
"Pssst"
I woke suddenly
"Wha..?" I looked around confused
"Over here kid!"
He was dressed in bright red from head to toe and to top is off he wore a pointy hat. I chuckled.
"Halloween was two months ago dude, get with the times"
He rolled his eyes as he fiddled with the lock
"Don't even try" I said "I've been working on that lock for days"
He gave me a pitying look as he traced a flame symbol in the air with his hands, the symbol popped and crackled like a bonfire before disappearing.
"Fancy trick" I offered, completely disinterested.
"Try using your eyes" he snapped.
I looked down at the lock right before it melted into a pool of molten metal
He opened the cell door and gave an exaggerated bow
"Connor Summerdust, Journeyman Pyromancer at your service"
He gestured towards the staircase at the end of the hall, I sneered
"Ladies first."
He narrowed his eyes and walked up the wooden steps.
