1.lockdown
Twas a calm but but cool overcast day as I looked out the window of a barred cell in the city questions formed as I ponded my past life as a creak of a door opened and a blubbering young woman was crying and whimpering as a pair of guards pulled her and fought her and eventually struck her in the jaw with the butt of their gun and knocked her out and then they dragged her out. I peered out the window, and sure enough, the woman was taken to a massive wooden contraption with a giant vertical pole with a horizontal beam, also known as the gallows pole.
A sigh escaped my lips, and I watched in curiosity as the one who was taken out had her hands tied behind her in silence. It was at that point that I looked away as the sound of a large creak echoed. I dared not look again and sighed. So this was how it ended for me? Waiting for when the bell begins to chime, reflecting on my past life that didn’t have much time
Cause at 5 o’clock, I will be given the same sentence
The sands of time for me were running low. Sighing, I looked out another window, also barred, and watched in the direction of Italy a story untold and now unfolding and ending.
As my chains creaked on the floor, I heard a sound like a massive, eerie creak, and when my head turned softly, I saw a priest and a pair of guards ready to take me to get judged.
It doesn’t look good for me. What was my crime? Ahh, my friend, I believe I should tell my tale to someone before, well, before I vanish from this world. Listen well, my friend, for I will only be able to tell this story once.....
It's been a couple of years since we were attacked by the two mercenaries in the small area of Venice italy, I’ve by now fully healed and am in the process of training with Aurora and Mikhail. I’m currently about 16 mean that would make Kali about 14 and selena 18. Not used to working with dual weaponry, I was always a polearm, but it wasn’t too long before it was quickly noted that I could form one out of fire and ice.
Armand, of course, stopped me before I could solidify it, so I had to use these ancient metal blades . I swing the left blade and slice open an orb of energy and leap at Aurora and come down on her into his clutches as he grabbed my leg, but I used my agility to swing down and and swing and at his stomach, close he jumped back and I crashed on the grass on my back, and I rolled back onto my stomache and looked at him with a smile but I winced, I wasn’t healed from the
last bout but I couldn’t just lay in bed all day judas wouldn’t allow it and neither would I, Oh just in case you’ve just picked this up I’m Caleb Night, I’m an inspiring Warlock, 21, a mage that hunts those in the shadows while working undercover dark magic, a double crosser of the shadows, If you haven’t read my story go back and read “prodigal son” but until then a little Q&A about my lineage cant hurt I was the eldest to three younglings, my littlest Sister Kali is 14 she lives here in venice with her girlfriend Krystille and my close friend and mentor’s sister, my
middle Selena is 18 and is currently in Russia and I’m currently living underground at the Hotel Savoia&Jolana because we got a sense when we got back here that Alexis was pulling a fast one to get us killed, why we don’t know, we don’t even know if it is Alexis, but Alexis is part of the Regio crime family so shes capable for sure of causing this kind of mayhem, for now I’m training in the city of venice staying with Armand and Aurora. Judas told me the day I came in that I
would have to stay to heal, by the time I felt better a month passed, then on television a news report came in that Rome, aka the vatican had been attacked and that Pope John Paul II was shot in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City it wasn’t known how but a B.A.P(Browning Automatic Pistol) was found in the street, and the apprehension was quick, the male, Jason ripper also known as Arshin of the alpha Wolves Russian special forces was captured in mid turnover and
caused us to go into lockdown at the Hotel Savoia&Jolanda. As I said, we’re never getting out of here. However, questions came up in my mind about this character, Arsh, who, according to investigations, was part of the Russian Alpha wolves, a team of special ops in Russia. Unsure of if this meant anything,g it caused me to want to get a hold of him, question him. The coincidence was too great; could he be attached to my sister? This line of thinking causes me to miss a block, and I
get a massive shock to my chest, and I get blown clear into a wall hard, and slam the back of my skull into the marble. I land and freeze as my spine lines up with the wall. I don’t know if I cried, but the pain was great. If you’ve ever slammed your back into a fence, a wall, or a tree, you know the pain I’m dealing with. I’m frozen as my body rides through the pain; it’s unbearable, and it doesn’t help. I don’t have the time to rest because,e as we speak, Aurora is on my left,t and Armand is at 12:00.
“Caleb, we can’t dawdle. We need to train you up. If something happens when you get back there that could be avoided by our training, you. I’m gonna feel really bad,” Aurora said, sighing and sheathing her rapier, and Armand did the same, and they both grabbed me and lifted.
I wince as my spine screams at me for moving; it just made the already-pain worse.
“Maybe we need to stop; you look like you’re taking a harder beating than originally thought.”
I wince and breathe hard and grip them and lift myself on my feet.
“N-No..I-I-I’m F-F-Fiine I....I can..I can keep going.” I breathe hard and turn around, and my legs catch, and I black out again, damn it, again I overdid it. I really need to learn my limit.
