The stars where shining up in the sky in the middle of the night. The moonlight help those on the ground to see where they were or going. Many people in gray robes were walking in long rows towards their destination. Old, young, rich, and poor they all were to wear the robes to the ritual that was once in a month. Hundreds would always go to the old city where at one point used to be much bigger then before, during the Era of the Enlightened. The group would always gather at the nearest cliff that was on the fringes of it to see the great craters that was left where it once stood. As they all arrived they began to chant in an unknown language and all put their hands together in prayer. At the very end a old man looked to be in his 80s his clothing was slightly different with jewels and a long chain over his neck. On his hand a staff which had a great eagle at the tip but as well right under one could see an all seeing eye if you took notice.
The crowd continue to pray as more others in similar robes near the old man as well all came to his side. As the man turned to them he soon nodded and took out a great book before him. Setting it down he then had some attendants soon brought a rather large sag that was moving and continued to struggle. They soon placed the sag on top of a table which the crowd began to stir with their chants increasing in volume. The Old man began to as well chant along with the group in different sentences with him proclaiming in their language this continued for a good fifteen minutes. But soon as the moon was at its highest in the night it all stopped.
The man soon took out an golden hilt which was a dagger of some sort, he first put in a bowl of water giving blessing to it in his language. Turning to another end he soon raised it toward the great book. He soon then turned to the moon raising in the sky continuing his prayer. Turning to the sag he came to it continuing his prayer with his voice ringing out for all to hear in the wasteland below could see. Soon raising the dagger up high the blade was ready and as soon as the dagger went out an boom sound rang out which all stood still. The boom was that was a gun coming from a barrel to one of the robed people in the crowd as he was moving quick. The Gun shattered the knife as the robed person pushed people out of the way charging towards his goal.
At First some of the attendants got in the way all taking short blades from under their own robes but the robed assailant quickly took out a Tomahawk from his left hand and continued to shoot his hand weapon at them as he went. To enemies that got near he hacked and bashed his enemies til he was right in front of the old man. The man was panicking as tried to run only for the tomahawk was thrown as the assailants hand weapon was now empty of bullets. The old man fell to the floor as everyone was panicking, he then promptly walked up as he reloaded his weapon.
“Mellor Karn, from the Clan Karn I would believe?”, the assailant said as he walked up to the old man.
“Who.... who are you?!!”, the old man soon shouted as he was dragging himself trying to get away as the assailant promptly fired at the man's hands with everyone else in the area too shocked to move.
“Why don't you remember me? Its been 26 years you do realize.”, the robed man said as his face was still hidden. The old man's face went pale as he heard what he just said knowing this was likely his end now.
“Impossible all of them should be dead!! You died!!”, the old man wailed as blood continued to exit out of his wounds.
“Yes I did but I was reborn, living as a soldier, a hunter, and a person of survival. I have been hunting you and other like you for these last nearly three decades didn't you know many of your kind have all died? As well you have aged very poorly others looked so young for so many years of living. I take it you been trying to reclaim that silly immortal youth, hypnotizing the town here and sacrificing a little child in the process. Most wouldn't notice til you kidnapped that rich man's little girl. Because of that I was hired and here I am and look what have it I have one of the so called ascended humans of the old Earth before the War.”, the man soon said.
“Damn you... damn you and your fucking family... we killed them all how dare you hunt us for a century!! You and your Clan were wiped out we thought we can finally rule this world but why must you persist to live?!! Huh Ricard Victor?!!!”, the old man screamed.
“You silly old men who think to become immortal and gods... you haven't learned a thing? I am your Reaper and I will kill all of you Illuminati before I am done. Just fucking die please.”, Ricard Victor said as he fired multiple shots from his specialized hand weapon he carried. Blood continued to spill out from the dying man as his body slowly was burning to a crisp into thin air. As it was done Ricard looked as the people hypnosis soon was no longer in effect as people were wondering where they were. People panicked as they didn't know what to do now. Turning to the sacrificial table Ricard Victor soon opened the sag that held the said little girl who was gagged and unable to make a noise but tears were streaming out from her eyes.
“Who... who are you?!! You here to kill me like the other bad men?!!”, the little girl soon cried out.
Putting down his hood Ricard revealed his aged face looking to be in his early forties to be precise forty one. His hair was brown and had a beard on his face as well a small mustache. On his cheek was very long scar that went down his right side up to his forehead but his eyes were different one was normal green, well the other was an artificial white pupil eye. His left hand as well looked to be mechanical as well but no one would know about it.
“Don't worry your father sent me to get you. I am to bring you home so let's go.”, Ricard said with a smile as he picked up the girl effortlessly as he walked away towards his Trike. Putting the little girl on the back seat and soon took the wheel and headed toward his destination.
As the people left the hill only one lone robed female figured lingered at last. She didn't move one bit seeing the robes of the Priest on the dirt.
“As god as my witness... I will avenge you father... You were good to me all these years and always I followed you whatever you said... I maybe not good at killing or cooking. But I will avenge you one day!!! One day, I will kill Ricard Victor!!!”, a red headed woman soon shouted as she cried under the moonlight. To her it looked both the moon and stars were crying with her in her sorrow.
00 End
In the Far Future, after the Greater War, humanity lives on a dying planet. With humans either living in the wastelands or in great fortress mega cities across the globe. After the war new powers were unlocked within humanity as well lost species never heard of began to appear. Mythical creatures thought dead were awakened; dragons, elves, and many other such things that were thought impossible. This tide caused multiple factions to form with things like magic reappearing. Those who gain such things turned to technology, thus creating new super soldiers at their disposal. The world is still in chaos but not as much since the end of the After Wars. A new tale is about to begin and a new chapter in human history may well bring its extinction.
