Chapter 2 - Origins of Karnage Part 1

Karnage looked at noah "Well take a seat this might take a while, Now then my origin story begins in the early 1300s, I was but a wee boy then ten or eleven years old, and talk was flying around the town...." As the man talked noah realized he was no longer in the forest but next to eleven year old karnage, noah could still hear him talking but it was like he was right there experiencing it, and where ever Karnage went noah followed like a floating spectator. "Theres vampires afoot or something evil," people every where were talking to each other, and people were running back and forth around town with he said she said news. Karnage could care less this didn't involve him, he was always told he was to young and that these matters didn't concern him at all. So instead of listening to the adults talk he took off towards the forest, he had always felt the best when surrounded by the trees. As karnage wandered deeper into the forest something caught his eye, he could have sworn he just saw something flash off to his left, but no that would a person and a person couldn't move that fast. But curiousness drew him towards what he thought he saw, all of a sudden a man had a knife to his throat and he growled "You're coming with me, scream and I'll slit your throat understood?" Karnage nodded slightly and went with the man, the man threw Karnage onto the back of a horse and hopped on the second one, they rode off with Karnage looking back at the forest and village fading behind him. Karnage let one tear roll down his cheek and said very quietly "I'm sorry mom, I know this will hurt but I was dumb, when I can I'll try to get back to you, hopefully it won't be too long. After hours of riding they came to a stop in front of a large boulder the man hopped off and knocked on the boulder, the boulder rolled off to the side to reveal a tunnel hollowed out into the mountain. The man led the horses and Karnage down the tunnel, after about a mile it opened up into a giant cavern that had living quarters every where. Karnage was led past those and deeper into the mountain, after a while he was dropped off into what looked like a mine. The man tossed a pickaxe at karnage and chuckled "Welcome to your new life, I hope you enjoy..." But the man never finished because Karnage had swung the pickaxe into his head, the man dropped dead and Karnage grabbed the man's sword and leapt onto one of the horses. Karnage mad his way through the mountain back to the entrance and outside.
