Somewhere around midnight Noah woke up feeling pained filled his body. It was worse than he remembered.
Still he was strong enough to drag his body and sat up supporting himself against the wall. He could feel his body was healing fast still after laying on the hard surface and with both his hands and feet tied.
" Fuck. I wonder if they did the same thing to kids." He mumbled. His mind was filled with million questions, he already had some hints about why this was happening.
Still he really wanted to let them understand reason but he also understand why they were so panicked.
" Guns. The guns. It seems this world still have some reminders of my world." It was first time he was going over his old life and his new life.
He was going along with everything from getting dump in the cave, metting Nova for the first time and fighting for his life.
Meeting Mera for the first time. Her dark gorgeous figure that could make anyone mad with jealousy was enough to get his heart going but his past shadows had made his heart cold for any love for anyone.
" Diana, would definitely laugh at me seeing me like this." He chuckled remembering the face of the woman he loved with all his heart.
He had seen her love, growth and her demise in his own arms. He hated for not being there for her which was why he vowed to never love anyone locking his heart away. Even the most beautiful girls weren't enough to unfreeze his heart.
His job as special forces did sent him around the world mingling with both poor and wealth. After a decade of traveling the world, he met Diana. Last few years with her were a blur of happiness, she was the most beautiful girl in the world.
Her demise was what led him into a spiral for two whole years. His body slowly deteriorated which led to his own death in such a silly way. He can never get over Diana's death especially when he blamed himself because of uncovered situations.
These past fews days were like a dream for him. He was hurt and defeated at first but he took in five kids, trained them as best as he could and even went on a mission to fight monsters? Any normal person would be shaking in his boots just finding out monsters existed in this world.
But is he a normal person? He couldn't even deny meeting similar beasts who were wearing himan skins back in his previous life. If it were up to him, he would have wiped them off the face of the earth because he had seen what these people could do.
But he also knew it was just his wishful thinking. Evil was everywhere, as long as humans existed there would be bad people in the world. Facing real monster was just an inconvenience to him.
With his powers, he knew he could do it. But now, why was he locked up here? It's because of humans. That rage he had suppressed for so long was starting to surface. After meeting Diana he had left this part of him buried in his heart as a promise for her love. She told him repeatedly it was not his job to clean such mess, to always be on edge to look for flaws in people but sadly she was gone.
If she was still with him, she could get him to see make him reason. She was the only light that guided her to the right path but now who else could take her place?
Her constant reminder to do the right thing and trust others were also fading away as a distant memory. If she were to see his eyes right now, she might really panic because she knew the first time she laid her eyes on him she felt the same dread.
It was not for him but for what's to come. She would fear for his enemies and his prolonged hatred for everything 'bad'. Once someone was deemed his enemy, he would stop at nothing to ruin them. Burn them like his firey rage that consumed his mind over his beliefs.
Ot was either him or others, he would go all out utilising any means necessary to make them pay. As his anchor she had seen and felt it first hand.
Now the stage was set, Noah felt his determination. He had met his enemies and now he was going to make them pay.
He has also heard about the war. He was never keen to join conflict but now he was beginning to understand to squash anyone disturbing his quiet life, he had to see this through. Living in this tiny village was some of the most peaceful he had experienced after Diana but it too was short lived.
This time he also had his new found powers. He didn't know what he would face in the future but he had to start somewhere. As for how he will make it happen, he had to think about it.
From enemies with guns with knights with supernatural powers he was out of his elements. He hoped for Nova's return to guide him through this process but ball of light was no where to be seen.
He really hoped for another dream where he could meet those beings but luck seemed to fickle just like his life.
Finally, he calmed down settling into his new reality. Firstly, he had to wipe out who ambushed Alastair and put him in this predicament. He knew he couldn't do it alone since there were too many of them but he could lay down traps or...he could ask for help.
Getting out of here should be his priority but should he take the kids with him? Would it be fair to involve them into his mess? He need to think this through fortunately he had all the time in the world to consider his next step.
