compelete darkness sorrounded Rev, inaudioble screams could be heard from a distance, they were not that of a human, but
something close.
Rev could hear running footsteps approching him from somewhere, but just as he tried to concentrate on them,
to determine their direction, they immediately stopped.
However, everytime they appeared again, they somehow, sounded significantly closer.
Rev could feel himself waking up, no, in fact he was certain he was wide awake, just not quite physically.
Rev finally opened his eyes, but he couldnt really tell that he had, because the room was dark.
just as his eyes adjusted to the darkness, a torch suddenly ingited right behind him.
'Argh.. damn it'
Rev flinched, the transition from complete darkness to bright light was too quick.
Rev found out that he was laying in a bed, with several restraints, across his body.
The room was built with old, slab stones, that despite their age, seemed menacing,
and across the bed, right in front of him, sat a man, in his 30is, with a long hair in an undercut hair style,
a brutal, deep, but short scar, that spread across his left eye, in a perfect, straight, horizontal line,
That only could have been made artifically.
The scar gave attention to his comforting brown eyes.
The man stared at Rev.
When the torch ingited earlier, for a split second before Revs eyes ached, Rev caught the image of the man, still staring at him.
Which only meant one thing, the man must have stared at Rev, even though the room was dark.
On any other circumstance, Rev would have shivered, however, he just didnt care any more.
The man smiled.
'How you doing?'
the man asked. He had a surprisingly pleasent voice.
Rev thought that he had nothing more to lose, so he simply relaxed.
'...'
"ho well, i understand your silence, after all, your throat is done for"
The man said in an amused tone.
"WHAT??"
Rev shouted, and while his voice was weaker than usual, it was defenedtly there.
"HAHAHA", the man laughed, he had a pleasent laugh as well.
Rev sighed mentally.
'Bastard... '
"so you can talk"
The man continued
"..."
Rev answered in silence.
The atmosphere in the room grew darker.
"So how did you do it?"
Rev vaguely knew what the man was talking about, he remembered doing something that obviously made people... mad,
but the truth is, he couldnt recall anything at all.
"you are going to kill me anyway so whats the point, even if i wanted to tell you, i dont remember anything"
"Argh..., Rev is your name right?
well Rev, the truth is, i am quite curious how you did it, in fact i find the whole thing quite amusing,
and i pay heavy coin to be amused.
But whats really going to happen here, depends on you"
The man stared at Rev, however rev seemed completely indifferent.
".... ah ahem.. so anyway, as you know, you have somehow managed to consume a power core,
which would normally kill you, somehow.. you survive, however now that the power core is... gone,
it will distrupt the balance of the world, as each nation posses it own power core, and with world
in a dire state now more than ever, things will turn... chaotic,
the other 11 nations have been wanting to start a war for a long time now,
HOWEVER"
Rev was caught completely off guard.
'Whats wrong with him...'
the man continued,
"The only thing that kept them in place, was the potential use of the power core...
but its all just a bluff, the only man who knew how to use
the power of the cores, took the secrets to his grave, but with every nation
saying they can use it, no one wants to take the risk....
damn it... i have said way too much...
all you need to know, is that by killing you the power core can be restored,
and thats exactly what my higher ups want, because our nation is quite... ok,
better off than any other nation for sure, we only got things to lose from a war,
and anyway, no one knows how to use a power core, but consuming it, is most likely not
the way... so...
BUT i do in fact want a war, i want to rule this nation and claim back the old human lands,
so bottom line is... will you help me?, if you will, you might make it out of this place alive,
my name is Kro by the way"
There was so much for Rev to think about, new information that decided his fate,
but he also knew that he had no real choice.
"And do... what for you?"
Rev asked.
"...well if i told you it might increase your chances of saying no... so..
But, i guess, if you tell me how you did it, i might reconsider telling you"
'What do you mean increase my chances of saying no??, this couldnt be any sketchier....'
"..."
A few seconds passed in silence.
"...ill take your silence for a yes"
