Schroeder Pevensie
The temple of Thoth wasn't as exclusive as I wanted it to be, when we arrived the holy ground was on the verge of being attacked. I did find it odd that our trip to the temple wasn't as dangerous as I expected it to be, pleasureable if anything. To my surprise, half the acolytes that gathered around the temple of knowledge were now lying face down in the red sands and the ones slaying the innocent lives were the ones that vowed to protect the creation of gods. I don't recognize this world anymore, those who are meant to be the defender of light and justice are now attacking those who are simply looking for sanctuary?
My orders were clear to my team: Save those who can be save and slay the angels who stand there with false faith. Upon entering the temple with Chance, I witnessed a battle of two warriors. One who is stealthy and darkened tricks and another with a burning sword, bright white wings and reflexes of an experienced knight. I rushed in further, wanting to capture the angel but carelessly stepped onto a panel that triggered the temple traps. Before I knew it, the earth that was once under my feet had shattered and lead me into the abyss of a long dark pit. As I fall hard onto my back, pain shooting through my body as I laid there trying to catch my breathe; my ears perked to the sound of something crawling in the sands. Before I could get up, I suddenly felt a sharp pain piercing through my forearm. Another piercing in the back in my neck and another on my ankle. All of which, so painful that my muscles began to tense from reaction! I could only throw off the insect before reaching into my pocket for my lighter. With the lighter tight in my palm, I clapped together releasing a ring of fire around my body to reveal the pit filled with scorpions! It was through the jets of fire swirling that I realized, I may be dead in just a few seconds... Chance felt his grip tighten on the seat of the leather passenger chair, his eyes out to the window of the city growing smaller as they gained altitude. He had no idea when he was going to see Vegas again, but thankfully technology was back to where he could easily get in contact with Vince if he needed to. He wanted to say good bye, but apparently he was still in Chicago taking care of some things. They always had different missions but it was always nice to see each other and go back to the days when they were young, not having to worry about the things that were going on now. The signal above them suddenly turned off, giving everyone the okay to take off their seat belts if they wanted to enjoy the exclusive ammenties in the plane. For a small jet, it felt very spacey. Almost like a giant 1st class lounge in a pent house rather than the first class he had seen on commercial airlines. To the corner was Schroeder, he got up from his seat and made his way over to the bar to make himself something to drink. Ben was also there, sitting next to Robbie who tended to follow Schroeder around like a lost puppy. It was an odd mix of teams, obviously coming together for a greater goal.

It never occured to me until I was at the Trinity house that I would somehow be tied with Chance Nefers. I've known him since the Order years and was the Egyptian explorer tied to the chaos of this mesh pot of a city. It was proven that there were tensions between Chance and Vince, certain desires that weren't met that began to slowly fester inside of them. The feeling of desire is a strong poison, wether it's power or attraction it's strong enough to even persuade the strongest of men.
What I seek for is a connection with the gods themselves. People are chosen, like Cyle and Raf to be blessed by the gods and wield the power of their deity. As a demigod, your traits and genetics are enhanced in a way far more advanced that what my alchemy studies can comprehend. The questions I have are no longer in books or in common pratice. The questions I have is the new frontier of what we can all be. With hard work, understanding and dedication you are able to become more than just a demigod. You can be become a legend and in theory, a god in the astral plane of their existence. I am still learning how the affairs of gods is tied to our destinys here as mortals, but I might as well be active in my search of finding the truth. Chance revealed to me, that as an acolyte you are tied to the same genetic category of being a demigod. You're connections with the gods portray how strong they influence your aura in life. One does not need to be born special to become an acolyte, but the knowledge and rituals of pagan beliefs is what ties you to the thread of the immortals. To begin that journey, one must admit the desires of what they want to achieve, for the gods will need a reason for them to gain their attention. I wish to become an Acolyte and understand my connection with my deity. I wish to have their blessing and spread their influence through my order. I wish to change this world for the better since now more than ever, it needs to be cleansed. Allow me to be your legend Now that the community has a strong support on the outside of the border, they are now receiving supplies along with protection from the Romano's private security. The teams are lead by Pierce and Vince, who gives me up to date information that's worth knowing. Otherwise, the operation is left to them on making this partnership smooth as possible. The superiors that are now following me believe in themselves on fighting against the resistance. They now take arms for the love and support of their superior brotherhood and the federation. I have designated leaders in my personal patrol to continue the fight of equality. All of which tailor to their personal strengths, in the same way they had displayed their support through my whole experience here in Chicago. I am certain that the federation will grow strong here and when the time comes, rally to my call from my brothers and sisters. Administration, Intel and Loyalty : Bobby Bouska
His telepathic abilities makes it easy for him to get information out of people without the use of force. The information he gathers can help the patrol's objection by strengthening the federation's front line. New members that are able to use their gifts for future recruitment can be telepathic scanned for their true cause and loyalty. He will also send me information on what the Chicago Sword patrol's updates are, if they are in need of supplies or extra support; they are able to get in contact with me for emergency purpose. Physical Trainer and conditioning: Mikhail Fedotenko Mikhail is physically large to begin with and can train recruits on conditioning their bodies through rigorous exercise. He also aids self defense trainers in developments of hand to hand combat, melee or range. Recruitment and Morale: Enzo DiRocco The boys passion and fire for the cause of fighting back is what we need everyone to feel. I asked Enzo to be in charge of future recruitments and tell them of our dream of helping our brothers and sisters through this tough struggle. He seems eager to wanting to help me and looks as if he'll do his best to try and impress me. Scouting and Smuggling: Dougie Thompson The nomads ability to phase through objects and obstacles makes him a vital asset to the Chicago Sword Patrol. Dougie can get updates on the secured boarders as well as scouting ahead of the team without being too much at risk. Along with that skill comes with the responsibility of smuggling people and items from one side to the other without being caught, but how does one catch a superior who can not be caged? Missions of the day: Marc Jamison Marc possess an interesting gift that can be proven helpful on strengthening the Chicago federation. Marc must ask the mirror to see who needs help within the area, creating missions for the patrol to accomplish and perhaps gaining new recruits or insight on the battlefield ahead. To my luck, Pierce and Vince were sent to help the Romano family. The two were wild cards in the Order house when they were our competing house in Las Vegas. The two are known to be Geno Romano's top boys to handle his underground business. Geno slowly began to take mob influence and competed against the top mobsters that ran the strip. The business guru was able to invest himself into becoming powerful enough that he became a threat to the criminal world, along with him came the lovers pair.
The two are highly skilled on the field, with Pierce's advantage towards gravity manipulation along with Vince a telekinetic and telepathic partner. Whenever a mission needs to be done, the two are sent to make sure it gets finished. Pierce revealed to me that Geno sent them to take care of the family problem, when they got there they were asked to find a work force to help with the shipments of black market materials. I have the resource and the people who are willing to work for protection. Giovanni has the work force to continue his business in exchange for protection and supplies for the superiors in Chicago. Vince mentioned that Giovanni was contemplating with the idea of siding with superiors anyway, the partners he had were already backing away from him since he was tied to superior propaganda. This will show power and dominance to those who are working to supress superiors to begin with. The information was well worth for my preparation to speak with Giovanni. In fact, I made it priority to meet with Vince later to thank him personally.. |
