Pratia III

[Zain]

The Final Day

That morning they had agreed to go further West away from Mobile and Prater territory. All but one, a man by the name of Roosevelt Gardner (Makrell) voted in favor of this plan. They offered to leave him behind, but he opted to go with them. Aaron Anduin (Chaotix) and Charlie (Chief Pappy) tag-teamed the leadership role. The three women, Leigha (Visorslash), Kira Cooper (Ibn-Khaldun), and Crystal Perreault (Darth Feather) kept a cool countenance and assisted the group the best they could.

Crystal, Leigha, and Charlie were in favor of lynching Kira for the night's murder while the others wished for Leigha to go. In the end, with the extra influence of the young Anduin boy, the decision was made.

Leigha didn't fight when they grabbed her arms and Charlie pulled the knife to her throat. She began to speak and stunned everyone, "Pratia will consume all of you." She looked Aaron in the eye, "You're the son of the General, you're not even of Mobilian blood. Your father attacked Mobile six years ago not for it's wretched resources, or to enslave the inbred population... No, he wanted you back."

Aaron hesitated, trying hard not to be deceived.

She continued, "Areos, his brother... YOUR uncle stole you from him when he defected from the Pratian army. Your father wanted you back, until reports from Hayden came back saying how soft and loyal you had become. He decided he wanted you gone along with the rest of your sorry people."

Aaron felt fear, a different fear. "You've been watching me?"

"We have eyes everywhere. You've never been alone your entire life." She responded in a haunting manner.

Aaron looked at Charlie and nodded, and he slit her throat ending her life.

They all stood in silence, watching the body bleed out, wondering if their nightmare had ended. Aaron looked at Kira and Crystal, "I don't care what she said, you are my people." He put his hand on Charlie's shoulder, nodded, then on Roosevelt's. He raised his voice a little higher, "We're all that's left of a once thriving city, a million down to five. We have a job to do."

"What's that?" Charlie asked, relief starting to sneak into his heart.

"We have to kill them all."
