BLUEMIND'S PROFILE

The Journeys End!
Written by: BlueMind (Jason A. Terry)


A tale always starts where one leaves off. So as I sit here I think is this really the end of my story. Or is it the begging of something bigger than I know. Sitting in this jail rotting away, is this how I end or is this how something new starts. After today's events it's hard to make sense of anything. But for you to fully understand what I am talking about and why I am telling you this I'll just go back to how today started.

First off, my name is Ike Menace. I am an average pick-pocket I take what I need and no more. Earlier today I was getting a little hungry so I slipped on over to the town market. I was supposed to meet up with one of my long time accomplices. Her name is Kilona Avatta. Kilona is only about 14 and has been on the streets for 4 years now her parents where both killed when she was young. Not much else about that is known. I try not to push the issue. Once I had arrived I had noticed her already at work. She was crying her eyes out by a food vender making a big scene. I immediately moved in and made my move. I stood behind who looked to be the Owner of the stand and reached my hand around him into the stall. Once I felt my hand meet with two apples I swiftly pulled it back stuffed them into my bag and made my way over to Kilona, I took her hand and made pretend like I was a relative of some sort trying to calm her down, and before I knew it she was sprinting away dragging me along. As she turned the corner into a nearby alley she stopped and snatched one of the apples form my bag.

“Hey!” I said as she began to munch down my food. She giggled and rolled her eyes at me. She took a big bite out of the apple and mumbled something. I couldn't make it out because of her chewing. “Hey. Try swallowing your food. It may help.” I said with a slight laugh. She frowned and downed her food. Suddenly her expression changed.

“Ike, You where late!” She began ranting about how she had been waiting and couldn't stall any longer and the like. Usually when she gets like this I zone out and ignore it, pay attention now for this is where the day takes a turn for the worse. As she was ranting on I noticed an armored man yelling at a woman further down the alley. I gave Kilona a silent shush as I crept closer to the two. I motioned for her to hide behind some crates and I listened in.
“Hand of the necklace Wretch! You know what Lord Rein would do to you if he where here right now!” The man said holding out his hand. The woman had a shocked look on her face and started to run but the man grabbed her and flung her against a wall. “Ill never give it up!” She screeched and I noticed a strange looking medallion around her neck. That must have been what the man was after for he was looking at it. He raised his sword and I jumped into action.

“Stop it right there!” I yelled as I tossed a rock at the back of his head. I turned to Kilona and told her to leave. She shook her head and took off into the market. The man was know facing me, before I knew it my dagger was locked with his sword. He kicked me down to the dirt and grabbed the woman. He raised his sword again and I tried to stop it but was to late the blade met the woman and she fell to the ground. The pendant was lying next to her and there was a lot of blood. The man laughed as he grabbed the pendant then looked at me. “Now boy you know what happens to people who dare try and stop Lord Rein.” I tried to move but my body was frozen. The man then vanished into thin air. I crawled to the woman and she grabbed my arm. “Boy! Thank you for your bravery.” She said coughing up some blood. I held back my emotions and focused on her words. “You must get that pendant back from him. Go and see Sir Raymone at the Church. Tell him Mari sent you and that Lord Rein has the pendant. He will know what to do.” The look in her eyes became more faint and I saw her fade away, her last words where to me. They where “Promise me, promise me this please.” With those words she fell out of life into the beyond. In my mind I made that promise. But when I cam to my feet I herd a voice cry out.

“MURDER!!!” some one was yelling from the alley entrance. Before I could even react Royal Guards where approaching me from her direction. I ran the other way only to be cut off by more guards. I could do nothing but wait. I dropped my dagger and allowed my capture. That is how I ended up here in this cell rotting away. But is this the end, or is my journey just starting…..Only time will tell.
