—Flashback—

"Rory! Come downstairs for a sec!" My dad, Nick Rye, hollered from downstairs. "You need to see this!"

I was in my room sketching the magnificent skies and mountains of Montana on my notepad. "Comin'!" I yelled, my country accent thick as I placed my notepad and pencil down on my bed and opened my door, proceeding to walk down the stairs to the living room.

Once I made it to the living room, our television was on. It was staticky, but it was still visible. On the screen was a handsome, slim man with a nice, neatly groomed beard, many tattoos, the most noticeable one being a huge, scarified tattoo of the word 'Sloth' on his chest, and had the brightest, enchanting blue eyes I've ever seen; he looked like a model from a magazine. Maybe even a God. My breath hitched in my throat at the sight of him. He had aviators on top of his head and a brown trench coat decorated with little white planes. His name 'John Seed' showed up at the bottom of the screen.

"We are all sinners. Every one of us. You, me." John chuckled. "Even the Father knows deeply of sin." He subconsciously rubbed his chest; his blue shirt was unbuttoned, showing the top of his muscly chest. "It's a poison that clouds our minds." The camera angle zoomed out, revealing his whole body as he walked forward. "What if I told you, you could be free from sin?" He asked as he placed his hands on the other two people on the screen's shoulders. "What if I told you that everything you ever dreamed could come true? What if I told you that everything could be overcome if you embraced an idea: That freedom from sin can come from the power of just one word..." John ushered the two people off to the side as he raised his hands up in the air, the camera going along with him.

"YES!" The crowd cheered as the camera went back to John.

Then, a cop was duct taped, mascara all over her cheeks and eyes as if she'd been crying; she honestly resembled a raccoon disguised in a police uniform. Someone was pushing her over to John. They seemed to have the same outfit with the same symbol on it... Weird...

"Yes I am a sinner. Yes I wish to be unburdened. Yes..." John walked over to the cop and grabbed her biceps. "I must be redeemed." His left hand went to her throat, gently stroking it, threateningly. "If you're watching this, know that you have been selected." He walked away from the female cop and strutted toward the camera. "You will be cleansed." John gazed at the camera, his ocean blue eyes shining through the television as if he was staring into my soul. "You will confess your sins, and you will be offered atonement." He held up his hand and pointed at me through the tv. "Don't worry, you don't have to do anything. We'll come for you. Welcome to Eden's Gate." John smiled at the camera and walked away as the screen went completely staticky, making a loud sound then turned black.

John's smile was engraved into my mind... Tattooed forever on my brain... His smile was indescribable... His teeth were white, perfect even. Everything about him was so... fucking breathtaking.

My dad stood up from his couch and strolled over to me as he placed his hands on my shoulders. "Rory. That man is dangerous."

"Who is he, dad?" I asked incredulously, one of my eyebrows raised in confusion and curiosity at the same time.

"His name is John Seed and he's controllin' the valley. There's no one gettin' in or outta here without dyin'. He's one of the leaders of this cult called Project at Eden's Gate. If you. Ever. See him. You run and get me or you shoot him... or both. You hear? He's not a man to be fucked with. The cops came to arrest his brother, but one got away and he's out wreaking havoc on the cult." My dad explained as he ushered me over to the couch.

"Mom, is this true?" I questioned my pregnant mom, Kim, looking at her.

She nodded her head. "We have a lot of explaining to do."

P.S. Don't read if you're uncomfortable with the reader being only 18 years old because John is like 32‼️ oopsies🤣🤭 Also, in Far Cry 5, let's ignore the fact that Kim and Nick is around 29 and their daughter is 18, that means they would've conceived Rory at 11 years old😳so just ignore that hahahahaha
