Run

Chapter 5 - The Present

Hey guys! I just wanted to do a short pause to let you know that I am going to start implementing some new writing techniques that i've learned. Each chapter will probably become longer and a little different because of this, so if you don't like it, just let me know! Thanks! ~TheCreator

While walking forward I decided to do a quick observation of the man who seemed to be the leader. He had the sort of "all knowledge" tone in his voice, so that assumption was made quickly. His posture, however, pointed out things that didn't seem to be leader material. First of all, his body was thin and scrawny, which didn't necessarily surprise me. If you lived in here your whole life, food had to be on a bit of a shortage. The second flaw was more noticeable, and that was his facial features. Leaders had either lots of battle scars, which always led to a heroic and dangerous tale, or lots of wrinkles due to the stress of handling people. His face had neither of these. He looked as if he had just woken up from a night after a day at the spa, which distracted me from taking his words seriously.

His clothes proved me wrong on my observation, because he was the only one of the people that I saw wearing black robes. The rest of them wore white robes with white hoods that barely covered their faces, but he wore a sleek black robe that didn't cover any of his head or face. He also wore a gold necklace that had a large red gem in the center, and I could make out some sort of design on the gem. It must've been the rebellion's sign or something.

"Randy White, we have never seen someone quite as skilled as you."

How on earth did he know my name? And did he just say I was skilled?

"You run across the buildings as if they were a second ground, and you have grown strong against the energy blasts of the weapons those monsters carry. You were shot by three, and yet you survived with almost no harm."

"I wouldn't say no harm done, but you have a point." I replied

"As such, we would like you to help us tear down the foundation of this tyrannical society that you live in. We need to to separate Euromerica."

As far as I know, the rebellion hasn't been active at all. This is the first i've heard of it, anyways. The idea wasn't too bad, but I had encountered one thing that made me stop in my tracks.

They had just asked me to tear down the strongest country on earth.
