Horned Dawnbringer

Creature of light

[Beltboy]

As my vision began to fade, I noticed someone standing next to the french woman, someone I met before, someone I know but barely recognized at first.

I began to feel a melancholy ache upon my chest, a wet, burning sensation upon my eyes, was I crying?
That, I can barely remember.

My ears rung, as I heard the young Mexican man approach me, splashing his feet within the swamp water. For some reason I began to feel as if "man" or "male" is not a good word to describe this person.

I couldn't tell what they were, but they weren't female either. It seemed like they would not appreciate being associated with a gender. What a strange sight, perhaps I must ask them when I recover.

If I recover anyway?

Will I?

I am not sure what will happen next..

The ringing and darkness took over as I felt myself become surrounded by the essence of cold, that was one of the last things I felt for a while... And now, we're at this point.

I watched his health rapidly deteriorate right in front of me, almost like the surge of adrenaline ran out and all your body can do is try to recover.

I felt this once before, the only time I fucked up at my job. There was the initial rage bellowing within my system, yet I tried to associate with my surroundings.

At this point, before he reached the ground, Antonio scrambled to grab him within a frenzy.

Still, both collided into the water, getting soaked.

Unfortunately, heading back to the plane was a rather difficult and cold hike..

The sparrows, magpies and crows were gone, not a bird to be seen or heard anywhere, nor any hibernating creatures within the waters.

I have never set my eyes upon the laboratory below us but I began to wonder what happened to is swamp.

Half of the pines were dead, and a deep aroma, almost fleshy, and bloody arose from some of the areas..

Almost to the private airport now, Antonio, carrying his son almost losing his strength now, tried to press forward.

For a man in his lower 40's, only being around nearly 17 by the time his son Benny was born, he was rather frail and thin.
Getting to know him, I could tell he isn't too old for some strength training. Still it felt wrong to me that he was that young to be a father.

He never told me how old Benny's mother was, still to be that young and be a parent is rather strange.

As for me, a few years ago I had a contract, not going into full detail of my job the contract told me this man was in charge of a sex trafficking ring of those who were seeking asylum in Italy once Las (Basically this universe's version of South America) and Mexico became destroyed overrun by some strange beasts.

That was where I found Ezekiel, my roommate and best friend.

[Ezekiel]

Quit with the sappy bullshit, man your hero complex is strong isn't it today. You're getting too personal, you stupid ass bitch. I think you have feelings for that gunslinger don't you Arin.

[Aryn]

Spell my name right next time, holy shit. Okay okay what was I talking about?

...

Oh yeah.. oversharing again right? I laughed.

I bet you guys are wondering what happened on the plane, it was rather awkward.
