The Redemption of Maximus

Prologue

The world is screwed up place. Everyone in it just wants peace when it isn't promised to nobody. We work for ourselves to try to improve our ways of life only for someone who has more to take it. Everything is about monetary gain and if you don't got the green you better have a way to survive.

Help wont come when you need it. There is no home and having shame is a simple thing of the past. We all tell people to have hope. We tell them that if they work hard enough that change will eventually come and with that change they will find their happy ending. I've watched humans kill for that happy ending. I've committed murder when a tyrant thought to torture the only good thing in this world I have ever found in this fucked up place. Even when I tried to save it, I still lost it.

Yeah, you heard right. I am no saint. This world is far from cupcake and t ,rainbows and their isn't not one soul that could tell me different. I have had to fight to survive since the day I lii I broke out of an egg into this world. No one has ever known where I came from and from the moment I got here I've never know any kindness. I have always been the odd one out because I was different. I'm not talking different just because the color of my skin. I'm talking different because when I get well and truly pissed I turn into a vicious monster.

I'm not talking a kiddie monster like the one that creeps under your bed while you are sleeping or chooses to hide in your closet. I'm the type that you cant get away from. I travel through space and time. If I want you, I will have you. I have the powers of invisibility on my side, and you will never see me coming. There is no one that can catch me because I can poof away at the drop of a hat. If that doesn't scare you than the thousands of scars on my body and my size definitely will. But who cares about that shit anyway. Looks aren't everything.

Years ago everyone who knew my name feared me. Everyone who knew what I was steered clear. Then I was approached by the government. They knew the reputation I had and wanted me off their streets. When I wouldn't follow they bribed me with information. Apparently, I wasn't the only one out here of my kind. There were more more monsters, and I just couldn't sit around. They delivered me to a camp and forbade me to leave it. They wouldn't have bothered if they knew what I was capable of. I fought so many of my own kind trying to be on top so that no one would ever have power over me again. No one can control a beast.

Then when the golden boy came he took my glory. My reign of terrifying power ended, but the crazy thing is, that after he showed me what was out there in the world for me, I didn't mind it one bit. That bright golden monstrosity is what has kept me here since my twelfth year. Its why I took up the position of protecting the five clans. Yeah, that's right along with being a murderer, a tyrant, and a downright mean motherfucker, I'm also a hypocrite. I said that their was no hope for this screwed up world, yet I still sit in this camp waiting for mine. After ten years I'm done waiting.

Holding me here for this long has been a lie. I should have known that after everything I have done there would be no redemption for me. A monster doesn't get a happy ending. I'm a tyrant cause I like the taste of fear in the air. I was even raised by one. I'm a murderer because someone took the once piece of light I ever found and tried to snuff it. I'm a mean ass motherfucker because no one in this world is to be trusted. I'm the king in many parts of this place because I'm unstoppable. I take shit too far and don't care how anyone else feels as long as I come out on top. My name befits my station and my glory.

I am Maximus.
