19 year old Aiden Moore is headed to Lake Isabella to smoke a couple of joints with his two best friends Liam and Ethan, after a long walk from home he finally reached the lake where he found his friends at lakeside, from their behaviours he could tell they were already high beyond measure.

Aiden: "Hey boys."

Liam: "THERE HE IS!!! MISTER MOORE arisen from his deep slumber."

Ethan: " shut the fuck up you nerd, here Den, I rolled you a couple of joints."

Aiden: " Thanks Ethan, you have no idea how much I need those today."

Liam: "Ah, it appears as though miss Cohen has broken his heart yet again."

Ethan: "Seriously? Rachel cheated again?."

Aiden: "Nah, at least I dont think so besides I haven't seen or talked to her since her dad caught us kissing in her room last Sunday."

Liam: "HAHA I heard about that, hope it didn't go too bad."

Aiden: " nope, just yelled at her and told me to leave, her dad's always been nice but he's way too overprotective of her, which is understandable... Oh boy I feel weird!"

Liam: "What you mean? you haven't smoked anything yet?"

Aiden: "I dunno, something feels completely off."

Ethan: "EYO LOOK AT THIS AURORA JUST TOOK DOWN BOTA!"

Aiden: "Shit you don't have to shove your phone in my face."

Liam: "wait Brotherhood of the Almighty is gone?"

Aiden: " What is that?"

Ethan: " it's a brotherhood that worships an old myth, they've been active for over 300 years according to Wikipedia, apparently those sick fucks think an almighty god is coming to cleanse the world of those with a crooked heart, some random fucking prophecy or some shit."

Aiden: "and Aurora Valiant took them down?"

Ethan: "Yup our very own superhero just brought down a terrorist organization, for good this time."

Liam: "They'll rise again, this isn't the first time The Bota was taken down, terrorism isn't that easy to wipe out."

Aiden : "correct, but wouldn't you two want someone to come along and rid the world of evil? I mean it's a noble god to worship but the whole acts of terrorism they perform ruins their whole ideology, according to Google they have a kill count of over 250K deaths! that's a lot of fucking innocents to kill."

Ethan: "Yeah but such a god doesn't exist Aiden, and all those myths they believe in is just another reason for them to spill bloo.. OH FUCK!"

Liam: "Dude what's the matter?"

Ethan: "The weed is way too strong guys, I am defeated, I'll go grab some shuteye."

Aiden: "Yeah this motherfucker high as fuck, sleep tight you junkie."

Liam: "ooooh yeah he aint kidding, this shit is deeeeep, I would advise you to not smoke it but you are a junkie as well so... imma sleep too, daaaayuum who sold u this Ethan yooo!"

Aiden: " I'm heading out guys, got something to do. Thanks for everything homies, I love all you 3 let Noah know I said so."

Liam: "uh huuuh later Den."

Aiden grabs the joints Ethan had prepared for him and makes his way towards a nearby hill that overlook the lake, he had always loved that spot and he decided it should be the last he'd ever see. after a few minutes of walking he arrives at a beautiful picnic site where he set his backpack up on the ground and sat down, out of nowhere he started talking to himself.
