ADVENTUS AURORAE or The Coming of the Dawn

Prologue

1883, Virginia.
Midnight, 2:32 am.

Five people open the door, going quietly to the begs filled with money.
"Are you sure this is a good idea?" one of the man asked
"I have a feeling it might not go well"
All of them stare at the begs filled with money
"Then why don't you go, empty handed"
The men in the front grab the bags saying it too the one who asked. He gives each man a beg of money, but when the last man got his he think about leaving some money he stolen. Mid two forty, almost three o'clock, now they are leaving at the time where the Dawn sleep, there are some money left by the last man.
"Hey pops!" the man cheerfully said
"What you got there sunny?"
"Oh nothing, just a bag filled with money"
"money!? Well Ethan J, Carcass where did you get that?"
"I stole it, I stole the money"
The room gets quiet as the old man gets worry
"Who did you stole it from" lower tone then usual
"tell me, Who Did You Stole It From!"
Scared and shocked, the man scream
"AURORAE!!"

The old man stand up, taken with fear knowing the outcome
"listen to me" grabbing the man tightly on his shoulders
The man, perplexed, started to listen to the old man
"I don't understand how clueless you are" angry, fearful, and worry
"you get out of here, right now"
The man confused asked "why, is he that dangerous?"
"dangerous, really that is the first thing you said about him Dangerous, he is more than dangerous"

Three Twenty Three

"He got so used to killing that he would even torture Apaches before scalping or killing them, just to feel something"
The Old man asked his last question to Ethan.
"how many people are you robbing with?"
Ethan hesitated for a moment before answering.
"four" he said
"Jack Calloway, Marcus Harper, Rico Delgado and Samuel O'Rourke"
They both stare silently as the crickets make their sound.
"And you think you can trust them?"
"yeah, I think so"
"Truth is a rare thing, especially when you're robbing someone like Adventus Aurorae"
"isn't adventus aurorae just some rich guy?"
"he is Not just some rich guy. He's a man known for his cruelty. They say he enjoys the suffering of others on that stoic face, he takes his time and think about a perfect way to get you to beg, beg for your life"
When the old man calm down, the room goes silent.
"You know, I'm no amateurs" A hint of uncertainty creeping into his voice
"I have scalped Apaches now and then, I've seen worse, you know?"
The old man knows the severity of Ethan actions that Ethan do not understand of. The old man goes and open a cabinet and grabbed something
"Just remember, Ethan" the old man leaned forward, his gaze piercing through Ethan
"Adventus Aurorae is not the kind you survive from, will if you're lucky that is, but you might lose a limb"
Give a pistol to Ethan
"also, if you get caught by Him, just end it quickly"
Ethan look at the old man gun in one hand
"now go, get out" the old man said it with a harsh tone
"NOW!"
Ethan run in fear going out of town. Seeing an abandoned cabin Ethan thinking about making this place home. Cutting cactuses to drink and eat.
