The Legends of Dawn ~ Book 1. Chained Ice

Chapter 3

The Town of the Aurora, a pretty big town none the less. Not many people come through, and not just because of the gang that controls the town. Just from the sole thought of the town being quite strange.  Throughout the underground lies extensive sewer systems, these sewer systems at the moment are inhabited by the lowest of all gangs in Aurora; The Rift Gang. 

In the abandoned service area part of the Sewers lies the leader of The Rift Gang, Daēvan, surrounded by his array of furniture and other things forcefully stolen from the people of Aurora. Victor walks into the room from one of the tunnels. 

"Hey, how's it going boss?" Victor walks in quite confident. He held a smirk on his face despite the fear he was feeling from the news he was about to give.

"What is it this time Victor," Daēvan said in an annoyed tone. was sitting on a throne-like chair in the dark end of the room. The dim light being enough to hide his face. He rose from his seat, he wore a black leather jacket over a torn white beater, and dark gray cargo pants torn to be shorts. He's about 6'3 in height. He had short, dark brown, spiky hair that stood up almost like a buzz cut.

"I bring news from border patrol." Victor huffs smiles and looks up at his leader.

"Is it good news? Hmm?" Daēvan questioned.

"Not quite......", Victor turned to the side for a second to cough, then adjusted his aviators a bit. "You see....", he began in a careful tone. "Tamer let one slide on through........by accident."

".....I see......I could kill that screw-up."

"We are currently closing in on the intruder's position as we speak."

"Good, as long as you capture him before he gets to town."

"Oh, well, that's the thing. He's kinda already in town.....", Victor backed away slowly knowing of what was to come.

Daēvan glared at Victor. "How did this happen.....if he got past Tamer then the others should have taken care of him before he reached the town."

"Hey, Hey." Victor extended held his hands out, trying to plead his case. "Just think though if he was this strong to get through our defenses then how bout we invite him to join us."

"I don't care I just want this intruder handled do you understand you useless bags of shit!" He bellowed swinging his arm back and decapitating the head to his throne. He'd growl through gritted teeth. "Get outta my sight and bring me the head of that intruder."

Victor would head towards a tunnel slowly. "Alrighty, boss I'm on it." 

Some of the other members present would mutter under their breaths, with the same thought of recruiting the intruder.

Daēvan's face slowly formed a smile. "Ha.....Victor!", he'd yell out. 

Victor turned with a slight smile on his face.

"I just had the greatest idea." Daēvan smiled. "We should befriend the intruder......when you find him invite him to join at once, and bring him to me."

"Will do sir." Victor gave a two-finger salute then proceeded to walk into the tunnel.

The ground shook twice as if explosions went off nearby. Rocks crumbled from the ceiling of the cave, falling right on Zion's head. Zion awoke from his slumber. He was away from town for two days hoping to have the search party be done with him.

"Alright, one more time kiddos! Blast at that waterfall, draw out the intruder.", a voice was yelling from outside. Two more quick quakes went off.
