Turns out Seattle isn't as nice as I expected to be. I got an apartment on Capitol hill, one of the weirdest places in Seattle, and settled in. I didn't have much to pack just clothes, my computer, and my pistol. What? You've gotta be prepared for anything, especially with all the news about the HellBound. I moved into a place across from a park, not a lot in it like no stove, just a sink, fridge, and microwave, but it had a great view of the park through giant, glass, factory windows. I may have splurged a little, okay a lot of money to get this place but i feel it will be worth it. I have a job interview in two days, I ordered a new bed, my old one got scorched, it should be in tomorrow and there are like five restaurants just down the street for when I'm hungry. 'This should be good for me,' I thought to myself excitedly, 'its been like, what, two years since my last move? This should be fun.' A knock at my door brought me out of my thoughts. I walked to the door and opened it. "Delivery for, um.. Harrison Blake?" I stared surprised. "That is you isn't it?" I snapped back to reality, "Y-yeah that's me." He smiled, "Here you go sir." He handed me a box, "Welcome to Seattle." Then he walked off. I hurriedly shut and locked the door, then ran to my counter to open the box. I cut the tape with my house key and slowly opened the flaps of the box. All that was in there was a letter and a red and yellow feather necklace. I left the necklace and opened the letter. It read, "Hope you are settling in nicely. This is for you, it reminded me of you when I sensed you in the city, Harrison the healing flame." I haven't heard that nickname since I was homeless. "We should meet, we have a lot to talk about. -spensor" 'He's still alive?' I thought to myself. 'Great.'
