A Boy and His Dragon

Act:I Phase:V:Sudden Visitations

It was hard to submit for a new one, but I eventually got a new phone at the base.As I plopped down to rest on my bed.. I hear a knock on my cabin.And I immediately look up at my door.

"Come in!"

It was Jessalyn, and she looked a little concerned. And kinda pissed. I didn't need this today.

"You abandoned your post, where were you!? I was worried sick!"

I scoff and mumble, she sits next to me and has a concerned look in her eyes.

"Michael...I know there's something wrong..what is it?"

I look the other way, and then back at her.  I think of Olivia..and I mumble again.

"I went to visit a..friend. If you have to know.."

I could feel Jessalyn hold my arm..and I stay still. It was my concern of how other people would feel if they saw me and her like this..I would honestly never hear the end of it.I have an idea..but it might be sloppy.

"Im heading out.."

Jessalyn looks at me all worried. Like if I knew what she was up to.

"Where are you off to Mike?"

"To the main terminal hall, so I can sign up for a mission..Im bored as hell"

Jessalyn walks out of my cabin, almost disappointed. And I slip my jacket on, and put my sword in its sheath. I grab my keys, and lock the cabin door. I jog  downstairs towards the receptionist, and head to her once I arrive to the hall.

She greets me with a smile.

"Michael? It's Saturday..you wanna head out?! Are you sick ?"

I chuckle a bit.

"What do you have for me?"

She hands me a clipboard, containing a list of locations for me to do extra jobs. I see one near the slums..and I sign my name. 

She types my name and prints a confirmation ticket for me head out. She hands me the slip.

"Be careful out there, the bounty on this guy is really high!, don't do anything dumb!'

I head to the terminal, and get dropped off to my location. Kyle waves at me. and I smile, waving back at him. The car goes off and I begin to drift and see the sights of the city..the skies are grey, and I see many people walking and talking.

The car drops me off, and I slowly walk out the huge capsule car.

I take a step and look into the contents of the ticket the receptionist gives me, and I see the description of the man I have to take care of..I crumble the slip into my pocket.

I sense an aura..a very disturbing one..I begin to hear lots of whispering..

-I finally found you-

-Show me how much you've grown-

-give me the pleasure of your suffering I once felt-

"Salem you bastard...GET THE FUCK OUTTA MY HEAD!!"

The aura glows green, and spreads away from my body. I see him appear within the glowing the dust..I see a slim shadow..clenching its fists...a new color of violet spreads across his arm. He approaches closer and I see the anger in his eyes.

"Brother...show me...give me a taste of your power."

I draw my sword out of its sheath. And prepare for a revelation, one that I might not easily escape this time. I start to charge my inner energy, and look at him with so much regret..ready to hack through his senses and open up his deep remorse that seeks freedom.
