Chapter 1-
Sampson takes his sit on the hall of judgment. He being the youngest senator sits on the lowest pedestal. The highest senator Sebastian sit’s on the highest pedestal. Sebastian say’s in a elderly voice “The time for are monthly revenue stream has begun. Sampson you being the lowest of us six may go first.” Sampson face is twisted with anger and impatience in the distorted system of new citadel city. He suddenly bark’s out in a angry voice “ Fuck the damn revenue stream, you know the slums only brings in barely Five grand. Sure all of you cock-sucker’s bring in millions and millions of dollars, but me I’m tired of being deprived while this old-fucking fart looks down on me.” The elder senator now stricken with anger only god knows it’s limit he say’s “ Leave or die before my mercy fades.” Sampson gets up and says “ Mercy is only for god to decide.” Sampson walk’s out of his door and Sebastian say’s “ Kill him.” Two suits walk out and catch Sampson just as he is getting in his car. Sampson hears they’re muffled footsteps and turn’s around and pull’s out a .25 pistol and shoots both of them in the cheast before they can react. He say’s in a weird voice “ Better them than me.” He get’s in his car and drives to his manor. He open’s the door and say’s in his head “ The Briefcase under my bed has all my money.” He run’s up the stair’s and goes to his room then he slides the bed to the side and unlocks a floor panel. Inside there is a golden suit-case, he grabs it in a hurry and sprints back to his car. He drives off and all of a sudden the house blow’s up. Sampson start’s sweating wondering if the car is also booby-trapped. He stop’s at a plane-runway and run’s out the car and makes it to a jet. He get’s in the cock-pit and flies off. He is relieved and say’s “ That bastard want’s me dead, I’ll lay low in China or something. He flies about three-thousand miles off of the coast and suddenly a explosion is heard from the back of the jet. The force of the explosion send’s him through the wind-shield of the jet and his body hit’s the water with a hard thud. He washes up on a island that seems uninhabited, As Sampson wakes up he sees a figure moving in the shadow’s and he tries to get up but his leg’s don’t move and the figure jump’s out the bushes and incapacitates Sampson. Sampson wakes up with a major headache and is being dragged into a temple. He is thrown into a room of just two people besides him, A elderly woman and a man who is sitting on a throne Sampson realizes he realizes the man on the throne is the chief and the elderly lady is probably a advisor of some sort, the man say’s in a rough-but wise voice “ why have you came here outsider.” Sampson respond’s with “ my life was threatened by powerful men. They tried to kill me so I fled on a plane and it blew up and I washed up on this island.” The man seems interested in Sampson and say’s “ what is your name.” Sampson replies quickly with “Sampson.” The man stands and his body seems to move swift even thou he look’s slow. The man say’s “ I am Chief Raziel, of the raven clan, we operate in the shadow’s. You seem like you are a strong man, I will teach you are method’s and way’s if you are willing.” Sampson quickly say’s “ I am willing.” The chief look’s satisfied and say’s “Celty” and a girl comes out of the shadow’s and say’s “ Yes chief what is needed.” Raziel Say’s “ Take him to a one-room cabin and outfit him.” She guides Sampson down a long path-way and escort’s him into a room and hand’s him a black robe and a black-under-suit. She say’s in a soft voice “ To make you look like the shadow’s that the raven’s uphold.” Sampson look’s confused but pushes a careful “ Thank you … celty is it” , and she say’s “ your welcome and get a good sleep tomorrow the chief will test your will.” She leaves out the room and Sampson lies on the bed and drift’s into a deep sleep. He wakes up in a pitch-black world and the only thing he can see is a raven perched on a branch. Suddenly the raven flies toward Sampson and suddenly Sampson turn’s into a flock of raven’s and they all hover on the branch but now it is a giant tree instead of a small tree. Sampson wakes up from the dream in sweat’s. Celty is in his room looking at him and say’s “ What happened to you.” Sampson sit’s up in bed and say’s “ I had a dream, there was a raven it flew towards me and I suddenly turned into a flock of ravens and we all perched on this huge tree.” Celty look’s horrified and say’s “Come with me.“ Celty drags him to the raziel and makes him explain his dream and the chief say’s “ You are special Sampson, you are the raven’s enforcer.”
