Helix Operatives: Creation

Mind Walker

Ceves awoke to find himself in the garage he used to work in. He was wearing a black shirt, blue jeans, and black boots at the time. "Urgh... Angel... Did it work?" Asked Ceves feeling slightly light headed.

"Yes, you're in," said Angel to him. "You're right now in your mind, which is an embodiment of you in some form or another. It can be a dark secret, something familiar, something you don't want to surface at all. Anything is an option."

"Hence the garage, right... So how do I get out of here and what do I have to do?" Asked Ceves as he got up off of the ground.

"Normally you wouldn't be able to, but you need to leave the building for the moment. You'll have to find the door to the Puppeteer's mind in order to see what he sees and to find out where he is. I'll guide you to the door," said Angel.

"Alright then," said Ceves as he walked out of the room. He found himself in another room, a large library of some kind rising high to the sky and out of view.

"Okay... Who's mind is this?" Asked Ceves as he looked around.

"Ceves?" Asked a voice. Ceves looked behind him to see the doorway had vanished and Certainia was standing behind him wearing a black robe that covered everything but her head.

"Cert? Let me guess, you want a library, don't you?" Asked Ceves.

"Cev, I'm a walking library. My mind can never forget anything and I know almost everything anyways so... This is just my mind," said Certainia. "There's something I do want though." She threw the robe off of her, revealing a number of black straps around her body and a number of other restraint devices hanging around her waist.

"I want you, Master," said Certainia with a trance like stare in her eyes.

"Master? You know I'm not your master, right?" Asked Ceves.

"That's what you think, but you'll always be my master. And I will always be your obedient..."

"Cert, I thought that you wanted to be free and not be a slave!"

"Well... Spire does... But I don't. I always stay quiet, I always wait to be spoken to even in group discussions. Let's be honest, I will always be your..."

"What about your butterfly?"

"B-Butterfly?"

"Yeah, the butterfly necklace you have to remember your parents. Do you think they would want you to be a slave?"

"I..."

"Cert... Listen, I have something major to do right now but when I'm done and awake we'll talk about it, okay?"

"O-Okay..." said Certainia as she looked down towards the ground. Ceves let out a heavy sigh and walked away, resisting his urges to say something else. He found the doorway and walked through it into a large grave yard with a storm above him.

"Well this is going to be fun," said Ceves sarcastically. He walked through it, looking for the other doorway only to find a figure standing over three tombstones. Ceves approached the figure from the side, seeing it was Theon who had his head down and with a somber face.

"Theon..." said Ceves.

"Oh, Silence... I should've known you were coming... I-I'm sorry... I..." said Theon looking away from the stones for a moment and then back to them. Ceves looked over the names on the stones. Two of them said Aledo Murton and Plania Murton, Theon's parents with the last one saying Ceves Sadir.

"You never did get over it hun?" Asked Ceves.

"No... I can't even bring myself to figure out how they died... I know it wasn't an accident but..." said Theon.
