Raiders Of The Lost Souls

We were surrounded. The raiders had banded together. They escorted us to the wall we had scaled just three years prior. I heard gunshots and saw my friends falling to the ground, their blood spilling from their bodies. I whispered a prayer, begging for them not to die, and pleading for us to see another day. My prayer was answered when I heard another round of gunshots. I braced myself for the feeling of cold metal tearing through my flesh, but it never came.

Instead, I felt someone place their hand on my left shoulder, spinning me to face them. It was one of the raiders. She smiled and gestured to where my friends had been laying before, nearly dead. They were alive! But... How? I heard someone gasp and looked in their direction to see my friends starting at me. They smiled and called out for our team leader to come on out to meet the man who saved them and the one to replace Jackie, our healer who was killed by a traitorous scoundrel named Joey Drew. I stared at her and she smiled and stated this. "Your prayers. They have been answered. The name's Jane. What's yours?"

"Henry. Henry Stein." I reply, leaning against the wall for support. "This is my team. We're known as The Phantom Willow. We appear to be easy to kill, but we are unable to be entirely killed for we have branched out much like that of a willow tree." I state, remembering my wife, Linda Stein. She fell fighting for my life. I was only twenty-nine, and I watched the person who was my love get shot until the moment she died... Why the world is like this? Nobody is sure... All we know is that Joey caused the division of toons and humans in the first place. We were one of the five guilds that are made of both toons and humans all working to find and kill Joey Drew. The others are Legendary Timelines, Dreamers Hope, Disney, Memory Chant, and The Healer's Chalice. We all want for there to be peace between us all, but Joey keeps sending in raiders to kill. Some of them joined us. Bendy, Boris, Alice, Charley, Barley, and Edgar were once on his team. They saw our goal and decided to try to negotiate peace. The discussion resulted in them joining our guild and it turns out they were not wanting to fight anyone. Bendy became one of our best techs and still is. Alice became our second best healer compared to Linda... Then again, nobody could replace her. I hear someone sneaking up behind me. I turn around and am greeted by the ghost of Linda.

She smiles and whispers "I sent her to answer your prayers. She is your daughter. And her name is Jane Marianna Stein." My daughter? Jane... I'm so glad she walked into my life.
