Nemesis, Vol. 1

Theodore Retz

His dreams were always in the kitchen, watching ingredients combine to create something new never felt tiresome to him. The death of his brother changed things however, dreams never came with the same colors that they once were. Theodore Ritz is his name, but his coworkers call him Theo. His brother was the only person he considered a friend, and now, solitude altered the snapshot. 

He was always religious, believing that people found a place in the afterlife, but selfishness proceeded above goodwill. Theodore just wanted another day with his brother, and the only way he could think of was through a religious ritual he's discovered within his studies of Asclepius. Legend has it that Asclepius granted the wish of revival for the price of a gold coin. 

The killings didn't begin right away, but with repetition and failure, the blood began to spill. Theo traveled across the world finding a variety of ancient gold coins, searching for the answer to his sole question of resurrection, but to no avail, this did not work in reviving his only friend. 

Theo then thought that Asclepius could've meant other things like a gold coin, something that would be of equal value for Asclepius to return his brother to him. He began offering animals that were tinted in the color of gold. This didn't work as well, this frustrated poor Theo. Theo had lost faith when suddenly a dream of his mission had given him purpose again. This dream told Theo that the only way to revive his lost brother is through offering the one person that is deemed a golden coin by Asclepius. Theo then began killing others and attempting to offer them sacrifices in a way in order to bring back his brother's soul. 

Theo has dipped his hands in blood in order to bring his brother back. Theo will stop at nothing in order to find the person deemed as a golden coin.
