The Hero's Guide to Heroing
A story about superheroes in a modern world. Once, humans and power wielders were at war. The war brought both side to the brink of destruction, forcing peace or extinction. A tentative peace prevailed for a time. Enough to build trust between the two sides for many years. But as the two sides grew together some of the old hatreds began to stir again. Those who held these old hatreds became known as villains, while those who fought them became known as heroes.
"Are you sure this will work?" one of the figures around the table ask. All are dressed in black and hide their faces. No one wants to be known to anyone else in 'this' type of alliance.
"I'm certain of it. We need to simply kill the few true heroes left, and then expose the rest for the self righteous corrupt creatures they are. I've already started gathering the pieces I need."
"What's the end goal here?" a third figure asks.
"To purge the world of corruption and all those who turn a blind eye to it." There is a long silence before a fourth voice speaks out.
"Your talking about mass slaughter. I won't be a part of this." the figure stands and begins to leave the table.
"It seems there is corruption in our very own ranks.... I suppose the best place to start is within the inner vessel, is it not?"
"No! What are you Doing? Stop!"
