This is the prologue of the clone of my first character and Elisa’s son. It is a different character but I will type it in first person…
As I looked through the garbage for food I see a great explosion rip through the night sky making the day night. I run up to see what it was I see bodies lying everywhere. The Dukes troops lining the streets I try to run but I am quickly caught. Using the knowledge I somehow know in the back of my mind. I grab a mauler pistol out of his holster and blasts his chest open. Covered in gore I run down the desert streets trying to find a place to hide. But no one could hide. ID tags giving away there positions as I watch the lights of a desert hopper dance across the street having not eaten in 4 days and from the exertion from the run my 15 year old body slips into unconsciousness.
I awake in a metal cell. A single window lets in the harsh desert light I look around the cell. Dried blood caking the floor and walls, stilsawire cover the wall and door. The stilsawire just then slid away and the door opened. Two soldiers drabbed in black drag me out the door. As they drag me down the hall I see many other cells. Other children are being lead out. We are forced out into the desert a large frigate touches down. A men dresses in red robes step out. He begins to speak in a deep, harsh voice. “You children have received the honour of being our prey. If you do well you may live for the next day.” With that he took out a lasgun and ripped one of the children to ribbons this will be your fate he states. With that all of us began to run. This began for years till one night when I was 18; I was dragged out of my cell and brought into a ship I was being taken to the adult hunts.
The large ship touched down on a section of the desert I had never seen. Four other men step out of the ship by the clothing they seem to also by one of the hunted. Behind them came 3 hunters. Having done this many times before I began to run, so did the other ones. I could here the hunters coming after. As my persapasuit (traps the water the body gives of through sweat and breathing) chaffing my skin. As I ran a streak of laser fire turns the sand to glass. I dive into the sand and role down a dune. I quickly hid in the sand and waited. As the hunter came over the dune I jumped on his back ripping his combat knife out of its sheath and continued to stab him again and again. Till he was a bloody corpse I pick up the lasgun and continue to run.
To my right I hear a commotion and as I run I see one of the prisoners being chased by two hunters. I fired my lasgun the blast severed the head of one and spilled the others guts over the sand. The prisoner quickly runs over to me with his own stolen lasgun as we continue to run away from the hunters. We hid in a cave to the north of the far off city. I take out the bloody knife and throw it away. I ask the other now free prisoner. He says his name is Daryl. As we talk our rage over the Duke continues to rise as we learn that we both lost so much to him. We set off back to the city to seek our revenge.
Aki enters the Duke chamber with her fellow sisters the newest lesson of the day still painful on her back. Her sisters quickly undress her and leave the room her milky white skin glistening in the harsh sunlight. She is the concubine for the Duke this week till he grows tired and leaves her for the troops. The minute’s path as she looked out the window the Duke raping her body. She sees two figures walk over the dunes of the desert. Aki wishes to be free of this bondage of the sisterhood. She wished with all her heart to be away from the man that was between her legs and to be free out in the world.
Daryl and I walked over the dunes towards the Dukes palace dressed in the black uniform of the guard. We sneak into the palace and begin to plant hidden explosives hidden from sniffers. We continue to walk up the ever larger hallways towards the Dukes royal chambers killing any who deter our path. We reach the gates and quickly dispose of the soldiers guarding the door. I take out the remote switch and detonate the explosives.
Inside the royal chambers Aki shaken off the bed by the explosives. She looks at the Duke he seemed like such a weak men right now. She quickly ran up behind him she easily tricks the Duke into thinking she was scarred then, SNAP! The Dukes body crumbles to the ground. As she looks over the room great joy filling her heart to be free of the Duke. Then the door blasts open and two soldiers enter the room.
As I look through the desert goggles of my uniform I see the Duke crumpled on the floor and a naked woman. I quickly put the lasgun in line with the woman. She began to cry fear evident in her eyes. I get a cloak and a persapasuit. I ask her as she clothes herself what happened. Surprise then understanding passes through my mind. “Come on Aki” I say after learning her name. “We are getting out of here.” “If we are we better get out of here fast. We got company,” yells Daryl over laser fire. “Follow me,” Aki says “I now a way two an ornithopter.” Holding my hand she leads us down into the rarely used northern communication shafts. Out into the sunlight of a launch pad on it a small 4 man ornithopter. We silently crawl inside and start up the wings. Daryl begins to pilot the craft having been taught from his now deceased father. As the hours pass the fuel going we crash into a dune. As we crawl out we head towards a distant line of rocks.
As we enter a cave in the rock path. I say to myself, “Well were safe now.” “Not many of the Duke’s soldiers are safe among the desert dwellers.” A voice from the darkness of the cave echoes out those words. Show yourself.” Says Aki in a voice that had such great force behind them it felt like my ears were going to split. Four men dressed in robes and persapasuits step out from the darkness. One of the robed figures speak “what is a witch doing out here do you and your men serve the Duke or are you rogues.” All of yell rogue glad to have found people who were also at war with the Duke.
On the way back to there home we describe how we came upon there hide out. After hearing our story they gladly accept us. As we reach there home in the mountains. I see a beautiful woman standing in the cave entrance I find out later that her name is Illara. I watch her run down the hidden stairs to meet her brother Aolaz and his best friend Virku. As the two other who accompanied us reach the cave entrance two cruise missiles pierce the cave wall creating a wall of fire. Illara, Aolaz, And Virku begin to run for a distant mound of sand not knowing what to do we follow. It wasn’t sand at all it was a hidden desert hopper. We follow the desert dwellers into the ship as it takes off. The now dead Dukes forces can be seen below us as we speed away towards the city in hopes of getting off planet.
As our desert hopper touches down we sell it for money and get ready to go off planet. We enter a salon and meet up with various blockade runners to get us off world none will take desert dwellers. As we rest in the salon we meet up with a alien women called Sephas. She is one of the Teilmar race who look like a demon mixed with a human with small horns, serrated elf like ears and all black eyes. As we talk to her we find out that she has a way off world but we must take her with us. She leads us down the narrow streets till we come to a landing pad. There 4 of the Dukes troops guard a no-ship. She tells us that they are the only guards here and that if we can dispatch them we can take the craft. We quickly dispatch them and take the no-ship into orbit and out into slipstream… this is where my characters will start the game there is more to the plot but it will evolve as the game continues.
