Chapter 1: Girl, Revenant
Swimming in the beautiful ocean, under the sea where fishes vertigo about in their natural habitat. But among the waters, there is a dark and cold area with the most lethal species of mankind. This nethermost part is known as the deep sea, it's where the creepiest and bony fish live. The angler fish live among the under-waters but not just them in the deep sea but sharks, barracudas, and other dangers among them. They are hard to believe to be in the fish category. There is one person who is interested in these creatures was Franklin Azurr who did experiments, there were many mysterious deaths of sailors and marine biologists. There was corpses as they were disfigured of sight and hard to look at as they are all mangled. If people thought the underwater monsters were creepy in the sea, imagine what it'll be like to have creatures on land wandering about. A real nightmare, a scary thought. But all these horrible things are dwelt in a great box. What lies in it is a secret, and nobody should not ask any questions about it. The box was left here to be kept safely.
In the meantime....
Cassandra, Jack, Minerva, Bellerophon, Tristan, George, Margaret, Siegfried, Indra, and Commander Adam Rustung were patrolling in Mictlan. Slaying Revenants, left and right--the whole battlefield was crazy! "There's too many of them, sir!" Cassandra called. "Keep pushing a little more, only three percent remain." Commander Rustung instructed. "Roger that, we're almost there!" hollered Bellerophon. He turned to Cassandra and said, "Hang in there, Cass. We're almost there." Cassandra nodded, She can't give up now--fighting to survive, push and push. No matter what, never surrender. Run, fight, for the sake of survival here and now! Never stopping, panting out of breath but she did not ceased until the Revenants are all slaughtered. Once it was over, victory came about for Abendstern Squad, the name of Commander Rustung's military unit. Cassandra was out of breath as the others, she was tired as she almost passed out but Jack caught her along with Minerva and Bellerophon, they escorted her back to the base of Abendstern. Commander Rustung praised everyone for their hard work today but some noticed Cassandra was not present however Adam, Siegfried, and Indra knew where. In one of the cabins; Cassandra was asleep as Jack, Minerva, and Bellerophon watched her. They're concern for how hard she work and what she's been through before. "No one should go through that again, just like--" Minerva started to say but Jack glared at her. "Don't mention that again, I can't believe it--they were possessed!"
"Yes, it's so shocking but we're not sure what happens now and she hasn't spoke about it since." replied Bellerophon. "If I see them--I'll make them pay for their sins." Minerva vowed. "Come on, we don't know what really happened." said Jack. While Jack and Minerva banter amongst themselves; Bellerophon looked around and gasped at the sight of a girl Jack's age. She has a white dress and dark brown hair. But the girl went away quickly, Jack and Minerva heard their friend gasp. "What's wrong, Bellerophon?" Minerva asked. Bellerophon looked at his friends who are concern for him. But Bellerophon laughed nervously, "Nothing, just thought I saw something. Must be my imagination getting the best of me." He assured them but he wonders what it might be. In the meantime at night; Tristan and George looked up at the dark sky with diamond like stars twinkling about up there. "Man, look at the stars. I wonder how many there are." said George. "Who knows." guessed Tristan with a shrug, "A million, maybe a billion." "Wow, that's amazing." replied George. But they were both tired as they decided to get some rest but they stop in their tracks to hear singing. It sounded like, "Shatter....Shatter." repeated over and over again. Tristan and George were dizzy by the singing as they decide to get some sleep in their cabins tonight. While everyone slept; The person that was singing, it was a girl with dark brown hair and wearing white. It was a strapless, flowing dress and wears no shoes on her feet. She looks over at Jack who slept so peacefully. She walked over and wrapped her arms around him. Caressing his hair as she whispered, "So, the beast sleeps tonight. In the army, this mighty army....Is where these warriors have traits of swift, force, strength, and mysteriousness about themselves." The girl watched as Jack's chest rise slowly up and down as he slept. "He may sleep like a human but I know he has a burning red fury within that body of his." rasped the girl softly. Then, she leaves Jack for a moment to look over at Cassandra and said, "And you...Once I destroy you....Once you are out of the picture, Jack is mine! All mine, he won't be a pet of you anymore." The girl muttered quietly. But she hits the sides of her temples as she said in a soft groan, "Urrrgggh!" She calms down by telling herself in a soothing voice, "OK, OK. I'm fine, I'm all right." The girl left as she turned out to be a Revenant just like Jack but there's something more unstable in the head about her. A vengeful girl with desire of revenge. Hatred. All in her system. Later in a strange house known as Tranen Manor; The girl watched the memories on the Moneta about Jack and the others: Young Jack Morder living in a happy life but he was a fearsome person when it came to his anger. Jack was not an idiot, he was simply emotional. The memories changed--It was an unconscious dream of darkness and blood flowing...Wait? Whose blood is that? There were monsters with claws and baring their teeth. Someone called out a name, "Jack...Jack!" The boy, Jack, woke up from sleep with a start. He panted and looked around, his foster sister Minerva was calling his name. She was dressed in uniform.
"W-what?" Jack asked. "Come on, we're gonna be late." Minerva urged. At once, Jack threw the covers to reveal he was in his pajamas. "Sorry, coming!" He called. As Minerva left the room; Jack got ready. He got his uniform on and looked out the window. The beautiful sky, would it be like this forever? He wasn't sure about that. "Jack! Minerva is waiting!" It was his mother's voice. "Coming Mom." He called. And left his room with his messenger bag. It was the first year of middle school, Jack and his friends were attending there. They were excited about the next field trip until one day, it happened. Jack was paying attention but he heard a scratching sound. “What the heck was that?” He wondered. He turned and was shocked to see an Revenant! Jack got up, when his teacher asked but saw the creature too. The Revenant broke in and wreck the classroom. The only ones that survived luckily were Jack, Minevra, and Bellerophon. They each hurried back to their homes, Jack enters his house but is stunt to find his mother struggling against an Revenant. She looks to see her son, “Everything’s going to be OK. Just don’t look.” “Mom!” Jack cried but his mother shake her head, “Sweetheart. Just go, please!” She said. Tears welled in his eyes, “No….No, NO, NOOO! I’m not leaving you! Just forget it!” Jack shouted. “JACK! GO, RUN!” screamed his mother. The Revenant bite into Jack's mother, who gasped. Jack was motionless, frozen, his mother was lifeless now as she bled to death. Jack was pulled away by Minerva, who dragged him off. She and he reunite with Bellerophon and other survivors from the school. Losing his mother to a Revenant was the most unsettling mental wound, and ever since that day; he vowed to wipe out as many Revenants as possible. One day earlier when he was a preteen, Jack reunited with his father who loses his edge on sanity! "Dad? Are you OK?" Jack asked, noticing his father was acting stranger than usual today. His father turned to him slowly, "Jack...Did you see what they did to your mother?" He asked ominously. "What?" Jack said, "I don't know what you're talking about." "Did you see them murdered innocent people?" Professor Morder asked. "Dad, why are you asking me this? What's going on?" Jack insisted. Jack's father seized his son's shoulders and he looked overwrought, "TELL ME YOU SAW PEOPLE GETTING THEIR VISCERAS TORN OUT AND EATEN! THE INNOCENT LIVES DYING, PLEASE! YOU HAVE TO TELL ME WHAT YOU SAW ON THAT DAY!!!!!!" He demanded. Jack was frightened, "I--I heard scratching on the window, I looked and--I ran home during all this disaster! Why the hell would you ask me this?! Mom's dead, her throat had been torn open and I didn't save her! It's all my fault! Punish me if you want but it won't bring her back!" Jack protested. But somehow he didn't, Professor Morder never raised a hand on his son and always forgave him before. He released his son from his grasp and he turned away where an emotional yet quiet sound made Jack wondered if his father was really crying. He had never seen his father cried before. Not in his life has Jack seen his Dad blubber. Morder begin to pray softly to himself in a murmur: "Oh God....Please, help this little boy to face the dark days ahead. Show him if he becomes an abomination, he will deliver these monster back to hell." "Dad? Dad?" Jack called out to his father, "What's wrong?" His father turned to his son after he wiped his eyes with his back turned. "Jack, I have something to show you." Jack and his father were heading towards Professor's workshop, the one that Jack and his friends were told to never go in there. But when they got inside, Jack went unconscious and then he woke up strapped to a table and his father standing over him with a scalpel. Jack was so scared that he tried to scream for help but his father put a hand over his mouth and shouted: "SAVE THE INNOCENCE, MY SON! YOU PRAY, BOY! YOU PRAY FOR MERCY!!!!" That's all he remembered from his father and he had a nightmare about it. Jack woke up and found out that his father was gone but he doesn't know where so he is now in the custody of the Tenderfoot Orphanage. There, Jack plans to have a better life at the place he dreams of: The Abendstern Squad. Minerva and Bellerophon learned about his intentions and confront him. "Jack, are you sure about this?" Bellerophon asked. "I'm dead serious, I'm going to see if I can be part of this squad." Jack said enthusiastically. "I don't know about this--" Minerva starts to warn, "I know what I'm doing!" Jack declared. "Then, I'm coming along." Bellerophon replied. "No. Way." Jack said. "I am!" Bellerophon insisted, "I'm sick of being bullied all the time! It's high time I stand up and fight--Even if I'm pushed to the limit."
Gwnedolyn becomes friendly towards Jack; some of the others are nice to him but wary about trusting him such as Izzy, Jesse, as well as Evander. But Jack was closed friends with them so much that he was stricken with grief after he failed to save them. The one person that killed them was the Revenant Crone, or better known as Gaia Erde. Gaia was arrested for her crimes after he battle with Jack. However things changed when Beowolf and Apollo turned out to be Revenants too as they were the ones that started the massacre of Jack's school. The Revenants known as Revenant Alpha and Revenant Omega. They betrayed their dear friends, which they later feel guilty about, and escaped. Hurt and shocked by this deception; Jack vows to find them and eliminate them for what they did. Once more while watching the Moneta, The girl was observing all this as she becomes even more obsessive. She turns away and goes to her room where she close the door and lied on her bed for a moment; the faces from Mictlan are haunting her. But the most ones are Jack, Minerva, Bellerphon, Siegfried, Tristan however mostly Jack. And then her hands fumbled under the covers and she begins to...Jerk. She looked like she was crying, thinking about Bellerophon's tearful face and hysteria. Thinking and in tears, the girl begins to moan softly and gasps while remembering when she saw Jack's suffering memories, his determination, his emotions, and his transformation into a Revenant. Later, she is in the bathroom, washing her hands. "Ugh, I gotta stop with the Ruddy Mitts Treatment." She said to herself. She dried her hands as she said in a timid like voice, "That's the last time I'll do that again, being a girl and play with myself over something fixating for nightmarish, melancholic, and amazing things."
There was a girl who was a Revenant type like Jack, Beowulf, Apollo, and Gaia. She wore a one shoulder dress made out mangled flesh and blood at elbow length while blood seeping among her bare feet. Her irises were red of an inflamed rage and her hair was white as snow as well as her skin complexion. She used her bloody, wraithlike disembodied hands to take out the other Revenants without remorse. She is chased by Jack, Minerva, Bellerophon, Tristan, and Siegfried as they sprung a trap on her; kidnapping Revenant Girl. Later, The Revenant Girl's wrists were bound over her head as Abendstern kept watch over her. Siegfried glared down at her, "Well hello Monster Girl. Anybody there? I know you can hear my voice. Tell us who you are and maybe we can spare you mercy--If you are willing to cooperate." He said. Revenant Girl glared back at him but didn't reply. Siegfried looked over at the girl, she was so innocent with blood splattered among her. Red and white contrast with one another, red for impurity and white for vestal, this girl was among rage and pure at the same time. She looked so angry and also hiding her emotions so much. Captain Krieger was misunderstood over the purpose about pawing the other soldiers' minds as well as fondling with their emotions. "Why the hell would she do that? What was the meaning into that?" wondered Siegfried. Revenant Girl turned away from him but Siegfired seized her jaw, squeezed her cheeks so hard and forced her to look at him. "Don't you dare look away from me, look at me right in the eyes and tell us who you are." demanded Siegfried, "You think any of us don't know who are. By the time their done with you, I can't wait to see you burn like a witch tied to a stake. Now, I'm going to ask you this one more time--Who. Are. You?"
Revenant Girl was quiet and responded in a creepy yet ethereal voice so inhuman and so beautiful that it was chilling too. "I can't explain myself, Captain. You see, I'm not myself. But who cares for you anyway, you are nothing but a deck of cards." Then she opened her mouth as it looked unhinged and let out a diabolic cry from her maw and Revenants came as they free the creature lady while trying to ambush the Abendstern Squad, who overpower them. Revenant Girl was gliding away but she stumbled upon Bellerophon and smiled with delight, "Hello Little Lamb." She said with a purr. Bellerophon jumped but then he realized that Revenant Girl looked familiar, "You're that girl who spied on me." He said. Revenant Girl looked surprised as the others looked curious as they tried to trap her again but the Revenant Girl slipped passed them and escaped so fast that the rest of the squad lost sight of her. Instead, they are faced with predators with bony and eerie features. They are called Tiefsee Psaria, which are like deep sea, bony fishes underwater. They are similar to swallowers, angular fishes, and others that are strange. They attacked Cassandra and the others who are horrified by this sight. Cassandra has never seen these type before and managed to back away from the terror. She telekinetically pushed them away but was unable to destroy them with her powers for they have an anti telekinesis immunity. The Tiefsee Psaria creatures went away and Cassandra burrowed research on these things and learned of the girl's name: Her name is Persephone Johannes. She is tragic, tortured and misunderstood. As a 15 year old girl; Persephone was lonely, shy and timid around others as she had no confidence. A fractured young soul, in need of support and love. But when she was abused and tortured; she became a cold-blooded killer to the wicked. She turned homicidal, sadistic, and destructive nature to those that hurt her. When Persephone was a child; she lost her father when she was a child and her cruel mother Pandora remarried to a depraved, dominant, and oppressive man that became her stepfather name Damasus Maclain. Pandora change her name from Pandora Johannes to Pandora Maclain.
Damasus used to chain her up, as instructed by Pandora who was fanatically pious, she speaks with religious overtones but her motives were malevolent and believed everything in the world was considered 'unclean'. She wore a dark grey ceremonial dress and headdress with white roses, crucifixes, and wore no shoes but rather slippers. Damasus was a presumed as a fanatic pious man that was a ruse to her in order not to be abused by her. He is a malicious, and aggressive man with overtones of conniving, cruel, and verbally abuses Persephone and tormenting her. Pandora was aware of the abuse however she didn't do anything as she wanted her daughter to be 'cleansed of sin'. Damasus was hungry for admiration, power, obedience and chivalric honor. When Damasus was told to chain up Persephone, he seemed to have a sadistic side as he was delighted to be alone with her. "You think you can hurt me, I don't think you can escape with those chains Little Lady." said Damasus. Persephone glares up at her stepfather, "Chains are nothing, I've been abused before. It's no big." She insisted. Damasus pulled out a syringe and smiled in a sinister way as he said, "That's nothing, compared what I'm going to do to you." Persephone looked horrified as her screams were the only thing that echoed in the house. Persephone was now a 'monster', a Revenant, where she was shunned by her mother sometimes when she became this way but Persephone learn to control her power. She made friends in elementary name Abinadi Licht and his younger sister Penthesilea. Even their mother Gingira who treated Persephone very kindly. Abinadi, Pentesilea, and Gingira were shocked to learn what had happened with her life and her new life as a Revenant hybrid but they want to report Pandora and Damasus for the abuse and trouble. Damasus found out as he told Pandora, which they both plan to kill her. But while Persephone was at school; she and her friends are given a shocking message that something was wrong at home.

Damasus found out as he told Pandora, which they both plan to kill her. But while Persephone was at school; she and her friends are given a shocking message that something was wrong at home.
They hurried back home, Persephone enters the house but is stunt to find their mother struggling against Pandora. She looks to see her children, “Everything’s going to be OK. Just don’t look.” “Mom!” Penthesilea cried but their mother shake her head, “Kids, listen to me....Remember that grenade--Just pull the top and throw it at the wall!” She said. Tears welled in their eyes, Persephone cried out, “Gingira! Don't do this, please!” "Listen to me, Persephone, Just go, RUN!” screamed Gingira. Pandora stabbed a knife into Penthesilea and Abinadi's mother, who gasped while Pandora panted as she looked content at the deed had been done. Penthesilea and Abinadi was motionless, frozen, their mother was lifeless now as she bled to death. They were pulled away by Persephone, who took the grenade, pulled the pin, and threw it at the wall. Persephone felt so guilty for not saving their mother, which was the most unsettling mental wound. She would do anything to pay them back one day. However in a few years when they were young teens; Penthesilea and Abinadi offered to go after Pandora and her stephusband Damasus, Persephone refused however Penthesilea begs so Persephone decided to trust her to go. That was a tragedy she'd never forget. She reached over where Pandora and Damasus, they were gone but a body was among them. It was Abinadi as well as Penthesilea, who died earlier before Abinadi. They were on the ground, bleed profusely. Persephone couldn't believe it, "Abinadi! Penthesilea!" She cried, rushing over to them. She grasped onto Abinadi 's hand, "Come on. Stay with me, you guys will be fine....I'l get you a doctor soon enough." Persephone said. Abinadi opened his eyes, he smiled. "I'm sorry. I thought...I thought I was doing you a favor." He said. Persephone trembled, "Yes. You were." She said. "That's good. We love you, you are our best friend." whispered Abinadi. He closed his eyes, and with that, he died. Persephone couldn't believe it, she bowed her head. He was gone, they both were, her best friends were dead.
Upset, Persephone confronted Damasus. They fought off against each other. But Persephone got the best of him, Damasus was pinned to the ground. "This is the end for you." said Persephone. "Oh really? You weren't so sure of yourself? Well, it won't be peaceful for you for long." taunted Damasus, "You are nothing, you couldn't be strong enough to save your peers in that massacre. You couldn't save your dearest friends, nor their sweet mother when your mother killed her!" Persephone shuttered, she couldn't believe it and she lost control of herself. She begin to stab him repeatedly while screaming hysterically. When she snapped out of it, Persephone was shocked as she saw that her hands were dripping with blood. She begins to cry uncontrollably, she thought she lose consciousness. About a few years later; Persephone was in school but she hated it; she was always bullied there every day. From her childhood to her young teens. In elementary; Persephone saw a bunch of kids playing and he approaches them, saying: "Hi guys." The kids stare at her before bursting out laughing and walking away. Persephone was hurt by the harsh rejection as she bowed her head. Another time she was playing an innocent game of tag when three bullies throw tennis balls at him hard and one of them grabbed his wrists but a teacher caught them and rescues Young Persephone. The bullies are punished for what they done. Middle school wasn't any better, she was bullied for her perfect writing skills and one of the friends she trusted spread a rumor that Persephone was writing about the 'hottest boys' when the actually truth was Persephone was writing only about other matters but it was too painful to admit. Persephone tried to get help from her teachers, only one help but another ignored him as he had cotton balls in his bushy ears. But he explained that the staff wasn't trained to do things like that. There's no love for her. Everybody had hurt her, hated her, resented her, destroyed him almost, and try to make her fade away in obscurity.
However one of the former bullies name Elpis Paulo takes pity on Persephone and turned to her nice friends she now hangs out with to befriend Persephone. It worked as Persephone became very close to the four friends she made. At a festival; Persephone, who was having a blast with friends: Kleobis Holz, Biton Luft, Osiris Feuer, and Svafa Wasser. Just then, unexpected visitors crashed the party with loaded guns and started a massacre. They shot at other people who fell to the floor. Panic filled everyone else, they try to flee but some were shot in the process. "Kleobis! Biton! Osiris! Svafa!" called Persephone. "Persephone!" Biton called. "Persephone, where are you?!" hollered Kleobis. She went over but looked on in horror as her friends were wounded, almost dead. She noticed that Osiris was panting of the wound bleeding from there as he cries out, "Ohhh, the pain." He noticed Persephone there and calls out, "Get away from here!" "Save yourself Persephone!" Svafa called out, "Get away from here!" However they were all shot at as Persephone screamed with terror. She was shot too, in her thigh, and it took awhile for her to recover. While resting up for awhile, Persephone's sanity begin to slip like crazy over the tragedy as she thought about the people that tortured her, her former friend Lilith 'Lila' Reginn. The other bullies: Camilia 'Cammy' Ewan, Tammuz Jaso, and Nessus 'Ness' Zoma were the ones that tortured her. As she was recovering; Lila Reginn and Tammuz Jaso came by to check on Persephone but instead they taunt her, explaining the awful truth: They admitted that they were the ones that killed her four best friends. Persephone felt foolish, she was heaved with sadness and anger that she turned into her Revenant form, screaming: "WHY?! WHY IS EVERYONE I LOVE IS KILLED?! WHYYYYYYY?" Lila and Tammuz tried to flee from her but it was no use, they were already killed. Later, Persephone sat as she looked at Tammuz and Lila's bodies.
Then, Persephone confronted Cammy and Ness as she pulled out a gun and begin to shoot at different objects in the room they were in. Persephone begin to shriek with tears pooling out of her eyes, "EVERYTHING YOU TOLD ME WAS A LIE!!!!" Cammy and Ness were scared, they never seen her this way and they were so frightened of not knowing what might happen. Persephone pointed at the couple with her gun, "You--all of you! You killed them! My best friends! Lila and Tammuz told me everything! EVERYTHING!!!!! Well, those bastards got what was coming for them!" claimed Persephone. Cammy stared at her with fear, "What did you do them, you freak?" She demanded. "I GOT RID OF THEM!!!!!!" Persephone screamed, she dropped her gun and turned into a Revenant as she slaughtered them both. In her rage; she went back to home where her mother was not back yet. However, she went to the forbidden box that her mother told her not to open. But Persephone lifted the lid nearly upright and looked inside. It seemed as if a sudden swarm of inhuman creatures brushed past her, taking flight out of the box,. while at the same instant she heard her mother calling in pain. "Ohhhhh, it's them!' Pandora cried, "You naughty girl! Why have you opened the box?" Persephone let fall the lid and looked about her to see what was happening to her mother. The thundercloud had so darkened the room that she could not very clearly see what was in it. But she heard a growl of monstrosity. Then, there was the slashing and the ripping. It was a squeamish noise. Persephone dared not to look but she flung herself upon the floor and rested her head there. She was sobbing as if her heart would break.
Suddenly there was a gentle tap on her skin. "What can that be?" thought Persephone, lifting her head. "Who are you?" asked Persephone. "Why are you, poking me?" A sweet voice spoke to her: "Wake up, it's me. Elpis." said the voice. "No, no," answered Persephone, again beginning to sob, "I have had enough of you people! You are horrible creatures and you should stay away from me!" "I'm not like my friends. Come on, Pretty Persephone! I am sure you will let me in." Elpis said gently. So Persephone got back up as Elpis healed her wound which stung her, and immediately the pain was gone. Then she kissed Persephone on the forehead, and her hurt was also cured. "Will you stay with me," asked Persephone, "forever and ever?" "As long as you need me," said Elpis with a smile, "I promise I'll never leave you. There may be times now and then when you will think that I have left you. But again, and again, and again, when perhaps you least dream of my being with you, you shall see the glimmer on you for I am your only hope, the only hope that was left in the box." In the present; Persephone may have attributes of kindness towards Elpis, who became her caretaker, but Persephone somehow became a different person: She was hardheaded, passionate and impulsive however she possesses great amounts of selflessness, perseverance, fortitude, and a vigorous determination. Persephone has traits of a clever, intelligent and quick-witted young lady with a sharp tongue. She is shown to be ruthless, cynical however her inner feelings show she is depressed, traumatized, tortured, mentally unstable and constantly haunted by the memories of her past. Her skeptical nature is where she is abrasive and unapproachable but always delivered in deadpan. She speaks in brash and insulting manner, to those that irritate her or try to provoke her. As a Revenant, like Jack, Persephone is savage, bloodthirsty, and all-round uncontrollable. She even shows a more sadistic and vindictive side to her to want to kill the ones that enjoy tormenting the innocence, similar to her past.
But has a softer side of care greatly for those that are innocent and does not killed the guiltless, kind, and good nature people. She doesn't want to be like her mother or stepfather, or any of the tormentors in her life. Witnessing these memories on the Moneta; Cassandra understands her intentions. Meanwhile; Jack was carrying flowers of lilies, carnations, and poppies to visit the memorial sites of Evander Fidel, Isadore 'Izzy' Sophos, Jesse Agapito, and Gwendolyn Wite. He placed them there, then he brushed the leaves away and starts to speak: "Hi guys. I came to see you, I'm sorry I was busy for awhile with Cassandra. You know, the girl I met that killed that Revenant without touching it? Yeah, her. I know, it's crazy." He paused. He thought about the day where he failed to save them. Then, he felt like crying. "I...I should've listened, I just thought I was doing the right thing. I didn't.....I can't blame Gaia, it's my fault too. I wish I could go back and change it, save all of you. But I know I can't." said Jack. He bowed his head as he wrapped his arms around himself, shivered in the cold wind. "I miss you so much....Evander, I miss the way that you were neutral whenever we argued. Jesse, your leadership really was the heart everything since they don't call you third in command for nothing. You were a true friend too.....Izzy, you and your big mouth--Heh.....But you had a big heart. You may not care but I do.....You were always aloof, talking like you knew everything." said Jack, chuckling a little but he softens up, ".....But you were like a guide, helping me. The same with Gwnedolyn, thank you for welcoming me into the squad for the first day. And...To all of you, I--I really appreciate it, Gwen." A tear rolled down his cheek, he wiped it away and covered his eyes with one hand but more tears were cascading down more and more.

You may not care but I do.....You were always aloof, talking like you knew everything." said Jack, chuckling a little but he softens up, ".....But you were like a guide, helping me. The same with Gwnedolyn, thank you for welcoming me into the squad for the first day. And...To all of you, I--I really appreciate it, Gwen." A tear rolled down his cheek, he wiped it away and covered his eyes with one hand but more tears were cascading down more and more.
"I don't know, should I say I'm sorry? Should I?" He said sobbingly. Jack bent to the ground, sniffing and crying so nobody can hear it. But then, someone came by and ask, "Hey...What are you doing?" It was a friendly, cheerful voice that sounded curious. Jack wiped his tears away and turned to see a girl but he did a double take for the girl looked familiar. She had hair medium long length with hair accesories that were light blue and white with dark blue as well. "Gwendolyn?" thought Jack. But he looked at the hair accesories again, they were lavender and teal--Not blue and white colors. The girl looked at him with curisoity, "You're looking at my hair accesories, are you interested in them?" She asked. Jack looked away, "Uh--I just thought they looked pretty on you." He said shyly. The girl looked surprised, "Oh really? Wow, thanks. No guy has complimented on them except one of my friends. Two others just say that I look like a weird hippie, can you believe that?" She said with a laugh. Jack laugh too, but he was a little disappointed that the girl was not Gwendolyn. "Damn, I thought for a moment...." thought Jack. "Hey, are those flowers? Who are they for?" the girl asked. Jack looked up surprised, the girl noticed. "Oh, sorry. I was just curious. They look so pretty." She apologized. Jack looked at the flowers at the memorial site. "Poppies, lilies, and carnations....It's for some friends of mine, they were true companions and comrades that died." explained Jack. The girl looked at the site, "Oh, I'm so sorry." She said with sympathy. "Do you have any losses of your own?" asked Jack.
The girl looked at him and shook her head, "No. Not really." She said, "I mean, not in awhile." "I see." said Jack. He turned to leave, but the girl caught up with him. "Hey, what's your name? You seem like an interested person." She said. Jack stopped, that reminded him of something. That's what Gwendolyn once said, "So, you're Jack, huh. You're an interested person." Jack snapped back to reality, he looked over at the girl and said, "Jack. Jack Mordor." The girl smiled and she too introduced herself: "I'm Sedna Anastasios." Jack talked to Sedna as he got to know her better but after about an hour later; Sedna had to go home however she has some friends that she wants him to meet, assuring him that they are good people. Sedna was one of the nicest people Jack has ever met, Jack and Sedna agree to meet at the memorial site tomorrow. The next day, Sedna was nowhere in site as Jack believe that she broke her promise. Just before he was about to leave, Sedna appeared and surprised him with a forget-me-not flower. She appears to have other friends--Svafar Navin, Helgi Suzaku and Shango Lazarus. Svafar was a responsible and firm as he has a straightforward manner. Shango is a cocky, obnoxious but has a heart of gold and Helgi is a stern as well as reasonable guy. While Jack was with them; he laughs and talks with them but in his heart, Jack can see the four as he is reminded of Evander, Izzy, Jesse, and Gwendolyn. He felt sad, he felt so much emotion in him. Realizing whaat he was thinking of, he had to stay calm. Jack didn't want to show any weakness around them.
"Hey, Sedna?" Jack asked. "Yeah?" Sedna said. "What were you doing out here yesterday?" Jack inquired. Sedna was shy, blushing a bit. "Oh, nothing." She admitted. Shango nudged her in the ribs playfully, "Yeah, right. You were drawing right?" He said lightly. Sedna smiled vivaciously, "So what if I was!" She said, giving him a light-hearted shove. Jack looked surprised, "You draw?" He asked. "Yeah, I....Here." Sedna looked nervous as she pulled out her sketchbook and showed it to Jack, who looked stunt at how much of a great artist she is. "Wow, it's beautiful." Jack breathed. Sedna looked surprised, then she seemed pleased. "Really?" She asked. "Mmm-Hmm." Jack answered with a nod. "Show her my favorite." Shango said. Sedna realized what he meant, "Oh yeah." She flipped a little more and showed it to Jack, who looked surprised at what it was--or who, actually. "Whoa, that looks like--" Jack said. Sedna grinned, "Yeah, it was of Captain Siegfried Krieger. Nice huh?" She said. Jack is surprised by this, he had to admit---This girl was good. "Jack?" Sedna said. "Yeah?" said Jack. "Do you think.....do you think we can join you guys?" Shango asked. Jack looked surprised, "You want to join the Abendstern Squad?" He inquired. The four of them nodded, Jack could almost see them, "I can't let that tragedy happen again!" He thought. "I don't know, it might be dangerous....Besides, I'll have to asked Captain Krieger first, it's not really up to me." said Jack. "OK." Sedna said coolly. Jack and his new companions to meet one another back here tomorrow, Jack said goodbye before he went away. In the meantime, Sedna seemed to have someone cleaning and decided to help her. That someone was Persephone. But she was humming to herself, she was discovered yesterday. Today, Persephone was humming to herself while cleaning a little.
Sedna, who was cleaning beside her, heard her humming softly. "Singing helps you work faster?" She asked. Persephone jumps and looks up. "Sorry?" She asked. "You were singing a little softly. Sounds like that song is nice." replied Sedna. "It's Ariadne Sirius, she's one of my favorite artist. The song is 'Breakthrough'. If you want to hear it, I got the CD." said Persephone timidly. Sedna nodded, "Hmm. Never heard of her. It sounds nice." She replied. Persephone smiled and they continued to work.
